The purpose of this study was to assess the effect on oxygen inhibition layer(OIL) for the interfacial bonding between resin composite layers, including shear bond strength, fracture modes and degree of conversion. The first layer of specimen was filled with Z-250(shade A3) and was cured for 40s. The second layer of specimen was filled with same composite(shade A1) and was cured for 40s. The first layer of specimens for each group were prepared by methods as followings. Control(curing in atmospheric air), Group1(curing against Mylar strip), Group2(scrubbed with a acetone-soaked cotton), Group3(using Tescera light cup), Group4(using Tescera heat cup), Group5(stored in disti1led water for 30days at $37^{\circ}C$), Group6 (using bonding agent). The results were as follows: 1. There was no statistically significant different shear bond strength between control and group 1(p>0.05). 2. Group 2 showed significantly lower shear bond strength than control and group 1(p<0.05). 3. The observation of the fracture surface leads to the evidence that a major difference occurs in the case of control, group1 and group 3 samples which break mainly cohesively while the other groups break in majority adhesively. 4. The results of FTIR showed that the degree of conversion was the highest in group 2 and the lowest in control group(p<0.05). It can be concluded that an OIL is not necessary for bonding with composite resin. But if a reduced critical amount of the unreacted monomer is present, it was detrimental to bonding additional layers of composite. Further study, such as the quantitative analysis of the unreacted monomer are required.

유기태양전지는 간단한 제작 공정과 저비용 제작이 가능하고 플렉서블 소자를 제작할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있어서 많은 연구자들이 관심을 가지고 있다. 하지만 현재 유기태양전지의 효율은 낮기 때문에 실리콘 기반이나 화합물 기반의 태양전지에 비해서 효율이 낮은 단점을 가지고 있다. 유기태양전지의 효율을 높이기 위한 다양한 연구들이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 나노구조를 가지는 광활성층을 사용하여 제작된 고효율 유기태양전지에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 나노구조를 가지는 유기태양전지는 생성된 엑시톤을 분리시킬 수 있는 계면이 넓어지기 때문에 전하 분리 효율을 높아지게 되고, 고효율의 유기태양전지를 제작할 수 있게 된다. 또한, 넓은 광흡수 스펙트럼을 가지는 양자점을 활용하는 연구도 함께 진행되고 있다. 양자점을 사용하여 유기태양전지의 효율을 높이는 실험이 진행되고 있지만, 실제 효율을 높이는데 많은 어려움을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고분자점과 양자점이 결합한 나노복합체를 사용하여 요철 구조를 가진 광활성층을 사용한 유기태양전지를 제작하였다. 고분자점과 양자점이 결합한 나노복합체는 물질에 비해서 넓은 광흡수 영역을 가져서 생성된 엑시톤의 양을 늘리는 역할을 한다. 고분자점과 양자점이 결합한 나노복합체로 만든 요철 구조는 평면구조로 제작한 요철 구조에 비해서 계면에서 균일한 적층이 가능한 나노구조가 제작되기 때문에, 계면에서 일어나는 전하 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 고분자점과 양자점이 결합한 나노복합체로 제작된 요철 구조를 사용한 유기태양전지가 기본 소자에 비해서 상당한 효율 향상을 확인하였다. 양자점을 포함한 나노복합체로 제작된 유기 태양전지의 효율증진 메커니즘을 논한다.

Hot-pressure sintered laminar composites with alumina/zirconia or mullite/zirconia as an outer layer and alumina/zircon (resulting in reaction-bonded mullite/zirconia during sintering) as an inner layer were fabricated by tape casting and lamination. Various forms of crack were observed in sintered laminar composites, these cracks included channel cracks in the outer layer, transverse cracks in the inner layer and interface cracks debonding interlayer. Based on detailed microscopic observations, the cracks were attributed to thermal expansion mismatch between the oxides consisting of the each layer. In particular, the interlayer and transverse cracks were confirmed in the laminates consisted of the mullite/zirconia system as the outer layers, however, those cracks were not observed in the alumina/zirconia system used. In addition, the crack propagation did not exhibit same behavior in the two kinds of outer layer when the indentation load was applied.

The interfacial layer between the oxide film and the metal film according to RTP annealing temperature of metal film has been studied. Two types of oxides, BPSG and PETEOS, were used as a bottom layer under multi-layered metal films. We observed the interface between oxide and metal films using SEM (scanning electron microscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), AES (auger electron spectroscopy). Bonding failure was occurred by interfacial reaction between the BPSG oxide and the multi-layered metal films above $650^{\circ}C$ RTP anneal. The phosphorus accumulation layer was observed at interface between BPSG oxide and metal films by AES and TEM measurements. On the other hand, bonding was always good in the sample using PETEOS oxide as a bottom layer. We have known that adhesion between BPSG and multi-layered metal films was improved when the sample was annealed below $650^{\circ}C$.

Ethyl methacrylate (EMA) monomer coupling onto the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film surface was attempted to enhance the interfacial adhesive force between PVDF-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bilayer films via dielectric barrier corona discharge. The interfacial forces were quite enhanced when PVDF films were treated by corona discharge in an EMA 1% atmosphere. The contact angle of PVDF films decreased due to corona treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that the carbon and oxygen content of the PVDF film surface increased with corona discharge while the fluoride content decreased. The curve fitting of XPS $C_{1s}$ peaks revealed that the non-polar C-C bonded carbon and oxygen-bonded carbon increased gradually with corona treatment, while the fluorine-bonded carbon decreased.

The ceramic diffusion coupling with the green body of calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$CLC- G) and sintered calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$ CLC) by Pechini's method on yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ) plate has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction pattern of CLC sides at the reacted CLC-G/ CLC and CLC/YSZ interface were identified as La$_{1-x}$ Ca$_{x}$CrO$_3$ and the unreacted YSZ side was cubic-ZrO$_2$ at the treated condition, 1300~1500 C for 10 hr in air, respectively. The order of migration components between CLC/YSZ interface was Zr>La>>Cr>>>Ca and these changes were not dependent upon the treated conditions. The grain shape and size at the interface of CLC-G/CLC was appeared to have a uniform distribution with increasing temperature. The bonding reaction of YSZ/CLC was occurred without a large amount change of the compositions in SEM photos.os.otos.os.

Four point bending is used to study the dependences of bond strength of benzocyclobutene(BCB) bonded wafers and BCB thickness, the use of an adhesion promoter, and the materials being bonded. The bond strength depends linearly on BCB thickness, due to the thickness-dependent contribution of the plastic dissipation energy of the BCB and thickness independence of BCB yield strength. The bond strength increases by about a factor of two with an adhesion promoter for both $2.6{\mu}m$ and $0.4{\mu}m$ thick BCB, because of the formation of covalent bonds between adhesion promoter and the surface of the bonded materials. The bond strength at the interface between a silicon wafer with deposited oxide and BCB is about a factor of three higher than that at the interface between a glass wafer and BCB. This difference in bond strength is attributed to the difference in Si-O bond density at the interfaces. At the interfaces between plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) oxide coated silicon wafers and BCB, and between thermally grown oxide on silicon wafers and BCB, 12~13 and $15{\sim}16bonds/nm^2$ need to be broken. This corresponds to the observed bond energies, $G_0s$, of 18 and $22J/m^2$, respectively. Maximum 7~8 Si-O $bonds/nm^2$ are needed to explain the $5J/m^2$ at the interfaces between glass wafers and BCB.

The microstructure and thermal properties of the Mn-IriNi-Fe exchange biased multi-layers with various buffer layers and stacking structures have been investigated. The H$_{e{\chi}}$ and the T$_{b}$ depend on the Mn-Ir grain size at the interface between the Mn-Ir layer and the Ni-Fe layer, The (111) preferred orientation of Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe on the Ta buffer layer may promote the values of J$_{k}$ and H$_{e{\chi}}$. The samples which produce the Hex have the epitaxial relationship at the interface between the Mn-Ir layer and the Ni-Fe layer due to the generation of misfit dislocation.

We studied the exchange anisotropy of Ni-Fe/Co-Fe/Mn-Ir/Cu/buffer/Si multilayers using D.C magnetron sputtering technique. Generally, Ni-Fe/Mn-Ir/buffer(Cu)/Si multilayers cannot pin the ferromagnetic layer for the lower exchange biased field. We got $H_{ex}$ ex/ increased by two times, after using Cu/Ta as buffer layer to get larger grain size of Mn-Ir layer and inserting very thin Co-Fe layer between the Ni-Fe layer and the Mn-Ir layer to get improved grain-to-grain epitaxy relation at the interface between Ni-Fe layer and Mn-Ir layer. The variation of $H_{ex}$ by thickness of Mn-Ir layer in ferromagnete/Mn-Ir/buffer/Si multilayers is different to that in Mn-Ir/ferromagnete/buffer/Si multilayers, because the volume distribution of grain size of Mn-Ir layer and the exchange energy at the interface between the Mn-Ir and the ferromagnetic layers is different for stacking sequence.
