Conductive polymer blends and composites are widely used for different safety application such as electrostatic charge dissipation(ESD), electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding, electrostatic prevention and safety chemical sensor. In order to prepare a impedance-type humidity sensor that is durable at high humidities and high temperature, electically conductive polymer blends based on diallyldimethylammonium chloride(DADMAC) and epoxy were prepared in this study. The polymer blends type conductive ionomer exhibits reaction each other DADMAC and epoxy in FT-IR and DSC analysis. The blends material was traced by new peak at 1600cm-1 and appeard improvement of thermal resistance by melting point shift. Alumina substrate was deposited a pair of gold electrodes by screen printing. The blend material were spin-coated with a thin film type on the surface of alumina substrate. The polymer bleld type sensor exhibits a linear impedance increasing better than DADMAC coated humidity sensor. Also it shows good sensitivity, low hysteresis and durability against high humidity.

ITZO 박막은 2개의 캐소드 (DC, RF)를 이용하여 마그네트론 2원 동시 방전법에 의해 고온에서 안정한 polyimide 기판위에 상온에서 증착하고 $200^{\circ}C$에서 어닐링 하였다. XRD 측정 결과 어닐링 과정을 거친 막들은 Zn의 도입에 따란 결정성이 감소하다가 RF파워 280W에서 증착한 박막은 완전한 비정질 구조를 보였다. AFM 측정과 밴딩 테스트 결과, ITO 및 ITZO 박막들은 결정성이 감소할수록 매끄러운 표면과 낮은 저항 변화율을 보여주었다. 전기 비정항은 Zn 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였지만, 광학적 투과율은 $200^{\circ}C$ 어닐링 과정을 거친후의 막들에 있어서 증가됨을 보였다.

ITZO 박막과 $TIO_2$ 버퍼층은 각각 두 개의 캐소드를 사용한 마그네트론 2원동시 방전법과 산소 함량 2%를 사용한 반응성 sputtering 방법으로 각각 증착이 되었다. 모든 박막들은 상온에서 폴리머 기판인 PET에 증착되었다. $TiO_2$ 버퍼층을 도입함으로써 ITZO/$TiO_2$ 박막은 비정질 구조를 보여 주었고, 그것들의 비저항은 버퍼층의 두께가 증가할수록 감소함을 관찰하였다. 특히 기계적 특징은 $TiO_2$ 버퍼층을 5nm 증착하였을 경우에 bending test와 광학 현미경의 crack정도를 관찰함으로써 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 투과율에 있어서 단일 ITZO 박막과 버퍼층을 5nm 도입한 박막은 가시광선에서 약 75%의 투과율을 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

The formation of hydrophilic surface based on polymers has received great attention due to the anti-adhesion of bacteria on solid substrates. Anti-adhesion coatings are aimed at suppressing the initial step of biofilm formation via non-cytotoxic mechanisms, and surfaces applied hydrophilic or ionic polymers showed the anti-adhesion effect for bioentities, such as proteins and bacteria. This is attributed to the formation of surface barrier from hydration layers, repulsions and osmotic stresses from polymer brushes, and electrostatic interactions between ionic polymers and cell surfaces. The antifouling polymer coating is usually fabricated by the grafting method through the bonding with functional groups on surfaces and the deposition method utilizing biomimetic anchors. This mini-review is a summary of representative antifouling polymers, coating strategies, and antibacterial efficacy. Furthermore, we will discuss consideration on the large area surface coating for application to public facilities and industry.

Plasma polymerized thin films have been deposited on Si(lOO) substrates at $25-400^{\circ}C$ using thiophene ($C_4H_4S$) precursor by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) method for low-dielectric device application. In order to compare physical properties of the as-grown thin films, the effects of the plasma power, gas flow ratio and deposition temperature on the dielectric constant and thermal stability were mainly studied. XRD and TED studies revealed that the as-grown thin films have highly oriented amorphous polymer structure. XPS data showed that the polymerized thin films that grown under different RF power and deposition temperature as well as different gas ratio of $Ar:H_2$ have different stoichiometric ratio of C and S compared with that of monomer, indicating a formation of mixture polymers. Moreover, we also realized that oxygen free and thermally stable polymer thin films could be grown at even $400^{\circ}C$. The results of SEM, AFM and TEM showed that the polymer films with smooth surface and sharp interface could be grown under various deposition conditions. From the electrical property measurements such as I-V and C-V characteristics, the minimum dielectric constant and the best leakage current were obtained to be about 3.22 and $10-11{\;}A/\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively.

The transparent conductive film was prepared by bar coating method of poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and poly (sodium 4-stylenesulfonate) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-PSS) nanocomposites solution on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. In this case, multi-wall carbon nanotubes was treated by chemical methods to obtain water soluble MWNT-PSS and then blending with PEDOT. The non-covalent bonding of polymer to the MWNT surface was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Transmission electro microscope (TEM) investigation also showed a polymer-wrapped MWNT structure. Furthermore, the electrical, transmission properties of the transparent conductive film were investigated and compared with control samples are raw PEDOT films.

Process window for infinite etch selectivity of silicon nitride $(Si_3N_4)$ layers to ArF photoresist (PR) was investigated in dual frequency superimposed capacitive coupled plasma (DFS-CCP) by varying the process parameters such as low frequency power $(P_{LF})$, $CH_2F_2$ and $H_2$ flow rate in $CH_2F_2/H_2/Ar$ plasma. It was found that infinite etch selectivities of $Si_3N_4$ layers to the ArF PR on both blanket and patterned wafers can be obtained for certain gas flow conditions. The etch selectivity was increased to the infinite values as the $CH_2F_2$ flow rate increases, while it was decreased from the infinite etch selectivity as the $H_2$ flow rate increased. The preferential chemical reaction of the hydrogen with the carbon in the polymer film and the nitrogen on the $Si_3N_4$ surface leading to the formation of HCN etch by-products results in a thinner steady-state polymer and, in turn, to continuous $Si_3N_4$ etching, due to enhanced $SiF_4$ formation, while the polymer was deposited on the ArF photoresist surface.

A micro-conductive pattern was fabricated on an insulating substrate ($SiO_2$) surface using a laser direct writing method. In the LIFT process, when the laser beam irradiates a thin metal film, the photon energy is absorbed by the film and converted to thermal energy, and the thermal decomposition reaction produced by the resulting heat conduction forms a deposit on the substrate. The resistivity of the micro-electrodes deposited through LIFT process with and without polymer coating was measured. The results showed that the electric conductivity of the micro-pattern and micro-structure can be increased approximatly two times when the deposited micropattern is fabricated through a LIFT process with a polymer coating, compared to the case without a polymer coating.

Electrospray deposited films of poly(vinylidene fluoride) were prepared with various conditions. A model has been developed, which provides the state of the electrosprayed droplet at impact. With a combination of the experimental films and the model calculations, it can be shown that growth rate, the increase of the sprayed solution on the substrate per second, defines the film morphology in electrospray deposition. Growth rate indicates which factors play the main role in the film formation process. The most important factors are liquid flow, surface tension and shear rate. The model can calculate the shear rate and it is shown that PVDF, and most likely polymers in general, has a large range of growth rates, where the morphology only depends on the shear rate of the depositing droplet. This method can also be used to describe electrospray deposition of other compounds.

The electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid(AA), serotonin(SE) and epinephrine(EP) have been performed at poly N,N-dimethylaniline(PDMA) film coated diamond electrode. This cationic polymer film is electrochemically deposited on boron-doped diamond electrode surface. Unlike the bard electrode, the polymer film-coated diamond electrode can well separate the oxidation potential of AA by 200mV. Thus this electrode can be successfully used for the simultaneoud detection of both species. Increases in the concentration of AA do not affect the reponse of EP and SE.
