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.

폴리페닐카보실란은 페닐그룹을 포함하고 있는 카보실란계 고분자로서 열분해 후 과량의 탄소를 함유할 수 있는 세라믹 전구체이다. 카보실란계열의 고분자는 산화특성이 있어 SiOC 코팅 용도에도 사용되고 있는데, 폴리페닐카보실란은 free 탄소를 함유하는 SiOC:C 필름을 형성할 수 있다. SiOC 코팅 전구체로는 일반적으로 실리카졸, 실라잔 계열의 고분자, 실록산 계열의 고분자가 사용되고 있으나, 폴리페닐카보실란의 경우 상기 전구체에 비하여 보관 안정성 및 뛰어난 부착특성을 나타낸다. 기존 연구에서는 폴리페닐카보실란으로부터 형성된 SiOC:C 필름의 저유전막, 산화방지막, 분진방지막 등의 응용성에 대하여 고찰한 바 있다. 폴리페닐카보실란은 열처리 온도 영역에 따라 응용 분야가 달라질 수 있는데, 이에 본 연구에서는 각 열처리 온도 영역에 따라 형성되는 SiOC:C 필름의 구조적 변화를 고찰하였다. 필름 형성은 20 % 폴리카보실란 용액을 스핀코팅하고 대기상에서 경화를 실시하였으며, 질소 분위기에서 400 ~ 1200 도 범위에서 열처리하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 300 nm 두께의 필름은 XPS 표면분석과 FT-IR, Solid-NMR을 이용하여 C-Si-O 네트워크 형성의 거동을 확인하였으며, 800 도 이상에서 나타나는 특징적인 free 탄소는 Raman을 이용하여 확인하였다.

We prepared films by a bar-coating of various graphene oxide (GO) pastes by varying pH with amine compounds. The thermal treatment of films at $150^{\circ}C$ and measurement of surface resistances exhibited that the pH variation does not significantly affect the surface resistance. We, however, found that the addition of amines reduced the surface resistance by approximately 10 times and N,N-dimethylethanolamine (DMEA) showed the most significant effect among all amines investigated. XPS studies demonstrated that the addition of DMEA accelerated the reduction reaction of GO, and finally enhanced the electrical properties of GO films.

In this study, the composite coating materials with improved thermal insulation property were prepared by incorporating the hydrophobic silica aerogel. The surface modification of silica aerogel was performed to obtain UV curable urethane acrylate hybrid coating sols with good compatibility by using surfactant(Brij 56). The polycarbonate substrates were coated by the prepared composites and cured under UV radiation. The incorporation of aerogel with only 10 vol% of content resulted in remarkable improvement by about 28% in the thermal insulation property of the coated film, as compared with substrate. In addition, increasing aerogel content was found to give minor effect on the variation of optical transparency, adhesion, and surface hardness of the coated film.

Recently, the application of paint protection films (PPFs) for automobiles having a self-recovery coating layer has been grown up. In this study, we report the evaluation results on the basic physical properties of a poly(vinyl chloride)- based PPF containing poly(urea-urethane) hybrid self-recovery coating layer. Depending on the main chemical composition and the thickness of poly(urea-urethane)-based coating layer for PPF, the self-recovery performance by an optical microscope and the stain resistance through color difference value are measured. To improve the surface properties and show its easy-cleaning effect against the polluted things, silicone-modified polyacrylate is introduced to the self-recovery coating composition. The contact angle of water on the coated surface is confirmed to show its hydrophobic surface. Finally, accelerated weathering test of paint protection film with poly(urea-urethane) hybrid coating layer is performed to check the possibility of discoloration and deformation due to long-term exposure on harsh condition.

스마트 폰이나 내비게이션, 태블릿 PC, TV 등 디스플레이 소자가 휴대 가능해지고 고급화되면서 빛 반사로 인한 눈부심, 시인성 저하 등에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 디스플레이의 반사방지를 위해 방현성(anti-glare) 및 반사방지(anti-reflection) 특성의 코팅이나 기능성 필름에 대한 연구 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 반사방지 기능 부여를 위해 나방눈(moth-eye) 구조를 모방하여 표면 나노 구조 형상화에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만, 나노 임프린팅 및 리소그라피 공정을 통한 패턴 공정은 마스크나 몰드를 필요하고 대면적 제작에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 폭 300 mm급 롤투롤 이온빔 표면처리를 통해 나노 구조 몰드 필름을 제작하였고, 이형용 수지를 이용한 표면 구조 전사를 통해 모스 아이 구조와 같은 나노 구조 패턴이 전사되는 것을 확인하였다. 나노 구조가 전사된 필름에 대한 투과도 관찰 결과, 전체 투과도 91% 이상으로 투과도가 약 3% 향상되고 반사도는 저하되는 결과를 확인하였다. 롤투롤 장비를 이용하여 대면적 필름 제작이 가능한 것을 확인하였고, 나노패턴의 구조 형성 및 반사방지 기능에 대한 신뢰성 검토를 통해서 양산화 가능할 것이라 전망된다.

Surface properties such as morphology, crystalline structure, and chemical composition of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blend coatings prepared by dispersion coating on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film have been investigated. It was observed that the surface properties were greatly influenced by the coating temperature and blend composition according to SEM, ATR-FTIR and XPS analysis. The typical surface morphology of ${\alpha}$-crystalline structure of PVDF could be observed when the coating temperature was lower than $120^{\circ}C$ or the amount of PVDF was higher than 80 wt% in the blend. Otherwise, the crystalline structure was changed from ${\alpha}$-crystal to ${\gamma}$-crystal or amorphous state. Based on the XPS analysis, the surface segregation of PVDF chains in the blend coating was confirmed.

In order to improve the surface hardness of transparent plastic films, organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The coating solutions were prepared by adding GPTMS (glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane) to a colloidal silica (12 nm) suspension. PC(polycarbonate) substrates were dipped into the coating solutions and dried at room temperature for 10 min before being cured at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The effect of the solution pH and GPTMS content was investigated on the properties of coating films. The pencil hardness and adhesion to substrates of the coating films, prepared at acidic condition (pH 4), showed better properties than those at neutral or basic conditions. Also, the pencil hardness and adhesion to substrates of the coating films increased with increasing GPTMS content.

Barrier films for transparent packaging materials with excellent moisture barrier properties are prepared, utilizing a nanoclay dispersion coating layer formed after a pretreatment process of plasma activation surface treatment process under vacuum at room temperature. Attention is paid on optimizing the coupling additive through the appropriate crosslinking process and optimal dispersion process of the coating process to enhance adhesion. Analysis of the functional coating thin film shows that the water vapor transmission rate is less than 10 g/m²/24 hrs (ASTM F-1249) and the oxygen transmission rate is less than 30 cc/m²/24 hrs (ASTM D3985). It is shown that water barrier properties of coating thin film prepared in this study are greater than conventional untreated films by 10 times or more. The thickness of the transparent gas barrier film is within 0.1 mm, and the transparent gas barrier complex is implemented in two layers. In the study of PET thin film interface characteristics, FT-IR experimental analysis shows the reaction activity was optimized at RDS 1.125 %.
