The reactive wetting behaviors of molten Zn-Al-Mg alloys on MnO- and amorphous (a-) $SiO_2$-covered steel sheets were investigated by the sessile drop method, as a function of the Al and Mg contents in the alloys. The sessile drop tests were carried out at $460^{\circ}C$ and the variation in the contact angles (${\theta}_c$) of alloys containing 0.2-2.5 wt% Al and 0-3.0 wt% Mg was monitored for 20 s. For all the alloys, the MnO-covered steel substrate exhibited reactive wetting whereas the $a-SiO_2$-covered steel exhibited nonreactive, nonwetting (${\theta}_c>90^{\circ}$) behavior. The MnO layer was rapidly removed by Al and Mg contained in the alloys. The wetting of the MnO-covered steel sheet significantly improved upon increasing the Mg content but decreased upon increasing the Al content, indicating that the surface tension of the alloy droplet is the main factor controlling its wettability. Although the reactions of Al and Mg in molten alloys with the $a-SiO_2$ layer were found to be sluggish, the wettability of Zn-Al-Mg alloys on the $a-SiO_2$ layer improved upon increasing the Al and Mg contents. These results suggest that the wetting of advanced high-strength steel sheets, the surface oxide layer of which consists of a mixture of MnO and $SiO_2$, with Zn-Al-Mg alloys could be most effectively improved by increasing the Mg content of the alloys.

The nanofluidics is characterized by a large surface-to-volume ratio, so that the surface properties strongly affect the flow resistance. We present here the results showing that the effect of wetting properties and the surface roughness may considerably reduce the friction of fluid past the boundaries. For a simple fluid flowing over hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces, the influences of surface roughness are investigated by the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. The fluid slip at near a solid surface highly depends on the wall-fluid interaction. For hydrophobic surfaces, apparent fluid slips are observed on smooth and rough surfaces. The solid wall is modeled as a rough atomic sinusoidal wall. The effects on the boundary condition of the roughness characteristics are given by the period and amplitude of the sinusoidal wall. It was found that the slip velocity for wetting conditions at interface decreases with increasing effects of surface roughness. The results show the surface rougheness and wettability determines the slip or no-slip boundary conditions. The surface roughness geometry shows significant effects on the boundary conditions at the interface.

얕은사면 파괴는 지표로 침투하는 강우에 의해 주로 발생한다. 이는 지표수의 침투시 모관흡수력의 감소에 의한 포화깊이 증가에 의해 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 전형적인 화강풍화토를 대상으로 강우시 사면에서의 습윤영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 filter paper와 tensiometer 실험을 수행하여 함수특성곡선을 산정하였으며, 그에 따른 함수특성곡선의 방정식을 추정하였으며, 기존에 사용되고 있는 Green & Ampt의 포화 깊이 추정식과 수치해석결과를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, Green & Ampt모델에 의한 이론 해는 포화깊이를 과소 추정하였으며, 포화깊이가 증가함에 따라 사면안전율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 포화깊이가 약 1.2m이상부터 사면안전율은 현저하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

국내 풍화사면에서의 표면파괴는 주로 강우에 의한 침투로 인하여 발생한다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 파괴는 표면토사부에 강우로 인한 하향 침투수에 흡수력의 감소와 습윤대의 증가에 의하여 야기된다. 따라서 국내에 흔히 존재하는 편마계열 풍화사면토를 대상으로 강우로 인한 습윤 경로 및 그 추이를 현상학적인 접근법으로 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 풍화토를 대상으로 습윤 함수특성곡선에 대한 실내실험을 수행하고 결과를 활용하여 강우시 불포화 사면안정해석을 실시하였다. 기존 문헌의 자료에서 현장의 함수특성이 실내시험에서의 습윤경로에서 잘 반영하고 있어 상계 조건으로 실내시험에서 구한 습윤경로 함수특성곡선을 사면해석에 활용하는 것도 합리적임을 알 수 있다.

수지 이동 성형공정에서 섬유직조가 수지에 의해 함침될 때 발생하는 기공 또는 나쁜 젖음성은 최종 성형품의 물성 저하에 심각한 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 수지이동 성형공정에서의 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 기초 데이터를 제공하기 위하여, 실란 커플링제를 사용한 섬유의 표면 개질이 수지의 유동특성과 수지와 섬유 사이의 젖음성 및 기공함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 빔 형태의 금형을 대상으로 에폭시 수지와 평직형태의 유리섬유를 사용하여 미시적인 유동가시화 실험 및 경화실험을 수행하였다. 섬유의 표면을 개질함으로써 수지와 섬유 사이의 동적 접촉각이 감소하고 위킹속도는 증가한 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과로부터 본 연구에서 사용한 화학적 표면개질이 섬유직조의 젖음성 및 미시적 흐름 거동을 향상시킬 수 있는 중요한 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 수지의 높은 온도와 낮은 침투 속도는 동적 접촉각을 감소시키기 위한 중요한 가공 변수임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 섬유직조의 투과성은 표면을 개질하였을 경우 오히려 감소하였는데, 이는 젖음성의 향상으로 인하여 수지와 섬유 사이의 접촉시간의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 마지막으로 경화공정을 통해 제조된 시편의 기공 함량을 측정 비교한 결과, 표면개질은 수지이동 성형공정에서의 기공형성에도 중요한 변수로 작용하여, 수지와 섬유 사이의 젖음성을 향상시키고, 최종 성형품의 기공함량을 감소시킴을 확인할 수 있었다.

The surface oxidation mechanism of lead-free solder alloys has been investigated with multiple reflow using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the solder surface of Sn-Ag-Cu-In solder alloy is surrounded by a thin $InO_x$ layer after reflow process; this coating protects the metallic surface from thermal oxidation. Based on this result, we have performed a wetting balance test at various temperatures. The Sn-Ag-Cu-In solder alloy shows characteristics of both thermal oxidation and wetting balance better than those of Sn-Ag-Cu solder alloy. Therefore, Sn-Ag-Cu-In solder alloy is a good candidate to solve the two problems of easy oxidation and low wettability, which are the most critical problems of Pb-free solders.

Using conventional deposition techniques, we demonstrate a method to fabricate ultra-smooth 10 nm silver films without using a wetting layer or co-depositing another material. The argon working pressure plays a crucial role in achieving an excellent surface flatness for silver films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on an InP substrate. The formation of ultra-smooth silver thin films is very sensitive to the argon pressure. At the optimum deposition condition, a uniform silver film with an rms surface roughness of 0.81 nm has been achieved.

Water resistance of three biopolyester films, such as poly-L-lactate (PLA), poly-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV), and Ecoflex, and low density polyethylene (LDPE) film was investigated by measuring contact angle of various probe liquids on the films. The properties measured were initial contact angle of water, dynamic change of the water contact angle with time, and the critical surface energy of the films. Water contact angle of the biopolyester films ($57.62-68.76^{\circ}$) was lower than that of LDPE film ($85.19^{\circ}$) indicating biopolyester films are less hydrophobic. The result of dynamic change of water contact angle also showed that the biopolyester films are less water resistant than LDPE film, but much more water resistant than cellulose-based packaging materials. Apparent critical surface energy for the biopolyester films (35.15-38.55 mN/m) was higher than that of LDPE film (28.59 mN/m) indicating LDPE film is more hydrophobic.

The discharge of oily wastewater into water bodies and soil poses a serious hazard to the environment and public health. Various conventional techniques have been employed to treat oil-water mixtures and emulsions; Unfortunately, these approaches are frequently expensive, time-consuming, and unsatisfactory outcomes. Porous materials and adsorbents are commonly used for purification, but their use is limited by low separation efficiencies and the risk of secondary contamination. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have driven the development of innovative materials and technologies for oil-contaminated wastewater treatment. Nanomaterials can offer enhanced oil-water separation properties due to their high surface area and tunable surface chemistry. The fabrication of nanofiber membranes with precise pore sizes and surface properties can further improve separation efficiency. Notably, novel technologies have emerged utilizing nanomaterials with special surface wetting properties, such as superhydrophobicity, to selectively separate oil from oil-water mixtures or emulsions. These special wetting surfaces are promising for high-efficiency oil separation in emulsions and allow the use of materials with relatively large pores, enhancing throughput and separation efficiency. In this study, we introduce a facile and scalable method for fabrication of superhydrophobic-superoleophilic felt fabrics for oil/water mixture and emulsion separation. AlN nanopowders are hydrolyzed to create the desired microstructures, which firmly adhere to the fabric surface without the need for a binder resin, enabling specialized wetting properties. This approach is applicable regardless of the material's size and shape, enabling efficient separation of oil and water from oil-water mixtures and emulsions. The oil-water separation materials proposed in this study exhibit low cost, high scalability, and efficiency, demonstrating their potential for broad industrial applications.
