폴리머 애자는 기존 사기 재질 애자에 제조비용과 설치비용이 저렴하며 훌륭한 내구성과 경량화에 따른 취급의 편의성으로 최근 기존 애자를 대체하기 위한 연구와 실증이 활발하다. 그러나 폴리머 애자는 재질의 한계로 인해 유증에 따른 오염에 취약한 단점을 가져 터널내부와 전기철도차량에 사용하는 것에 있어 한계를 가진다. 폴리머 애자의 활용성을 높이기 위해 본 연구에서는 폴리머 애자의 표면에 초친수 코팅을 하여 애자 표면을 개선하는 연구를 진행하였다. 초친수 박막은 제작된 4인치 타겟을 사용하여 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방식으로 폴리머 애자 표면에 코팅하였고, 제작된 시편은 접착력과 접촉각 측정 등의 특성분석을 수행하였다. 초친수 코팅은 폴리머 애자 표면에 흡착된 유증오염물질을 약간의 수분반응으로 손쉽게 제거하는 성능을 나타내었다.

This paper presents energy self-sufficiency simulated in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by adopting solar energy production systems that were simulated by varying azimuth and super-hydrophilic coating on the surface of photovoltaic (PV). Relative to the national average energy consumption in WWTPs, the employment of 100 kW PV system was simulated to achieve 2.75% of energy self-sufficiency. The simulated results suggested that the installation of PVs toward South or Southwest would produce the highest energy self-sufficiency in WWTPs. When super-hydrophilic coating was employed in the conventional PV, 5% of additional solar energy production was achievable as compared to uncoated conventional PV. When 100 kW of PV system was installed in a future test-bed site, Kihyeung Respia WWTP located in Yongin, South Korea, the energy self-sufficiency by solar power was simulated to be 1.77%. The simulated solar power production by azimuth and super-hydrophilic coating will be useful reference for practitioners in designing the solar PV systems in the WWTPs.

플라즈마 공법은 표면 처리를 위한 유용한 방법으로 널리 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 화학 기상 증착법(Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, PECVD)을 이용해 기존의 폴리머 표면에 나노구조를 형성하고 그 위에 친수성을 갖는 물질을 코팅해 초친수 표면을 만들어 김서림 방지 성능을 확인하였다. 이러한 초친수성 폴리머 표면의 경우 김서림 방지 등 초친수 표면이 필요한 곳에 유용하게 사용 될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

일반적으로 초친수 박막들은 물의 퍼짐 현상이 발생하여 빠른 건조와 함께 표면에 붙은 이물질 제거와 공기 중의 미세먼지를 흡착을 하지 않음으로써 표면에 워터스폿(water spot, 물자국)이 생기지 않고 다시 깨끗해지는 자가세정 능력을 가져 유리 및 건축자재의 표면처리 용도로써 많이 사용하고 있다. 이러한 초친수 박막을 제조하는 방법으로는 sol-gel법, 진공 증착법, 화학 기상 증착법, 스퍼터링법 등을 이용한다. 이중 스퍼터링법은 높은 증착속도를 얻을 수 있으며, 비교적 낮은 진공도에서 박막제작을 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 본 실험은 RF-magnetron sputtering법을 이용하여 화학적으로 매우 안정하고 높은 투과율을 가지며 기계적 표면 경도가 우수하여 코팅용 박막으로 널리 이용되고 있는 $TiO_2$와 $SiO_2$를 Single Layer와 Double Layer인 $TiO_2/SiO_2$/Glass박막을 제작하여 초친수 특성을 분석하였다. 광학적 특성을 알아보기 위해 UV-vis spectrophotometer장비를 사용하여 측정한 결과 가시광 영역에서 80% 이상의 높은 투과율을 나타내었다. 이는 모든 박막들의 광학적 특성이 우수하여 높은 광학적 특성을 요구하는 분야에 널리 사용 될 수 있다 것이라는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 박막의 표면을 확인하기 위해 AFM을 측정한 결과 모든 박막들은 고른 거칠기를 나타내고 있다는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이것으로 볼때 초친수 역시 초발수 박막의 표면과 마찬가지로 일정한 패턴을 가져야 하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 박막이 초친수성을 띄기 위해 가장 중요시되는 조건인 접촉각이 5도 이하인 조건을 확인을 위해 Contact Angle을 이용하여 접촉각을 측정해 본 결과 박막들은 초친수성의 조건인 5도 보다 더욱 낮은 접촉각의 측정결과를 나타내었다. 위 실험결과를 볼 때 $TiO_2$와 $SiO_2$를 기반으로 단층 혹은 다층으로 박막을 제작하면 더욱 좋은 초친수 특성을 가져 사회적으로 여러 분야에 사용 가능 할 것이라 사료된다.

This paper aims at estimating self-cleaning performance of mortar coated with photocatalytic suspension under various conditions. Experimental variables included the concentration (1.5 % and 3.0 %) of photocatalytic suspension for coating mortar specimen, the presence of hydrophilic agent in photocatalytic suspension, and applying the primer on the surface of mortar. The color change of methylene blue solution increased and accordingly self-cleaning performance increased as photocatalytic concentration increased. The presence of hydrophilic agent in photocatalytic suspension slightly decreased the self-cleaning performance compared to the conventional photocatalytic suspension. Test results also showed that mortar specimen including primer and specimen not including primer did not show significantly different self-cleaning performance. In addition, cracks on the surface of mortar specimens decreased as the photocatalytic concentration increased. Therefore, increase in cracks on the surface of mortar at different photocatalytic concentration might adversely affect the self-cleaning performance of mortar specimens.

In order to produce hydrophilic coating solution, which has superior antifogging and antifouling effect on the glass surface of solar cell module as well as improving photovoltaic efficiency, nanosilica was dispersed in an aqueous solution of Tween 20 and fluorosurfactant composed of decafluorobutane and polyethylene glycol. The antifogging effect at high temperature was excellent for all the coating solutions containing nanosilica, but the antifouling effect was observed when the content of nanosilica was over 6 wt%. As the content of fluorosurfactant increased, the initial water contact angle slightly increased and the antifogging effect remained well until 500 wiping with wet $Wipeol^{(R)}$. The antifouling effect was also excellent regardless of the content of fluorosurfactant, thus 0.1 wt% of the fluorosurfactant was enough for a coating solution production. From the AFM results, when 0.1 wt% to 0.3 wt% of the fluoro surfactant was added, the fractal structure of the coated glass surface was clearly existed and contributed to the better antifouling effect. The transmittance of coated glass surface was highest in TL-1 coating solution containing 0.1 wt% of fluorosurfactant, and the addition of fluorosurfactant in a larger amount than 0.1 wt% did not improve the transmittance. This result is in good agreement with the previous AFM result which shows a high surface roughness as well as a fractal structure formation for the TL-1 coating solution.

We have studied superhydrophilic properties of TiO₂thin films in relation with those crystal structures due to the heat treatments. Thin films were fabricated on Si (100) wafers using a conventional Sol-Gel method. Following drying and sintering processes, TiO₂film had an anatase phase with additional heat treatment at 500℃, an rutile phase at 1000℃, and a mixture of anatase and rutile phase at 750℃. All these films got hydrophilic even without any UV illumination. Especially the sample treated at 750℃ had a superhydrophilic contact angle of 5°. We suggested that the superhydrophilic films should have a mixture of anatase and rutile phase for the best performance. The hydrophilic TiO₂films were slowly degraded into the hydrophobic state in the dark room but quickly recovered back with les than 1 hour of UV illumination.
