Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) using organic semiconductors as an active layer are of interest for their use in low-cost, lightweight and flexible electronic products. Although the field-effect mobility of OTFTs is still lower than those of inorganic thin-film transistor, the advantages of easy manufacturing and processing make them suitable for selected applications. In this paper, we report the syntheses and characterization of new p-type OTFT materials.

In this study, a non-equiatomic high entropy alloy was fabricated using the spark plasma sintering method, and its microstructural features and mechanical properties were investigated. The chemical composition of FeMnCoCr was determined by using the entropy calculation related to the design of high entropy alloys. A bulk sample with the same composition was also prepared using the conventional metallurgical processes of casting and hot rolling. The microstructures of the samples fabricated by these different processes were compared by microscope observation, and a quantitative phase analysis was carried out using FE-SEM. Hardness measurement was used to evaluate mechanical properties. Particular attention was paid to microstructural changes due to heat treatment, which was analyzed by considering how austenite stability is affected by grain refinement.

In the CNT paste for field emission, PbO frit had a fatal influence on CNTs by accelerating a decomposition of CNTs during firing. In the thermogravimetric analysis on the mixtures of CNTs and other ingredients, it was evident that CNTs began to burn out at ${\sim}350^{\circ}C$ by reacting with PbO. This problem was overcome by replacing the PbO frit by the Pb-free frit such that most of CNTs could survive during firing. Consequently, the emission current of the CNT paste prepared using the lead-free frit was improved as much as 250 %, compared to the PbO-containing one. The CNT paste was further optimized by adding a dispersant, whose dispersibility was assessed by measuring the resistance of the paste. With 10% dispersant added, the emission properties of the paste was greatly enhanced as 50 times higher as those of the paste without a dispersant.

Flexible transparent conducting films (TCFs) were fabricated by dip-coating single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) onto a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. The amount of coated SWCNTs was controlled simply by dipping number. Because the performance of SWCNT-based TCFs is influenced by both electrical conductance and optical transmittance, we evaluated the film performance by introducing a film property factor using both the number of interconnected SWCNT bundles at intersection points, and the coverage of SWCNTs on the PET substrate, in field emission scanning electron microscopic images. The microscopic film property factor was in an excellent agreement with the macroscopic one determined from electrical conductance and optical transmittance measurements, especially for a small number of dippings. Therefore, the most crucial factor governing the performance of the SWCNT-based TCFs is a SWCNT-network structure with a large number of intersection points for a minimum amount of deposited SWCNTs.

Activity carbon (AC), Cu and $Cu_2O$ modified $TiO_2$ composites (Cu/$Cu_2O$-AC/$TiO_2$) were prepared using a sol-gel method. The characteristics of the composites were evaluated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. A methyl orange (MO) solution under visible light irradiation was used to determine the photocatalytic activity. The degradation of MO was determined using UV/Vis spectrophotometry. $Cu_2O$, Cu and the cooperative effect of the AC increased the photo-absorption effect, thus increasing in photocatalytic activity.

Flower-like and plate-like CuO nanopowder has been successfully synthesized using a facile microwave-assisted synthetic route. The morphology and size of the final products strongly depended on microwave power. The phase, structures and morphologies of the as-prepared products were investigated in detail by BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the chemical oxygen demand of polluted lake water was employed for characterization of these new photocatalysts. The results showed correlations between the morphology of CuO micro-crystals and their catalytic properties.

Cube textured Ni substrate were fabricated for YBCO coated conductors from the initial specimens prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) and casting and the effects of annealing temperature and reduction ratio on texture formation and microstructural evolution were evaluated. The initial specimens were rolled and then annealed in the temperature at $600^{\circ}C{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$. A strong cube texture formed for P/M substrate, and the degree of texture did not significantly vary with annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the texture of casting substrate was more dependent on the annealing temperature and twin texture and several minor texture components started to form at $1000^{\circ}C$.

Highly transparent $Y_2O_3$ ceramics were produced using spark plasma sintering (SPS) at $1600^{\circ}C$ and 30 MPa for 5 min. When the SPS process was applied with various amounts of $La_2O_3$ as dopant. The specimen doped with 3 mol% $La_2O_3$ showed the highest density, and rapid particle growth and pore growth occurred, exhibiting that the relative density and average grain size are 99.2% and $17.2{\mu}m$, respectively. The specimen showed excellent transmittance of 79.44% in the visible light region (600 nm), resulting that $La_2O_3$ would be a useful dopant for improving the transmittance and mechanical properties of transparent $Y_2O_3$ ceramics produced with SPS.
