To improve the moisture stability of the $CaS:Eu^{2+}$ red phosphor, surface coatings with silica nanoparticles were performed using five different methods, i.e., $P_1$, $P_2$, $P_3$, $P_4$, and $P_5$. The phosphors were coated with silica nanoparticles using a dip coating method ($P_1$) and sol-gel method ($P_2$). The phosphors were coated using a solution containing silica nanoparticles and poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), PVP, $(P_3$). The phosphors were also coated with silica nanoparticles by reacting with the 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (VP) monomer ($P_4$) or by reacting with mixtures containing VP and tetraethylorthosilicate ($P_5$). A decrease in the photoluminescence (PL) intensity was observed regardless of the coating methods. However, the moisture stability of the phosphors was enhanced by the coating when aged in a temperature-controlled humidity chamber. Among these methods, the $P_4$ (or $P_5$) method exhibited the greatest increase in moisture stability of the phosphors. The coated phosphors showed a relatively constant intensity with aging time, whereas the uncoated phosphor showed a decrease.

Solution processed conjugated molecules enable to manufacture various electronic devices by unconventional and cost effective patterning methods as screen or gravure printing. Spin-coating is the most popularly used method to form conjugated polymeric film for various electronic devices. The coating method has certain disadvantages such as a large amount of unwanted wastes, difficulty forming a film with a large area, and impossible to apply roll-to-roll manufacturing. We present here a promising alternative coating method, bar-coating for conjugated polymer film and OLED with the bar coated light emitting layer. In this papers, we show atomic force microscope images of spin- and bar-coated Poly[(9,9-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-alt-(benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazol-4,8-diyl)] (F8BT) films on substrate. The bar-coated film showed a slight lower RMS roughness (1.058 [nm]) than spin-coated film (1.767 [nm]). It means the bar-coating is suitable method to form light emitting layers in OLEDs. By using bar-coating process, an OLED obtained with 4.7 [cd/A] in maximum current efficiency.

Nanofiltration composite membranes were prepared through the ion exchange polymers coating onto the porous microfiltration polyethylene (PE) membrane surfaces the salting-out and phase separated and pressurization (PSP) methods. The existence of coating on the surfaces was confirmed by the scanning electronic microscopy. The resulting membranes were characterized under the various conditions, such as the coating material, coating time, ionic strength etc., in terms of flux and rejection for NaCl 100 ppm solution. Under the same coating conditions of 10,000 ppm coating solution concentration and 3 atm coating pressure for both the coating materials of PEI and PSSA_MA, the flux 91.2 LMH and rejection 64.6% were obtained for PEI whereas 122.7 LMH and 38.1% were observed for PSSA_MA. From this study, it may be concluded that the composite membrane preparation is possible.

$TiO_2$ hydrate coating on mica in an aqueous solution of $TiOSO_4$ by the hydrolysis using ammonia water studied with emphasis on coating conditions for a uniform coating. For the uniform coating of $TiO_2$ film on mica surface, it was found that smaller mica particles were coated more uniformly compared to larger particles. It was necessary to suppress the rate of formation of hydrated $TiO_2$ particles in solution, which were deposited on mica and generate irregular coating. It was also necessary to control precipitation yield by varying the reaction temperature to obtain uniform coating. More uniform coating was obtained with higher precipitation yield. A uniform dense film was formed when mica particles of average size of $14.7{\mu}m$ is used for mica slurry solution, of which pH is 2.5, and the factor of acidity of $TiOSO_4$ solution is 291, and the solution was kept at $80^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The morphology of $TiO_2$ film formed on mica was little affected by firing at $900^{\circ}C$.

In order to improve the surface hardness of transparent plastic films, organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The coating solutions were prepared by adding GPTMS (glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane) to a colloidal silica (12 nm) suspension. PC(polycarbonate) substrates were dipped into the coating solutions and dried at room temperature for 10 min before being cured at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The effect of the solution pH and GPTMS content was investigated on the properties of coating films. The pencil hardness and adhesion to substrates of the coating films, prepared at acidic condition (pH 4), showed better properties than those at neutral or basic conditions. Also, the pencil hardness and adhesion to substrates of the coating films increased with increasing GPTMS content.

The perovskite solar cell is a next-generation solar cell that replaces the existing silicon solar cell. It is a solar cell device using an organic-inorganic hybrid material having a perovskite structure as a photoactive layer. It has advantages for the process and has shown rapid efficiency improvement over the past decade. In the process of commercialization of such perovskite solar cells, research and development for a large-area coating method should be carried out. As one of the large-area perovskite solar cell large-area coating methods, the slot-die coating method was studied. By using a meniscus to pass over the substrate and coating the solution, the 3D printer was equipped with a meniscus so that it could be coated. Variables that act during coating include bed temperature, coating speed, N₂ blowing interval, N₂ blowing height, N₂ blowing intensity, etc. By controlling these, the perovskite absorption layer was manufactured and the coating conditions for manufacturing large-area devices were optimized.

By introducing spin-coating method to the evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) process, a simple and reproducible route in controlling the mesophase of silica thin films has been developed for the first time in this work. When a comparatively solvent-rich Si-sol (The atomic ratio of TEOS : F127 : HCl : $H_2O$ : EtOH = 1 : 0.006 : 0.2 : 9.2 : 30) was used as coating solution, the mesophase of resultant silica films was selectively controlled by adjusting the spin-on speed. The cubic mesophase has been obtained from the coating at a low rpm, such as 600 rpm, while the 2-D hexagonal mesophase is formed at a high rpm, such as 2,500 rpm. At a medium coating speed, a mixture of cubic and hexagonal mesophase has been found in the fabricated films. The present results confirm that the evaporation rate of volatile components at initial step is critical for the determination of mesopore structures during the EISA process.

A method of preparation of synthetic ignorgaic coating on copper (patina) has been presented . An Eh--pH diagram was constructed for the present Cu-H2O-SO$_4$ system using the most recently available thermodynamic data. In the path of the patination at room temperature the general behaviour of copper in acidic copper sulfate solutions with potassium chlorate as an oxidizing agent appeared to follow those predictable in this Eh-pH diagram. In the presence 0.05 molar cupric sulfate at a temperature of about 28$^{\circ}C$ a green brochantite (CuSO$_4$$.$3Cu(OH)$_2$) layer was formed on copper sheet in 20 days. In a solution having an initial pH of 3.5 the development of a brochantite coating has been observed to take place in two stages. In the first, a layer of cuprous oxide formed on the copper at a relatively rapid rate. In the ensuing step the outer layer of cuptrite was oxidized at much slower rate to form brochantite. The syntetic coatings appeared to consist of crystal-lites of brochanitite growing perpendicular to the cuprose oxide surface. The outer tips of the -crystallites were reasily broken off and gave to the layer a rather chalky character. Underneath, at the brochantite Cu$_2$O interface, however, the green layers were firmely attached. The effect of reagent concentration , solution agitation , and moderate temperature increase were investigated to improve the quality of coating. So also in a qualitative way were the effect of light.

This study was performed to develop an antibacterial film that can be dried at room temperature. A nanosized TiO$_2$ particle-dispersed solution was prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of peroxo-titanic acid at 160${^{\circ}C}$ for 4h. The binder was synthesized through the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of TEOS (10cc) and GPTS (3.5cc) in the mixture of H$_2$O (30cc) and EtOH (30cc). The synthesized binder was mixed with 0.1 M of TiO$_2$ solution in a volume ratio of binder/TiO$_2$ solution=0.25~0.5. The glass substrate was coated after using the dip coating method, which was then followed by drying for over 2h at room temperature. Although the TiO$_2$ particles did not chemically-bond to the binder, the coating layer strongly adhered to the substrate and displayed good antibacterial properties.
