Tannic acid, one of plant-derived polyphenols, has been studied as a molecular adhesive, surface modification, energy storage and generating device, and biomedical application as it can interact with biopolymers. In this study, we synthesized porous silica nanoparticles that are widely used in biomedical engineering fields such as drug delivery and bioimaging, and then analyzed tannic acid mediated surface modification of mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

The riblet structure like shark skin has been widely studied owing to its drag reduction and anti-fouling properties. In this study we simulated the wettability of an oil droplet on a riblet surface. We developed a numerical analysis method using the Wenzel equation and Cassie-Baxter equation that can estimate the contact angle with a penetrated depth of the droplet on rough surfaces. Riblet surfaces with nine scales composed of five hemi-elliptical ribs are generated numerically. The variation of contact angles with fractional depth of penetration for the generated riblet surfaces with and without coatings is demonstrated in the condition of solid-air-oil and solid-water-oil interfaces. The contact angle for the uncoated surface decreases with increasing fractional depth of penetration more drastically than that for the coated surface. For the effect of surface roughness on the contact angle of the droplet, the oleophilic surface gives lower contact angle when the surface is rougher, whereas the oleoophobic surface gives higher contact angle with higher roughness To verify the analysis results, the wetting angle was measured in the solid-air-oil interface and solid-water-oil interface for the shark-skin template and shark-skin replica. The effects of teflon coating were also evaluated. It is shown that the simulation results cover the experimental ones.

The behavior of hydroxide ions on water-ice films was studied by using $Cs^+$ reactive ion scattering (RIS), low energy sputtering (LES) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). A $Cs^+$ beam of a low kinetic energy (<100 eV) from $Cs^+$ ion gun was scattered at the film surface, and then $Cs^+$ projectiles pick up the neutral molecules on the surface as $Cs^+$-molecule clusters form (RIS process). In LES process, the preexisting ions on the surface are desorbed by the $Cs^+$ beam impact. The water-ice films made of a thick (>50 BL) $H_2$O layer and a thin $D_2O$ overlayer were controlled in temperatures 90~140K. We prepared hydroxide ions by using Na atoms which proceeded hydrolysis reaction either on the ice film surface or at the interface of the $H_2O$ and $D_2O$ layers.[1] The migration of hydroxide ions from the $H_2O/D_2O$ interface to the top of the film was examined as afunction of time. From this experiment, we show that hydroxide ions tend to reside at the water-ice surface. We also investigated the H/D exchange reactions of $H_2O$ and $D_2O$ molecules mediated by hydroxide ions to reveal the mechanism of migration of hydroxide to the ice surface.

A.C. impedance properties of HA/Ti compound layer coated Ti-30Ta-($3{\sim}15$)Nb alloys have been studied by electrochemical method. Ti-30Ta binary alloys contained 3, 7, 10 and 15 wt% Nb were manufactured by the vacuum furnace system. And then specimen was homogenized at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs. The sample was cut and polished for corrosion test and coating. It was coated with HA/Ti compound layer by magnetron sputter. The non-coated and coated morphology of Ti alloy were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), energy X-ray dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and filed emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The corrosion behaviors were investigated using A.C. impedance test (PARSTAT 2273, USA) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Ti-30Ta-($3{\sim}15\;wt%$)Nb alloys showed the ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ phase, and $\beta$ phase peak was predominantly appeared in the case of increasingly Nb contents. The microstructures of Ti alloy were transformed from needle-like structure to equiaxed structure as Nb content increased. From the analysis of coating surface, HA/Ti composite surface uniformed coating layer with 750 nm thickness. The growth directions of film were (211), (112), (300) and (202) for HA/Ti composite coating on the surface after heat treatment at $550^{\circ}C$, whereas, the growth direction of film was (110) for Ti coating. The polarization resistance ($R_p$) of HA/Ti composite coated Ti-alloys were higher than those of the Ti and HA coated samples in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Especially, corrosion resistance of Ti-Ta-Nb system increased as Nb content increased.

The shear behavior of soil-concrete interface is mainly affected by the surface roughness of the two contact surfaces. The present research emphasizes on investigating the effect of roughness of soil-concrete interface on the interface shear behavior in two-layered laboratory testing samples. In these specially prepared samples, clay silt layer with density of $2027kg/m^3$ was selected to be in contact a concrete layer for simplifying the laboratory testing. The particle size testing and direct shear tests are performed to determine the appropriate particles sizes and their shear strength properties such as cohesion and friction angle. Then, the surface undulations in form of teeth are provided on the surfaces of both concrete and soil layers in different testing carried out on these mixed specimens. The soil-concrete samples are prepared in form of cubes of 10*10*30 cm. in dimension. The undulations (inter-surface roughness) are provided in form of one tooth or two teeth having angles $15^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$, respectively. Several direct shear tests were carried out under four different normal loads of 80, 150, 300 and 500 KPa with a constant displacement rate of 0.02 mm/min. These testing results show that the shear failure mechanism is affected by the tooth number, the roughness angle and the applied normal stress on the sample. The teeth are sheared from the base under low normal load while the oblique cracks may lead to a failure under a higher normal load. As the number of teeth increase the shear strength of the sample also increases. When the tooth roughness angle increases a wider portion of the tooth base will be failed which means the shear strength of the sample is increased.

In this work, we report the comprehensive study of performance enhancement of InGaAs n-MOSFET by plasma $PH_3$ p assivation. The calibrated plasma $PH_3$ passivation of the InGaA ssurface before CVD high-k dielectric deposition significantly improves interface quality, resulting in suppressed frequency dispersion in C-V, increase in drive-current with high electron mobility, and excellent thermal stability.

Thermocapillary convection is a surface tension driven flow due to a temperature gradient along an interface. It occurs during a crystal-growth process and therefore understanding the convection is important to material processing in microgravity. Although modelling of the float-zone crystal-growth process has been of interest for a few decades, most studies of liquid bridges assumed non-deformable flat surfaces. In reality, the surface profile, g(t,z), is unknown and should be obtained as a solution to the coupled transport equations along with the surface force balance. Here we report on a numerical study of axisymmetric thermocapillary convection in liquid bridges with deformable surfaces. The interface is determined as part of the complete solution. The influence of the capillary number (Ca), Reynolds number (Re), Prandtl number (Pr) and aspect ratio(Ar) on the dynamics is explored.

The surface temperature at the interface of bodies in a sliding contact is one of the most important factors influencing the behavior of machine components. So the calculation of the surface temperature at a sliding contact interface has long been an interesting and important subject for tribologist. In this study to verify estimation of temperature rising, calculated temperatures were compared with measured temperatures. It is possible to calculate bulk and flash temperature.

We have developed the exclusive CAD/CAM system for the machining of impeller blades. This study is about the mod-eling method for the effective machining of impeller blades farmed by ruled surface. As the impeller is consisted of boss part and blade part, the boss is modeled by rotational surface of hub curve on z-axis and the blade is described by ruled- surfaces between hub curve and shroud curve. This modeling process can be carried out on the software developed in this study. And, the developed software can describe the impeller as a solid model through interface with Solid-Works soul- ware. The developed software containing the interface method proposed in this study was very effective fur impeller modeling.
