We report the improvement in adhesion of IZO thin films through oxygen ($O_2$) plasma treatment of organic polymer film. In conclusion, the $O_2$ plasma treatment of an organic polymer film was accomplished with improving ca. 1.8 times in adhesion than that of the only general etch treatment on the same organic polymer film.

We demonstrated that the solution processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have the high efficiency with pre-treated indium-tin-oxide (ITO). ITO surface was pre-treated with four methods and compared each other. The pre-treatment of ITO surface improves the chemical and physical characteristics of ITO such as the surface roughness, adhesion property, and the hole injection ability. These properties were analyzed by the contact angle, atomic force microscope (AFM) image, and the current flow character in device. As a results, the device with ITO pre-treated by $O_2$ plasma shows the current efficiency of 5.93 cd/A, which is 1.5 times the device without pre-treatment.

The influence of oxygen plasma and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) treatment of $SiO_2$ on the patterning of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is presented. A significant difference in surface energies between plasma treated and OTS treated $SiO_2$ was noted. Such heterogeneous surface energy guides PEDOT:PSS to wet and spread on the wettable region and to dewet and retract from other regions.

Surface coatings were prepared on SKD11 core mold steel by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The coatings were investigated about the formation condition of core mold steel. SKD11 were coated by PEO in a mix solution of Sodium Aluminate $NaAlO_2$ (10 g/l), Sodium Silicate powder $Na_2SiO_3$ (0.5 g/l), Sodium tungstate dihydrate $Na_2WO_42H_2O$ (0.5 g/l) at less than $30^{\circ}C$. The electrical condition were voltage : 500~600 V; Pulse : 600~1800 Hz; current density 15~20 $A/dm^2$ various time : 3 min~40 min. The coatings surface morphology, cross-section, friction coefficient, hardness were investigated. The PEO coatings on SKD11 core mold steel showed the extended service life.

In this study, we controlled the shape of a carbon layer on gallium oxide templates. Gallium oxide layers were deposited on sapphire substrates using mist chemical vapor deposition. Subsequently, carbon layers were formed using radio frequency plasma chemical vapor deposition. Various shapes of carbon structures appeared according to the fraction of methane gas, used as a precursor. As methane gas concentration was adjusted from 1 to 100%, The shapes of carbon structures varied to diamonds, nanowalls, and spheres. The growth of carbon isotope structures on Ga₂O₃ templates will give rise to improving the electrical and thermal properties in the next-generation electronic applications.

Development of biodegradable implants for treatment of complex bone fractures has recently become one of the priority areas in biomedical materials research. Multifunctional corrosion resistant and bioactive coatings containing hydroxyapatite $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$ and magnesium oxide MgO were obtained on Mg-Mn-Ce magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation. The phase and elemental composition, morphology, and anticorrosion properties of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The PEO-layers were post-treated using superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene powder. The duplex treatment considerably reduced the corrosion rate (>4 orders of magnitude) of the magnesium alloy. The use of composite coatings in inducing bioactivity and controlling the corrosion degradation of resorbable Mg implants are considered promising. We also applied the plasma electrolytic oxidation method for the formation of the composite bioinert coatings on the titanium nickelide surface in order to improve its electrochemical properties and to change the morphological structure. It was shown that formed coatings significantly reduced the quantity of nickel ions released into the organism.

Cu/PET film composites were prepared by electroless copper plating method. In order to improve adhesion between electroless plated Cu layer and polyester (PET) film, the effect of pretreatment conditions such as etching method, mixed catalyst composition were investigated. Chemical etching and plasma treatment increased surface roughness in decreasing order of Ar＞HCl＞O$_2$＞NH$_3$. However, adhesion of Cu layer on PET film increased in the following order: $O_2$＜Ar＜HCl＜NH$_3$. It indicated that appropriate surface roughness and introduction of affinitive functional group with Pd were key factors of improving adhesion of Cu layer. PET film was more finely etched by HCI tolution, resulting in an improvement in adhesion between Cu layer and PET film. Plasma treatment with NH$_3$produced nitrogen atoms on PET film, which enhances chemisorption of Pd$^{2+}$ on PET film, resulting in improved adhesion and shielding effectiveness of Cu layer deposited on the Pd catalyzed surface. Surface morphology of Cu plated PET film revealed that Pd/Sn colloidal particles became more evenly distributed in the smaller size by increasing the molar ratio of PdCl$_2$; SnCl$_2$from 1 : 4 to 1 : 16. With increasing the molar ratio of mixed catalyst, adhesion and shielding effectiveness of Cu plated PET film were increased.d.

Discharge under the water is very hard and demand considerable high voltage. But specially improved electrode can generate plasma discharge to salty water with relatively low voltage. A round shape ceramic electrode having many pinholes combined with metallic one can generate plasma. 400 volt, 10 kHz and 3 micro second pulse width were applied to repeatedly running synthetic seawater with 10 L/m velocity, containing cultivated E. coli and Bacillus. As a result, 18, 94, 99.97, 100, 100 % disinfection rates to E. coli and 17.1, 17.1, 82.9, 99.4, 99.9 % disinfection rates to Bacillus subtilis were achieved to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 times repetitive treatment respectively. In the plasma condition, the ions and electrons are separated and new kinds of components are re-synthesized by the intensive movement of the components. Especially chlorine ions are separated and recombined to residual free chlorine like HOCl, $OCl^-$. The residual free chlorine concentrations of discharged water were 0.25, 0.88, 1.39, 1.59, 1.66 mg $Cl_2$/L after 5 times treatment respectively. Another unconfirmed radical and oxidants for example, OH, $H_2O_2$, and $O_3$ can have an effect on microorganism of course.
