To improve the permselective efficiency of polysulfone membranes, the bromination was performed and then the resulting membranes were investigated in terms of membrane structures and gas transport characteristics. The brominated Polysulfone membranes were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, TGA, contact angle measurements, and gas permeation measurements were accomplished with He, $N_2,\;CO_2\;and\;O_2$. In general, the permeation rates were reduced while the selectivities increased as the bromination progressed.

This study focuses on the investigation of the anion exchange membrane through blending poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) varying the mixing ratio. To characterize the resulting membranes, the water content, contact angle, FT-IR, thermal gravimetric analysis, ion exchange capacity, ion conductivity and elastic modulus were measured. The PVA / PEI = 90 / 10 membrane showed the ion conductivity, $5.16{\times}10^{-2}S/cm$ and simultaneously the contact angle, $78.3^{\circ}$. According to TGA measurement, the resulting membranes seemed durable at room temperature. Through the modulus test, the mechanical properties increased with increasing PVA content and apparently the membranes looked very robust.

Research and development of nano fiber products is very active over the world. Physical characteristics and dyeing properties of nylon 66 nano fiber were investigated in this study. X-ray diffraction, DSC, analysis of amino end group, and water absorption were performed to get information concerning physical properties of nano fiber. Nylon 66 nano fiber was dyed with high molecular mass acid dyes. Effects of dyeing temperature, pH of dyeing solution, and concentration of acid dyes on dyeing properties such as rate of dyeing and the extent of exhaustion, were examined and compared to those of regu­lar fiber. It was found that nano fiber adsorbed acid dyes at lower temperature, got rapidly dyed, and its extents of exhaustion at specific dyeing temperature were higher than regular fiber. It was also observed that nano fiber could adsorb a large amount of acid dye without a significant loss in the extent of exhaustion. Washing fastness of the dyed nano fiber was lower by $1/2\~1$ grade, light fastness by 1 grade than the dyed regular fiber.

Nano-sized MgO single crystal powders have recently been reported to emit ultraviolet by stimulation of electrons in a vacuum. In this study, nanocrystalline MgO powders were applied to a xenon plasma flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) for a liquid crystal display backlight to improve its emission efficiency through the extra ultraviolet from the nano-MgO crystals. For comparison, a MgO nano-thin film was applied directly on the phosphors inside a lamp panel through e-beam evaporation. Adding MgO nano-crystal powders to the phosphors improved the luminance and efficiency of FFLs by around 20% and MgO nano-crystal coverage of 40% of the phosphor provided the best FFL emission characteristics; however, application of MgO thin film to the phosphors degraded the emission characteristics, even compared to FFLs without MgO. This was due to insufficient ultraviolet stimulation of the phosphors and the crystallinity and low secondary electron coefficient of the MgO.

Nano particles-containing CMS membranes were prepared by pyrolysis of polyimides dispersed uniformly with precursors and their gas separation performances were examined, to elucidate the permeation mechanism and to further improve the gas separation performance. Consequently, it was suggested that the separation performance could be controlled by doping nano-particles in the CMS membranes, and that optimization of various factors, such as the size, content, and dispersion state of the nano particles would contribute for further improvement of the gas separation performance.

Nano-Crystalline $CeO_2$ particles were dispersed in deionized water with controlled slurry chemicals for CMP test. According to the CMP test, the removal rate of $SiO_2$ layer was mainly controlled by the size and crystallinity of $CeO_2$ particles which can be controlled by the heat-treatment condition during $CeO_2$ synthesis. In contrast, the removal rate of $Si_3N_4$ layer was significantly influenced by the passivation reagent which protects the $Si_3N_4$ surface layer from excessive dissolution during CMP.

This work reports the simple fabrication of the single cell gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using wire grid polarizer. The nano sized wire grid polarizer was patterned on common electrode itself, on the reflective part of FFS (Fringe field switching) mode whereas the common electrode was unpatterned at transmissive part. However, this structure didn't show single gamma curve, so we further improved the device by patterning the common electrode at transmissive part. As a result, V-T curve of proposed structure shows single gamma curve. Such a device structure is free from in-cell retarder, compensation film and reflector and furthermore it is very thin and easy to fabricate.

The specular hologram is one type of hologram, and it consists of many arcs. They are very easy to fabricate and can even be machined by hand and a compass. In this study, we designed two squares having different depths and consisting of many arcs, after which we machined the arcs using end-mill technology. The width of the machined arcs showed high repeatability. Moving tracks were observed on the bottom surface, and top burrs were noted. In spite of them, the phenomenon of the specular hologram was observed when an observer and a light source stood on the same side. The two squares seemed to have different depths when they were observed from the left and right directions. In this study, it was verified that a specular hologram can be manufactured by end-mill technology.
