Many studies of microdroplet evaporation from solid surfaces were made with priority given to inkjet printing and dye painting techniques. The objective of these studies is how to evaporate a droplet quickly and uniformly. Also it is necessary to prevent evaporation of a droplet to observe cells in a droplet generated through cell-patterning. In general, an identical volume of a water droplet on hydrophobic surfaces evaporates slower than that on hydrophilic surfaces. In this study, we observe the evaporation process of a droplet on various hydrophobic surfaces and calculated the evaporation rate considering the droplet geometry such as contact angle and height. This study also proposes a new model based on the fact that evaporation mode at the edge of a droplet is different from that at the outer surface of a droplet as the contact angle changes during evaporation. Finally, we reveal the cause fur the increase of evaporation flux and show that the ratio of edge evaporation to total evaporation increases with time.

The flow in a nanopore of filtration membrane is often multiscale and consists of both the adsorbed layer flow and the intermediate continuum fluid flow. There is a controversy on which interface the slippage should occur in the nanopore filtration: On the adsorbed layer-pore wall interface or on the adsorbed layer-continuum fluid interface? What is the difference between these two slippage effects? We address these subjects in the present study by using the multiscale flow equations incorporating the slippage on different interfaces. Based on the limiting shear strength model for the slippage, it was found from the calculation results that for the hydrophobic pore wall the slippage surely occurs on the adsorbed layer-pore wall interface, however for the hydrophilic pore wall, the slippage can occur on either of the two interfaces, dependent on the competition between the interfacial shear strength on the adsorbed layer-pore wall interface and that on the adsorbed layer-continuum fluid interface. Since the slippage on the adsorbed layer-pore wall interface can be designed while that on the adsorbed layer-continuum fluid interface can not, the former slippage can result in the flux through the nanopore much higher than the latter slippage by designing a highly hydrophobic pore wall surface. The obtained results are of significant interest to the design and application of the interfacial slippage in nanoporous filtration membranes for both improving the flux and conserving the energy cost.

본 연구에서는 소수성 표면의 막을 친수화시키는 방법으로 기존의 방법(브렌딩, 화학적처리 및 post-irradiation에 의한 광조사법)의 단점을 극복하기 위해 주고분자에 전자빔을 전조사하는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구 제조공정은 4부분으로 구성되며 첫째로 주고분자를 전자빔을 이용하여 수증기 및 공기조건하에서 전조사함으로써 친수기를 도입하는 전구체의 제조공정, 이를 이용하여 도프을 제조하는 도프용액 제조공정, 도프용액을 부직포 위에 캐스팅 하는 캐스팅 공정, 마지막으로 비용매에 침적하여 응고시켜 분리막을 형성시키는 분리막 제조공정으로 이루어진다. 이렇게 제조된 분리막은 기존의 친수화 방법을 통하여 얻어진 다공 분리막에 비하여 보다 균일한 형태의 친수화가 가능하며, 제조공정의 단순화를 꾀할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이를 수행하기 위해 소수성 고분자인 polyvinylidene f1uoride (PVDF)를 75~125 K Gray 범위 선량의 전자빔 (electron beam, EB) 조사하여 전구체를 제조하였다. 제조된 전구체는 FTIR, EDS, DSC 등에 의해 친수기의 도입 및 도입경로를 확인한 결과, 하이드록실기가 친수성기로 도입되었고, 도입경로로는 주쇄의 탈수소화 반응경로에 의해 이루어진 것으로 추론 할 수 있었다. 제조막의 친수화는 접촉각 측정을 통하여 평가하였다.(pristine PVDF로 제조된 막의 접촉각은 약 $62^{\circ}$ 125 K Gray-PVDF로 제조된 막의 접촉각은 $13^{\circ}$). 또한 제조된 PVDF 다공막의 다공성도를 수은압입측정을 통하여 평가하였으며 SEM 이미지를 통하여 몰폴로지 및 표변 공경싸이즈를 관찰하였다. 그들의 결과는 전자빔의 선량이 높게 조사된 PVDF전구체를 사용한 막일수록 공경의 크기 및 다공도(pristine PVDF : 82%, 125 K Gray-PVDF : 63%)가 감소되고 있음을 나타내었다. 순수 투과실험에서도 동일한 경향을 나타내어 pristine PVDF의 경우는 892 LMH, 125 K Gray-PVDF의 경우는 355 LMH의 결과를 얻었다.

Hydrophilic $SiO_2$ layers were obtained by the atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment. Superhydrophobic $SiO_2$ layers were first deposited by the electrospray deposition method. The electrospunable solution that was prepared based on the solgel method was sprayed on Si (100) substrates. The surface of the electrosprayed $SiO_2$ layers consisted of the agglomeration of nano-sized grains, which led to a very high roughness and revealed a very high contact angle to water droplets over $162^{\circ}$. After having been exposed to the atmospheric $Ar/O_2$ plasma, the observed superhydrophobicity of the $SiO_2$ layers were greatly changed: a dramatic variation of the water contact angle from $162^{\circ}$ to $3^{\circ}$, namely realization of superhydrophillicity. Interestingly, the surface microstructure was almost preserved. According to the XPS analysis, it is more likely that thanks to the plasma exposure, the surface of $SiO_2$ layers will be cleaned in terms of organic species that are hydrophobic-inducing, consequently leading to the hydrophilic nature observed for the plasma-exposed $SiO_2$ layers.

There is a growing interest to develop a new cleaning technology to overcome the disadvantages of wet cleaning technologies such as environmental pollution and the cleaning difficulty of contaminants on integrated circuits. Laser cleaning is a potential technology to remove various pollutants on a wafer surface. However, there is no fundamental data about cleaning efficiencies and cleaning mechanisms of contaminants on a wafer surface using a laser cleaning technology. Therefore, the cleaning characteristics of a wafer surface using an excimer laser were investigated in this study. Fingerprint consisting of inorganic and organic materials was chosen as a representative of pollutants and the effectiveness of a laser irradiation on a wafer cleaning has been investigated qualitatively and quantitatively. The results have shown that cleaning degree is proportional to the laser irradiation time and repetition rate, and quantitative analysis conducted by an image processing method also have shown the same trend. Furthermore, the cleaning efficiency of a wafer contaminated by fingerprint strongly depended on a photothermal cleaning mechanism and the species were removed in order of hydrophilic and hydrophobic contaminants by laser irradiation.

An 80 nm thick zinc aluminate thin film was deposited on a glass substrate via radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering and heat treated to analyze changes in the wetting angles due to a surface modification. The thin films were modified from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by a simple thermal treatment. The surface modification from a heat treatment increased the wetting angles up to 111°, which was explained by the relationship with the excess surface area. The wetting angles of the annealed thin films decreased with increasing exposure time under ambient conditions, which was attributed to the oxygen vacancies in the films that were introduced during deposition. The annealed thin films were treated by ionized oxygen via oxygen plasma. After the oxygen plasma treatment, the decreased wetting angles were maintained at ~95° for 11 days.

A biosurfactant-producing bacterial strain was selected from diesel-contaminated soil by measuring the oil-film collapsing activity and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa D2D2. When glucose and olive oil were used as carbon sources, 11.46 g/1 of biosurfactant was obtained. Based on TLC analysis, the biosurfactant produced from P. aeruginosa D2D2 was identified as a glycolipid, consisting of two types of biosurfactants (Type I and Type II). The purified glycolipid reduced the surface tension of the culture from 72 dyne/cm to 27 dyne/cm. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic moiety of the biosurfactant were rhamnose and ${\beta}$-hydroxydecanoic acid, as determined by FAB-MS and NMR analyses, respectively.

This study evaluated a simple and useful route to the synthesis of mesoporous $TiO_2$ microcapsules with a hollow macro-core structure. A hydrophilic precursor sol containing the surfactants in the hydrophobic solvents was deposited on PMMA polymer surfaces modified by non-thermal plasma to produce mesoporous shells after calcination. The surface of the PMMA polymer spheres was coated with $NH_4F$ and CTAB to control the interfacial properties and promote the subsequent deposition of inorganic sols. These hollow type mesoporous $TiO_2$ microcapsules could be applied as an efficient substrate for the immobilization of DNA oligonucleotides.
