본 논문에서는 ~1.5 μm의 기공 크기를 가지는 고투과도 알파 알루미나 지지체 위에 도포된 서스펜션의 증발유도 자기조립 현상을 이용하여 중간층을 형성하는 새로운 코팅 방식을 소개한다. 새로운 코팅 방법으로 만들어진 중간층은 일반 적으로 사용되는 담지법으로 코팅된 중간층과 비교하여 표면거칠기와 불균일도가 낮아 코팅에 적합하였다. 복합막 지지체로 서의 평가를 위해 제조된 지지체는 감마 알루미나 복합막 제조에 사용되었다. 메조 기공을 가지는 감마 알루미나 복합막은 반복코팅 없이도 매크로 기공 크기의 결함이 존재하지 않았으며 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 100~200 nm의 기공 크기를 가지 는 지지체로부터 만들어진 같은 두께의 복합막과 비교하여 2.3배 이상의 높은 질소투과도를 보였다.

(PDDA/SiO2) thin films that consisted of positively charged poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and negatively charged SiO2 nanoparticles were fabricated on a glass substrate by an applying voltage layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly method. In this study, the microstructure and optical properties of the (PDDA/SiO2) thin films coated on glass substrate were measured as a function of the applied voltage on the Pt electrodes. When 1.0 V was applied to a Pt electrode in a PDDA and SiO2 solution, the thickness of the (PDDA/SiO2)10 thin film increased from 79 nm to 166 nm. The surface roughness also increased from 15.21 nm to 33.25 nm because the adsorption volume of the oppositely charged PDDA and SiO2 solution increased. Especially, when the voltage was applied to the Pt electrode in the SiO2 solution, the thickness increase of the (PDDA/SiO2) thin film was larger than that obtained when using the PDDA solution. The refractive index of the fabricated (PDDA/SiO2) thin film was ca. n = 1.31~1.32. The transmittance of the glass substrate coated by (PDDA/SiO2)6 thin film with a thickness of 106 nm increased from ca. 91.37 to 95.74% in the visible range.

In this study, we present a facile method of fabricating graphene oxide (GO) filmson the surface of polyimide (PI) via layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of charged GO. The positively charged amino-phenyl functionalized GO (APGO) is alternatively complexed with the nega-tively charged GO through an electrostatic LBL assembly process. Furthermore, we investi-gated the water vapor transmission rate and oxygen transmission rate of the prepared (reduced GO [rGO]/rAPGO)10 deposited PI film(rGO/rAPGO/PI) and pure PI film.The water vapor transmission rate of the GO and APGO-coated PI composite filmwas increased due to the intrinsically hydrophilic property of the charged composite films.However, the oxygen trans-mission rate was decreased from 220 to 78 cm3/m2·day·atm, due to the barrier effect of the graphene filmson the PI surface. Since the proposed method allows for large-scale production of graphene films, it is considered to have potential for utiliation in various applications.
