The atmospheric corrosIOn properties of Zinc (Zn) under wet/dry transition of $H_20$ film were investigated in this study. The atmospheric corrosion of metal is usually occurred as a result of repetitious thickness transition (so called wet/dry transition) of liquid phase which is covering the metal surface. Corrosion potential and the polarization behaviour of Zn during liquid film thickness transition were measured by Kelvin probe method which IS using vibrating reference electrode without touching the liquid film. The oxidized states of Zn as a result of successive wet/dry transition were also investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the corrosion potential and the corrosIOn rate of Zn both are increasing during drying. However, the corrOSIon rate is decreasing again when the Zn surface is completely dried while the corrosion potential still remains high. This behaviour can be explained by the polarization behaviour change of Zn according to the $H_20$ film thickness change. The completely dried surface is consisted mostly with Zn and ZnO phases. After a number of cycles of wet/dry transition, however, the oxidized Zn phase of ${\varepsilon}-Zn(OH)_2$, which has rather voluminous and defected structure, were found.

In this study, using the general expressions predicting the pressure under a blade and the volume of coating fluid passing through the blade edge, it is predicted the change of the coating wet film thickness related with various parameters determining the characteristics of this blade coating process. Using the results of this research, it can be found the optimized coating wet film thickness taking into account the parameters related with various coating process on various metal surfaces will be able to be predicted.

The purpose of this study is to find how to be formed the wet film thickness during the low friction coating process for a piston skirt with application to the theory of screen printing. In other words, the general expressions predicting the pressure under a blade and the volume of coating fluid passing through the blade edge are derived. Using these expressions, the coating thickness on a piston skirt during a sample blade coating process can be quantitatively assessed.

In this study the thin film air core and magnetic core inductors consisting of planar coil and/or CoNbZr amorphous magnetic layers on a Si substrate were fabricated as spiral type by using rf magnetron sputtering and wet etching methods. The etchant solution was achieved by iron chloride solution(17.5 mol%) mixed with HF (20 mol%) during 150 sec which etched Cu films and CoNbZr/Cu/CoNbZr multi-layer films. They were about 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of thickness and 10$\times$10 mm$^2$of size. The properties of thin film magnetic core inductor were 400 nH of Q value at 10 MHz and the resonance frequency was about 300 MHz.

The wet etching is a process using chemical solution and occurring chemical reaction on substrate surface. when we do wet etching process, we have to consider stoichiometry, etching time and temperature of etchant for good resolution. In this experiment, we used Cr, Al andIndium-tin-oxide (ITO) metal and we deposited them with DC sputtering machine. The Cr thin film metal thickness is about $1300{\AA}$, ITO films show a low electrical resistance and high transmittance in the visible range of an optical spectrum and Ai film is used for signal line. We measured and analysed wet etching properties on the metal thin films.

The CIGS Solar Cells have the highest conversion efficiency in the film-type solar cells. They consist of p-type CuInSe2 film and n-type ZnO film. The CdS films are used as buffer layer in the CIGS solar cells since remarkable difference in the lattice constant and energy band gap of two films. The CdS films are toxic and make harmful circumstances. The CdS films deposition process need wet process. In this works, we design and make the hitter and lamp reflection part in the sputtering system for the ZnS films deposition as buffer layer, not using wet process. Film thickness, SEM, and AFM are measured for the uniformity valuation of the ZnS films. We conclude the optimum deposition temperature for the films uniformity less than 1.6%. The ZnS films deposited by the sputtering system are more dense and uniform than the CdS films deposited by the Chemical Bath Deposition Method(CBD) for the CIGS Solar Cells.

UV curable coating system described here consists of double layers, namely under layer and top laser coatings. The former consists of organic-inorganic conductive materials and the latter consists of multifunctional acrylates. Transparent double layer coatings were prepared on the transparent substrates i.e. PMMA, PC, PET etc. by the wet and wet coating procedure. Their surface resistances and film properties were measured as a function of the top layer thickness and relative humidity. As the thickness of the top layer was less than $10{\mu}m$, the surface resistance in the range of $10^8{\sim}10^{10}{\Omega}/cm^2$ was obtained. The surface properties of the two-layer coating were remarkably improved compared with the single layer coating. The effects of migration of conducting materials on the film properties of multilayer coating were investigated by using contact angle and Fourier transform infrared/attenuated total reflection(FT-IR/ATR). It was found that the migration of dopant(dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid, DBSA) molecules were occurred from film-substrate interface to film-air interface in the organic conductive coating system but not in the inorganic one.

In Graphic art reproduction process it is important to realize that which set of inks and their densities (film thickness) and which set of halftone positive should be aimed at. in order to meet the demand for good color reproduction. There have been various studies to calculation the color reproduction of the graphic arts. however. these study were based on the assumed characteristics of the materials. In this study the relationship between wet-trapping (wet on wet-printing) and increases of ink layer and printing sequence are examined.

Many animals possess on their legs adhesive pads, which have undergone evolutionary optimization to be able to attach to variable substrates and to control adhesive forces during locomotion. Insect adhesive pads are either relatively smooth or densely covered with specialized adhesive hairs. Theoretical models predict that adhesion can be increased by splitting the contact zone into many microscopic, elastic subunits, which provides a functional explanation for the widespread 'hairy' design. In many hairy and all smooth attachment systems, the adhesive contact is mediated by a thin film of liquid secretion between the cuticle and the substrate. By using interference reflection microscopy (IRM), the thickness and viscosity of the secretion film was estimated in Weaver ants (Oecophylla smaragdina). 'Footprint' droplets deposited on glass are hydrophobic and form low contact angles. IRM of insect pads in contact showed that the adhesive liquid is an emulsion consisting of hydrophilic, volatile droplets dispersed in a persistent, hydrophobic phase. I tested predictions derived from film thickness and viscosity by measuring friction forces of Weaver ants on a smooth substrate. The measured friction forces were much greater than expected assuming a homogenous film between the pad and the surface. The findings indicate that the rubbery pad cuticle directly interacts with the substrate. To achieve intimate contact between the cuticle and the surface, secretion must drain away, which may be facilitated by microfolds on the surface of smooth insect pads. I propose a combined wet adhesion/rubber friction model of insect surface attachment that explains both the presence of a significant static friction component and the velocity-dependence of sliding friction.
