AbstractCarboxyl groups were photochemically substituted for hydrogen atoms at a polyphenylenesulfide surface by using an KrF excimer laser light and vaporized formic acid. In the process, the polyphenylenesulfide film was placed in the formic acid vapor, and the surface was irradiated with the KrF excimer laser light. Irradiating with the laser, the surface was dehydrogenated by the hydrogen atoms which were photodissociated from the formic acid; the dangling bonds on the surface combined with the COOH radicals which were also photodissociated. The hydrophilic property of the photomodified surface was evaluated by the measurement of the contact angle with water. The dehydrogenation reaction and the substitution reaction of the COOH radicals were inspected by XPS analysis. Surface morphology of the sample was observed by SEM photograph.

ABSTRACTA single-crystalline 3C-SiC is very difficult to etch compared with a polycrystalline SiC. Thus, a photochemical pattern etching of the SiC was demonstrated by using Xe2* excimer lamp and ArF or KrF excimer laser. To promote the surface reaction, a Xe2* excimer lamp was employed to produce many radicals on the sample surface; simultaneously, ArF or KrF laser light irradiated the surface via a circuit pattern to dissociate the Si-C bonds. The Si and C reacted with the F and N radicals photo-dissociated from NF3 gas to form SiF4, CFn and CN, which diffused in the reaction cell. As a result, the single-crystalline 3C-SiC was photo-chemically etched effectively. With the NF3 gas of 200Torr, the Xe2* excimer lamp of 7mW/cm2, and the KrF excimer laser of 650mJ/cm2, 20Hz and 10,000shots, the etch depth of 700 Å was successfully achieved.

ABSTRACTPolyimide sheet surface was photochemically modified to be hydrophilic property with Xe2* excimer lamp ( λ =172nm) irradiation and pure water solution. The solution was sandwiched between the surface and fused silica glass. With the excimer lamp irradiation, the solution and the surface were excited; the surface was dehydrogenated by the hydrogen atoms which were photodissociated from pure water and replaced the photodissociated OH radicals. The hydrophilic property of the modified surface was evaluated by measuring the contact angle with water. The replacement of the OH radicals were confirmed by FTIR. The modified surface was bonded to stainless steel with an epoxy resin for evaluation of the adhesive strength by the shearing tensile test. As a result, the adhesion was increased to 1.4 times that of the non-irradiated sample.

The efficacy of UV KrF-excimer laser light (at 248 nm) to inactivate Bacillus subtilis spores loaded onto preformed cartons was found to be dependent on the interior carton coating and scheme by which the irradiation was applied. When the carton was held static during UV laser treatment, the majority of the dose was delivered to the base of the carton and to a lesser extent to the upper part of the pack. In this arrangement no irradiation of the interior sides of the carton was observed. A more even distribution of dose was achieved, however, by moving the carton within the laser beam during irradiation treatment. The distribution of UV was also found to be dependent on the type of carton interior coating. With aluminum cartons the dose measured was found to be significantly greater (P < 0.01) and more evenly distributed across the interior compared to when polyethylene packs were tested. Under optimized conditions no spore survivors were detected on aluminum cartons preloaded with 9.5 × 105 B. subtilis spores by applying a UV laser output dose of 160 J. In comparison, the same conditions only achieved a significantly lower (P < 0.01) reduction in spore numbers (log count reduction 4.2) when polyethylene cartons were used. This difference in lethality and UV distribution of laser light was associated with the higher internal reflection of photons with aluminum cartons. The suitability of UV-excimer lasers for sterilizing preformed cartons over traditional germicidal lamp-based methods is discussed.
