PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) 표면에 저에너지 이온빔을 조사함으로써 그의 물성을 개질하여 금속과의 접착력을 향상시켰다. 이온 조사로 인한 표면 형상 변화를 최소화하기 위하여 수소 이온을 사용하였다. 이온빔을 발생시키기 위하여 냉음극관 이온소스를 사용하였으며 사용된 이온빔의 종류는 수소 이온이고 이와 비교하기 위하여 아르곤 이온도 사용하였다. 다양한 이온 조사량에서 실험을 행하였으며 표면 처리 효과를 촉진시키기 위하여 산소 분위기 가스를 사용하였다. 처리된 PTFE와 처리하지 PTFE는 물과의 접촉각 (water contact angle) 측정, SEM 표면 이미지 관찰 등으로 평가하였고, 표면 물성 및 금속 박막과의 접착력을 알아보기 위하여 구리 박막을 증착한 후 반사율 측정 및 접착력 테스트를 수행하였다. 고분자 표면 처리에 많이 사용되는 산소 분위기 가스를 넣어주면 서 아르곤 이온빔 조사를 수행한 경우는 $1\times10^{16}\;ions/cm^2$부터 금속과의 접착력이 확보되었으나 SEM표면 관찰 결과 그의 표면이 침상 형상으로 변함을 알 수 있었다. 수소 이온으로 PTFE표면 개질을 수행하면 표면 형상은 변하지 않았으나 접착력 또한 증가하지 않았다. 그러나 수소 이온 조사시 산소 분위기 가스를 사용하면 $5\times10^{16}\;ions/cm^2$ 부터 접착력이 향상되었으며 표면도 침상형상으로 변하지 않았다. PTFE 표면 위에 구리 박막 증착 후 반사도 측정함으로써 수소 이온과 산소 분위기 가스를 사용한 경우가 표면 물성이 아르곤 이온을 사용하였을 때 보다 더 우수함을 확인하였다. 다양한 산소 유량에서 수소 이온을 조사한 결과 표면 형상 및 접착력은 산소 유량에 많이 의존함을 확인하였고 따라서 적당한 산소 분위기 가스 유량에서 수소 이온을 PTFE 표면에 조사한다면 금속과의 높은 접착력 및 우수한 표면 물성을 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

기체혼합물의 분리및 정제기술은 에너지 절약의 관점과 새로운 기능성 고분자의 개발로 고분자막에 의한 분리법이 관심을 끌게되었다. 공기로부터 산소부화, 방사성 크세논 및 크립론의 제거, 제련소 폐가스증의 수소분리, 천연가스로부터 헬륨의 회수분야등은 실제로 산업적으로 실용화되고 있다. 그러나 고분자막은 일반적으로 투과성과 선택성이 서로 상반되는 경향을 나타내므로, 투과성과 분리성이 좋은 기능성 고분자막의 개발에 다양한 연구가 필요로 하고있다. 본 연구에서 사용한 PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene)는 결정성 고분자로서 넓은 온도범위에서 낮은 마찰계수, 우수한 전기적 절연특성, 강한 Carbon-fluorine 겹합에 기인한 높은 열적 안정성, 화확적 불활성때문에 공업용 고분자 재료로서 독특한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 최근에 미국과 일본을 주축으로 상용화딘 공기전지(Zinc-air battery)는 PTFE막의 뛰어난 소수성과 화학적 저항성으로 수은 전지의 대체품으로 주목받고 있는데, 장기 방전시 성능 저하가 따르므로 막을 통한 산소투과성을 방전에 필요한 최소값으로 감소시키는 것이 중요한 과제가 되고있다.

Alcohol-based solvents including ethanol (EtOH) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) are investigated instead of isopropanol (IPA), which is a common solvent for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), as an alternative solvent for preparing the catalyst slurry with PTFE binder. As a result, the performance at 0.2 A/㎠ from the single cells from using catalyst slurries based on EtOH and TBA showed very similar value to that from the slurry using IPA, which implies the EtOH and TBA can be used as a solvent for the catalyst slurry. It is also confirmed by the very close values of the total resistance of the membrane electrode assemblies from the slurries using different solvents. In the energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) image, the shape of crack and dispersion of PTFE are changed according to the vapor pressure of the solvent.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membrane exposure on the initial healing of the periodontal tissue in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedure. 90 sites selected from 90 patients were treated with gingival flap surgery supported by an e-PTFE membrane. The material included angular bony defects with probing attachment loss of > 5mm or degree II furcation involvement. Treated sites were classified with membrane exposure group and non-exposure group at membrane removal and evaluated healing type. The results were obtained as follows. 1. e-PTFE membrane was exposed at 61 sites (67.8%) among 90 sites. 2. Thirteen sites (14.4%) depicted rapid healing type, 65 sites (72.2%) depicted typical healing type, 9 sites (10%) showed delayed healing type and 3 sites (3.3%) were categorized as adversed healing type. 3. In e-PTFE membrane exposure group, 1 site (1.6%), 51 sites (83.6%), 6 sites (9.8%) and 3 sites (4.9%) showed rapid healing type, typical healing type, delayed healing type and adverse healing type respectively. 4. In e-PTFE membrane non-exposure group, 12 sites (41.3%), 14 sites (48.3%) and 3 sites (10.3%) showed rapid healing type, typical healing type and delayed healing type respectively. Adverse healing type was not observed. 5. The rate of favourable healing between e-PTFE membrane exposure group and non-exposure group was not statistically significant(p=0.56). These results suggest that the prevention of membrane exposure may be important to obtain rapid healing type. However favourable healing could be obtained with stringent infection control program even if membrane was exposed.

구조물을 지진 위험으로부터 완화시키기 위한 마찰면진장치의 상용화된 마찰재료 중 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌(polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE)은 내화학성과 마찰성능이 우수하다. 그러나 PTFE는 상대적으로 낮은 내마모성을 가지므로 경제적인 마찰재료이며 산화마그네슘(oxide magnesium, MgO)으로 내마모성을 증가시킨 개선된 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드(polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF)를 PTFE의 대안으로 제안하였다. 개발된 PVDF/MgO 마찰재를 이용하여 실험을 통해 마찰성능을 측정하였으며 PTFE의 마찰성능과 비교하였다. 그리고 측정된 마찰계수를 이용하여 마찰면진장치를 설계하였다. 마찰면진장치의 성능은 교량의 비선형 시간이력 해석을 통해 확인하였고, 이를 통해 마찰면진장치의 마찰재료로 PTFE를 대체하여 PVDF/MgO를 사용하는 것에 대한 타당성을 평가하였다.

Sixty-nine patients with various types of cyanotic congenital heart disease underwent systemic-pulmonary artery shunts with a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] prosthesis between 1979 and 1985. Their ages ranged from 2 months to 39 years [mean$\pm$SD: 5.2$\pm$7.4, median: 3.3 years]. Diagnosis included the following: Tetralogy of Fallot, 45: Double outlet right or left ventricle, 11: Single ventricle, .5: Transposition of great vessels, 4: Tricuspid atresia, 3 and Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, 1. Forty-eight patients had subclavian-pulmonary artery anastomosis, 12 patients aorta-right pulmonary artery anastomosis, 6 patients aorta-main pulmonary artery anastomosis, and 3 patients descending aorta-pulmonary artery anastomosis. The PTEE graft of 3 mm in diameter was used in 1, 4 mm in 29, 5 mm in 35 and 6 mm in 4 patients. Ten patients were died within 30 days after operation [mortality rate: 14.5%]. Among them, 6 patients were operated in urgency due to cardiac arrest or severe anoxic spell after cardiac catheterization, and so surgical mortality of elective operation is 9.5%. The 59 survivors showed improvement of the arterial oxygen saturation [65.4% - 9.8%] and hemoglobin [18.8 gm/dl - 16.0 gm/dl] values [V<0.01]. The follow up period ranged from 1 month to 67 months, [752 patient-months] and during this periods there were 4 late shunt failures after 3 months postoperatively with 4 mm graft, and 2 with 5 mm graft. The over-all patency rate of 4 mm PTFE was 85.9$\pm$9.2% [SEM] in 12 months and 40.9$\pm$22.5% in 24 months. The over-all patency rate of 5 mm PTFE was 87.5$\pm$9.6% in 12 months and 58.3$\pm$24.6% in 36 months. The lowest systolic pressure in death group was 64.9$\pm$15.0 mmHg and in survival group, 86.4$\pm$12.1 mmHg [P<0.001]. We think that the PTFE graft is useful in palliative shunt operation, but the effectiveness of the 4 mm PTFE graft may be limited. The blood pressure also may play an important role in patency of Prosthesis.

We demonstrated the applicability of dry film photoresist (DFR) in photolithography process for fine pitch solder bumping on the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE/Teflon) printed circuit board (PCB). The copper lines were formed with $100\;{\mu}m$ width and $18\;{\mu}m$ thickness on the PTFE test board, and varying the gaps between two copper lines in a range of $100-200\;{\mu}m$. The DFRs of $15\;{\mu}m$ thickness were laminated by hot roll laminator, by varying laminating temperature from $100^{\circ}C\;to\;150^{\circ}C$ and laminating speed. We found the optimum process of DFR lamination on PTFE PCB and accomplished the formation of indium solder bumps. The optimum lamination condition was temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ and speed of about 0.63 cm/s. And the smallest size of indium solder bump was diameter of $50\;{\mu}m$ with pitch of $100\;{\mu}m$.

The critical currents of sintered $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.5+\delta}$ were measured as the variables with the corrosive time in the humid air. The corrosive process was studied by means of the current changes. Ag coating on the textured YBCO and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the sintered YBCO were prepared. The critical current densities of different YBCO samples with and without coatings were compared. Both Ag coating and PTFE coating can well protect YBCO from moisture and $CO_{2}$.

The surface characteristics and performance of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) hollow fiber membranes have been systematically investigated at lab- and pilot-scale to assess their application to membrane-bioreactor, particularly for integrating wastewater reclamation and rainwater harvesting. The PTFE membrane expressed some surface features, such as hydrophobicity, which might enhance membrane fouling. However, lab-scale performance and cleaning experiments under various conditions demonstrated that the PTFE membrane could produce the desirable water flux with good cleaning efficiency, implying easy operation and maintenance due to superior chemical resistance of PTFE membranes. Most of effluent water qualities were met with Korean standard for discharge and reuse, except color. Color level was further reduced by blending with rainwater at 75:25 ratio. Based on the lab-scale experimental results, the pilot plant was designed and operated. Pilot operation clearly showed sTable performance with satisfactory water quality, suggesting that PTFE membrane could be applied for decentralized MBR integrated with rainwater use.
