UV curable transparent hard coating materials have been developed to improve the mechanical and optical properties of PET substrate. The coating materials were synthesized using various urethane acrylate oligomers, monomers, photo initiators, and leveling agents. The materials were coated on PET substrates and UV cured. The hard coated PET films were shown to have the good scratch resistance and transparency. When the urethane acrylate oligomer with more functional groups was introduced into the coating solution, the mechanical and optical properties were improved. However the higher concentration of 9-functional oligomer resulted in the decrease of workability. The addition of trimethylolpropane ethoxylate$(EO/OH)_9$ triacrylate(TMPETA) to coating solution improved the workability and properties. As a result, the UV cured film from the formulation of urethane acrylate oligomer with 9-functional groups, TMPETA as a monomer, IRACURE 754 as a photo initiator and BYK-340 as a leveling agent showed the best mechanical and optical properties in this study.

In order to know the change of weight loss, crystallinity, crystallite size(010) plane, and thermal properties of PET films which had before drawn and annealed at various temperature. It were treated in sodium triethylene glycolate-triethylene glycol(STEG-TEG) were prepared. The following results were abtain. The weight loss of PET films were increasing with increaing treated time in STEG-TEG solution and It showed a linear rlationship to the treated time. The crystallinity and crystallite size(010) plane of PET films decreased with increasing decomposition ratio when PET films were treated with before annealed under 16$0^{\circ}C$. The crystalline region on the surface of samples were decompose to thermal unstable crystalline structure

In the present study, a high-strength polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet was fabricated through a densification process of low melting PET fiber (LMF) combined PET sheet. During the thermal heat treatment process of the combined LMF, individual PET fiber was connected, which in turn leads to the improvement of the interfacial bonding force between the fibers. Also, the densification of the PET sheet leads to reduce macrospore density and in return could enhance the binding force between the overlapped PET networks. Consequently, the asprepared LMF-PET sheet showed about 410% improved tensile strength and the same elongation compared to before compression. Besides, the enhanced bonding force can prevent the shrinkage of the PET fiber network and exhibited excellent dimensional stability.

As a II-IV compound semiconductor, ZnO has a wide band gap of 3.37 eV with transparent properties. Due to this transparent properties, ZnO materials can be also employed as the transparent conducting electrode materials. Recently, rapid progress has been made in the field of DSSC (dye sensitized solar cell)area. Therefore, strong demands have been required for the transparent electrodes with low temperature processing and cheap cost. In this paper, we will prepare ZnO thick films on the PET substrates for the electrode applications. We will investigate the structural and microstructure properties through the XRD, and SEM analysis, respectively. Also, we will study the electrical of specimens to apply the conducting electrode.

In this study, aluminium - doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) transparent conducting film was deposited on PET(polyethylen terephthalate) substrate by r.f. magnetron sputtering method. PET substrate was surface-treated in an atmospheric pressure DBD(dielectric barrier discharge) plasma to increase deposition rate and to improve electrical propesties. Morphological changes by DBD plasma were obsered using contact angle measurement. The contact angle of water on PET was reduced from 62$^{\circ}$ to 42$^{\circ}$ by DBD plasma surface treatment. The plasma treatment also increased deposition rate and electrical propesties. The electrical resistivity as low as $4.97{\times}10^{-3}[{\Omega}-cm]$ and the deposition rate of 234[${\AA}$-m/min] were obtained in ZnO:Al film with surface treatment time of 5min, and 20min., respectively.

In this study, I developed a simple and low cost process-printing a silver, carbon, dielectric, adhesive layer on PET films using screen printing technology and bonding the two films face-to-face-to fabricate a low price capacitive pressure-mapping sensor. Both electrodes forming the pressure measuring capacitor are arranged between the two PET films similar to a sandwich. Therefore, the sensor has the advantage of minimizing the influence of external noise. In this study, a $10{\times}10$ capacitance-type pressure-mapping sensor was fabricated and its characteristics were analyzed.

Nano-sized metal patterns were successfully fabricated on flexible PET substrate using nanoimprint lithography. 70nm line and space PMMA resist pattern was formed on PET substrate without residual layer by 'artial filling effect' and 20nm thin Cr metal layer was deposited by e-beam evaporation. Then, PMMA resist was selectively removed by acetone and 70nm narrow Cr pattern was formed.

Nano-sized metal patterns were successfully fabricated on flexible PET substrate using nanoimprint lithography. 70nm line and space PMMA resist pattern was formed on PET substrate without residual layer by "partial filling effect' and 20nm thin Cr metal layer was deposited by e-beam evaporation. Then, PMMA resist was selectively removed by acetone and 70nm narrow Cr pattern was formed.

We investigated the effects of DMAB (Borane dimethylamine complex, C2H10BN) in electroless Ni-B film with addition of DMAB as reducing agent for electroless Ni plating. The electroless Ni-B films were formed by electroless plating of near neutral pH (pH 6.5 and pH 7) at $50^{\circ}C$. The electroless plated Ni-B films were coated on screen printed Ag pattern/PET (polyethylene terephthalate). According to the increase of DMAB (from 0 to 1 mole), the deposition rate and the grain size of electroless Ni-B film increased and the boron (B) content also increased. In crystallinity of electroless Ni-B films, an amorphization reaction was enhanced in the formation of Ni-B film with an increasing content of DMAB; the Ni-B film with < 1 B at.% had a weak fcc structure with a nano crystalline size, and the Ni-B films with > 5 B at.% had an amorphous structure. In addition, the Ni-B film was selectively grown on the printed Ag paste layer without damage to the PET surface. From this result, we concluded that formation of electroless Ni-B film is possible by a neutral process (~green process) at a low temperature of $50^{\circ}C$.
