Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is difficult to achieve sufficient adhesion because of weak bonding between DLC film and the substrate. The purpose of this study is to improve the adhesion between substrate and DLC film. DLC film was deposited on AISI H13 using linear ion source. To improve adhesion, the substrate was treated by dual post plasma nitriding. In order to define the mechanism of the improvement in adhesive strength, the gradient layer between substrate and DLC film was analyzed by Glow Discharge Spectrometer (GDS) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The microstructure of the DLC film was analyzed using a micro Raman spectrometer. Mechanical properties were measured by nano-indentation, micro vickers hardness tester and tribology tester. The characteristic of adhesion was observed by scratch test. The adhesion of the DLC film was enhanced by active screen plasma nitriding layer.

The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has reached 23.3%. Although significant developments have been made through intensive studies, the stability issue is still challenging. Passivation of perovskite solar cells with a transparent polymer provides better stability; however, there are a few disadvantages of organic polymer such as low thermal stability, weak adhesion and the lack of water retention ability. In this work, we prepared a dual Parylene-F/C layer with 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, A-174, to combine the advantages of organic and inorganic materials. As a result, A-174 treated dual Parylene-F/C layer demonstrated improved passivation effects compared to a single Parylene layer due to the strong binding of Parylene and the water retention ability by $SiO_2$ formed from A-174. This synergetic effects can be expanded to the combination of other organic materials and organosilane compounds.

Water mass distribution and currents were investigated off the east coast of Korea near the Hupo Bank using the CTD and ADCP data from June to August 2010. The typical water masses were: (1) Tsushima Surface Water (TSW) from the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC) in the surface layer, (2) a shallow thermocline at 20-30 m depth, (3) Tsushima Middle Water (TMW) of high salinity (>34.2) below the pycnocline, (4) North Korean Cold Water (NKCW) of low salinity (<34.05) and low temperature (<4°C) in the lower layer. In June, a double eddy was observed in which a cold filament intruded cyclonically from the south around a pre-existing cold-core eddy. A burst of strong southward current was recorded in mid-August due to a warm filament from the meandering EKWC. Current in the N-S direction was predominant due to topographic effects, and the direction of the northward EKWC was frequently reversed in its direction due to the eddy-filament activity, whereas the influence of the wind was not noticeable. The vertical structure of the current was of a two-layer system, with the northward EKWC in the upper layer and weak southward flows corresponding to the North Korean Cold Current (NKCC) in the deeper layer.

We present an experimental investigation of the superconducting transition temperatures, $T_c$, of superconductor/ferromagnet bilayers with varying the thickness of ferromagnetic layer. FeN was used for the ferromagnetic (F) layer, and NbN and Nb were used for the superconducting (S) layer. The results were obtained using three different-thickness series of the S layer of the S/F bilayers: NbN/FeN with NbN thickness, $d_{NbN}{\approx}9.3nm$ and $d_{NbN}{\approx}10nm$, and Nb/FeN with Nb thickness $d_{Nb}{\approx}15nm$. $T_c$ drops sharply with increasing thickness of the ferromagnetic layer, $d_{FeN}$, before maximal suppression of superconductivity at $d_{FeN}{\approx}6.3nm$ for $d_{NbN}{\approx}10nm$ and at $d_{FeN}{\approx}2.5nm$ for $d_{Nb}{\approx}15nm$, respectively. After shallow minimum of $T_c$, a weak $T_c$ oscillation was observed in NbN/FeN bilayers, but it was hardly observable in Nb/FeN bilayers.

Enormous apartment complexes in urban areas, temporary inversion state and heat island effect occur due to the strong sunshine and weak wind speeds which hinders the dispersion of air pollutants that are emitted from neighboring areas of apartment complexes. In this study, analysis were conducted by using the Fluent code based on the CFD(Computation Fluid Dynamics), including building layout, material, building height from the ground surface, the heat, analysis of flow field in the apartment complex. It was estimated that the temporal radiation inversion phenomenon during the daytime, which was caused by the weak wind speed and higher temperatures in the upper level, contributed to the stagnation of the air pollutants in the lower layer of the apartment complex.

본 연구는 polyethyleneimine(PEI)을 이용하여 음이온계 레진에 비 고정화 효소인 lipase AH(Burkholderia cepacia)를 고정화한 후 효소적 interesterification을 통해 고정화 효소의 반응 특성을 확인하고자 하였다. 효소적 interesterification에 canola oil, palmitic ethyl ester와 stearic ethyl ester를 기질로 사용하였으며 합성물의 TAG 조성 분석을 통해 특성 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 두 가지 고정화방법(multi layer, mono layer)으로 고정화를 진행하였으며 사용된 lipase solution의 농도와 pH를 달리하여 실시하였다. 먼저 효소와 support 간의 친화력을 확인하기 위하여 단백질 함량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 고정화에 사용된 lipase solution의 농도가 8 mg/mL일 때 친화력이 좋았으며 MUIM의 경우 pH 7.5에서, MOIM의 경우 pH 8.0에서 고정화 효율이 가장 좋았다. 또한 고정화 효소의 활성을 확인하기 위하여 interesterification을 진행하였고 TAG와 sn-2 position 분석을 통하여 활성을 비교하였다. 이러한 결과를 참고하여 가장 친화력이 좋았던 조건에서 고정화를 진행하였다. 그 결과 MUIM의 경우 total saturated fatty acid(${\Sigma}SFA$)의 함량이 16.79 area%였으며 MOIM의 경우는 ${\Sigma}SFA$의 함량이 26.17 area%로 나타났다. 반면에 sn-2 position 분석결과 MUIM과 MOIM 모두 palmitic acid와 stearic acid의 함량이 증가한 경향을 나타내었는데, 이는 기존의 sn-1, 3 특이성을 가지는 lipase AH가 고정화를 통해 무작위 특이성으로 변화한 것으로 생각되었다. 또한 RP-HPLC를 이용하여 TAG의 조성을 확인한 결과, 기질은 canola oil이 주로 OOO와 LOO로 조성되었으나 고정화 효소의 interesterification 반응 후 합성물은 주로 POO/SLO, LPO/LOP와 SOO, SOS 등으로 이루어진 것으로 확인되었다. 위와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 최종 생산된 MUIM과 MOIM을 이용하여 interesterification 반응을 온도, 시간을 달리하여 진행하였다. 전체적으로 MOIM의 활성이 가장 높았으며 lipase AH, MOIM과 MUIM 모두 반응시간이 증가할수록 ${\Sigma}SFA$의 함량은 증가하였으나 12시간 이후로는 시간대비 효율은 크게 증가하지 않았다. 또한 시간이 증가함에 따라 sn-2 position의 ${\Sigma}SFA$ 함량이 높아졌다. 한편 반응온도가 높을수록 ${\Sigma}SFA$의 함량도 증가하였는데, 이는 상온인 $25^{\circ}C$보다 높은 melting point를 가지는 stearic ethyl ester와 palmitic ethyl ester가 semi solid 형태로 존재하여 활성이 저해된 것으로 생각된다. 또한 lipase AH는 재사용이 불가능하였지만 고정화 효소인 MUIM과 MOIM은 5번을 재사용하여도 그 효소의 활성이 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 음이온계 레진에 PEI를 이용하여 lipase AH를 고정화하였을 경우 비 고정화 효소인 lipase AH보다 MUIM과 MOIM의 활성이 더 높아 산업적으로 이용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

In this paper, we investigated the effects of short-term oxygen plasma treatment of semiconducting silicone layer to improve interfacial performances in joints prepared with a insulating silicone materials. Surface characterizations were assessed using contact angle measurement and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and then adhesion level and electrical performance were evaluated through T-peel tests and electrical breakdown voltage tests of treated semi-conductive and insulating joints. Plasma exposure mainly increased the polar component of surface energy from $0.21\;dyne/cm^2$ to $47\;dyne/cm^2$ with increasing plasma treatment time and then leveled off. Based on XPS analysis, the surface modification can be mainly ascribed to the creation of chemically active functional groups such as C-O, C=O and COH on semi-conductive silicone surface. This oxidized rubber layer is inorganic silica-like structure of Si bound with three to four oxygen atoms ($SiO_x,\;x=3{\sim}4$). The oxygen plasma treatment produces an increase in joint strength that is maximum for 10 min treatment. However, due to brittle property of this oxidized layer, the highly oxidized layer from too much extended treatment could be act as a weak point, decreasing the adhesion strength. In addition, electrical breakdown level of joints with adequate plasma treatment was increased by about $10\;\%$ with model samples of joints prepared with a semi-conducting/ insulating silicone polymer after applied to interface.

In this work, the effects of plasma treatment on surface properties of semiconductive silicone rubber were investigated in terms of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angles, The adhesion characteristics of semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber were studied by measuring the T-peel strengths, The results of the chemical analysis showed that C-H bonds were broken due to plasma discharge and Silica-like bonds(SiOx, x=3${\~}$4) increased, It is thought that semiconductive silicone rubber surfaces treated with plasma discharge led to an increase in oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting in improving the degree of adhesion of the semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber. However, the oxygen plama for 20 minute produces a damaged oxidized semiconductive silicone rubber layer, which acts as a weak layer producing a decrease in T-peel strength, These results are probably due to the modifications of surface functional groups or polar component of surface free energy of the semiconductive silicone rubber.

A shock-wave in a supersonic flow can be theoretically determined by a given pressure ratio at upstream and downstream flowfields, and then the obtained shock-wave is stable in its position. Under the practical situation in which the shock-wave interacts with the boundary layer along a solid wall, it cannot, however, be stable even for the given pressure ratio being independent of time and oscillates around a time-mean position. In the present study, oscillations of a weak normal shock-wave in a supersonic diffuser were measured by a Line Image Sensor(LIS), and they were compared with the data of the wall pressure fluctuations at the foot of the shock-wave interacting with the wall boundary layer. LIS was incorporated into a conventional schlieren optical system and its signal, instantaneous displacement of the interacting shock-wave, was analyzed by a statistical method. The results show that the displacement of an oscillating shock-wave increase with the upstream Mach number and the dominant frequency components of the oscillating shock-wave are below 200 Hz. Measurements indicated that shock-wave oscillations may not entirely be caused by the boundary layer separation. The statistical properties of oscillations appeared, however, to be significantly affected by shock-induced separation of turbulent boundary layer.
