In this study, experiments were conducted to visualize and analyze the dynamic characteristics of splash and residual liquid film formation during and after the injection of water droplets onto vertically situated solid substrates with varying surface wettability, elasticity, and microtexture. As wettability decreased (higher contact angle), more splash droplets formed, and the residual liquid film decreased. Low contact angles resulted in thin residual films and less splash. Surface elasticity absorbed the impact forces of droplets, thereby decreasing splash phenomena and significantly reducing the formation of residual liquid films due to surface vibration. Surfaces with microtextures demonstrated control over droplet splash direction, guiding the liquid along desired pathways. High-speed imaging provided detailed insights, showing that surface properties critically influence splash dynamics and residual liquid film formation.

LC aligning capabilities and the variation of pretilt angles with ion beam irradiation on the a-C:H thin films, and electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film were studied. A high pretilt angle of $3.5{^{\circ}}$ via ion beam irradiation on the a-C:H thin film was measured. Also, the LC pretilt angle decreased due to the increase in surface roughness at over 2 min of IB exposure time. It is considered that this roughness increase due to increasing IB exposure time that generated destroy of oriented rings of atoms related to LC alignment. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film for 1 min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film for 1 min can be achieved. Finally, the residual DC property of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with ion beam exposure of 1 min on the a-C:H thin film is almost same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on a PI surface.

In this study, Tin oxide thin film for secondary battery was deposited on Pt/Ti/Si(100). It was fabricated by r.f. reactive sputtering with Tin metal target. At constant power (130W), pressure (Base 5$\times$10$^{-6}$ Torr, working 5$\times$10$^{-3}$ Torr) and at room temperature, it was fabricated by Ar/O2 gas ratio. After deposition, we got AFM & SEM to investigated surface of thin films and had XRD to find crystalline of thin films. Charge/discharge characteristics were carried out in 1M LiPF$_{6}$ , EC:DMC = 1:1 liquid electrolyte using lithium metal at room temperature.

Liquid crystals have some tribologically favorable lameliar structure. The Performance of ther mottopic liquid crystal was investigated under elastohydrodynamic condition in terms of traction and film thickness. It exhibited low traction and very thin film thickness, which were almost constant over the entire speed range measured. It was also found to have sealing effect like grease. This work has shown that there exists "potential" for using liquid crystals as lubricants.

We report a fabrication of carbon nanotube (CNT) monolayer thin film using liquid-liquid interface. The multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), which were synthesized by the alumina template method formed a monolayer at the liquid-liquid interface after sonicating the MWCNT water-oil dispersion. Moreover, with the addition of ethanol, the MWCNT monlayer was also formed at the liquid-liquid interface. The monolayer is transferable onto solid substrates and the transferred film was observed using atomic force microscopy (AFM)

This letter focuses on the liquid crystal alignment characteristics according to the properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) thin film deposited by RPECVD(Remote Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using $C_2H_2$ and He gases. The properties of the deposited thin films were controlled by the ion beam irradiation time and ion beam energy. The results show that not ion beam energy but ion beam irradiation time plays an important role in the properties of a-G:H thin films. As the ion beam irradiation time increases, not only the sp2 concentration in a-G:H thin films but also liquid crystal pretilt angle was varied.

The nano/micro composites with highly porous surface area have attracted of great interest, particularly the synthesis of porous and thin film sheets of high performance. In this paper, an easy method of cost-effective synthesis of thin film ceramic fiber membranes based on Hydroxyapatite, and activated carbon by turned into studied to be applied within the service-facilitated the transport of radioactive waste such as $^{90}Sr$, $^{137}Cs$ and $^{60}Co$) as activated product of radioisotopes from ETRR-2 research reactor and dissolved in 3M $HNO_3$, across a thin flat-sheet supported liquid membrane (TFSSLM). Radionuclides are transported from alkaline pH values. The presence of sodium salts in the aqueous media improves in $HNO_3$, the lowering of permeability because the initial $HNO_3$ concentration is improved.

The liquid crystal display (LCD) applications treated on the organic overcoat thin film surfaces by ion beam irradiation was successfully studied. The good LC aligning capabilities treated on the organic overcoat thin film surfaces with ion beam exposure of $60^{\circ}$ for 2 min above ion beam energy of 1200 eV can be achieved. But, the alignment of defect of NLC on the organic overcoat surface at low energy of 600 eV was measured. The pretilt angle of NLC on the organic overcoat thin film surface with ion beam exposure of $60^{\circ}$ for 2 min at energy of 1800 eV was measured about 1 degree. Finally, the good thermal stability of LC alignment on the organic overcoat thin film surface with ion beam exposure of $60^{\circ}$ for 2 min until annealing temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ can be measured.

The aligned liquid crystals (LCs) display on SiNx thin films using ion-beam (IB) irradiation was studied with controllability ofpretilt angle depending on incident energies of the IB. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was used to orient the LCs on SiNx alignment films. The LCs alignment property for the SiNx thin films were observed to verify the practical application potential (figure1). A good LCs alignment of vertical alignment LCs cells on SiNx thin film surfaces irradiated with incident IB energy of 1800eV was achieved. Also, a good LC alignment by the IB irradiation on the SiNx thin film surface was observed at an annealing temperature of $180^{\circ}C$. However, the alignment defects of the nematic liquid crystal was observed at an annealing temperature above $230^{\circ}C$. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of LCs on SiNx thin film surfaces irradiated with IB energy was used for the surface analysis.
