In the fabrication of joined materials between anodized aluminum alloy and polymer, the performance of the metalpolymer joining is greatly influenced by the chemical properties of the oxide film. In a previous study, the dependence of physical joining strength on the thickness, structure, pore formation, and surface roughness of films formed on aluminum alloys is investigated. In this study, we investigated the effect of silane coupling treatment on the joining strength and sealing performance between aluminum alloy and polymer. After a two-step anodization process with additional treatment by silane, the oxide film with chemically modified nanostructure is strongly bonded to the polymer through physical and chemical reactions. More specifically, after the two-step anodization with silane treatment, the oxide film has a three-dimensional (3D) nanostructure and the silane components are present in combination with hydroxyl groups up to a depth of 150 nm. Accordingly, the joining strength between the polymer and aluminum alloy increases from 29 to 35 MPa, and the helium leak performance increases from 10−2-10−4 to 10−8-10−9 Pa m3 s−1.

염색공정으로부터 배출되는 염료⋅염색 폐수를 효과적으로 제거하고 재활용하기 위해 막분리법을 적용하고자 하였고, 본 연구에서는 상용화된 나노복합막 표면을 실란 커플링제로 개질하여 분리막 성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. NaCl, MgSO4를 사용하여 개질한 막의 성능 평가를 진행하였고, 그 결과 상용막에 비해 투과도와 제거율이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 염색, 염료 폐수의 분리 특성을 확인하고자 인공염색 폐수를 적용하였고, UV 흡광도 측정을 통해 99% 이상의 제거 성능을 확인할 수 있었다. 제조된 분리막의 표면 특성은 AFM, XPS, FE-SEM, FT-IR, Contact angle 등을 이용하여 분석하였다.
