To reduce the hold-up of the nuclear material in the glove box and the external exposure dose, the development of the technology of the powder adhesion prevention by the micro-fabrication and nanoparticle coating to the glove box component has been proceed. The adhesion between the particles and the substrates of the stainless steel which was perfomed by the micro-fabrication, and of the acrylic and the poly carbonate which were coated with nanoparticles using a silica nanoparticle-containing hydrophobic modifier was measured and evaluated.
