Effect of plasma power on PECVD process were investigated in this study. TiN and TiCN films were deposited on nitrided STD11 steel with 600W, 1,200W and 1,600W plasma power. As the plasma power was increased, the preferred orientation was reinforced from (200) to (111) and the hardness of films was improved. The low plasma power was, however, effective for improving of adhesion force of films. Regarding above properties, TiN and TiCN films were deposited by gradient plasma power. It was possible to get high hardness as well as adhesion force through gradient plasma power.

In this study, we intended to investigate aging effect of polyimide prepared by VDPD(vapor deposition polymerized method). The prepared polymide was treated by the oxygen and argon gas plasma. And we evaluated the polyimide treated by plasma from contact angle, surface leakage current, FT-IR and SEM. We know that the structure of polyimide at surface are changed to amide structure by plasma treating. It seems that strong energy of plasma causes breaking the molecular chin of the polyimide. And surface roughness increases with plasma treating time increased and sequentially the wettability and leakage current increases.

The dampness by treating the surface with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film was measured to grasp the plasma parameters and was observed the surface condition with an atomic force microscope (AFM) to find the causes of the dampness. Also, the vibrational and rotational temperatures in the plasma were calculated after identifying the radicals within the plasma by analyzing the emission spectral with an emission spectrum. The hydrophilic properties were enhanced, by treating the surface of the PET film with non-equilibrium atmospheric discharge plasma. When the rotational temperature was 0.22 to 0.31 eV within the plasma, surface modification control could be easily carried out to surface treatment of PET film on non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma.

The surfaces of injection and pressure-molded sheets of poly(ethylene-covulylacetate)(EVA) foams used for shoe mid-sole were treated with low temperature plasma to improve adhesion with a water-based polyurethane adhesives. Several experimental variables were considered, such as radio frequency power, treating time, type of gas. gas flow, and distance between electrode and sample. The modificated surface by plasma treatment were characterized using contact angle meter, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), universal testing machine(UTM). Adhesion was tested by T-peel tests of treated EVA foams/polyurethane adhesive joints. The treatment in the low temperature plasma produced a noticeable decrease in contact angle. The peel strength of EVA foams treated with plasma was increased with plasma treating time, and gas flow.

Changes of plasma lipids, total cholesterol and phospholipids content according to diet of silkworm extract powder were as follows. Decrease ratios of plasma lipids at 3, $5\%(w/w)$ treating groups were plasma lipids 5.16, $9.15\%$, those of total cholesterols were 1.63, $2.76\%$ and those of phospholipids were 1.37, $2.00\%$, respectively. Decreasing effects of plasma triglyceride content according to diet of silkworm extract powder was higher than those of total cholesterols and phospholipids contents. Decrease of plasma glucose concentrations were $4.62\%\;and\;6.46\%\;at\;3\%,\;5\%(w/w)$ treating group than control group, respectively. These results were not proportional decrease according to treating amount. In the other hand, changes of insulin concentration of plasma, pancreas and femur were appeared the similar tendency with plasma glucose concentration. Relationship between treating amount of silkworm extract powder and insulin concentration had not positive relativity, In conclusion, treatment of silkworm extract powder about $3\%(w/w)$ could be expected to prevention and/or medical treatment effect of diabetic patients.

Feeding effects of Cordyceps militaris extract powder in rats were as follows. Triglyceride content was appeared a superior decreasing effect, total cholesterol and phospholipid content were showed relatively low decreasing effect. At this time, 3%(w/w) level of Cordyceps militaris extract powder contents was most effective to decrease these lipids content. As increasing the treating amount of Cordyceps militaris extract powder, the level of plasma glucose was decreased. But these decreasing ratio was not proportioned to the increased treating amount directly. The change of insulin level on plasma, pancreas and femur was proportioned to the plasma glucose concentration also. The Treating amount of Cordyceps militaris extract powder was very close to the decreased ratio of insulin level.

A hybrid De- NOx technique of non-thermal plasma and $NH_3$ SCR process has been investigated to remove NOx from 300 hp marine engine exhaust under the low temperature conditions, i.e. $100-200^{\circ}C$. Fundamental investigation with Diesel-like simulant gas was also conducted. The performance of the present technique has been demonstrated by treating real diesel exhaust gases, in which high contents of soot, water vapor, $SO_2$, NOx, and unburned HC are included. Detailed engineering data for evaluating the feasibility of the technique are provided in the present investigation.

This study examined the surface modification characteristics of NBR using sealing in automobile. Surfaces of NBR were modified by RF power Ar plasma treatment. In experiment, pressure, flux, temperature were fixed and RF bias voltage. Treatment time was changed. In friction test, we used PTFE grease. After modification, surfaces of NBR showed many grooves, hydrophilic functional groups, and lipophilic functional groups. As increasing treating voltage and time, the amount of them was increased. And wetting angle and friction coefficient was decreased with increasing treating voltage and time. However, the pattern of changing friction coefficient was not fixed.

The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics - microstructure, hardness, adhesive strength and friction coefficient - of the coatings with aging - treatment after optimizing internal- plasma spraying parameters for Al-30wt%Si powder as a basic research to manufacture the cylinder block bore for Al engine composed of Al-30wt%Si alloy on Al alloy, The optimum internal-plasma spraying parameters of Al-30wt%Si alloy are summarized as follows: voltage: 37.5V, current: 160A, working distance: 25mm, gun traverse speed: 4.5mm/s, rotating speed: 518m/min. The primary Si particles grew aggressively with increasing heat-treating temperature. The hardness of the as-sprayed coating was about Hv=275 but this value was abruptly decreased with increasing heat-treating temperature. And average friction coefficient of the coating was below 0.08 after heat treatment for 48h at $175^{\circ}C$.

Direct thermal lamination of polyethylene film on aluminum plate without using adhesive was tried by modifying their surfaces to have polar groups. Polyethylene film was modified by treating with oxygen or acrylic acid plasma. Aluminum plate was modified by treating with boiling water or diaminocyclohexane plasma. Fairly high adhesion strength was obtained even in the case when only the polyethylene film was modified, and adhesion strength was so high that film was broken during the adhesion test if both the film and the aluminum plate were modified. Even chemical bonding seemed to be possible when the film treated with acrylic acid was laminated on the plate treated with diaminocyclohexane plasma by forming amide linkage through the reaction between COOH groups on the film surface and NH$_2$ groups on the plate surface.
