In this study, we developed a method to predict the residual stress distribution and thermal deformation caused by in-mold labeling (IML) processes. IML is one of the injection molding processes for injecting a material into a cavity and subsequently inserting a decorated film. The IML process can yield products with decorations of outstanding excellent quality in only one working step. Although the IML process has various advantages, it causes defects such as film delamination, wash-out, and flow marks. In particular, deformation is considered to be a major concern in terms of delamination. To validate the model, the deformation predicted by using a numerical model was compared with experimental results, and both results showed good agreement. We verified that the developed method can be used to obtain the design guidelines for preventing delamination in the initial design stage of the IML process.

In this paper we show that the photoresist-protective film of a printed circuit board (PCB) can be delaminated from the underlying photoresist layer by a single pulse of a nanosecond laser at 532 nm. After locally peeling the edge of the PCB with a laser beam of 9 mm size, Scotch tape was attached to the irradiated region to peel off the whole protective film. For a certain range of pulse energies the peeling probability was 100%, without leaving any damage. Since the use of a laser in initial delamination is noncontact and nondamaging, it may be more efficiently utilized in the PCB industry than the conventional knurling method based on mechanical pressing.

Recently, the effort is continuously applied in machine learning and deep learning algorithm which is represented as artificial intelligence algorithm in the varies field such as prediction, classification and clustering. In this paper, we propose detection algorithm for un-peeling status of PCB protection film by using Dectron2. We use 42 images of data as training and 19 images of data as testing based on 61 images which was taken under the condition of a critical reflection angel of 42.8°. As a result, we get 16 images that was detected and 3 images that was not detected among 19 images of testing data.

This paper reports a novel method for simultaneous exfoliation of graphene and dispersion of carbon nanotube by using intercalation method. In common, graphene flake and carbon nanotubes can be produced through individual exfoliation or debundling process, but the process require significant amount of time. Here, potassium sodium tartrate was thermally intercalated into graphite and carbon nanotube bundle for simultaneous exfoliation and dispersion of graphene and carbon nanotubes. We confirmed expansion of interlayer distance via XRD, and also found that oxidation level of the exfoliated materials were significantly low (below 8.3 at%). The produced materials are fabricated in to conductive composite film via vacuum filtration and spray deposition to show enhancement of conductive properties.

폴리이미드 필름 위에 습식도금으로 형성된 구리피막에서 시효처리 시간에 따른 박리강도의 변화를 실험적으로 확인하였다. 그 결과, 시효처리 4시간까지 큰 변화가 없다가 4시간부터 10시간 사이에서 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 시효처리 시간에 따른 박리강도 증가의 원인을 구리-폴리이미드 사이 계면 및 구리도금 피막 자체의 특성 변화의 관점에서 해석하였다.

Biodegradable polyurethane (PU)/clay nanocomposite films were prepared via extrusion compounding process followed by casting film process. Organically modified montmorillonite (denoted as C30B) with a large amount of hydroxyl groups on its surface was used for the formation of strong bonding with PU resin. From both XRD analysis and TEM observations, the intercalated and exfoliated structure, and dispersion state of silicate platelets in the compounded nanocomposite films were confirmed. In addition, the rheological and tensile properties, optical transparency, oxygen permeability of the prepared nanocomposites were investigated as a function of added nanoclay content, and moreover based on these results, the corelation between the morphology and the resulting properties of the nanocomposites could be presented. The inclusion of nanoclays at appropriate content resulted in remarkable improvement in the nanocomposite performance including tensile modulus, elongation, transparency, and oxygen barrier property, however at excess amount of nanoclays, reduction or very slight increase was observed due to poor dispersion. The biodegradability of the prepared nanocomposite film was evaluated by examining the deterioration in the barrier and tensile properties during degradation period under compost.

Ternary phased graphene/silica/EVOH nanocomposite coating materials were prepared via sol-gel process and solution blending process. From both SEM observations and XRD analysis, the exfoliated structure and dispersion state of graphene nanosheets and silica particles in the nanocomposites as well as the intercalated and exfoliated structure of the prepared graphene oxide were confirmed. The incorporation of GrO and silica at appropriate content resulted in remarkable improvement in oxygen barrier property of the ternary phased nanocompoiste-coated BOPP films, compared with that of binary(silica/EVOH) phased nanocomposite coating films, however, at excess amount of GrO and silica, very slight variation was observed due to incomplete exfoliation, dispersion of graphene tactoids, and formation of micro cracks in the silica clusters. In addition, the transparency of nanocomposite-coated film was investigated by measuring the light transmittance as a function of GrO contents, suggesting the possibility for the application of food packaging films.

We investigated the stability of the DLC film coated on 304 stainless steel substrate by Radio frequency assisted chemical vapor deposition method. Fracture and spallation behaviour of the coating was observed during micro-tensile test of the fil $m_strate composite. As the tensile deformation progressed, the cracks of the film were observed in the perpendicular direction to the tensile axis. Further deformation resulted in the plastic deformation with $45^{\circ}$ slip bands on the substrate surface. Spallation of the film occurred with the plastic deformation, which was initiated at the cracks of the film and was aligned along the slip directions. We found that both the cracking and the spallation behaviors are strongly dependent on the pre-treatment condition, such as Ar plasma pre-treatment. The spallation of the film was considerably suppressed in an optimized condition of the substrate cleaning by Ar glow discharge. We observed the improved stability with increasing duration of Ar plasma pre-treatment.nt.

Due to material-specific vulnerabilities, the surfaces of the liquid crystal glasses used in mobile phones can crack easily, with even the smallest cracks undergoing propagation. To protect the glass surfaces, films are attached to the surfaces during the mobile phone production process. However, after machining the liquid crystal, removal of the film on the liquid crystal surface using chemical and mechanical methods is required. In this research, a peeling apparatus was developed for removing the films attached to liquid crystal surfaces during the production process. Mechanical attachment and design automation through experimentation and finite element modelling were performed to confirm the validity of the design.
