Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) or Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) has been used to reduce the use of raw pulp and to improve paper strength. The problem of MFC preparation is high manufacturing cost. In this study, it was carried out to prepare MFC after enzyme beating and estimated properties of MFC. Endo-D was the best beating efficiency among three type of endo-glucanase. As the grinder pass number increased, the viscosity and the fines of MFC suspension increased while the crystallinity and the porosity of MFC sheet decreased. Also enzyme beating MFC was higher value in the crystallinity and lower value in the viscosity than non-enzyme MFC. In addition, the aspect ratio of MFC was the highest at 5 pass. MFC addition improved the handsheet strength and the air permeability but worsened the drainage.

From the combined studies of STM and synchrotron photoemission, it has been found that a $CaF_2$ molecule is dissociated to Ca and F atoms on the $Si(114)-2{\times}1$ held at $500^{\circ}C$ at the initial adsorption stage. The Ca atoms form isolated and unique shapes of silicide molecules as shown in Fig. (a), while the F atoms are desorbed from the surface. On the other hand, beyond a $CaF_2$ coverage of 0.3 monolayer, as shown in Fig. (b), in addition to these silicide molecules, a 1-D facet [composed of (113) and (115) faces] adjacent to an etch pit has been observed, and F atoms are also detected from photoemission. These results imply that F atoms act as an etchant on Si(114) and CaF is adsorbed selectively on the (113) face of this facet. From the present studies, it has been concluded that, an insulating $CaF_2$ layer like that on Si(111) cannot be formed on Si(114), but a CaF-decorated nanofacet with a high aspect-ratio can be grown.

스터퍼링 기술이 1852년 Grove에 의해서 최초 발견되어 1979년 Chapin에 의해서 planar magnetron cathode 개발로 진공코팅기술의 새로운 영역을 열게 되어 현재까지 디스플레이, 반도체, 태양전지, 광학산업 및 전자부품 등 나노 산업에 필수적으로 적용되고 있다. 스퍼터링 입자는 운동량 전달에 의한 것으로 운동량을 갖는 나노 스퍼터링 입자는 기판에 대한 박막의 부착력이 우수하고 대면적에 균일하고 재현성 있게 성막되는 특징을 갖고 있다. 마그네트론 스퍼터링 기술이 산업에 응용되면서 주로 4분야에서 많은 연구, 개발이 되어져 왔다. 첫째는 타겟의 고순도 및 고밀도화와 더불어 가격이 고가로 됨에 따라 타겟 사용효율의 향상이다. 플라즈마를 발생시키는 캐소드의 자기회로를 1차원, 2차원 및 회전운동을 통해서 사용효율을 향상시키고 있다. 둘째는 기판에 대해서 박막특성이 균일하도록 코팅하는 것이다. 디스플레이에서는 글래스 기판이 대면적으로 됨에 따라서 핸들링이 어려워져 여러 개의 캐소드 자기회로를 선형적으로 이동시켜 박막두께분포를 최적화하며 반응성 가스를 사용해서 균일한 특성의 박막을 제작하는 경우에는 가스분사관과 배기펌프계의 기하학적 위치 및 가스 유동학적 해석이 필요하다. 셋째는 스퍼터링 입자의 이온화로 의한 박막의 특성향상과 반도체 trench의 높은 aspect ratio hole을 채우는 것이다. 이온화 방법으로는 inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave amplified (MA), high power impulse (HIPI), hollow cathode magnetron (HCM), self-sustained sputtering 등이 사용되어져 왔으며 최근에는(neutral beam-assisted sputtering (NBAS)에 의한 박막특성향상 방법이 발표되고 있다. 넷째는 플라즈마 및 박막두께 시뮬레이션에 대해서 많은 발표가 되고 있다. 본 발표에서는 상기의 4 분야를 포함한 향후 개발방향에 대해서 소개할 예정이다.

Four different hydroxyapatites (HAP) were prepared by a solvothermal method under different pHs and solvent species. The synthesized hydroxyapatites were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Four HAPs exhibited similar XRD patterns regardless of synthetic conditions. However, the morphology of hydroxyapatites was dependent of pH and solvent species under synthetic condition. The HAP prepared in pH 12 showed an elongated shape along the [001] direction compared to that prepared in pH 8. Also, the morphology of the HAPs synthesized in the presence of methanol and ethanol exhibited the more elongated hexagonal rod shape along the [001] direction with the high aspect ratio.

The resolution of the accelerometer, fabricated with MEMS technology is mainly affected by mechanical and electrical noise. To reduce mechanical noise, we have to increase mass of the structure part and quality factor related with the degree of vacuum packaging. On the other hand, to increase mass of the structure part, the thickness of the structure must be increased and ICP-RIE is used to fabricate the high aspect ratio structure. At this time, footing effect make the sensitivity of the accelerometer decreasing. This paper presents a hybrid SOG(Silicon On Glass) Process to fabricate a lateral silicon accelerometer with differential capacitance sensing scheme which has been designed and simulated. Using hybrid SOG Process, we could make it a real to increase the structural thickness and to prevent the footing effect by deposition of metal layer at the bottom of the structure. Moreover, we bonded glass wafer to structure wafer anodically, so we could realize the vacuum packaging at wafer level. Through this way, we could have an idea of controlling of quality factor.

Double pane window system, in which an air layer with a finite width is filled between glasses, is used in order to increase the insulation efficiency. In the present study, a conjugate heat transfer problem of a double pane window system has been studied numerically in order to investigate the effect of an air layer on the heat transmittance of the double pane window system using a finite element method based on P2P1 basis function. In this study on the conjugate heat transfer of a double pane window system, numerically predicted Nusselt numbers with or without conjugate heat transfer effect have been compared with an available existing empirical formula. It has been found that a Nusselt number from an existing formula for an enclosed space is different from that obtained from the present conjugate heat transfer analysis mainly due to the effects of a very high aspect ratio and conjugate heat transfer mechanism. Furthermore, it has been shown that the numerically estimated optimal air thickness of the double pane window system with conjugate heat transfer effect is a little bit longer than that obtained without considering conjugate heat transfer effect.

The milling and particulate characteristics of Al alloy-$Al_2O_3$ powder mixtures for a reaction-bonded $Al_2O_3$ (RBAO) process were studied. A commercially available prealloyed Al powder with Zn, Mg, Cu and Cr alloying elements (7475 series) was mixed with a calcined sinter-active $Al_2O_3$ powder and then milled in centrifugal milling equipment for ~48 hrs. The Al alloy-$Al_2O_3$ powder mixtures after milling were characterized and evaluated in various ways to reveal their particulate characteristics during milling. The milling efficiency of the Al alloy increased with a longer milling time. Comminution of the Al alloy particles started with its elongation, showing a high aspect ratio. With a longer milling time, the elongated Al alloy particle changed in terms of its shape and size, becoming equiaxially fine particles. Regardless of the milling efficiency of the Al alloy particles, all of the Al alloy particles repeatedly experienced strong plastic deformation during milling, giving rise to higher density of surface defects, such as microcracks, and leading to higher residual microstress within the Al alloy particles. The chemical reactions, oxidation behavior and hydration behavior of the Al alloy particles and the hydrolysis characteristics of their reaction with the environment were also observed during the milling process and during the subsequent powder handling steps.

This paper was designed to fabricate the micro-spur gear by the LIGA and hybrid powder extrusion process. It is important to manufacture a micro-die with a high aspect ratio and determine appropriate extrusion conditions for a microforming. Ni has been used to fabricate micro-dies. LIGA process was capable to produce micro-extrusion dies with close tolerance, longer bearing length and adequate surface quality. Superplastic Al-78Zn powders have the great advantage in achieving deformation under low stresses and exhibiting good micro-formability with average strain rate raging from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-2} s^{-1}$ and constant temperature ranging from 503 to 563K. Al-78Zn powders were compacted into a cylindrical shape ($\Phi3\times$h10mm) under compressive force of 10kN and, subsequently, the compacted powders were extruded by the hybrid powder extrusion process controlling of the temperature holing time for a improvement on formability of Al-22Zn powder. Micro-extrusion has succeeded in forming micro-gear shafts.

In nano-imprint lithography (NIL) process, which has shown to be a good method to fabricate polymeric patterns, several kinds of pattern defects due to thermal effects during polymer flow and mold release operation have been reported. A typical defect in NIL process with high aspect ratio and low resist thickness pattern is a resist fracture during the mold release operation. It seems due to interfacial adhesion between polymer and mold. However, in the present investigation, FEM simulation of NIL molding process was carried out to predict the defects of the polymer pattern and to optimize the process by FEA. The embossing operation in NIL process was investigated in detail by FEM. From the analytical results, it was found that the lateral flow of polymer resin and the applied pressure in the embossing operation induce the weld line and the drastic lateral strain at the edge of pattern. It was also shown that the low polymer-thickness result in the delamination of polymer from the substrate. It seems that the above phenomena cause the defects of the final polymer pattern. To reduce the defect, it is important to check the initial resin thickness.
