For the modification of PET surface, Perfluoropropene and Methyl alcohol were LT-plasma polymerized on the PET fabrics as thin films by means of 13.56 MHz radio frequency generator. The surface properties of PET fabrics were modified from hydrophobic to hydrophilic by application of the postplasma reaction of thin films. The evidence of the modification was identified by observation of the presence of hydroxy group in IR spectrum and the evaluation of degree of hydrophilicity was performed by measuring frictional static voltage of PET fabric with cotton fabric. For the case of modification by PFP, the result performed at the condition of 25 W, 70 m torr has shown to be effective, and for MeOH, result performed at the condition of 25 W, 100 m torr effective. The effect of hydrophilic surface modification of MeOH plasma polymer was superior to that of PFP-plasma polymer.

Steel tire cords were coated via RF Plasma Polymerization of acetylene in order to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds. Adhesion of tire cords was measured by TACT as a function of plasma polymerization and argon etching conditions such as power, treatment time and chamber pressure. Tested tire cords were analysed by SEM to elucidate the adhesion mechanism. The highest adhesion values were obtained with argon etching condition at 90W, 10min, 30mtorr followed by acetylene plasma polymerization condition at 10W, 30sec., 30mtorr. In SEM analysis, the plasma polymerized tire cord at the optimized condition showed 100% rubber coverage as observed from brass-plated steel tire cords.

This study investigates pulp chamber temperature rise during composite resin polymerization by plasma arc(Group III : Flipo 3 sec, Group IV : Flipo 5 sec) and LED curing units(Group V : Lux-O-Max, 40 sec) as well as conventional halogen lamp curing units(Group I : VIP mode3, 20 sec, Group II : VIP mode6, 20 sec). The results are as follows : 1. All of the investigated pulp chamber temperature rises are lower than the boundary temperature could result in irreversible damage to the pulpal tissue ($5.5^{\circ}C$). 2. In the group II, it is found the significantly higher pulp chamber temperature rise than any other groups(p<0.05). 3.

Composite membranes were prepared for membrane/cold condensation process for recovery of unreacted olefin monomer from the polyolefin polymerization process by solution coating and plasma polymerization processes. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) solution was coated on polysulfone (PSF) support and increase of prepolymer content in solution made more dense membrane structure to result in the increase of separation factor while absolute flux decreased. Permeation of organic materials through the composite membranes follows the sorption and diffusion mechanism, which brought about the results that separation factor increased with critical temperature of the organic materials, and that flux increased with the increase of the molar volume. Crosslinking period affected the permeation characteristics. Other types of composite membranes were fabricated by plasma polymerization of siloxane materials on polypropylene (PP) and PSF supports. PP was tested as a support for composite membranes, which had not been used so far in solution coating process, and plasma polymerization made the composite membranes equivalent performances to those of membranes prepared by solution coating process.

Fresh water is an important resource for humans, and pressure-driven membrane technology has been widely known as an energy-efficient method to obtain water resource. However, membrane fouling phenomenon, which is one of the major issue during operation, deteriorates membrane permeability. These fouling is usually affected by interaction between surface of membrane and various foulants, therefore, modification of membrane's surface is one of the methods to improve fouling-resistance. This review focuses on the method to modify surface of pressure-driven membranes such as microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO). Specifically, there are two different surface modification methods: (1) adsorption and coating as the physical modification methods, (2) cross-linker, free radical polymerization (FRP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), plasma/UV-induced polymerization as the chemical modification methods. This review introduces the physico - chemical surface modification methods reported in recent papers and suggests research directions for membrane separation which can increase membrane fouling resistance.

The purpose of this thesis is to fabricate the hexamethyldisiloxane thin film by plasma polymerization method, and to investigate the electric conduction characteristics of plasma polymerized thin film. Current density was measured in being changed annealing temperature(room temperature${\sim}125[^{\circ}C]$) and electric field intensity($10^5{\sim}1.2{\times}10^6$[V/cm]). The current density of thin films fabricated at discharge power of $30{\sim}90$[W] showed $1.3{\times}10^{-11}{\sim}3.1{\times}10^{-12}[A/cm^2]$ after 10 minutes of permission of electric field. The current density increased gradually with increasing of annealing temperature and electric field intensity. The electric conduction type of thin films fabricated in discharge power of 90[W] agreed with Schottky type.

Glass beads (GBs) were modified via plasma polymerization coatings in order to enhance the adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cigarette smoke and activated carbons (ACs) were also utilized for comparative purposes. First, GBs and ACs were subjected to surface modification via plasma polymerization coating of acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, 1,3-diaminopropane, thiophene or dimethylphosphite with a RF plasma (13.56 MHz) generator. Next, their adsorption behavior was evaluated with a home-made 4-port smoking machine by collecting the total particulate matters (TPMs) on a Cambridge filter pad, followed by the separation of PAHs via solid phase extraction and analysis with GC/MS. Finally, the plasma polymerization coatings were analyzed by FT-IR/ATR to elucidate the adsorption mechanism, while the topology of the modified GBs and ACs were studied by FE-SEM.

The Thin films were obtained by plasma polymerization of phenyl isothiocyanate. Polymerizations were carried out in rf(13.56 [MHz]) glow discharge generated in an inter-electrode capacitively coupled gas flow system. It was fecund that this monomer produces uniform films with a wide range of thicknesses, from hundreds of nanometers to tens of micrometers. The deposition rate appeared to be dependent on the substrate distance from the monomer inlet. The IR data revealed significant decrease in -NCS groups content in the polymer as compared with the monomer spectrum and indicated for the appearance of new absorption bands corresponding to the -CN and C-H aliphatic groups. The soluble fraction by GC was found to be composed of numerous low molecular-weight compounds.

Polymer thin films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) plasma polymerization of phthalic anhydride (PA). First, monomer vaporization temperature ($100{\sim}160^{\circ}C$) was optimized by evaluating the thermal properties of thin films using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and measuring the root-mean-square (RMS) roughness with atomic force microscope (AFM) at the fixed plasma power of 10 W and time of 5 min in a continuous-wave (CW) mode. Plasma power (5~20 W) was then optimized by measuring the film solubility in solvents such as toluene, acetone, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and 1 methylpyrrolidine (NMP). Next, pulsed mode plasma polymerization was also studied by varying the duty cycle of on-time (5, 20%) under optimized conditions of continuous-wave (CW) mode ($120^{\circ}C$, 10 W) in order to increase the anhydride functional groups. Finally, polymer thin films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and ${\alpha}$-step.
