A palladium-nikel(Pd-Ni) alloy composite membrane has been fabricated on microporous nickel support formed with nickel powder. Plasma surface treatment process is introduced as pre-treatment process instead of HCI activation. Pd coating layer was prepared by dc magnetron sputtering deposition after $H_2$ plasma surface treatment. Palladium-nickel alloy composite layer had a fairly uniform and dense surface morphology. The membrane was characterized by permeation experiments with hydrogen and nitrogen gases at temperature of 773 K and pressure of 2.2psi. The hydrogen permeance was 6 ml/minㆍ$\textrm{cm}^2$ㆍatm and the selectivity was 120 for hydrogen/nitrogen($H_2$/$N_2$) mixing gases at 773 K.

The skinpassing conditions such as roll type, roll force and roll roughness of the work roll were evaluated to give the surface properties of the galvanized steel sheets that were required for automotive and to get rid of the surface defects that caused with the bad control of galvanized coating process parameters. The surface defects of the galvanized steel sheets such as the ripple mark and the scratch were completely removed as the roll force of SPM work roll was increased and the amount of the transfer of roll surface texture to the strip was also gained a lot. The image clarity of electro discharge textured (EDT) coated steel sheets before and after painting was higher than that of the bright (BRT) and shot blasted (SBT) coated steel sheets because of higher PPI value, lower waviness and uniform surface pattern. Since micro-craters transferred on the surface of the galvanized steel sheets played a role of nucleation sites of chromate reaction, Increase of micro-craters was bring to better corrosion resistance with the increase of the roll force and the use of EDT roll at the skin pass mill.

In this study, in order to investigate how consecutive treatments of glass surface with HF acid and water vapor/Ar plasma affect the quality of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer (APS-SAM), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin films were vapor phase-polymerized immediately after spin coating of FeCl3 and poly-urethane diol-mixed oxidant solution on the monolayer surfaces prepared at various treatment conditions. For the film characterization, various poweful tools were used, e.g., FE-SEM, an optical microscope, four point probe, and a contact angle analyzer. The characterization revealed that HF treatment is not desirable for the synthesis of a high quality PEDOT thin film via vapor phase polymerization method. Rather, sole treatment with plasma noticeably improved the quality of APS-SAM on glass surface. As a result, a highly dense and smooth PEDOT thin film was grown on uniform oxidant film-coated APS monolayer surface.

SiC fibers were coated with Cu, Ag and Ni metallic thin films by magnetron sputtering in order to improve wetting properties between Al matrix and SiC fiber. The wetting behavior of metal coated SiC fiber by pure Al has been studied at $670^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ range for $10{\sim}90min$. under vacuum atmosphere. Besides, the effect of coated film thickness on the wettability has been investigated. The wetting behavior and interfacial reaction between Al and SiC fibers were analysed with optical microscope and SEM (scanning electron microscope). The wetting behavior of the as-received SiC fiber with Al melt was not uniform, indicated by the contact angles from less than $90^{\circ} to more Al melt was appeared in the initial stage of reation. It was considered that the metallic thin film played an important role in reducing the interfacial free energy and breaking down the aluminum oxide film by eutectic reaction with Al melt. However the wettability of Ni coated SiC fiber was not improved as much as that of Cu or Ag coated SiC fiber. The improvement of wettability by coating thickness is clearly showed in $1{\mu}m$ coated SiC fiber compared with $0.25{\mu}m$ coated SiC.

Nowadays, the crystalline Si Solar cell are expected for economical renewable energy source. The cost of the crystalline Si solar cell are decreasing by improvement of its efficiency and decrease of the cost of the raw Si wafers for Solar cells. This Si wafer based crystalline Si solar cell is the verified technology from several decade of its history. Now, I will introduce one method that can be upgrade the efficiency by using simple and economical method. The name of this method is Rear Side Etching(RSE). The purpose of rear side etching is the elimination of n+ layer of rear side and increase of the flatness. The effects of rear side etching are the improvement of Voc and increase of efficiency by reducement series resistance and forming of uniform BSF. The experimental procedure for rear side etching is very simple. After anti-reflection coating on solar cell wafer, Solar cell wafer is etched by the etching chemical that react with only rear side not front side. This special chemical is no harmful to anti-reflection coating layer. It can only etched rear side of solar cell wafer. We can use etching image by optical microscope, minority carrier life time by WCT 120, SiNx thickness and refractive index by ellipsometer, cell efficiency for the RSE effect measurement. The key point of rear side etching is development of etching process condition that react with only rear side. If we can control this factor, we can achieve increase of solar cell efficiency very economically without new device.

복합전기도금은 도금 중 반응성이 없는 물질을 첨가하여 도금층 내부에 함께 존재하도록 함으로써 이루어진다. 퍼멀로이는 철과 니켈의 합금을 말하는 것으로써 높은 투자율를 나타내기 때문에 산업 여러 분야에 응용된다. 복합도금을 통해 제품의 미세경도를 향상시킬 수 있으며 이는 제품의 수명과 연관된다. 하지만 실리카 나노분말 표면의 수산화기는 표면을 수분에 취약하게 만들고 이는 나노분말의 응집을 발생시켜 균일한 도금층의 형성을 어렵게 하는 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 실리카 나노분말의 응집을 줄이기 위하여 첨가제의 변화, 초음파 처리 시간의 변화를 살펴보았다. 초음파 처리시간의 증가시 입자의 분산효과가 좋았고 조성의 변화가 발생하였다. 첨가제에 따라 표면 형상과 공석되는 실리카 나노입자의 함량 차이가 나타났다. 염기성 도금용액에서 sodium lauryl sulfate를 사용하였을 경우 표면이 매끄럽고 공석되는 실리카 나노분말의 양도 높았다.

Recently, interest in using Al alloys in ship construction instead of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) has increased because of the advantages of A) alloy ships over FRP ships, including high speed, increased load capacity. and ease of recycling. This paper investigated the mechanical and electrochemical properties of Al alloys in a slow strain rate test under various potential conditions. These results will provide reference data for ship design by determining the optimum protection potential regarding hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. In general, Al and Al alloys do not corrode on formation of a film that has resistance to corrosion in neutral solutions. In seawater, however, $Cl^-$ ions lead to the formation and destruction of a Passive film. In a potentiostatic experiment. the current density after 1200 sec in the Potential range of $-0.68\~-1.5\;V$ was low. This low current density indicates the protection potential range. Elongation at an applied potential of 0 V was high in this SSRT. However, corrosion protection under these conditions is impossible because the mechanical properties are worse owing to decreased strength resulting from the active dissolution reaction in parallel parts of the specimen. A film composed of $CaCO_3\;and\;Mg(OH)_2$ confers corrosion resistance. However, at potentials below -1.6 V forms non-uniform electrodeposition coating, since there is too little time to form a coating. Therefore, we concluded that the mechanical properties are poor because the effect of hydrogen gas generation exceeds that of electrodeposition. Comparison of the maximum tensile strength, elongation, and time to fracture indicated that the optimum protection potential range was from -1.45 to -0.9 V (SSCE).

본 실험은 목적은 CRT(Cathode Ray Tube)용 청색 형광체인 ZnS:Ag 분말 표면에 액상법으로 SnO$_2$를 균일하게 코팅하는 공정조건을 연구하는 것이다. 용매로서 물을 사용하고, Sn의 공급물질로서 SnCl$_4$.4$H_2O$, 침전 촉매로서 CO(NH$_2$)$_2$를 각각 사용하여, 균일 침전 방법으로 ZnS:Ag 분말표면에 SnO$_2$를 코팅할 수 있었다. 초기에 첨가되는 SnCl$_4$.4$H_2O$의 량이 Sn/Zn의 몰비기준으로 0.017인 경우에 ZnS:Ag 분말표면에 Sn(OH)$_4$가 균일하게 코팅되지만, 그 이상 첨가되면 과량의 Sn(OH)$_4$가 입자들 사이에 응집되었다. 코팅된 Sn(OH)$_4$는 비정질 구조로 규명되었으며, 이를 SnO$_2$결정상으로 전이시키기 위하여 300~$700^{\circ}C$ 범위 내에서 열처리를 행하였다. 비정질 Sn(OH)$_4$는 20$0^{\circ}C$이하에서 탈수되었고 45$0^{\circ}C$부터 SnO$_2$로 결정화되기 시작하였다. 순수한 ZnS의 경우, 50$0^{\circ}C$이하에서는 상변화가 없으나, $600^{\circ}C$에서 일부 산화되었으며 $700^{\circ}C$에서는 완전히 ZnO로 산화되므로, ZnS의 산화방지 및 SnO$_2$의 결정화를 동시에 만족하는 최고 열처리온도는 50$0^{\circ}C$로 규명되었다. 그러나 ZnS에 SnO$_2$가 코팅된 시편의 경우에는 $600^{\circ}C$가 되어도 ZnS 상이 거의 산화되지 않았고, $700^{\circ}C$에서도 ZnS와 ZnO 상이 공존한 것으로 보아 SnO$_2$코팅이 ZnS의 산화를 억제하는 것으로 나타났다.
