Stain removal on ivory has been, for a long time, considered an undesirable treatment in conservation field because ivory is hygroscopic and anisotropic, having different physical properties in different directions. Cyclododecane, which sublimes at room temperature, has been investigated for its use in conservation field since 1995, as a reversible temporary consolidant, sealing agent or coating, water repellent, and barrier layer. This research aims to remove stains on ivory, temporarily protecting the none-stained area or painted area from methanol, acetone or the aqueous cleaning system using cyclododecane as a hydrophobic sealing agent. This research also aims to obtain information regarding whether cyclododecane can be safely and effectively used on archaeological wet ivory. Melted cyclododecane and saturated solutions of cyclododecane in mineral spirits, and hexanes were applied to ivory samples. Application methods, working properties of cyclododecane on ivory, and effect of cyclododecane coating on moisture content of wet ivory were evaluated. The sealing layer formed by molten cyclododecane or by saturated cyclododecane solution in hexane or saturated cyclododecane solution in mineral spirits did not form a secure contact with the surface of the highly polished ivory. The sealing formed with two different layers, in which saturated cyclododecane solution in hexane was applied initially and then molten cyclododecane was applied over the first layer, was found to securely protect the painted area. When the wet samples were kept in 100% RH environments for a month, active mold growths were observed except in the samples sealed with molten cyclododecane. In conclusion, cyclododecane was an efficient hydrophobic sealing agent to protect painting area while cleaning stains on ivory. It also prevented mold growing on wet ivory and wet bone. Evenness of cyclododecane film on ivory will be determined in UV light. Analytical techniques will include visual observation, polarized light microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscope, and Gas Chromatography.

일반적인 포토리소그래피를 사용하지 않고 마이크로미터 혹은 나노미터 단위의 패턴형성을 위한 연구가 최근 많은 연구그룹에 의해 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 패턴이 형성된 polydimelthylsiloxane (PDMS) 몰드를 octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) 용액에 dipping 하여 PDMS 표변에 OTS 단분자막을 형성하고 micro contact printing (${\mu}-CP$) 방법으로 OTS 단분자 막을 유리기판 표면위로 전사하였다. 전사된 OTS 단분자막은 친수성 유리기판 위에서 소수성 표면특성을 갖게 하며, 친수성은 용액 속에 dipping 하였을 때 소수성 표면 위에는 코팅되지 않도록 한 이 방법을 이용하여 유리기판 위에 Ag 패턴을 형성하였다. 또한, 세척직후 친수성 표면 특성을 보이는 유리기판의 시간에 따른 접촉각 측정을 통해 표면에너지의 변화를 분석하였다.

An excellent hydrophobic surface has a high contact angle over 147 degree and the contact angle hysteresis below $5^0$ was produced by using roughness combined with hydrophobic PTFE coatings, which were also confirmed to exhibit an extreme adhesion to glass substrate. To form the rough surface, the glass was etched by Ar-plasma. A very thin PTFE film was coated on the plasma etched glass surface. Roughness factors before or after PTFE coating on the plasma etched glass surface, based on Wensel's model were calculated, which agrees well with the dependence of the contact angle on the roughness factor is predicted by Wensel's model. The PTFE films deposited on glass by using a conventional rf-magnetron sputtering. The glass substrates were etched Ar-plasma prior to the deposition of PTFE. Their hydrophobicities are investigated for application as a anti-fouling coating layer on the screen of displays. It is found that the hydrophobicity of PTFE films mainly depends on the sputtering conditions, such as rf-power, Ar gas content introduced during deposition. These conditions are closely related to the deposition rate or thickness of PTFE film. Thus, it is also found that the deposition rate or the film thickness affects sensitively the geometrical morphology formed on surface of the rf-sputtered PTFE films. In particular, 1,950-nm-thick PTFE films deposited for 30 minute by rf-power 50 watt under Ar gas content of 20 sccm shows a very excellent optical transmittance and a good anti-fouling property and a good durability.

Similar to the superhydrophobic surfaces of lotus leaf, water strider leg is attributed to hierarchical structure of micro pillar and nano-hair coated with low surface energy materials, by which water strider can run and even jump on the water surface. In order to mimick its leg, many effort, especially, on the fabrication of nanohairs has been made using several methods such as a capillarity-driven molding and lithography using poly(urethane acrylate)(PUA). However most of those effort was not so effective to create the similar structure due to its difficulty in the fabrication of nanoscale hairy structures with hydrophobic surface. In this study, we have selected a low surface energy polymeric material of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, or Teflon) assisted with surface modification of CF4 plasma treatment followed by hydrophobic surface coating with pre-cursor of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). It was found that the plasma energy and duration of CF4 treatment on PTFE polymer could control the aspect ratio of nano-hairy structure, which varying with high aspect ratio of more than 20 to 1, or height of over 1000nm but width of 50nm in average. The water contact angle on pristine PTFE surface was measured as approximately $115^{\circ}$. With nanostructures by CF4 plasma treatment and hydrophobic coating of HMDSO film, we made a superhydrophobic nano-hair structure with the wetting angle of over $160^{\circ}C$. This novel fabrication method of nanohairy structures has been applied not only on 2-D flat substrate but also on 3-D substrates like wire and cylinder, which is similarly mimicked the water strider's leg.

폴리염화비닐(polyvinylchloride, PVC)-tetrahydrofuran (THF) 용액에 PVC 비용매의 첨가와 박막 건조 공정이 PVC 박막에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 사용된 비용매는 알코올과 비알코올계로 구성되었으며, 첨가에 따른 PVC 박막의 표면 거칠기와 표면 형상의 차별성에 따른 소수성 성질을 비교하였다. PVC-THF 용액 제조과정에 발생하는 용액 내 기포 함유가 박막의 표면 구조에 미치는 영향이 큼을 확인하였다. 상대적인 고농도 PVC-THF 용액에서 코팅 박막의 정상적 표면 물성을 구현하기 위하여 적절한 박막 건조법의 선택이 요구된다. 알코올계 비용매를 첨가할 경우 과립형 형상의 다공성 표면을 갖는 PVC 박막이 얻어져 초소수성 특성을 보인다. 비용매에 대한 PVC-THF 용액의 부피 비는 코팅 박막의 표면 형상에 영향을 주며, 비용매 첨가량이 많을수록 초소수성 PVC 박막을 형성하는 데 유리하다.

고분자 마이크로니들은 몰딩 공정으로 쉽고 저렴하게 생산할 수 있지만 3차원 고분자 마이크로 구조체에 수용액 기반의 약물 코팅은 어려움이 있다. 2차원 형태의 평면 금속 마이크로니들에 약물을 코팅한 기존의 코팅 마이크로니들과 비교하여 볼 때 3차원 구조의 고분자 마이크로니들은 코팅 면적이 2배 넓고 단위면적당 마이크로니들의 수를 크게 증가시킴으로써 두 배 이상의 약물을 경피를 통해 전달할 수 있다. 증점제와 계면활성제 첨가 방법의 경우 2차원의 평면에는 균일한 코팅을 얻을 수 있었지만 3차원 구조의 고분자 마이크로니들 표면에서는 만족할 코팅을 얻지 못했다. 하지만, 고분자 마이크로니들 표면을 금속 코팅 혹은 UV/ozone으로 처리한 경우 3차원의 마이크로 니들 표면에 만족할 코팅을 얻을 수 있었으나 금속 코팅의 경우 피부에 찌르고 제거하는 과정에서 금속이 피부 안에 남는 안전성 문제가 있어 UV/ozone을 최종 표면 처리 방법으로 선정하였다. 이렇게 처리한 고분자 마이크로니들 표면에 calcein이 첨가된 코팅물질로 코팅된 마이크로니들은 15분 이상의 피부 투여로 코팅물질을 성공적으로 진피층까지 전달할 수 있었다.

Paraloid B-72 of acrylic resins has been widely used as consolidant for bronze artifacts conservation. In previous study, xylene was appropriate for paraloid B-72 when bronze artifacts consolidated. In this study, we compared the coating properties of paraloid B-72 in various concentration levels. The surface before and after coating were observed by optical microscope and AFM. Thickness and adhesive strength of films were tested. For testing coating stability, we performed yellowing test and EIS. After these experiments, we concluded 15wt% paraloid B-72 was adequate concentration for bronze artifacts conservation when paraloid B-72 used in xylene as solvent. Because 15wt% paraloid B-72 has the lowest polarity and high hydrophobic.

전기방사법(Electrospinning technique)을 이용하여 PVdF-HFP(Poly vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) 멤브레인을 제조하고, 그 멤브레인 표면위에 DLC(Diamond-like carbon) 코팅공정을 적용하여 멤브레인의 표면변화 및 접촉각 변화를 조사하였다. Ar 플라즈마 처리시간 및 처리조건에 따라 PVdF-HFP 멤브레인 파이버 표면이 주름(wrinkles)형태로 변화 하였다. 이러한 Ar 플라즈마 처리가 된 PVdF-HFP 멤브레인은 초친수성(super-hydrophilic) 특성으로 변했지만, 초친수성 PVdF-HFP 멤브레인에 DLC 코팅공정을 적용하면 반대로 초소수성(super-hydrophobic) 특성으로 변화되었다. 이러한 특성을 가진 표면을 접촉각 측정과 XPS, FE-SEM 측정으로 분석하였다. 따라서 화학적 조성과 표면 형상에 의해 접촉각 특성을 가지는 것으로 확인하였다.

In the presence of $\mu-tip$ for narrow stripe coating, there appears lateral capillary flow along the hydrophilic head lip because the $\mu-tip$ has some resistance to flow. It was known to be suppressed by increasing the contact angle of the head lip. In this paper, we have demonstrated by computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulations that it can also be suppressed by the formation of micro-patterns on the shim and meniscus guide embedded into the slot-die head. To optimize the micro-patterned structure, we have performed simulations by varying the groove width, depth, and clearance. In the absence of micro-patterns, it is shown by experiment and simulation that the solution spreads to a distance of $1,300{\mu}m$ from the ${\mu}-tip$. In the presence of micro-patterns with the groove width and clearance of $50{\mu}m$, the distance the solution spreads is reduced to $260{\mu}m$. However, no further suppression in the capillary flow is observed with micro-patterns with the groove width of $40{\mu}m$ or less. It is also observed that the capillary flow is not affected by the groove depth if it is larger than $10{\mu}m$. We have shown that the distance the solution spreads can be reduced further to $204{\mu}m$ by coating a hydrophobic material (contact angle of $104^{\circ}$) on the surface of micro-patterns having the groove width and clearance of $50{\mu}m$.

Lotus leaf has a special dual micro and nano surface structure which gives its highly hydrophobic surface characteristics and so-called self cleaning effect. In order to endow PVDF hollow fiber membrane with this special structure and improve the hydrophobicity of membrane surface, PVDF hollow fiber composite membranes was obtained through the immersion coating of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) dilute solution on the outside surface of PVDF support membrane. The prepared PVDF composite membranes were used in the vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) for the desalination. The effects of PVDF-HFP dilute solution concentration in the dope solution and coating time on VMD separation performance was studied. Membranes were characterized by SEM, WCA measurement, porosity, and liquid entry pressure of water. VMD test was carried out using $35g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NaCl aqueous solution as the feed solution at feed temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and the permeate pressure of 31.3 kPa. The vapour flux reached a maximum when PVDF-HFP concentration in the dilute solution was 5 wt% and the coating time was kept in the range of 10-60 s. This was attributed to the well configuration of micro-nano rods which was similar with the dual micro-nano structure on the lotus leaf. Compared with the original PVDF membrane, the salt rejection can be well maintained which was greater than 99.99 % meanwhile permeation water conductivity was kept at a low value of $7-9{\mu}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ during the continuous testing for 360 h.
