Perfluoropolyether(PFPE) has been widely applied in industry because of its very excellent properties of very high contact angle and low surface energy, good lubricant property and antifouling property. But the difficulty to synthesize PFPE has limited the research on this field. In this study, the novel silicon-containing oligomer with perfluoropolyether moiety was synthesized, and the structure was characterized by $^{19}F$-NMR and $^1H$-NMR. The surface properties of contact angle, sliding angle, and soil release property were investigated. The results show that PFPE in this study can be utilized as an anti-smudge coating material because it shows lower sliding angle and better soil release property than commercial products.

We fabricated thin films of polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate)(PS -b-PMMA) on the self-assembled monolayers(SAM) of 3-(p-methoxyphenyl)propyltrichlorosilane(MPTS) on silicon wafers. Cylindrical nanodomains of PMMA or PS were oriented perpendicular to the surface of silicon wafers due to the neutral affinity of the SAM to PS and PMMA blocks. By selective removal of the PMMA block with UV irradiation and washing, nanoporous films and nanorod assemblies were produced. The nanoporous film can be used for a nanolithographical mask.

End hall type 이온건을 이용하여 다층 다이아몬드상 차본(DLC) 필름을 M2 steel 기판 위에 합성하였다. 다충 다이아몬드상 카본 필름은 순수 DLC 필름과 실라콘 함유 D DLC 필름의 조합으로 구성되어 있으며, $C_6H_6$ 및 수소 희석된 30% 를 사용하여 증착 하였다. 생성된 DLC 박막의 조성은 $C_6H_6$과 $SiH_4$ 가스의 비를 조절함으로써 변화시켰으며, 250 kHz의 고주파 전원을 바이어스 전원으로 사용하여 박막의 물성을 변화시켰다. DLC 박막의 두께와 다층의 구조 및 종류(2충, 4충)는 코팅 공정의 실험 변수로서 변화시켰다. 직경 3 mm의 루비볼을 사용하여 ball-on-disk 방식으로 마모 시험을 행하였으며, 하중은 490 g, 500 rpm에서 상대습도를 5 % 이하와 80 % 이상으로 변화시켜가며 시행하였다. 100,000 cycle 회전 후 측정된 시편의 마모상태는 5 % 이하의 습 도에서 4층 구조의 박막이 2충 구조의 박막보다 2배 이상 낮은 마모률을 보였으며 그 값은 각각 $2~3{\times}\;10^{-8}\;\textrm{mm}^3/rev$와 $1~2{\times}\;10^{-7}\;\textrm{mm}^3/rev$로 나타내었다. 80% 이상의 습도에서도 마모률의 변화는 저습에서의 경우와 유사하였다. 또한 Si함유 DLC 다층 박막이 저습 및 고습에서 더욱 안정한 마찰 마모 거동을 보였다.

The effectiveness of CuSCN as a hole injection layer in large-area organic light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and thin-film transistors has been well demonstrated. Therefore, in this study, the surface, optical, and electrical analyses of CuSCN were carried out according to the solution process conditions in order to propose optimized film conditions. Various CuSCN solution concentrations were prepared to determine the film surface characteristics and to determine whether the film surface affects the electrical performance of the device. When the CuSCN solution concentration was low, the CuSCN film was not formed and coated in the form of islands, and when the solution concentration was increased, the CuSCN film was formed uniformly, which contributed to improving the conductivity of the device. In addition, a hole-only device was fabricated to demonstrate the role of CuSCN as a hole transport layer.

We successfully coated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS) on CVD graphene by adding poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to PEDOT : PSS. Extensive studies on the wettability of coating solutions and electrical properties of formed films led us to conclude that PVA with 89% of the degree of saponification and the molecular weight of less than $100,000gmol^{-1}$ produced optimum results. Furthermore, the optimum content of PVA was found to be 5% of PEDOT : PSS by the solid weight. The film coated by PEDOT : PSS with PVA on CVD graphene displayed a conspicuous improvement in the surface roughness, adhesive property, bending durability and stability in resistance at $160^{\circ}C$, compared to those of using CVD graphene films.

In this study, we investigated interaction of Schwann cells (SCs) with various cell-adhesive coated polymer surface. We used cell-adhesives that like a fibronectin (FN), fibrinogen(FG), laminin(LM), vitronectin (VN), poly-D-Iysine (PDL), and poly-L-Iysine (PLL) to coat PLGA film surface and evaluated the surface property of coated or not PLGA films by measurement of water contact angle and ESCA. SCs were cultured on coated or non-coated PLGA film surface, and then examined the cell adhesion and proliferation by cell count and SEM observation. Cell count results revealed initial cell adhesion related to protein adsorption on PLGA surface. In addition, serum content in media related to cell proliferation rate. In this result, we recognized that adhesion and proliferation of SCs were affected by specific cell-adhesives. In these results, we recognized that is important to provide the suitable surface environment according to cell types and culture condition for improvement of cell adhesion and proliferation.

It is essential to employ a binder to prepare transparent films from conductive polymer such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS). In this paper, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), and PSS were selected as a binder, and their effects were investigated. The formation of the film was found to be primarily dependent on the surface tension of coating solution including PEDOT/PSS and a binder. When PSS was used as a binder, the film was not formed. In case of using PVP, it was easily peeled off from the substrate. However, when using the PVA or the mixtures of PVA and PSS or PVA and PVP as a binder, films with good transparency and uniform surface resistances were produced. Based on adhesion and long-term stability tests, we concluded that the mixture of PVA and PSS is the best binder for preparing antistatic films of PEDOT/PSS.

PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) 타겟을 RF 스퍼터링에 의하여 Si 기판과 슬라이드 글라스에 코팅하였다. PTFE의 기초 실험조건으로 타겟 건 파워, 공정시간, 압력 및 바이어스 파워를 변화시켰다. PTFE 필름의 특성은 조건별 두께를 비교하였고, 분광광도계에 의한 투과도를 측정하였다. PTFE의 발수 특성과 스퍼터링 공정 조건을 확인하고자 접촉각 측정을 실시하였다. 타겟 건의 파워 및 시간에 따라 증착속도의 차이가 있었으며, 광학적인 투과도에서도 변화가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 발수특성을 나타내는 PTFE의 스퍼터링에 의한 접촉각 측정을 통해 다양한 조건별 접촉각 특성을 확인하였다.

최근 자동차 성능 및 연비향상을 위해서 엔진의 고출력화 및 소형화 경향이 뚜렷해지고 있으며, 이로 인해 엔진내부의 부품이 받는 환경은 더욱 가혹해 지고 있다. 즉, 자동차 엔진 구동부품은 금속간의 접촉가능성이 매우 높은 경계윤활조건에 놓이게 되며, 또한 배기가스 규제로 인한 첨가제를 최소화 하려는 경향에 따라 경계윤활 환경에서 더욱 심한 마모문제에 직면할 것으로 예상되어 내구성 및 내마모성이 높은 코팅기술에 대한 요구가 더욱 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Zr기지의 비정질 형성능을 갖는 합금계를 이용하여 아르곤 및 질소분위기에서 스퍼터링 함으로써 고경도의 ZrN상과 엔진오일과 반응하여 저마찰 트라이보 필름을 형성시킬 수 있는 금소계 원소가 Tissue phase로 존재하는 질화물 나노박막합성기술을 개발한 후 자동차 구동부품인 벨브트레인계 및 피스톤링/라이너 부품에 적용하여 마찰특성을 평가하였다.

This work focuses on the effects of crack free friction on Mode II stress intensity factors, $K_{II}$, for a vertical surface crack in a two-dimensional finite element model of TiN/steel subject to rolling contact. Results indicate that maximum $K_{II}$ values, which occur when the load is adjacent to the crack, may be significantly reduced in the presence of crack face friction. The reduction is more significant for thick coatings than for thin. Crack extension and increased layer thickness result in increased $K_{II}$ values. The effect of crack face friction on compressive $K_I$ values appears negligible. Comparative results are presented for $MoS_2/steel$ and diamond-like carbon(DLC)/Ti systems.
