Graphene is a monolayer of carbon atoms (approximately 0.34 nm), arranged in a honeycomb network. It has been hailed as a next-generation flexible and transparent material because it has high electrical and thermal conductivities, excellent mechanical properties, as well as flexible and transparent properties. The wettability of graphene alters its adhesion or surface energy, and it is therefore an important parameter influencing its application in the fabrication of next-generation flexible and transparent electronics. Studies on the wettability of graphene are numerous and various opinions exist. However, almost all of these studies use the wet transfer method to transfer the graphene. In this study, therefore, we investigated the effect of wet and dry transfer methods on water contact angles of graphene on a substrate. The contact angles of substrates vary depending on the type of substrate. It was found that after graphene is transferred to the substrate, regardless of transfer method, the graphene/substrate contact angle increases to a value. The contact angle of graphene transferred using the dry transfer method is higher than the contact angle of graphene transferred using wet transfer methods. The wet transferred graphene is affected by the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) residue and the polar surface of substrate. The dry transferred graphene is influenced by the conformal contact between graphene and substrate.

Plasma Polymerization를 이용하여 Teflon-like 불화 유기 박막을 Si, $SiO_2$, Al, TEOS 위에 증착하였다. Difluoromethane $(CH_2F_2$)에 Ar, $O_2$, 그리고 $CH_4$를 첨가하여 첨가 가스에 따른 불화 유기 박막의 특성을 평가하였다. 각각의 첨가가스에 대하여 압력, 온도, 그리고 첨가가스의 비율을 변화시켜 박막을 증착하여 정접촉각 통한 표면의 친수성 (hydrophilicity)과 소수성(hydrophobicity) 정도를 관찰하였다. Ar을 첨가한 경우 Ar 첨가량과 power의 증가에 따라 정접촉각의 감소를 관찰하였다. 그러나 증착압력이 증가함에 따라 정접촉각이 증가하였다. Ar 첨가시 2 Torr이상의 증착압력에서 분말형태의 초소수성 불화 유기박막을 얻을 수 있었다. $O_2$를 첨가한 경우, $O_2$의 첨가량과 증착압력이 증가함에 따라 정접촉각은 감소하였다. 약 100W까지의 power에서는 정접촉각은 일정하였지만 power의 증가에 따라 정접촉각은 감소하여 200W에서는 천수성표면을 얻을 수 있었다. $CH_4$를 첨가하여 불화유기박막을 증착하였을 경우 $CH_4/CH_2F_2$비율이 5까지 급격한 증가를 나타내었고, 비율이 5이상인 경우에서는 일정한 정접촉각을 나타내었다. 화학기상증착에 의해 제조된 박막보다 plasma polymerization으로 제작된 불화유기박막이 히스테리시스(hysteresis)가 낮은 불화유기박막을 형성하였다.

An experimental study on the behavior of the water hold-up by condensation of a fin-and-tube heat exchanger with regard to the surface characteristics, i.e., contact angle, was conducted. The static and dynamic contact angles were measured, and condensation experiments were conducted. Flow patterns on the fins with different surface characteristics were visualized. Results showed that the static contact angle is proportional to the dynamic contact angle within the range of this study. The water hold-up of the heat exchanger increases as the static or dynamic contact angle of its surfaces increases. Existence of transition of flow patterns was found as the static or dynamic angle increase. Due to the transition in the flow patterns, changes in the gradient of the water hold-up is occurred around the static angle of 8$0^{\circ}C$.

Free energy based lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been used to simulate the contact angle and the bubble necking with large density ratio. LBM with the proper contact angle model is able to reduce the spurious currents and eliminate the singularity in the contact lines. The numerical results of the contact angles are satisfied with the Youngs law. For bubble necking flows, simulations are executed for various viscosities and contact angles. The phenomena of the bubble necking are simulated successfully and the subsequent results are presented. The present method is also applicable to the nucleate boiling flows.

As demands on the precision bevel gears are increased in the related industry, the exact kinematical investigations of a pair of spherical involute bevel gears are required for the computer aided design. The exact angular velocity ratio based on the characteristics of the spherical involute tooth is derived and verified from the relationship between rotational angles. Elementary kinematics of the gearsets is investigated by applying the transformation of the coordinate systems. The tooth contact lines based on logarithmic tooth-wise curve are examines in three dimentional space. Contact ratio is formulated and simulated according to the system parameters such as shaft angles, pressure angle, and spiral angles. The condition of teeth interference is dervied and the critical numbers of gear teeth are calculated. The whole surface geometry of a spiral bevel gearsets are discretized and visualized by a computer graphic tool.

The superposing angle of the viewing zone forming optics and the display panel in the contact type 3 dimensional imaging systems for minimizing $moir{\acute{e}}s$ is found for a rectangular shape pixel with different aspect ratios. The angles are $26.2609^{\circ}$ for square shape pixels and $13.9858^{\circ}$ for the rectangular with aspect ratio 2. These angles result in the $moir{\acute{e}}s$ with the smallest period for the respective aspect ratio. The effectiveness of the angles is also experimentally demonstrated.

The surface properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were investigated after accelerated weathering. Glossinesses, contact angles, surface free energies, thermal stability, and mechanical properties were investigated. The glossiness of the weathered PMMA was decreased with increasing exposure time. Contact angles and surface free energies were not overtly changed because the amount of oxygen on the surface was remained. PMMA was compounded with anti-block and antistatic agents using a co-rotating twin screw extruder to improve the durability. The PMMA composites showed better glossinesses after accelerated weathering while maintaining the contact angles, surface energy, thermal stability, and mechanical properties without significant changes.

The indirect tensile strengths (ITSs) of different cemented paste backfill mixes with different curing times were determined by considering crack initiation and fracture toughness concepts under different loading conditions of steel loading arcs with various contact angles, flat platens and the standard Brazilian test jaw. Because contact area of the ITS test discs developes rapidly and varies in accordance with the deformability, ITSs of curing materials were not found convenient to determine under the loading apparatus with indefinite contact angle. ITS values increasing with an increase in contact angle can be measured to be excessively high because of the high contact angles resulted from the deformable characteristics of the soft paste backfill materials. As a result of the change of deformation characteristics with the change of curing time, discs have different contact conditions causing an important disadvantage to reflect the strength change due to the curing reactions. In addition to the experimental study, finite element analyses were performed on several types of disc models under various loading conditions. As a result, a comparison between all loading conditions was made to determine the best ITSs of the cemented paste backfill materials. Both experimental and numerical analyses concluded that loading arcs with definite contact angles gives better results than those obtained with the other loading apparatus without a definite contact angle. Loading arcs with the contact angle of $15^{\circ}$ was found the most convenient loading apparatus for the typical cemented paste backfill materials, although it should be used carefully considering the failure cracks for a valid test.

The droplet dynamics in a hydrophilic/hydrophobic microchannel, which is applicable to a typical proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), is studied numerically by solving the equations governing conservation of mass and momentum. The liquid-gas interface or droplet shape is determined by a level set method which is modified to treat contact angles. The matching conditions at the interface are accurately imposed by incorporating the ghost fluid approach based on a sharp-interface representation. The effects of contact angle, inlet flow velocity, droplet size and side wall on the droplet motion are investigated parametrically. Based on the numerical results, the droplet dynamics including the sliding and detachment of droplets is found to depend significantly on the contact angle. Also, a droplet removal process is demonstrated on the combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces.

We investigated the variation in contact angle of a nano-sized water droplet on a nano stripe-patterned surface using molecular dynamics simulation. By changing the height and width of the stripe pillar, and the gap width of the stripes, we observed the contact angle of water droplet in equilibrium. When the surface energies were 0.1 and 0.3 kcal/mol, the calculated contact angles were in good agreement with the Cassie and Baxter equation. However, when the surface energy is 0.5 kcal/mol, the contact angles are observed to be perturbed along the Cassie and Baxter equation.
