In recent years, researches on organic-inorganic coating films have conducted a nanocomposite system composed of organic resin matrices having excellent flexibility and chemical stability and inorganic materials having excellent mechanical properties. The o-phenylphenoxyethyl acrylate (OPPEA) used as the acrylate monomer has a high refractive index of 1.58, and the bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate (BAEDA) has a low refractive index but improves the chemical stability of the organic resin. In addition, zirconia used as an inorganic material exhibits excellent durability and optical properties. In this study, the BAEDA contents in acrylate monomer were controlled to produce a film with suitable optical transparency. And optimum conditions were established by comparing the changes in surface properties of PET films detected with pencil hardness tester, Abbe's refractometer, and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The hydrophobicity and the dispersibility of zirconia in acrylate monomer were much improved after modification with ${\gamma}$-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), which is a silane coupling agent. And the existence of ester C=O bond peak at $1716cm^{-1}$ introduced by MPS through FT-IR ATR spectrophotometer confirmed the completion of surface modification of zirconia with MPS. In addition, the presence of silicon atom on the surface modified zirconia was also proved using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. When the photocurable hybrid coating was prepared by introducing chemically modified zirconia into acrylate monomer, the refractive index of this coated PET film was improved by 1.2%, compared to the only acrylate coated PET film. The homogeneous distribution of zirconia in acrylate coating layer on PET film was also identified through SEM/EDS mapping analysis technique.

Inorganic-organic hybrid coating solutions were synthesized using titania sol from titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) as an inorganic component and mixture of two or three types of silane coupling agents, such as methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APS), glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as an organic component. The hard coating films were obtained by spin-coating on the polycarbonate sheets and curing the inorganic-organic hybrid coating solutions. The coating films made from the mixture of two types of silane coupling agents showed poor pencil hardness and adhesion, while those from the mixture of three types of silane coupling agents exhibited an improved pencil hardness of 2H~4H and adhesion of 5B. The refractive indexes of coating films were increased from 1.56 to 1.63 at 550 nm by increasing the content of titania sols from 20 to 30 g.

In this work, the primary material for a single layered hardmask which can afford a spin-on process was prepared by the minture of organic and inorganic sources. The preparation of hybrid polymer was attempted by esterification from silanol terminated siloxane compounds and acetonide-2,2-bis(methoxy)propionic acid. The optical, thermal and morphological properties of the test hardmask film was examined in terms of cross-linking agent and additives. In addition, the etch rate of hardmask film and photo resist layer were compared. The hybrid polymer prepared from organic and inorganic materials was found to be useful for hardmask film to form the nano-patterns.

The human eye is exposed to UV and visible light. UV light exposure becomes harmful to the eye. Protection for eyes should block all ultraviolet rays. In our study, organic-inorganic hybrid materials have been applied to UV blocking coatings with UV absorbing materials on transparent plastics. The optical properties of UV blocking coatings were investigated in PMMA, CR 39 and PC substrates. In case of all UV absorbers, the transmission of UV light decreases with an increased amount of absorber. Our findings indicate that PMMA significantly reduced the transmission of UV radiation, CR 39 showed moderate decrease, while UV-uncoated PC had some UV blocking properties. Adhesion, hot water resistance and chemical resistance of the UV-coated CR 39 lenses were good. Pencil hardness were 4H. Abrasion resistance were poor.

Zirconia has white color and physical, chemical stability, also using in high temperature materials and various industrial structural ceramics such as heat insulating materials and refractories due to their low thermal conductivity, excellent strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. If hydrophobically modified zirconia is introduced into a hydrophobic acrylate coating solution, the hardness, chemical, electrical, and optical properties will be improved due to the better dispersibility of inorganic particle in organic coating media. Thus, we introduced $-CH_3$ group through silylation reaction using either trimethylchlorosilane(TMCS) or hexamethyldisilazane(HMDZ) on zirconia surface. The $Si-CH_3$ peaks derived from TMCS and HMDZ on hydrophobically modified zirconia surface was confirmed by FT-IR ATR spectroscopy, and introduction of silicon was confirmed by FE-SEM/EDS and ICP-AES. In addition, the sedimentation rate result in acrylate monomer of the modified zirconia showed the improved dispersibility. Comparison of the sizes of a pristine and the modified zirconia particles, which were clearly measured not by the normal microscope but by particle size analysis, provided a pulverizing was occurred by physical force during the silylation process. From the BET analysis data, the specific surface area of zirconia was approximately $18m^2/g$ and did not significantly change during modification process.

The effect of synthesis conditions such as various organic material and composition of organic-inorganic material in ozone resistance and surface characteristic of ultraviolet cured organic-inorganic hybrid coating film has been investigated. Organic-inorganic hybrid coating solution was prepared using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), silane coupling agent methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate, and various organic materials with acrylate group, bar-coated on substrates using applicator and densified by UV-curing. It was found that ozone resistance and surface hardness of the coating film was increased with contents of TEOS. It was also found that ozone resistance of coating film was increased with contents of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. On the other hand, surface hardness was decreased with increase of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. In addition, Surface hardness of coating film was increased with the addition of aliphatic urethane acrylate. It was also found that the transmittance of coating films was not influenced by content of TEOS and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. In addition, the coating film exhibited high transmittance of above 90%.

광통신을 위한 구성 요소는 빛을 발생시키는 발광소자, 빛을 검출하는 수광소자 그리고 광신호를 처리하는 광신호처리 소자로 구성된다. 이때 각 소자간 광전송과 광소자에 의한 광 신호 처리 과정에서 광전송 손실이 심각하게 일어나 광정보를 상실하게 되므로 각 요소별로 광신호 증폭이 반드시 필요하다. 뿐만 아니라 완전 광화에 의한 초고속/대용량 광통신망의 구축에는 저가이며, 광집적화가 가능한 광도파로형 광증폭기가 요구되고 있다. 짧은 거리에 높은 증폭 효율을 얻기 위한 광도파로형 광증폭기를 구현하기 위해서는 광통신 파장대인 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ 대역의 증폭이 가능한 Er 이온을 고농도로 도핑 할 필요가 있다. 그러나 Er 이온을 단순히 고농도로 첨가하면 Er-Er 간 뭉침 현상에 의해 더 이상의 증폭이 어렵게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하면서 스핀 코팅이 가능하여 저가 공정이 가능한 유/무기 졸-겔 재료 내에 Er 이온을 제어된 방법으로 첨가하고 그 결합 환경을 FT-IR 및 $^{17}$ O-NMR로 분석하였다. 유/무기 졸겔 재료 제조를 위하여 먼저 MPTS(MethAcryoxyPropylTrimethoxySilane)를 부분 가수분해한 후 ZrOCl$_2$.8$_2$O (Zirconyl Chloride Octahydrate) 와 ErCl$_3$. 6$H_2O$ (Erbium(III) Chloride Hexahydrate)를 순차적으로 결합시키고, Zr/MPTS 및 Zr/Er의 첨가비에 따른 발광 특성을 PL(photoluminescence) 스팩트럼으로 분석하여 Er 이온의 주위 결합 환경이 PL에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 Si 기판에 코팅한 Er이 도핑된 유/무기 하이브리드 졸-겔 코팅막의 굴절율 등 광도파로 재료로서의 특성도 프리즘 커플러 등을 이용하여 조사하였다.

In the past, a very popular way to reduce the corrosion rate of zinc was the use of chemical conversion layers based on $Cr^{+6}$. However, the use of chromium salts is now restricted because of environmental protection legislation. Previous research investigated the optimum corrosion resistance of galvanized steel treated with an organic/inorganic solution containing Si. The result showed that the optimum corrosion resistance occurred by heat treatment of $190^{\circ}C$ in 5 min. In this study, one organic and three hybrid organic/inorganic coating solutions were applied to cold-rolled (CR) carbon steel. The coatings were then evaluated for corrosion resistance under a salt spray test. The coating solutions examined in this study consisted of urethane-only, urethane-Si, urethane-Si-Ti, and urethane-Si-Ti-epoxy. The results of the 7 h salt spray test showed that the urethane-Si-Ti and urethane-Si-Ti-epoxy coating solutions had superior corrosion resistance on CR steel.

21세기 정보기반사회에서는 정보처리량의 증가로 인한 대용량 정보 교환을 위하여 신호처리의 고속화/광대역화가 요구되어진다. 완전 광통신망의 구축에 의한 대용량의 광통신을 위해서는 고속이며, 집적화가 가능한 저가의 광전자 소자 개발이 필요하다. 광전자 소자 중 전기-광학 변조 효과를 이용한 광소자의 구현을 위한 소재로서 극성 배향된 비선형 광학 유기고분자 소재는 가공성이 뛰어나 원하는 형태의 광도파로로 제조할 수 있다는 장점에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 아직 전기광학계수의 향상과 더불어 유기고분자가 가지고 있는 열 및 광화학적 안정성이 낮은 기본적인 문제점과 폴링(poling)에 의해 배향된 극성이 시간에 따라 완화되는 문제의 해결이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제점 해결을 위한 기초 연구로 유기물을 졸-겔 매트릭스에 나노 사이즈로 분산하는 방법으로 유기물의 내화학적 안정성을 향상하고자 시도하였다. 잘 알려져 있는 바와 같이 유/무기 하이브리드 졸-겔 재료는 광 투광성이 우수하고 저온에서의 재료 합성과 저가 공정이 가능하여 광기능성 유기물의 호스트(host) 재료로 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MTMS(methyltrimethoxysilane)과 TEOS (tetra-ethoxyorthosilicate)를 0-100 mol%로 혼합하고 가수분해하는 방법으로 친수성/친유성 특성을 제어하여, 분산되는 유기물의 사이즈를 조정하였다. 각 실험 조건에 따른 유기물 분산체의 크기를 SEM 및 TEM으로 관찰하였으며, 나노 사이즈로 분산된 유/무기 졸-겔 코팅막의 광학적 특성을 프리즘 커플러를 이용하여 조사하였다.
