  • In this work, impedance Spectroscopic analysis was applied to study the effect of plasma treatment on the surface of indum-tin oxide (ITO) anodes using $O_2$ gas and to model the equivalent circuit for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the $O_2$ plasma treatment of ITO surface at the anodes. This device with ITO/TPD/Alq3/LiF/Al structure can be modeled as a simple combination of a resistor and a capacitor. The $O_2$ plasma treatment on the surface of ITO shifts the vacuum level of the ITO as a result of which the barrier height for hole injection at the ITO/organic interface is reduced. The impedance spectroscopy measurement of the devices with the $O_2$ plasma treatment on the surface of ITO anodes shows change of values in parallel resistance ($R_p$) and parallel capacitance ($C_p$).

  • The maximum current density that can be achieved in bipolar membrane electrodialysis is limited by the sharp increase in resistance that is experienced when the water content at the membrane interface is not adequately replenished and the membranes dry out. In this paper we show how the water content near the interface depends on the properties of the membranes. A water retaining parameter is introduced, which characterizes the thermodynamic properties of the membrane material and may be used to guide the choice of polymers for mitigation of the dry-out problem.

  • The key concept of nanopowder agglomerate sintering (NAS) is to enhance material transport by controlling the powder interface volume of nanopowder agglomerates. Using this concept, we developed a new approach to full density processing for the fabrication of pure iron nanomaterial using Fe nanopowder agglomerates from oxide powders. Full density processing of pure iron nanopowders was introduced in which the powder interface volume is manipulated in order to control the densification process and its corresponding microstructures. The full density sintering behavior of Fe nanopowders optimally size-controlled by wet-milling treatment was discussed in terms of densification process and microstructures.

  • This paper is relative to the electroless deposition of nickel or copper films on polyimide and polytetrafluoroethylene substrates. First, it is presented an original approach of the electroless process which consists in grafting nitrogenated functionalities on the polymer surfaces via plasma or VUV-assisted treatments operating in a nitrogen-based atmosphere ($NH_3$, $N_2$), and then in catalysing the grafted surfaces in an aqueous tin-free, Pd(+2)-based solution. Adhesion of the Pd(+2) catalytic species on polymer surfaces is explained by the formation of strong covalent bonds between these species and the grafted nitrogenated groups. Second, it is show how a fragmentation test performed in conjunction with electrical measurements can be used to characterize the practical adhesion of the electroless coatings deposited on flexible polymer substrates, and to evidence the influence of some experimental parameters (plasma treatment time and nature of the gas phase).

  • 요즘 현대사회는 주거생활을 윤택하게 하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 특히, 런던협약에 의해 음식물 쓰레기에 대한 대안은 분명히 필요한 부분이다. 런던 협약은 세계 각국의 폐기물 투기로 오염이 심각해짐에 따라 1972년 2월 유럽국가들이 모여 체결한 협약으로, 런던 협약에 가입한 국가는 매년 자국이 해양에 버리고 있는 폐기물 현황을 협약사무국에 보고할 의무가 있고 해양투기 금지를 저준위 방사성 물질을 포함한 모든 방사성 폐기물과 산업폐기물의 해양투기를 금지하기로 결의한 협약이다. 본 논문에서는 태양열 집열판을 이용해 자체적인 전원사용이 가능하도록 하여 음식물처리기 제어를 :LCD를 통한 GUI(Graphic User Interface)시스템으로 접근성이 쉽게 조작하도록 하여 사용자 편의에 중점을 두어 설계하였다.

  • Composite insulating materials have the defect of interface. To minimize the defect of interface of GFRP (glass cloth reinforced plastics), coupling agent is treated. In this paper, the method of coupling agent treatment has been studied. The result shows that the optimum electric and mechanical properties is obtained for the sample treated on the glass fiber with 0.3% amino silane water solution.

  • We introduce a Heaviside-function formulation of the interaction between incompressible two-phase fluid and a non-deformable solid. Fluid and solid interact in two ways : fluid satises the Dirichlet boundary condition imposed by the velocity field of solid, and solid is accelerated by the surface traction exerted by fluid. The two-way couplings are formulated by the Heaviside function to the interface between solid and fluid. The cumbersome treatment of interface is taken care of by the Heaviside function, and the interaction is discretized in a simple manner. The discretization results in a stable and accurate projection method.

  • Recently, the repair materials for defected RC structures are being developed and the performance on repaired RC structures are being studied. This experiment is aimed to evaluate the flexural performance of the RC beams repaired by premix-type materials. The parameters used in this study is the repair materials, the repair length and the treatment of interface. Flexural capacity of repaired RC beams except the polymer-repaired RC beams are similar to that of the control beam. In the flexural capacity, the RC beams treated with chipping show better results than the RC beam without chipping. The various repair lengths of the repaired RC beam are not affected to the flexural capacity.

  • The motion of a rising liquid droplet is different that of a bubble motion. Treatment of liquid drops is more complex because internal motion must be considered. A 3D unstructured CFD code has been developed to solve incompressible N-S equation for the droplet simulation. This front-tracking consideration which the interface is tracked explicitly is very available to apply for not only exact interface topology but also the high schmidt number issue, such as $CO_2$ dissolution. This paper is forced on the zig-zag motion of the liquid droplet. The simulation shows that if the rising droplet is located at the corner of the zig-zag path, the velocity is low and shape of the droplet is more spherical shape, results in the less drag coefficient. Twin horse shoe vortexes behind the rising droplet are presented and the topology of the droplet is compared with an experimental result during one period of the path.
