A statistical thermodynamical treatment for polymer adsorption from solution is presented. The canonical partition function for the polymer solution in the presence of a surface or an impermeable interface is formulated on the basis of usual quasi-crystalline lattice model, Bragg-Williams approximation of random mixing, and Pak's simple treatment of liquid. The present theory gives the surface excess ${\Gamma}_{exc}$ and the surface coverage ${\phi}^s_2$ of the polymer as a function of the chain length x, the Flory-Huggins parameter x, the adsorption energy parameter $x_s$, and polymer concentration $v_2$. Present theory is also applicable to the calculation of interfacial tension of polymer solution against water. For the idealized flexible polymer, interfacial tensions according to our theory fit good to the experimental data to the agreeable degrees.

Polycarbonate (PC) and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) surface was modified by ion assisted reaction (IAR) technique to obtain the hydrophilic functional groups and improve the wettability. In conditions of ion assisted reaction, ion beam energy was changed from 500 to 1500eV, and ion dose and oxygen gas blown rate were fixed $1\times10^{16}$ ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 4ml/min, respectively. Wetting angle of water on PC and PMMA surface modified by $Ar^+$ ion without blowing oxygen at 4ml/mon showed $5^{\circ}$ and $10^{\circ}$. Changes of wetting angle with oxygen gas and $Ar^+$ ion irradiation were explained by considering formation of hydrophilic group due to a reaction between irradiated polymer chain by energetic ion irradiation and blown oxygen gas. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis shows that hydrophilic groups such as -C-O, -(C=O)- and -(C=O)-O- are formed on the surface of polymer by chemical interaction. The polymer surface modification using ion assisted reaction only changed the surface physical properties and sept the bulk properties. In comparison with other modification methods, the surface modification by IAR treatment was chemically stable and enhanced the adhesion between metal and polymer surface. The applications of various kinds of polymer surface modification methods, metal and polymer surface. The applications of various kinds of polymer surface modification could be appled to the new materials about hydrophilic surface properties by IAR treatment. The adhesion between metal film and polymer measured by Scotch tape test whether the hydrophilic surfaces could improve the adhesion strength or not.

LCD용 칼라 필터를 제작하는 방법으로 감광성 고분자(photosensitive polymer)에 광 리소그라피(photolithography)기술이 많이 이용되어지고 있다. 이로 인해 감광성 고분자 표 면의 물리적, 화학적 성질이 변하게 되는데, 이는 후속 공정인 플라즈마 식각이나 ITO 전극 의 증착 등에도 많은 영향을 주므로, 각 공정에 따른 이들 고분자의 표면 연구는 매우 중요 하다. 본 논문에서는 blue 칼라 필터의 고분자 표면에 대한 연구를 SIMS와 XPS를 이용하 여 수행하였으며, 표면의 거칠기 변화를 AFM을 통해 관찰하였다. SIMS와 XPS결과로부터 초기 공정인 blue 칼라 필터를 스핀 코팅하고 pre bake한 상태에서는 주로 칼라 필터의 주 성분인 단량체와 결합제의 고분자 물질이 표면에 드러나 있다가, 노광 과정을 거치고 post bake한 시료에서는 색깔을 내는 안료 성분이 표면에 드러남을 확인하였고, AFM을 통해서 는 post bake후에 표면에 더 거칠어 짐을 관찰하였다.

Sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy has recently been used to investigate the surface of the various polymers and was able to find the chemical compositions and structures specific to the surface. Here we report our studies on two specific polymer samples to demonstrate its capability. Polyimide thin films were made by spin coating on fused quartz and $CaF_2$ substrates. The sum-frequency signal originating mainly from the air/polymer interface showed markedly different spectra, indicating the structural change of the polymer surface depending on the underlying substrate. Various polyethylene surfaces were also investigated by sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy. The surface of polyethylene samples in the CH-region showed different sum-frequency spectra, presumably due to the trace amount of additives having much higher concentration at the air/polymer interface. These examples demonstrate the surface and interface of the polymer could have different structure and chemical composition from those of a bulk, which can be studied effectively by surface nonlinear optical spectroscopy.

Optically compensated bend (OCB) mode has intrinsic characteristics such as wide viewing angle and fast response time. However, in order to operate the OCB mode in bend state, this device needs quick transitions from the initial splay state to bend state. In this paper, we proposed OCB mode with initially bend state using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer for surface polymer stabilization. The device shows continuous reorientation of the LC with applied field and a very fast response time.

The surface properties (water sorption and repellency, adhesion) are closely related to the surface tension of polymer solids. The critical surface tension (${\gamma}_c$) and surface tension (${\gamma}_s$) of a polymer solid were estimated by the contact angle method by our quantitative imaging system. BPDA (3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride)-BAPP (1,3-Bis(4-aminophenoxy) propane) polyimide was successfully synthesized. The ${\gamma}_c$ values were analyzed by a Zisman plot, a Young-$Dupr\acute{e}$-Good-Girifalco plot, and a log ($1+cos{\theta}$) vs log ${\gamma}_L$ plot. The ${\gamma}_s$ value of BPDA-BAPE polyimide was evaluated using the geometric mean equation and our multiple regression analysis. The calculated values of ${{\gamma}_s^d$ (a dispersion component), ${{\gamma}_s^p$ (a polar component), ${{\gamma}_s^h$ (a hydrogen bonding component), and ${\gamma}_s$ were 30.79, 9.32, 0.20, and 40.31 $mN{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively. The ${\gamma}_s$ of BPDA-BAPP polyimide containing both a methylene group and an ether group was larger than that of the polyimide containing only a methylene group.

플라즈마는 고체, 액체, 기체와 더불어 제 4의 물질상태로 불리어지고 있는데, 기체의 일부가 전리된 가스상태이며 외부기장에 영향을 받고 전기를 통과시키면 발광하는 에너지가 높은 기체의 영역으로 정의된다. 인위적으로 에너지를 가하여 플라즈마를 발생시켜 많은 부분에서 새로운 첨단 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 많은 부분들이 우리의 생활에 들어와 있다. 플라즈마를 이용하여 고분자물의 표면을 처리하게 되면 몇 가지 장점이 있다. 먼저 플라즈마는 표면의 물성만을 변화시켜 고분자 본 물성을 유지시켜주고, 유기용제를 사용하지 않으며, 공정 운행 중 발생하는 폐기물이 없어 환경친화적이며, 상압 플라즈마의 경우 자동화 연속공정이 가능하다. 본 실험에서는 신발소재 고분자 재료의 상호 접착능력을 향상시키기 위하여 플라즈마를 사용하여 표면 개질을 시도하였고, 처리 시간과 사용한 가스의 유량에 따른 박리강도 시험을 통하여 접착력 향상을 확인하였고, 접촉각 측정과 SEM 측정을 통하여 고분자 표면 변화를 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigated the generation of pretilt for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) in a cell with linearly polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surface. The pretilt angle of the NLC increases with increasing the incident angle in the cells with S-wave polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. It is considered that the pretilt angle of the NLC increased due to decreasing the UV light intencity. We suggest that the pretilt angle of the NLC is attributed to asymmetry triangular of the polymer surface with S-wave polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. Also, we consider that the asymmetry triangular of the Polymer not formed with P-wave polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. Therefore, the pretilt angle of the NLC is attributed to asymmetry triangular of the polymer surface with UV light irradiation on PI surface.

Molecular motion at the surface of monodisperse polystyrene (PS) films with various chain end groups was studied by scanning probe microscopy. Surface glass transition temperature ($T_{g^s}$) of the PS films was much lower than the corresponding bulk value. And, the magnitude of $T_{g^s}$ was strongly dependent on chain end chemistry. This result can be explained in terms of the chain end concentration at the surface. Time-temperature superposition principle was applied to rheological analysis at the surface. The apparent activation energy of the surface ${\alpha}_{a}$-relaxation process was approximately a half of that for the bulk sample. This result clearly indicates that the cooperativity for the surface segmental motion was reduced in comparison with that in the bulk region.

Recently, polymer insulators that are used for high voltage applications have some advantages such as light weight, small size, vandalism resistance, hydrophobicity and easy making process. During outdoor service of polymer insulators, the surface of the insulating material is frequently subjected to moisture and contamination that lead to dry band arcing. Their tracking resistance, erosion resistance, end sealing and shed design are very important because dry band arcing causes degradation of polymer surface. Aging test to estimate life property of polymer insulator is executed through several international standard such as IEC 61109 and CEA tracking wheel test, but is not getting clear conclusion yet. There are two methods in the diagnosis method of polymer insulator such as off-line and on-line. The diagnosis methods in off-line are external condition analysis by the eye, contaminant analysis on surface, surface analysis, pollution withstand voltage test, power frequency flashover voltage test, lightning impulse flashover test, tensile fracture load test and flexural load test. Polymer material is also investigated it's tracking resistance by adding surface active agent in IEC 587. In this paper, the tracking performance of polymer insulator with salt solution which is added surface active agent. The diagnosis of insulator sample has been analyzed by leakage current and visual examination, STRI guide and thermal image camera.
