Modified atmosphere packagings were designed by combining the respiration characteristics of the enoki mushroom at 10oC and the measured film permeabilities to O2 and CO2 gases to attain the beneficial package atmosphere were fabricated and tested during storage. The packages of 100g size with 30 m low density polyethylene and cast polypropylene showed the good agreement between estimated and experimental package atmospheres. However, polyvinylchloride stretch wrap packs showed the gas composition close to the air, which was due to leaking of stretch wrapping. The CPP package attaining O2 below 1% and CO2 concentration of 15~20% gave the best retention of quality and thus the longest shelf life among the tried packages, and it was superior to the others in the Hunter L value, stipe elongation and sensory qualties.

Purpose: To compare radiographic images of Digora/sup (R)/ system and Ektaspeed Plus film obtained from normal adults. Materials and methods: Storage phosphor plate(SPP) was placed in a film holder behind Ektaspeed Plus film package without lead foil. The effect of film on SPP was studied in a separate in vitro experiment. Forty-seven sets of images were prepared for the evaluaton. The regions of interest(ROI) for evaluation were designated at seven sites including normal anatomical structures. The image quality for each ROI was evaluated on enhanced and unenhanced storage phosphor(SP) images and Ektaspeed Plus film. Results: Two film-SPP configurations showed significantly different gray levels at each step of the aluminum step wedge(p<0.05). The contrasts were comparable. Enhanced SP images were significantly superior to unenhaned images and film in all anatomical sturctures(p<0.01). The differences between unenhanced SP images and film were significant(p<0.05) except root canal and cortical bone on alveolar crest. For anatomical items. there were statistically significant difference among five observers(p<0.05). Conclusions: The image quality of enhanced SP images were superior to Ektaspeed Plus film. and Digora system is potentially applicable to clinical diagnosis.

This study investigated the effect of functional MA films (FMA) masterbatched by zeolite powder treated with 1 N HCl solution and anti-fogging agent (CA) on the freshness extension of 'Fuji' Apples. Preference, weight loss, total ascorbic acid, sugar content, acidity, change of gas composition in package were evaluated during storage at $15^{\circ}C$. After 150 days of storage, the weight loss of LLDPE film (control, L) apples was 0.4%, and that of apple in FMA film (CA) was 1.1%. Total ascorbic acid content of apples in control after 150 days was 2.09 mg%, and those of apple in FMA film was 2.94 mg%. The titratable acidity of apple in FMA film was higher than that in control, while soluble solids content of packages was lower than that in control after 150 days. Ethylene gas adsorbability in control package was 192.2 ppm and those in FMA film was 165.6 ppm. Overall, apples in FMA film was better than that of control. It was verified that apples packed with LLDPE film(control) lasted about 130 days, while those with FMA film lasted about 170 days. Also, FMA film treated with anti-fogging agent achieved no significant effect on freshness extension compared to non-treated film, but quality of 'Fuji' Apples was improved by anti-fogging agent when compared to that of non-treated anti-fogging agent.

Quality change of Kimchi packaged with Ny/PE, Ny/CPP (PPtray+Ny/CPP cover), Cryovac BK-1, BK-4, and PET/Al/PE film was observed during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ (97%RH) and $20^{\circ}C$ (76%RH). To evaluate quality change of Kimchi, gas composition of package, pH, acidity, color, growth of lactic acid bacteria, and sensory score were measured periodically. Regarding to gas composition of package, Kimchi packaged with PET/Al/PE showed higher oxygen concentration at the beginning of storage than the others; carbon dioxide concentration was almost 100% at the end of storage. Carbon dioxide concentration of Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 which has higher gas permeability than the others, was increased to a maximum and then decreased due to permeation of gas during storage; oxygen concentration was increased. Unlike Kimchi packaged with Ny/PE, Ny/CPP, and PET/Al/PE, package swelling was not observed in Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 during storage. Although pH change was not significant depending on the packaging material, Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 showed lower pH value and higher acidity than those of the others. Color change of Kimchi was different depending on the packaging material during storage. Difference of the growth of lactic acid bacteria and sensory evaluation were not significant among Kimchi packaged with different packaging material during storage at either temperature. In conclusion, the effect of packaging materials on the quality change of Kimchi was not significant; however, to prevent from swelling of packaged Kimchi which is one of the most serious problem during storage and distribution, might be avoided by using relatively high $CO_2$ permeable film than high gas barrier film.

In spite of many advantages, the practical application of the thin film solar cell is restricted due to its low efficiency compared with the bulk type solar cells. This study intends to adopt the surface plasmon effect using nano particles to solve the low efficiency problem in thin film solar cells. By inserting Ag nano-particles in the absorbing layer of a thin film solar cell, the poynting vector value of the absorbing layer is increased due to the strong energy field. Increasing the value may give thin film solar cells chance to absorb more energy from the incident beam so that the efficiency of the thin film solar cell can be improved. In this work, we have designed the optimal shape of Ag nano-particle in the absorbing laser of a basic type thin film solar cell using the finite element analysis commercial package COMSOL. Design parameters are set to the particle diameter and the distance between each Ag nano-particle and by changing those parameters using the full factorial design variable set-up, we can determine optimal design of Ag nano-particles for maximizing the poynting vector value in the absorbing layer.

The copper film coated by Sn is often used in various applications such as LCD, Mobile Phone and etc. Especially, when the film is used as tape carrier package(TCP) of LCD panel, the film is repeatedly applied by mechanical or(and) thermal stress and then is often failed. Therefore, to guarantee the reliability of the electrical devices using the film, the tensile and fatigue characteristics of the film are important. In this study, to obtain the tensile and fatigue characteristics of the film, the specimen was fabricated by etching process to make a smooth specimen of 2000 ${\mu}m$ width, 8000 ${\mu}m$ length and 15.26 ${\mu}m$ thickness. The 2 kinds of specimen were fabricated by other manufacturing process. These specimens had values of Young's modulus(80.2GPa) lower than literature values(108${\sim}$145GPa) for bulk values, but had high values of the yield and ultimate strength as 317MPa and 437MPa, respectively. And fatigue test of load-control with 20Hz frequency was performed.

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki. cv. Fuyu) fruits were packaged under different conditions, and then stored at $0^{\circ}C$ for 21 weeks. The tried packages were heat-sealed bag of one fruit, heat-sealed bag of five fruits, and tie-sealed bag of five fruits, which used films of three different thickness (0.03 ㎜, 0.05 ㎜ and 0.06 ㎜). Throughout the storage, package free volume, package atmosphere and quality were measured. Package free volume decreased with time with higher rate for heat-sealed bags, in which close contact between fruit and the film was eventually reached in longer storage. However, tie-sealed bags maintained the levels of stabilized free volume. The rate of free volume decrease was faster with thinner film and larger bag size for the packs sealed by the same method. Package atmosphere covered $O_2$ concentration of $1.1{\sim}17.1%$ and $CO_2$ concentration of $1.1{\sim}8.3%$, $O_2$ concentration decreased during storage, whereas $CO_2$ increased. Thinner film package created the internal atmosphere of higher $O_2$ and lower $CO_2$ concentrations. Tie-sealed bags of 5 fruits in the films of 0.05 mm and 0.06 mm thickness maintained the equilibrated package atmosphere of $1.1{\sim}3.0%\;O_2$ and $4.0{\sim}5.5%\;CO_2$, which preserved the fruits best in terms of firmness and less physiological changes of flesh browning and peel browning. At five fruit heat-sealed bag in the films of 0.06 mm thickness with $CO_2\;8.3%$, flesh browning occurred at a high rate, whereas all treatments in the film of 0.03 mm thickness with high $O_2$ and relatively low $CO_2$ contents, flesh and peel browning rates were high.

We has been studied the thin film encapsulation effect for organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). To evaluate the passivation properties of the passivation layer materials, we have carried out the fabrication of green light emitting diodes with ultra violet(UV) light absorbing polymer resin, $SiO_2,\;and\;SiN_x$, respectively. From the measurement results of shrinkage properties according to the exposure time to the atmosphere, we found that $SiN_x$ thin film is the best material for passivation layer. We have investigated the emission efficiency and life time of OLED device using the package structure of $OLED/SiN_x/polymer$ resin/Al/polymer resin. The emission efficiency of this OLED device was 13 lm/W and life time was about 2,000 hours, which reach 95 % of the performance for the OLED encapsulated with metal.

Warpage analysis has been performed for top and bottom packages of thin package-on-packages processed with different epoxy molding compounds (EMCs). Warpage deviation was measured for packages molded with the same EMCs and also the warpage deviations of top and bottom substrates themselves were characterized in order to identify the major factor causing the package warpage. For the top and bottom packages processed with thin substrates, the warpage deviation of the substrates was large, which made it difficult to figure out the effect of EMC properties on the package warpage. Top packages, where the molding area of $13mm{\times}13mm$ covered the most of the substrate area ($14mm{\times}14mm$), exhibited similar warpage behavior with changing the temperature. On the other hand, bottom packages, where the molding area was only $8mm{\times}8mm$, exhibited the complex warpage behavior due to simultaneous occurrence of (+) and (-) warpages on the same package. Accordingly, the bottom packages showed dissimilar temperature-warpage behavior even being processed with the same EMCs.
