Surfaces of PTFE and PVDF were modified by ion-assisted reaction (IAR) in which 1 keV $Ar^{+}$ ions were irradiated on the surface of the polymer with varying ion dose in an oxygen gas environment, and Cu, Pt, Al and Ag thin films were deposited on the modified polymers. Wettability of the modified polymers was largely improved by the formation of hydrophilic groups due to chemical reaction between polymer surface and the oxygen gas during IAR. The change in wettability in the modified polymers was also related to the change in surface morphology and roughness. Adhesion between metal films and polymers modified by IAR was significantly improved, so that no detachment was possible in the $Scotch^{TM}$ tape test. The increase of adhesion strength between the metal film and the modified PVDF was mainly attributed to the formation of hydrophilic groups, which interacted with the metal film. In the case of the modified PTFE, the enhanced adhesion to metal film could be explained by the change in surface morphology together with the formation of hydrophilic groups. The electrical properties of the metal films on the modified polymers were also investigated.

PURPOSE. This study incorporated the nanomaterial, nanostructured silver vanadate decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgVO₃), into heat-cured resin (HT) at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10% and compared the adhesion of multispecies biofilms, surface characteristics, and mechanical properties with conventional heat-cured (HT 0%) and printed resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS. AgVO₃ was incorporated in mass into HT powder. A denture base resin was used to obtain printed samples. Adhesion of a multispecies biofilm of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Streptococcus mutans was evaluated by colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) and metabolic activity. Wettability, roughness, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to assess the physical characteristics of the surface. The mechanical properties of flexural strength and elastic modulus were tested. RESULTS. HT 10%-AgVO₃ showed efficacy against S. mutans; however, it favored C. albicans CFU/mL (P < .05). The printed resin showed a higher metabolically active biofilm than HT 0% (P < .05). There was no difference in wettability or roughness between groups (P > .05). Irregularities on the printed resin surface and pores in HT 5%-AgVO₃ were observed by SEM. HT 0% showed the highest flexural strength, and the resins incorporated with AgVO₃ had the highest elastic modulus (P < .05). CONCLUSION. The incorporation of 10% AgVO₃ into heat-cured resin provided antimicrobial activity against S. mutans in a multispecies biofilm did not affect the roughness or wettability but reduced flexural strength and increased elastic modulus. Printed resin showed higher irregularity, an active biofilm, and lower flexural strength and elastic modulus than heat-cured resin.

유리섬유 강화 CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료의 계면특성은 미세역학적 시험법과 젖음성 측정을 통하여 평가하였다. CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료의 접촉저항은 전기적 접촉부가 일정하게 점차적으로 증가하는 경사형 (gradient) 시편으로 측정되었다. CNT-에폭시나노복합재료의 접촉저항은 2-점법 대신에 4-점법을 사용하여 평가하였다. 불균일한 표면에 존재하는 소수성 영역 때문에 CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료의 어떤 부분은 초소수성보다는 다소 낮은 접촉각인 120도를 가졌다. 표면처리된 유리섬유는 에칭된 섬유 표면의 흠이 있지만 인장 강성도는 약간의 변화가 나타나는 반면에, 인장강도는 현저하게 감소하였다. 에칭된 유리섬유와 CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료는 표면 에너지와 거친 정도가 증가함으로써, 계면전단강도가 증가되었다 열역학적 에너지 일인 $W_a$가 증가함에 따라, 기계적 계면전단강도와 겉보기 강성도 모두 상호일치하게 증가를 보여주었다.

Micromechanical 시험법과 표면 젖음성 측정을 이용한 implant용 생분해성 복합재료의 계면물성과 미세파괴 분해 메카니즘을 연구하였다. 분해시간이 경과함에 따라서 poly(ester-amide) (PEA)와 생활성 유리섬유의 인장강도와 탄성률 그리고 신율은 점차적으로 감소하는 경향을 보인 반면, chitosan 섬유는 거의 변화가 없었다. 생활성 유리섬유와 poly-L-lactide(PLLA) 사이의 계면전단강도는 PEA나 chitosan 섬유 시스템의 경우보다 더 큰 값을 보였으나, 계면전단강도 감소 속도는 가장 빨랐고 chitosan 섬유의 경우가 가장 느린 결과를 보였다. 접착일 ($W_a$)은 생활성 유리섬유와 PLLA 사이에서 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, 이러한 표면 젖음성 결과는 계면전단강도 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 계면물성과 미세파괴 분해 메카니즘은 생분해성 복합재료의 성능을 조절할 수 있는 가장 중요한 요인들이다.

본 연구에서는 탄소블럭의 고밀도화를 위하여 불소화 표면처리된 코크스와 바인더피치를 압축성형으로 탄소블럭을 제조하였다. 불소화 표면처리 후 코크스 표면에 불소원소는 XPS 분석을 통하여 최대 24.14 at%가 도입된 것을 확인하였다. 불소화된 코크스와 바인더피치의 젖음성을 반응온도에 따라 평가하였다. 접촉각 측정 결과로부터 불소원소가 코크스 표면에 도입될수록 바인더피치와의 젖음성이 약 64.7% 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 불소가 가장 많이 도입된 탄소블럭의 밀도는 미처리된 코크스로부터 제조된 탄소블럭의 밀도 대비 최대 6.8% 증가하였다.

The main objective of this study is to present a fast and reliable approach to predict the swelling potential of clay-bearing rocks. Investigations showed that there is a good correlation between the swelling potential of a rock and its desire to absorb water due to its clay content which could be measured using the "Contact Angle" test as one of the most common ways to determine the wettability. In this test, the angle between a water drop and the flat rock surface on which it rests is measured. The present method is very fast and returns repeatable results and requires minimal sample preparation. Only having a saw-cut surface of a sample with any shape is all one needs to perform this test. The logic behind this approach is that the swelling potential of a rock is a function of its mineral content and molecular structure, which are not only distributed in the bulk of the sample but also reflected on its surface. Therefore, to evaluate swelling behavior, it is not necessary to wait for a sample to get wet all the way to its "internal structure" (which, due to the low permeability of clay-bearing rocks, is very slow and time-consuming). Instead, one can have a good sense of swelling potential by studying its surface. Parametric studies on the effect of moisture content, porosity, and surface roughness on the contact angle measurements showed that using a saw-cut oven-dried sample is a convenient way to evaluate the swelling potential by this method.

In-plane shear tests were performed to investigate the shear property change of FRP by plasma modification. Graphite/epoxy prepreg was used as a test material and plasma source was a microwave (2.4GHz) type. Plasma was induced by oxygen gas and its flow rate was kept $4{\sim}5$sccm with low vacuum state of $10^{-3}$ Torr. Prepreg was stacked unidirectionally ($[0^0]_8$) after plasma modification. Wettability was determined by measuring a contact angle. The results showed that the contact angle was decreased from $86^0$ to $45^0$ after plasma modification. Shear strength was also improved by ${\sim}10%$. SEM examination was made on the fracture surface and functional group produced by the plasma modification was investigated by XPS.

The wettabilities of the partially fluorinated polymers (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), ethylenechlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE), and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)) were investigated by contact angle measurements. Zisman plots for ETFE and ECTFE exhibited linear relationships, while the Zisman plot for PVDF showed a slight curvature, which was interpreted to indicate strong non-dispersive interactions between the surface and the contacting liquids. The Lifshitz-van der Waals forces of the fluoropolymers were estimated to increase in the order of ETFE < PVDF $\ll$ ECTFE. An evaluation of the polar or "acid-base" interaction energies showed that PVDF, which possesses the most acidic hydrogens among the examined fluoropolymers, has the strongest acid-base interactions.

A simple method for fabricating micro/nanoscale hierarchical structures is presented using a two-step temperature-directed capillary molding technique. This lithographic method involves a sequential application of molding process in which a uniform polymer-coated surface is molded with a patterned mold by means of capillary force above the glass transition temperature of the polymer. Using this approach, multiscale hierarchical structures for biomimetic functional surfaces can be fabricated with precise control over geometrical parameters and the wettability of a solid surface can be designed in a controllable manner.

The characteristic of synthesized potassium hexatitanate and manufacturing of thin film type matrix for battery was studied. After ball milled the mixture with 1:4 of $K_2CO_3$ and TiO2, mixsture was sintered at 85$0^{\circ}C$ and its product was confirmed with XRD. Adding the PTFE to the obtained potassium hexatitanate according to there various ball-mill time to control its particle size, thin film type matrix was manufactured. The high-est wettability of 50% was found with 12 hour ball milled powder containing 10w/o of PTFE and also it shown good mechanical properties. The matrix with $K_2O$$\cdot$$6TiO_2$ whisker shown 170% of wettability. Thed char-acteristics of matrix made by whisker and powder mixture were compared with the investigation of bubbled pressure and pore size distribution to improve its mechanical properties.
