우리는 decalin 용액으로부터 결정화 통해 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LLDPE) 입자를 제조하였다. 열 유도 상 분리 (TIPS) 공정에서 입자의 형성은 LLDPE/decalin 용액을 제어하여 냉각하는 동안에 형성되었다. 높은 폴리머 농도에서 결정화를 위한 핵 생성과 성장속도의 증가에도 불구하고, 일반적으로 저 농도에서 보다 큰 입자를 초래하였으며, 결과적으로 LLDPE는 decalin 용액에서 농도가 증가할수록 LLDPE 입자의 평균 직경이 증가했습니다. FE-SEM 의 현미경사진에서, 다양한 농도로부터 관찰된 입자는 10 μm 보다 작았으며, 구형 형태를 나타내었다. 부가적으로 그 크기에 대한 효과를 보면, LLDPE 입자 크기 분포는 폴리머 농도가 높을 때가 폭이 컸다.

The formation of high-quality polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) on relatively low cost substrate has been an important issue in the development of thin film solar cells. Poly-Si seed layers were fabricated by an inverse aluminum-induced crystallization (I-AIC) process and the properties of the resulting layer were characterized. The I-AIC process has an advantage of being able to continue the epitaxial growth without an Al layer removing process. An amorphous Si precursor layer was deposited on Corning glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering system with Ar plasma. Then, Al thin film was deposited by thermal evaporation. An SiO2 diffusion barrier layer was formed between Si and Al layers to control the surface orientation of seed layer. The crystallinity of the poly-Si seed layer was analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The grain size and orientation of the poly-Si seed layer were determined by electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) method. The prepared poly-Si seed layer showed high volume fraction of crystalline Si and<100> orientation. The diffusion barrier layer and processing temperature significantly affected the grain size and orientation of the poly Si seed layer. The shorter oxidation time and lower processing temperature led to a better orientation of the poly-Si seed layer. This study presents the formation mechanism of a poly seed layer by inverse aluminum-induced crystallization.

In this study, powder metallurgy and severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) approaches were combined to achieve both full density and grain refinement at the same time. Water-atomized pure iron powders were consolidated to disc-shaped samples at room temperature using HPT of 10 GPa up to 3 turns. The resulting microstructural size decreases with increasing strain and reaches a steady-state with nanocrystalline (down to ~250 nm in average grain size) structure. The water-atomized iron powders were deformed plastically as well as fully densified, as high as 99% of relative density by high pressure, resulting in effective grain size refinements and enhanced microhardness values.

In this study, we are crystallized to the low density polyethylene (LDPE) micro-particles in n-dodecanol solution by thermally induced phase separation(TIPS) method. The Low density polyethylene micro-particles is used in a wide variety of polymer coatings and industrial application. The utility of that for a particular application depends on a number of factors such as the particle size and distribution, and chemical composition of the materials. However, there are still needs for new methods of preparation which will provide the structure with unique sizes. The widely used processes for micro-size particles are crystallization method and thermally induced phase separation. TIPS process based on the phase separation mechanism was performed for the LDPE system which undergoes liquid-solid phase separation. Effects of various operating parameters were examined on the structure variation of the particles. Professionality, take-up speed and crystallization rate depended on temperature and concentration of polymer in solution.

Glass-ceramics were fabricated by heat-treatment of glass obtained by melting a coal bottom ash with Li2O addition. The main crystal grown in the glass-ceramics, containing 10 wt% Li2O, was β-spodumene solid solution, while in Li2O 20 wt% specimen was mullite, identified using XRD. The activation energy and Avrami constant for crystallization were calculated and showed that bulk crystallization behavior will be predominant, and this expectation agreed with the microstructural observations. The crystal phase grown in Li2O 10 wt% glass-ceramics had a dendrite-like shaped whereas the shape was flake-like in the 20 wt% case. The thermal expansion coefficient of the Li2O 10 wt% glass-ceramics was lower than that of the glass having the same composition, owing to the formation of a β-spodumene phase. For example, the thermal expansion coefficient of Li2O 10 wt% glass-ceramics was 20×10-7, which is enough for application in various heat-resistance fields. But above 20 wt% Li2O, the thermal coefficient expansion of glass-ceramics, on the contrary, was higher than that of the same composition glass, due to formation of mullite.

Glass ceramics were made from coal bottom ash by adding CaO and Li2O as glass modifiers and TiO2 as a nucleating agent in a process of melting and quenching followed by a thermal treatment. The surface of the glass ceramics has 1.6 times more Li2O compared to the inner matrix. When TiO2 was not added or when only 2 wt% was added, the surface parts of the glass ceramics were crystalline with a thickness close to 130μm. In addition, the matrixes showed only the glass phase and not the crystalline phase. However, doping of TiO2 from 4 wt% to 10 wt% began to create small crystalline phases in the matrix with an increase in the quantity of the crystalline. The matrix microstructure of glass ceramics containing TiO2 in excess of 8 wt% was a mixture of dark-gray crystalline and white crystalline parts. These two parts had no considerable difference in terms of composition. It was thought that the crystallization mechanism affects the crystal growth, direction and shape and rather than the existence of two types of crystals.

Electrical properties of multi-channel metal-induced unilaterally precrystallized polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor (MIUP poly-Si TFT) devices and circuits were investigated. Although their structure was integrated into small area, reducing annealing process time for fuller crystallization than that of conventional crystal filtered MIUP poly-Si TFTs, the multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed the effect of crystal filtering. The multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed a higher carrier mobility of more than 1.5 times that of the conventional MIUP poly-Si TFTs. Moreover, PMOS inverters consisting of the multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed high dynamic performance compared with inverters consisting of the conventional MIUP poly-Si TFTs.
