Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of polishing techniques on surface roughness of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), as well as the influence of light-cured surface glaze and subsequent brushing on surface roughness. Materials and methods: A total of 60 PMMA specimens ($10{\times}10{\times}5\;mm$) were made and then divided into 6 groups of 10 each according to the polymerization methods (under pressure or atmosphere) and the surface polishing methods (mechanical or chemical polishing) including 2 control groups. The mechanical polishing was performed with the carbide denture bur, rubber points and then pumice and lathe wheel. The chemical polishing was performed by applying a light-cured surface glaze ($Plaquit^{(R)}$; Dreve-Dentamid GmbH). Accura $2000^{(R)}$, a non-contact, non-destructive, optical 3-dimensional surface analysis system, was used to measure the surface roughness (Ra) and 3-dimensional images were acquired. The surface roughness was again measured after ultrasonic tooth brushing in order to evaluate the influence of brushing on the surface roughness. The statistical analysis was performed with Mann-Whitney test and t-test using a 95% level of confidence. Results: The chemically polished group showed a statistically lower mean surface roughness in comparison to the mechanically polished group (P = .0045) and the specimens polymerized under the atmospheric pressure presented a more significant difference (P = .0138). After brushing, all of the groups, except the mechanically polished group, presented rougher surfaces and showed no statistically significant differences between groups. Conclusion: Although the surface roughness increased after brushing, the chemical polishing technique presented an improved surface condition in comparison to the mechanical polishing technique.

The mechanism of stone exfoliation and its cause in relation to chemical weathering by soluble salt were studied. Chemical, mineralogical and physical analysis was performed in exfoliation samples from stone monuments. The representative salt is gypsum in the exfoliation samples. In order to understand the salt reaction, stone samples(tuff and granite) were treated with two type of the salt, gypsum and sodium sulfate, which have different solubility. The capillary water uptakes are slight increased in impregnated with Na2SO4 and weathering simulation of two rock types. It means that the rock is deteriorated in the near of the surface by $Na_2SO_4$. $CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ bring out the thicker exfoliation than $Na_2SO_4$ because it is penetrated into the deeper zone and amount of accumulated salt is more abundant in the inner part than in the near of the surface. The exfoliation was formed in the tuff by salt treatment and 30cycle of weathering simulation, but there are not significant symptoms of exfoliation in the granite by same condition. This result was caused by the different capillary water uptakes and porosity of the rocks. In the tuff, salt solutions are penetrated into the inner part due to its high capillary water uptakes and porosity but the granite, which has low value relatively, can be formed thinner exfoliation.

Hydrochar has been generated from food waste via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) reaction. As a solid product of HTC reaction, hydrochar has a great potential as an adsorbent of pollutants from the various media. The surface area and pore volumes are very important parameters to be served as an adsorbent. It requires an expensive equipment and consumes time to measure those parameter. Therefore, titration methods including iodine and methylene blue adsorption were evaluated to be correlated with that of BET analysis. Even though the absolute values of the computed surface area and pore volumes were not able to be matched directly, the patterns of change were successfully correlated. Among the reaction conditions, the reaction time and temperature at $230^{\circ}C$ for 4 h was determined as an optimization condition, which confirmed by titration method and BET analysis. Titration method for surface area and pore volumes computed by combination of iodine and methylene blue adsorbing values would be a simple and fast way of determining the optimization condition for hydrochar as an adsorbent produced by HTC reaction.

현대에 이르러 직접방식 엑스선 검출기에서는 기존의 a-Se을 주로 이용하였지만, 고전압 인가에 따른 회로 손상과 짧은 수명, 그리고 누설전류에 따른 안전의 문제 등으로 낮은 에너지 밴드갭과 높은 흡수효율, 비저항 등에 의거한 다양한 대체 물질에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어져가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 직접방식 엑스선 검출물질로 전기이동도와 흡수효율이 뛰어나고, 밴드갭이 낮아 태양전지분야 뿐만 아니라 최근 엑스선 검출물질로 각광받고 있는 CdTe를 선정하였다. 연구의 목적은 PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)방식의 CdTe 검출 물질의 제작과정에서 CdTe가 기화되어 하부전극 기판에 증착될 시, 하부전극 기판 온도에 따른 CdTe의 박막형성과 전기적 측정을 실시하여 그에 따른 최적의 증착조건을 선정하는 것이다. 하부전극 기판으로는 Au/glass를 사용하였으며 증착 시, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$로 나누어 특성을 평가하였다. 시료는 파우더형태의 다결정CdTe를 120 g를 사용하여 증착완료 시, 약 $100{\mu}m$의 박막두께를 구현하였다. PVD증착의 조건으로는 Mo재질의 보트를 사용하였으며, 증착 시 진공도는 $5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr, 보트온도는 약 $350^{\circ}C$ 소요시간은 5시간이었다. 증착이 완료된 CdTe의 표면구조와 전기적 특성평가를 위해 SEM촬영을 실시하였고, 전기적 특성 평가를 위해 CdTe표면에 Au를 PVD방식으로 증착하였다. 실험 결과 SEM촬영을 이용한 표면특성에서는 하부전극 기판의 온도가 높아질수록 표면 결정입자가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 전기적 특성에서도 하부전극 기판의 온도가 증가할수록 RQA-5 조건의 70 kVp, 100 mA, 0.03 sec 엑스선에 대한 우수한 민감도와 암전류 값을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 증착과정에서 온도에 따른 다결정 CdTe의 표면결정 크기 증가는 동일한 면적에서 표면결정 수의 감소를 뜻한다. 이는 결정간의 경계에서 트랩 되어지는 전자가 감소하고, 전자의 이동도 또한 높은 효율을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 CdTe기반의 직접방식 엑스선 검출기 제작과정에서 증착 시 하부전극기판 온도가 증가할수록 결정의 크기가 증가하여 최적의 전기적 특성을 나타냄을 검증할 수 있었다.

The surface of polyethylene (PE) was modified through Ar atmospheric pressure plasma treatment and subsequent grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Optimum plasma treatment conditions were determined through analyzing the surface free energies calculated from the contact angles between PE samples and three probe liquids, which were RF-power of 200 W, plasma treatment time of 600 sec, Ar flow rate of 5 LPM, and sample-holder moving speed of 20 mm/sec. To introduce the maximum amount of GMA on PE surface treated under the conditions, graft copolymerization conditions such as GMA concentration, temperature, and time were carefully controlled. Grafting degree (GD) was obtained through weight difference analysis of PE film before and after graft copolymerization. A maximum GD was achieved at the GMA concentration of 20 vol%, the temperature of $80^{\circ}C$, and the treatment time of 4 hr.

This study focuses on investigating the influence of epoxy polymer crosslinking density, a crucial aspect in composite material matrices, on the yield surface using molecular dynamics simulations. Our approach involved generating epoxy models with diverse crosslinking densities and subjecting them to both uniaxial and multiaxial deformation simulations, accounting for the elasto-plastic deformation behaviors. Through this, we obtained key mechanical parameters including elastic modulus, yield point, and strain hardening coefficient, all correlated with crosslinking conversion ratios. A particularly noteworthy finding is the rapid expansion of the yield surface in the biaxial compression region with increasing crosslinking ratios, compared to the uniaxial tensile region. This unique behavior led to observable yield surface variations, indicating a significant pressure-dependent relationship of the yield surface considering plastic strain and crosslinking conversion ratio. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between crosslinking density and plastic mechanical response, especially in the aspect of multiaxial deformation behaviors.

반도체 공정에서의 금속 배선 공정은 매우 중요한 공정 중 하나이다. 기존에 사용되던 알루미늄이 한계에 다다르면서, 대체 재료로 사용되고있는 구리는 낮은 비저항, 높은 열전도도, 우수한 electromigration(EM)저항특성 등을 바탕으로 차세대 nano-scale집적회로의 interconnect application에 적합한 금속재료로서 각광받고 있다. Electroplating을 위한 구리 seed layer CVD 공정은 타 공정에 비해 step coverage가 우수한 막을 증착할 수 있어 고집적 소자의 구현이 가능하다. 본 연구에 이용된 2가 전구체 Cu(dmamb)2는 높은 증기압과 높은 활성화 에너지를 가짐으로서 열적안정성 및 보관안정성이 우수하며, 플루오르를 함유하지 않아 친환경적이다. 구리 증착 전 기판에 plasma 처리를 하면 표면 morphology가 변함에 따라 표면 에너지가 변화하고, 이는 구리의 2차원 성장에 유리하게 작용할 것으로 여겨진다. Plasma의 조건변화에 따른 기판의 morphology 변화 및 성막된 구리의 특성 변화를 분석하였다.

The Maxwell displacement current was investigated in the connection with phase diagram of monolayers on a water surface. We measwed the displacement current of 8A5H monolayers on the water surface. The displacement current generated during 8A5H monolayers compression. Also, displacement current pulses were found to be generated when isomerizations were induced in 8A5H monolayers by irradiation with ultraviolet light ($lambda_1=340nm$) and visible light($lambda_2=450nm$).
