Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which were purified by etching in 25% $H_2SO_4/HNO_3$ solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, were modified via plasma polymerization coating of acrylic acid, allylamine or acetylene, and then utilized to prepare PEI/CNT composites. First, plasma polymerization conditions were optimized by measuring the solvent resistance of coatings in THF, chloroform and NMP, and the tensile strength of PEI/CNT (0.5%) composites as a function of plasma power (20~50 W) and monomer pressure (20~50 mTorr). The tensile strength of PEI/CNT composites was further evaluated as a function of CNT loading (0.2, 0.5 and 1%). Finally, FT-IR was utilized to provide a better understanding of the improved tensile properties of PEI/CNT composites via plasma polymerization coating of CNTs. Plasma polymerization of acrylic acid greatly enhanced the tensile strength of PEI/CNT composites, as did allylamine but to a lesser degree, while acetylene plasma polymerization coating decreased tensile strength.

Plasma polymerization of allylamine subsequently after plasma pre-treatment was conducted on the activated carbon fibers (ACFs) for the immobilization of amine groups in the surface of ACFs. The change of structural properties of ACFs with respect to different polymerization conditions was investigated through BET method. The change of surface morphologies of ACFs with respect to different plasma polymerization power was also studied through AFM. It was found that the structural properties such as specific surface area and micropore volume could be optimized under certain plasma deposition conditions. It was reckoned that treatment and deposition showed adverse effect on plasma polymerization, in which the former developed the micro-structures of the ACFs and the latter tended to block the micro pores. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that the poly(allylamine) was successfully immobilized on the surface of ACFs and the amount of the deposited polymer layer was related to the plasma polymerization power. SEM results showed that the plasma deposited polymer layer were small and homogenously distributed. The size and the distribution of particles deposited were closely related to the plasma polymerization power, too.

Unsized AS-4 carbon fibers were etched by RF plasma and then coated via plasma polymerization in order to enhance adhesion to vinyl ester resin. The gases utilized for the plasma etching were Ar, $N_2 and O_2$, while the monomers used for the plasma polymerization coating were acetylene, butadiene and acrylonitrile. The conditions for the plasma etching and the plasma polymerization were optimized by measuring interfacial adhesion with vinyl ester resin via micro-droplet tests. Among the treatment conditions, the combination of Ar plasma etching and acetylene plasma polymerization provided greatly improved interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of 69MPa compared to 43MPa with as-received carbon fiber. Based on the SEM analysis of failure surface and load-displacement curve, it was assume that the failure might be occurred at the carbon fiber and plasma polymer coating. The plasma etched and plasma polymer coated carbon fibers were subjected to analysis with SEM, XPS, FT-IR or Alpha-Step, and dynamic contact angles and tensile strengths were also evaluated. Plasma polymer coatings did not change tensile strength and surface roughness of fibers, but decreased water contact angle except butadiene plasma polymer coating, possibly owing to the functional groups introduced, as evidenced by FT-IR and XPS.

The effect of plasma polymerization conditions on the structure of the plasma polymerized styrene were investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Ray(FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Gel Permeation Chromatography(GPC). Plasma polymerized thin film was prepared using an interelectrode inductively coupled gas-flow-type reactor. We show that polymerization parameters of thin film affect sensitivity and etching resistance of plasma polymerized styrene is 1.41~3.93, and deposition rate of that are 32~383[.angs./min] with discharge power. Swelling and etching resistance becomes more improved with increasing discharge power during plasma polymerization. (author). 11 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.

Plasma polymerization in prepared glow discharge was carried out to improve the bathochromic of dyed PET fabrics by using silicon containing vinyl monomer in plasma polymerization equipment which consists of a pair of electrodes was connected to the 13.56MHz RF generator. The optimum condition for the bathochromic effect was investigated on various plasma polymeriztion parameters. By plasma polymerization used silicon containing vinyl monomer, the bathochromic of dyed PET fabrics was very enhanced. The optimum conditions on this equipment were as follows ; electrode distance : 3cm, discharge output : 60W, gas pressure : 0.3 Torr, monomer flow rate : 30㎤/min. plasma polymerization time : 60sec. The apparent strength of plasma polymerized PET fabrics was increased about 40∼47% with decreasing about 3 of L value.

Steel tire cords were coated via RF Plasma Polymerization of acetylene in order to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds. Adhesion of tire cords was measured by TACT as a function of plasma polymerization and argon etching conditions such as power, treatment time and chamber pressure. Tested tire cords were analysed by SEM to elucidate the adhesion mechanism. The highest adhesion values were obtained with argon etching condition at 90W, 10min, 30mtorr followed by acetylene plasma polymerization condition at 10W, 30sec., 30mtorr. In SEM analysis, the plasma polymerized tire cord at the optimized condition showed 100% rubber coverage as observed from brass-plated steel tire cords.

Polymer thin films of pentafluorostyrene (PFS) were prepared by RF plasma (13.56 MHz) polymerization in continuous wave (CW) mode, as a function of plasma power and monomer pressure. Conditions for film preparation were optimized by measuring the solvent resistance of plasma polymer thin films in DMAc, NMP, THF, acetone and chloroform, as well as by evaluating the optical clarity via UV-VIS measurements. Pulsed mode plasma polymerization was also utilized to enhance the optical properties of the films by varying the period of on-time and duty cycle. Finally, the films were subjected to refractive index measurements and analyzed by ${\alpha}$-step, TGA and FT-IR.

Glass beads (GBs) were modified via plasma polymerization coatings in order to enhance the adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cigarette smoke and activated carbons (ACs) were also utilized for comparative purposes. First, GBs and ACs were subjected to surface modification via plasma polymerization coating of acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, 1,3-diaminopropane, thiophene or dimethylphosphite with a RF plasma (13.56 MHz) generator. Next, their adsorption behavior was evaluated with a home-made 4-port smoking machine by collecting the total particulate matters (TPMs) on a Cambridge filter pad, followed by the separation of PAHs via solid phase extraction and analysis with GC/MS. Finally, the plasma polymerization coatings were analyzed by FT-IR/ATR to elucidate the adsorption mechanism, while the topology of the modified GBs and ACs were studied by FE-SEM.

SEM/EDX을 이용하여 코드의 파괴표면을 분석하였으며, 황동코팅과 비교 분석하였다. 아르곤 에칭+담채를 이용한 아세틸렌 플라즈마 중합으로 코팅된 강철 타이어 코드의 접착력은 황동코팅된 시편의 접착력과 거의 같은 수준이었다. 타이어 코드의 상온 노화시험에서 황동코팅된 시편이 아세틸렌 플라즈마 중합 코팅된 시편에 비하여 우수 내구성을 보여주었으나, TCAT 시편의 노화에서는 아세틸렌 플라즈마 중합 코팅이 황동코팅에 비하여 우수하거나 비슷한 결과를 보였다.

Lanthanide diphthalocyanines have interesting properties on electrochemical and chemical redox reactions. It is however, difficult to use because of thier short device life. Plasma-polymerization attends to improvement thier device life. Yb-diphthalocyanine ($YbPc_2$) polymer film was deposited in a parallel plate electrodes-type RF plasma reactor. $YbPc_2$ was sublimed into the argon plasma, and polymer film was obtained on a substrate. Radio frequency was constant of 13.56MHz. Pressure of argon gas, sublimation rate of $YbPc_2$ and RF power were variable parameters depending on film quality. Surface of polymer films include a lot of sub-micron order lumps. It was indicated that size of lumps depends on polymerization degree controled by parameters. Size of lumps and polymerization degree are increased with RF power. However, by the high RF power over 40W, polymerization degree is decreased with RF power and surface of film is rough. In condition of RF power is high, polymerization will compete with etching of film. We obtained good films for electrochromic display with RF power of 20W, argon gas pressure of 8.0 Pa and sublimationrate of $1.2 \times 10$ mol/min, and good films for gas sensor with RF power of 30W, argon gas pressure of 10.6Pa and sublimation rate of $1.2 \times 10$ mol/min.
