AbstractA new fully three dimensional (3D) ballistic deposition simulator 3D-FILMS has been developed for the modeling of thin film deposition and structure. The simulator may be implemented using the memory resources available to workstations. In order to illustrate the capabilities of 3D-FILMS, we apply it to the growth of engineered porous thin films produced by the technique of GLancing Angle Deposition (GLAD).

Atomic force microscope (AFM) is a useful tool to capture the two- and three-dimensional image of height and size of nanostructured thin film. It operate by measuring the forces between a sharp tip and surface of the measured sample. In addition, AFM is equipped with powerful software for image processing to interpret experimental results in detail. For example, by using the height and scanning length parameters of measured sample, average roughness and root mean square roughness can be evaluated. In the present works, the effect of image flattening process toward the surface roughness and surface fluctuations of metal oxide thin films will be presented. Set of samples were prepared by magnetron sputtering deposition and sol-gel coating techniques. In gas sensor industries using metal oxide thin film, surface roughness of metal oxide thin films are very important in order to improve the sensitivity and respond time of gas sensor. Therefore, optimization of thin film deposition and characterization are very important. The correlation between the three-dimensional image and thin film deposition and image processing parameters will also be presented.

Our recent results on the synthesis and properties of a novel family of polysilsesquioxanes having oligothiophenes were reviewed. The polymers anchored on SiO2or ITO substrates showed excellent mechanical hardness due to the formation of a three-dimensional siloxane network structure and chemical linkage between polymer and the surface of metal-oxide substrates. Optical, electrochemical, and electrical properties of polymers were also investigated.

The oat β-glucan (OG) was added into set-type yogurt as a functional ingredient, in order to evaluate effects on the rheological characteristics and microstructure of set-type yogurt. When the OG concentration increased from 0 to 0.3%, the WHC gradually increased. At 0.3% OG, the set-type yogurt had the highest WHC of 94.67%. Additionally, the WHC continuously decreased, reaching the lowest WHC (about 80%) at 0.5% OG. When 0.3% OG was added, the highest score of sensory evaluation was about 85. The rheological result showed that the fermentation process went through the changes as follows: solid → liquid → solid → liquid. The addition of 0.3% OG decreased the fermentation time of set-type yogurt by about 16 min, making yogurt more inclined to be liquid. The acidity of set-type yogurt with OG was slightly higher. The result of microstructure showed that the addition of OG destroyed the three-dimensional network structure of yogurt, and some spherical aggregate particles could be clearly observed at 0.3% OG. Overall, this study provided a theoretical basis for the application of OG in set-type yogurt.
