Inhibition of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection by 4 surfactants, sodium salts of alpha olefin (AOS), linear alkylbenzene (LAS), dioctyl sulfosuccinate (OSS), and dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (SAS), was examined on tobacco cv. Xanthi-nc and NC 82. Infection of virions or TMV RNA was inhibited over 98% by the surfactants (2500 rpm). However, symptom development and viral concentration in tobacco plants treated with the surfactants into the rhizosphere soil 3 days before inoculation with TMV on leaves were not different from those in untreated tobacco plants. This indicates no significant systemic effects of the surfactants on the inhibition of TMV infection. The surfactants, except LAS, had no effect on the inhibition of viral infection when purified virions mixed with each surfactant and ultracentrifuged were inoculated on the tobacco plants. The virus was almost inactivated by LAS, showing that the viral infection was reduced more than 96%. The virus particles treated with the surfactants were not distinguishable in size and dimension from untreated normal particles, suggesting that the inhibitory action of the surfactants to TMV infection may not involve disintergration or uncoating of the virus at the early stage of infection.

Drag reduction produced by dilute solution of water soluble ionic polymer-surfactant complex under turbulent flow in a rotating disk apparatus(RDA) was investigated in this study. Three different molecular weights of polyacrylic acid(PAA) were adopted as drag reducing additives, and distilled water was used as a solvent. Experiments were undertaken to observe the dependence of drag reduction on various factors such as polymer molecular weight, molecular expansions and flexibility, rotating speed of the disk and polymer concentration. Specific considerations were put on conformational difference between surfactant and polymer, and effect of pH on ionic polymer possessing various molecular conformation through pH. The complex of ionic polymer and surfactant(Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) behaves like a large polyelectrolyte. Surfactant changes the polymer conformation and then increases the dimension of the polymer. The radius of gyration, hydrodynamic volume and relative viscosity of the polymer-surfactant system are observed to be greater than those of polymer itself. Such surfactant-polymer complex has enhanced drag reduction properties.

Interfacial evaluation of the untreated and treated Jute and Hemp fibers reinforced different matrix polypropylene-maleic anhydride polypropylene copolymer (PP-MAPP) composites were investigated by micromechanical technique and dynamic contact angle measurement. For the statistical tensile strength of Jute and Hemp fibers, bimodal Weibull distribution was fitted better than the unimodal distribution. The acid-base parameter on the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the natural fiber composites was characterized by calculating the work adhesion, $W_a$. The effect of alkaline, silane coupling agent on natural fibers were obtained with changing MAPP content in PP-MAPP matrices. Alkaline treated fibers made the surface energy to be higher due to removing the weak boundary layers and thus increasing surface area, whereas surface energy of silane treated Jute and Hemp fibers decreased due to blocked high energy sites. MAPP in the PP-MAPP matrix caused the surface energy to increase due to introduced acid-base sites. Microfailure modes of two natural fiber composites were observed clearly differently due to different tensile strength of natural fibers.

In this study, the mixed toxicity of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Hg) and surfactants (SLS, ALS) was evaluated by using Vibrio fischeri and Daphnia magna. The sensitivity of ecotoxicity to heavy metals was sensitive to daphnia but the case of surfactants were more sensitive to Vibrio fischeri. Experimental results of Vibrio fischeri show that the toxicity value P(O) was lower than the predicted value P(E), and the antagonistic effect was observed when the heavy metal and the surfactant were mixed. It seems that SLS and ALS, which are anionic surfactants, have anionic form on the hydrophilic head, so that they have an antagonistic effect that they are bonded with heavy metal ion which is a cation type and the actual toxicity is lowered. In Daphnia magna, the results showed that antagonistic, additive and synergistic effects were in order as concentrations increased. As the concentration increases, Daphnia magna, which is highly sensitive to heavy metals, seems to have a synergistic effect with a rapid increase in mortality.

In this study, the effects of cosurfactant on phase equilibrium and dynamic behavior were studied in systems containing nonylphenol ethoxylate (NP) surfactant solutions and nonpolar hydrocarbon oils. All the cosurfactants used during this study such as n-pentanol, n-octanol and n-decanol acted as a hydrophobic additive and the hydrophobic effect was found to increase with both increases in chain length and amount of addition of a cosurfactant. Dynamic behavior studies under hydrophilic conditions showed that the solubilization of hydrocarbon oil by NP micellar solution is controlled by an interface-controlled mechanism rather than a diffusion-controlled mechanism. Both spontaneous emulsification of water into oil phase and expansion of oil drop were observed under lipophilic conditions because of diffusion of surfactant and water into oil phase. Under conditions of a three phase region including a middle-phase microemulsion, both rapid solubilization and emulsification of oil into aqueous solutions were found mainly due to the existence of ultralow interfacial tension.

In this study, the effect of cosurfactant on the phase equilibrium and dynamic behavior was studied in systems containing NP7 nonionic surfactant solutions and nonpolar hydrocarbon oils. All cosurfactants used during this study such as n-pentanol, n-octanol and n-decanol acted as a hydrophobic additive and thus promoted the transition from an oil in water (O/W) microemulsion (${\mu}E$) in equilibrium with an excess oil phase to a three-phase region containing excess water, excess oil, and a middle-phase microemulsion and further to a water in oil (W/O) ${\mu}E$ in equilibrium with the excess water phase. The transition temperature was found to decrease with both increases in the chain length and amount of addition of a cosurfactant. Dynamic behavior studies under O/W ${\mu}E$ conditions showed that an oil drop size decreased with time due to the solubilization into micelles. On the other hand, both the spontaneous emulsification of water into the oil phase and the expansion of oil drop were observed under W/O ${\mu}E$ conditions because of the diffusion of surfactant and water into the oil phase. Under conditions of a three-phase region including a middle-phase ${\mu}E$, both the rapid solubilization and emulsification of the oil into aqueous solutions were found mainly due to the existence of ultra-low interfacial tension. Dynamic interfacial tension measurements have been found to be in a good agreement with dynamic behavior results.

초박형 절연막은 현재 다양한 전자소자의 제작과 향상을 위하여 활용되고 있으며, 일반적인 화학 기상 증착 방법으로는 균일도를 확보하기 어려운 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 디스플레이의 구동소자로 활용되는 박막 트랜지스터의 특성 향상과 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 터널링 박막에 응용하기 위하여 초박형 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 증착과 이의 특성을 분석하였다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 실리콘 산화막에 질소가 주입되어 있는 형태로 실리콘 산화막과 실리콘 계면상에 존재하는 질소는 터널링 전류와 결함 형성을 감소시키며, bulk 내에 존재하는 질소는 단일 실리콘 산화막에 비해 더 두꺼운 박막을 커패시턴스의 감소없이 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 플라즈마 처리 기법을 이용하였을 경우에는 초박형의 균일한 박막을 얻을 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이산화질소 플라즈마를 이용하여 활성화된 질소 및 산소 라디칼들이 실리콘 계면을 개질하여 초박형 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막을 형성활 수 있다. 플라즈마 처리 시간과 RF power의 변화에 따라 형성된 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 두께 및 광학적 특성은 엘립소미터를 통하여 분석하였으며, 전기적인 특성은 금속-절연막-실리콘의 MIS 구조를 형성하여 커패시턴스-전압 곡선과 전류-전압 곡선을 사용하여 평가하였다. 이산화질소 플라즈마 처리 방법을 사용한 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막을 log-log 스케일로 시간과 박막 두께의 함수로 전환해보면 선형적인 증가를 나타내며, 이는 초기적으로 증착률이 높고 시간이 지남에 따라 두께 증가가 포화상태에 도달함을 확인할 수 있다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 초기적으로 산소의 함유량이 많은 형태의 박막으로 구성되며, 시간의 증가에 따라서 질소의 함유량이 증가하여 굴절률이 높고 더욱 치밀한 형태의 박막이 형성되었으며, 이는 시간의 증가에 따라 플라즈마 챔버 내에 존재하는 활성종들은 실리콘 박막의 개질을 통한 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 두께 증가에 기여하기 보다는 형성된 박막의 내부적인 성분 변화에 기여하게 된다. 이산화질소 플라즈마 처리 시간의 변화에 따라 형성된 박막의 정기적인 특성의 경우, 2.3 nm 이상의 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막을 가진 MIS 구조에서 accumulation과 inversion의 특성이 명확하게 나타남을 확인할 수 있다. 아산화질소 플라즈마 처리 시간이 짧은 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 경우 전압의 변화에 따라 공핍영역에서의 기울기가 현저히 감소하며 이는 플라즈마에 의한 계면 손상으로 계면결합 전하량이 증가에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 전류-전압 곡선을 활용하여 측정한 터널링 메카니즘은 2.3 nm 이하의 두께를 가진 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 직접 터널링이 주도하며, 2.7 nm 이상의 두께를 가진 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 F-N 터널링이 주도하고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 즉, 2.5 nm 두께를 경계로 하여 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 터널링 메카니즘이 변화함을 확인할 수 있다. 결론적으로 2.3 nm 이상의 두께를 가진 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막에서 전기적인 안정성을 확보할수 있어 박막트랜지스터의 절연막으로 활용이 가능하며 2.5 nm 두께를 경계로 터널링 메커니즘이 변화하는 특성을 이용하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자 제작시 전하 주입 및 기억 유지 특성을 확보를 위한 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 터널링 박막을 효과적으로 선택하여 활용할 수 있다.

Titanium hydroxide (TiO({{{{ {OH }_{2 } }})) fine particles were produced by the reverse micelle technique. For the formation of titanium hydroxide (TiO({{{{ {OH }_{2 } }})) particles with the technique reversed micellar solution was prepared by solubilizing water into organic solvent (isooctane) with a surfactant and titanium alkoxide (tetraisopropyl orthotitanate) diluted with isopropyl alcohol was added to the reversed micellar solution. The hdrolyzed species (TiO({{{{ {OH }_{2 } }})) was formed by the hydrolysis of titanium alkoxide and titanium dioxide is then formed by the condensation of the hydrolyzed species. There are several process variables such as surfactants concentration of surface cosurfactant hydrolysis temperature and pH. In this work the ef-fects of process variables on paticle shapes particle size distribution and paticle agglomeration were bi-nodal for an anionic surfactant(AOT) in the whole range of temperature pH and surfactant concentration of this experiment. The addition of ethanol as a cosurfactant resulted in narrow particle size distribution of the experiment. The additiono of ethanol as a cosurfactant resulted in narrow particle size distribution and 0.12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of smaller average particle diameter. FT-IR spectrum of particles shows the absorption peak of Ti-OH bonding and Ti-O bonding. An exothermic peak around 41$0^{\circ}C$ in TGA-DTA curve shows that crys- tallized anatase phase appears and completely transits to anatase around 45$0^{\circ}C$.
