This paper investigated the wetting and adhesion property of undulated DLC film with surface morphology controlled for a reduced real area of contact. The undulated DLC Films were prepared by 13.56 MHZ radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (r.f. PECVD) by using nanoscale Cu dots surface on a Si (100) substrate. FE-SEM, AFM analysis showed that the after repeated deposition and plasma induced damage with Ar ions, the surface was nanoscale undulated. This phenomenon changed the surface morphology of DLC surface. Raman spectra of film with changed morphology revealed that the plasma induced damage with Ar ions significantly suppressed the graphitization of DLC structure. Also, it was observed that while the untreated flat DLC surfaces had wetting angle starting ranged from $72^{\circ}$ and adhesion force of 333ni. Had wetting angle the undulated DLC surfaces, which resemble the surface morphology of a cylindrical shape, increased up to $104^{\circ}$ and adhesion force decreased down to 11 nN. The measurements agree with Hertz and JKR models. The surface undulation was affected mainly by several factors: the surface morphology affinity to cylindrical shape, reduction of the real area of contact and air pockets trapped in cylindrical asperities of the surface.

In recent years, the micro-tribological behavior of silicon has been the topic of much interest. peformance of thin film under light load is important for potential applications in MEMS. In this work under light load and various humidity, the tribological behavior of undulated surface with various width and shape was Investigated. The results show that undulated surface of linear type had good tribological properties abrasive wear occur depending on the sliding condition. Also the effect of humidity on friction and wear was not important if exist undulation. Finally, undulations on HDD were found to be effective in trapping wear particles.

The friction and wear behavior of undulated surfaces made of tin base babbit are examined experimentally at the low sliding speed with severe loading condition. Steel is used as counterface disk material under pin-on-disk type sliding condition. Undulated surfaces can improve the friction and wear properties under dry friction condition since undulated surfaces trap wear particles in their cavities and prohibit wear particles from agglomerating. However, under boundary lubrication condition, friction and wear properties of undulated surfaces are inferior to those of flat surfaces. It is shown that land width and the ratio of wear volume to cavity volume are the most important factors in friction behavior of undulated surfaces under dry friction condition, and there exists optimum land width minimizing friction and wear of undulated surfaces.

The damage of cam/tappet surface is one of the major reasons for energy loss in an I.C. engine. High friction causes the accelerated wear of the cam/tappet surfaces which in turn changes the valve opening/closing timing. During the accelerated test evidence of both rolling fatigue and sliding abrasive wear could be found. Based on the results of the accelerated test, a scheme was devised to decrease tappet wear. Wear reduction of the tappet was achieved by using undulated surface topography in the tappet center region. The wear reduction is achieved by trapping of the wear particles in the undulations as well as by increasing the supply of lubricant to the sliding interface.

이온 선택성 표면이 가지는 파상구조와 전기와류 불안정성 간의 전기동역학적 상호작용을 수치해석을 통하여 연구하였다. 유한요소법을 이용하여 전기장-이온 이동현상-유동장을 완전결합 해석을 하였다. 이를 통해 파상구조가 제공하는 전기와류 생성 기작인 Dukhin's mode의 유효성 및 역할을 제시하였다. Runinstein's mode와 경쟁관계에 놓이는 Dukhin's mode는 (i) 과한계 영역으로의 전이 전압을 낮춰주고 (ii) 혼돈계인 과한계 영역에서 전류를 비선형적으로 증가시켜준다. 또한, (iii) 전기와류 불안정성에서 발생하는 비효율적 혼합의 원인인 고주파수 Fourier 성분을 배제하여 전기와류의 혼합 효율을 상승시켜 준다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 제시한 기작은 전기투석, 화학전지 등의 이온 선택성 이동현상 시스템에 대한 에너지 효율적인 기작으로 활용 가능할 것이다.

The friction loss between piston rings and cylinder liner is due to the tension of the piston rings. Lubricant is usually supplied to reduce the friction. However, the sliding speed of the piston varies during the reciprocating cycle and is very low near TDC(Top Dead Center)/BDC(Bottom Dead Center), where the hydrodynamic lubrication cannot be sustained. Since the lubrication regime is shifted from the hydrodynamic to the boundary lubrication near TDC/BDC, wear particles are easily generated so that the friction loss becomes bigger and bigger due to the plowing effect of wear particles. In this study, for the purpose of reducing the friction loss, an undulated surface is adopted to the cylinder liner to trap wear particles. The friction force variations, which are measured by strain gaged, show that the concept of undulated surface is one of the promising methods to effectively reduce the friction between piston rings and cylinder liner.

In recent years, the tribological behavior of coated ceramic material has been the issue of much interest. Particularly, the understanding of the tribological performance of thin film under light load is important for its potential in applications of MEMS. The friction and wear behavior of ceramic material that occur at light load depends on several factors such as surface roughness, contact area and material properties. In this work, the tribological behavior of coated silicon under light load and low speed was investigated. Particularly, the effects of coated materials, humidity and undulated surface were also studied. The results show that the effect of humidity on fiction was influenced by the apparent area of contact between the two surfaces. Also both adhesive and abrasive wear occurred depending on the sliding condition. Finally, undulations on the silicon wafer were found to be effective in trapping wear particles and resulted in the reduction of friction.

Friction control is highly desirable for optimization of tribological systems. In this work, the effect of geometric structure of the solid surface on friction is investigated using a Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with a tribotester. Silicon and silicon oxide specimens were used and undulations on the surface were fabricated by mechanical and chemical methods. It is shown that the friction coefficient depends on the relative dimensions of the ball and the width of undualation. By optimizing the geometry of the undulation, friction reduction may be achieved.
