In this study, the mechanical property of anti-fouling coating using CNF was evaluated to prevent the durability and stability of structure exposed the marine environment. Anti-fouling coating using CNF was prepared by CNF, AKD and waste glass powder, and contact angle test, drying time, viscosity analysis and microstructure were performed. When coating on one number of times, It was showed to relatively high hydrophobic performance in steel. And It was confirmed that the contact angle increased as the content of AKD increased in cement mortar. When coating on three number of times, the surface was confirmed super-hydrophobic at maximum of 151.6°. When mixing waste glass powder, the surface was showed to relatively high hydrophobic. It is pseudo plastic fluid when CNF and distilled water were prepared in a ratio of 1:1, And Anti fouling coating is judged to be suitable for use as coating on marine structure.

Organosilicone-based surfactants consist of hydrophobic organosilicone groups coupled to hydrophilic polar groups. Organosilicone surfactants have been widely used in many industrial fields starting from polyurethane foam to construction materials, cosmetics, paints & inks, agrochemicals, etc., because of their low surface tension, lubricity, spreading, water repellency and thermal and chemical stability, resulted from the unique properties of organosilicone. Especially, trisiloxane surfactants, having low molecular weight organosilicone as hydrophobe, exhibit low surface tension and excellent wettability and spreadability, leading to their applications as super wetter/super spreader, but have the disadvantage of vulnerability to hydrolysis. A variety of trisiloxane surfactant structures are required to provide the functional improvement and the defect resolution for reflecting the necessities in the various applications. This review covers the synthetic schemes of reactive trisiloxanes as hydrophobic siloxane backbones, the main reaction schemes, such as hydrosilylation reaction, for coupling reactive trisiloxanes to hydrophilic groups, and the synthetic schemes of the main trisiloxane surfactants including polyether-, carbohydrate-, gemini-, bolaform-, double trisiloxane-type surfactants.

Studies on plants such as lotus leaf suggested that dual-scale structure could contribute to super-hydrophobicity. We introduced super-hydrophobicity onto poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) fabric with dual-scale structure by assembling $TiO_2$ nano sol. PET fabric was treated with $TiO_2$ sol, water-repellent agent using various parameters such as particle size, concentration. Morphological changes by particle size were observed using field emmission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and AFM measurement, contact angle measurement equipment. The contact angle of water was about 138.5$^{\circ}$, 125.8$^{\circ}$, 125.5$^{\circ}$ and 108.9$^{\circ}$ for PET fabric coated with 60.2nm, 120.1nm, 200nm and 410.5nm $TiO_2$ particles, compared with about 111.5$^{\circ}$ for PET fabric coated with water repellent. When we mixed particle sizes of 60.2nm and 120.1nm by 7:3 volume ratio, the contact angle of water was about 132.5$^{\circ}$. And we mixed particle sizes of 60.2nm and 200nm by 7:3 volume ratio, the contact angle of water was about 141.8$^{\circ}$. Also we mixed particle sizes of 60.2nm and 410.5nm by 7:3 volume ratio, the best super-hydrophobicity was obtained. In this paper, we fabricated various surface structures to the water-repellent surfaces by using four types of $TiO_2$ nano-particles, and we found that the nanoscale structure was very important for the super-hydrophobicity.

Numerical analysis is done to investigate the effect of surface treatment of a toilet on the cleanness. The surface treatment using plasma for the super-hydrophobic surface expects the self-cleaning effect of the toilet seat cover for preventing the droplets with a great quantity of bacteria during the toilet flushing after evacuation. In this study, the fluid analysis in the toilet during the flushing was performed by an ultrahigh-speed CCD camera with 1,000 frame/sec and the numerical modeling. And the spattering phenomenon from the toilet surface during urine was analyzed quantitatively by CFD-ACE+ with a free surface model and a mixed model of two fluids. If the surface tension of the toilet surface is weak, many urine droplets after collision bounded in spite of considering the gravity. The turbulence generated by the change of angle and velocity of urine and the variation of the collision phenomenon from toilet surface were modeled numerically.

Recently, researches for droplet impact phenomena have been faced a new phase in the direction of studying the effect of complex external conditions (e.g. wettability, temperature, morphology, electric field, etc.) for depth understanding and precise controlling in various applications. Hence, here we investigated the electrified droplet impact phenomena, because there were few quantitative researches for electrified droplet impact when we considering many real applications such as electrospray, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing. To observe interaction effect of surface charge between substrate and droplet simultaneously, micro-droplets with various Reynolds number (Re) and Weber number (We) were dripped on super-hydrophobic surface with existence and nonexistence of electrical surface charge. It shows three kinds of impact behaviors, fully bouncing, partial bouncing, and splashing with different We. Also, charged droplet bounced higher on electrically charged surface than on non-charged surface. Additionally, transition regions of three impact behaviors were classified quantitatively with water hammer pressure value, which means instant pressure inside droplet at the impact moment.

We propose a two-step lithography process to minimize edge-bead issues caused by thick photoresist (PR) coating. In the conventional PR process, the edge bead can be efficiently removed by applying an edge-bead removal (EBR) process while rotating the silicon wafer at a high speed. However, applying conventional EBR to the production of desired PR mold with unique negative patterns cannot be used because a lower rpm of spin coating and a lower temperature in the soft bake process are required. To overcome this problem, a two-step lithography process was developed in this study and applied to the fabrication of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film having super-hydrophobic characteristics. Following UV exposure with a first photomask, the exposed part of the silicon wafer was selectively removed by applying a PR developer while rotating at a low rpm. Then, unique PR mold structures were prepared by employing an additional under-exposure process with a second mask, and the mold patterns were transferred to the PDMS. Results showed that the fabricated PDMS film based on the two-step lithography process reduced the height difference from 23% to 5%. In addition, the water contact angle was greatly improved by spraying of hydrophobic nanosilica on the dual-scaled PDMS surface.

Recently, many researches on the development of super-hydrophobic surface have been concentrated on the fabrication of nano-patterned products. Nano-patterned mold is a key to replicate nano-patterned products by mass production process such as injection molding and UV molding. The present paper proposes the new fabricating method of nano-patterned mold at low cost. The nano-patterned mold was fabricated by electroforming the anodic aluminum oxide membrane filled with UV curable resin in nano-hole by capillary phenomenon. As a result, the final mold with nano-patterns which have the holes with the diameter of 100~200 nm was fabricated. Furthermore, the UV-molded products with clear nano- patterns which have the pillars with the diameter of 100~200nm were achieved.

전기 아연도금은 철강의 내식성을 향상시키기 위한 희생양극으로 사용되어 왔다. 이러한 아연 도금층의 내식성은 그 아연에 의하여 부식으로부터 보호받는 철강 소재의 수명과 직결됨에 따라 아연 도금층의 성능 특히 부식저항성을 높이는 연구는 소재 수명 뿐만이라 성능의 유지하는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전기 아연 도금층에 표면에너지가 낮은 물질인 테플론을 얇게 코팅함으로써 발수성 표면을 구현하였다. 발수성 표면은 물에 대한 젖음성이 매우 낮기 때문에 부식 저항성이 높은 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이는 표면의 거칠기를 제어함으로써 그 효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 특히 전기 아연 도금의 후처리로 알려진 인산염 처리를 이용하여 전기 아연 도금층의 표면형상 구조를 제어하였다. 그리고 그 표면에 테플론을 코팅함으로써 초발수 성질을 구현하였고, 이를 통해 아연 도금층의 내식성 향상에 대하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 인산염처리에 의하여 표면형상의 구조가 거칠어질수록 테플론 코팅 후 접촉각과 물방울의 이동성은 증가하였다. 이는 표면형상에 의해서 공기층이 물방울 아래에 고립되어 있다는 것을 의미하고, 이러한 공기층으로 인하여 아연 도금층의 내식성은 크게 증가하였다.
