Synthesis of high purity ultrafine Si3N4 and ${\beta}$-Sialon powders was investigated via the simultaneous reduction and nitriding of amorphous SiO2, SiO2-Al2O3 system prepaerd by hydrolysis of alkoxides, using carbonablack as a reducing agent. In Si(OC2H5)4-C2H5 OH-H2 O-NH4OH system, hydrolysis rate increased with increasing reaction temperature and pH. Pure ${\alpha}$-Si3N4 was formed at 1350$^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs in N2 atmosphere. In Si(OC2H5)4-Al(OC3H7)3-C6H6-H2 O-NH4OH system, weight loss increased as Si/Al ratio decreased. Single phase ${\beta}$-Sialon consisted of Si/Al=2 was formed at 1350$^{\circ}C$ in N2 and minor phases of ${\alpha}$-Si3N4, AIN, and X-phase were existed besides theSialon phase at other Si/Al ratios. The Si3N4 and Sialon powders synthesized from alkoxides consisted of uniform find particles of 0.05-0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter, respectively.

The effect of $\beta$-heat treatment on th microstructure, mechanical properties and texture in the nuclear fuel cladding of Zircaloy-4 tubes was chosen at 1000, 1100 and 120$0^{\circ}C$, and the tubes were heat-treated by a high frequency vacuum induction furnace. Morphology of the second phase particles and $\alpha$-grain of as-received tubes were markedly changed by heat treatment. The average sizes of second phase particles of as-received and $\beta$-heat treated tubes were 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 0.076$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. However, the average sizes of second phase particles were not much changed in the $\beta$-heated temperatures. With increasing heat treatment temperatures, the 0.2% yield strength and the hoop strength were decreased because of changes in preferred orientation as will as $\alpha$-plate width. Heat treated Zircaloy-4 tubes exhibited texture changes but the preferred orientation of grains still remained.

A general theory of polymer adsorption at a semi-permeable oil-water interface of the biphasic solution is presented. The configurational factor of the solution in the presence of the semi-open boundary at the interface is evaluated by the quasicrystalline lattice model. The present theory gives the feature of the bulk concentration equilibria between oil-water subsystems and the surface excesses of ${\Gamma}^{\alpha}$ and ${\Gamma}^\{beta}$ of the polymer segments as a function of the degree of polymerization $\gamma$, the Flory-Huggins parameter in $\beta$-phase $x_{\rho}^{{\beta}_{\rho}}$, the differential adsorption energy parameter in $\beta$-phase $x_{\sigma}^{{\beta}_{\rho}}$, the differential interaction energy parameter ${\Delta}x_{\rho}$ and the bulk concentration of the polymer in ${\beta}-phase ${\varphi}_2^{{\beta(*)}_2}$. From our numerical results, the characteristics of ${\Gamma}^{\alpha}$ are shown to be significantly different from those of ${\Gamma}^{\beta}$ in the case of high polymers, and this would be the most apparent feature of the adsorption behavior of the polymer at a semi-permeable oil-water interface, which is sensitively dependent on ${\Delta}x_{\rho}$ and r.

Semiconducting $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film was prepared by the cathodic electrodeposition method on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) substrate for photoelectrochemical cell application. After heat treatment at 50$0^{\circ}C$, the phase was changed from Fe to $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$. The phase, morphology, absorbance, and photocurrent density (A/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of the film depended on the preparation conditions: deposition time, applied voltage, and the duration of heat treatment. The $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film was characterized by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and UV -Visible Spectrophotometer. The stability of the $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film in aqueous solution was tested at zero bias potential under the white-light source of 100 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The apparent grain size of the films formed at -2.0 V was larger than that grown at -2.5 V. The $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film deposited at -2.0 V for 180 s and heat-treated at 50$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 h showed the predominant photocurrent of 834$\mu$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

This investigation includes nitridation phenomena of silicon powder compacts in air. Nitridation reaction condition has been provided with using silicon nitride bed and active carbon additive. Reaction products are Oxynitride, $\alpha$-Si3N4, and $\beta$-Si3N4, Oxynitride(Si2N2O) phase in formed at outer surface layer ofsilicon powder compacts. $\alpha$-Si3N4, and $\beta$-Si3N4 are formed at inner region of powder compacts. Microstructural observation indicates that nitridation mechanism in this work is the same as conventional nitridation mechanism nitrogen gas.

The chiral stationary phase derived from (＋) (18-crown-6)-2.3, 11.12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6- TA) as a chiral selector has been employed for resolution of several $\alpha$-amino acids in HPLC. In a quest for the origin of chiral recognition of $\alpha$-amino acids in the presence of 18-C-6- T, A, as a chiral selector, these interactions responsible for the differential affinities shown toward enantioners were investigated by NNR spectroscopy.

Glycosides were synthesized using transglycosylation reaction of amylase in water system. Starch as a glycosyl donor and benzylalcohol as an acceptor were selected as substrates of transglycosylation reaction. Among tested 9 commercial amylase, amyloglucosidase from Rhizopus sp. had high activity for transglycosylation from starch. The glycoside synthesized in water phase by amyloglucosidase was identified as benzylalcohol-${alpha}$-glucoside (BG) of which one molecule of benzylalcohol was bound to 1-OH of glucose. The transglycosylation reaction by amyloglucosidase were carried out in reaction system containing 50 mg starch, 50 mg benzylalcohol, and 10 units enzyme in pH 5.0 at 45$^{\circ}C$. The synthesized BG was hydrolyzed by ${alpha}$-glucosidase to produce glucose and benzylalcohol.

A convenient liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of several ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as benzophenone Schiff base derivatives on covalently immobilized chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from polysaccharide derivatives was developed. The benzophenone imine derivatives of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters were readily prepared by stirring benzophenone imine and the ${\alpha}$-amino acid ester hydrochloride salts in 2-propanol. The chromatographic conditions used on all CSPs were 0.5% or 5% 2-propanol/hexane (V/V) as the mobile phases at 1 mL/min of flow rate and UV 254 nm detection. The performance of Chiralpak IC among all CSPs was superior to that of the other CSPs for resolution of benzophenone imine derivatives of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters. It is expected that the developed analytical method will be useful for enantiomer resolution of other ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as benzophenone Schiff base derivatives.

Densification behavior, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties of hot-pressed specimens using $\beta$-SiC and $\alpha$-SiC powder with Al2O3 additive were studied. Beta-SiC powder was fully densified as 205$0^{\circ}C$, but $\alpha$-SiC powder was at 210$0^{\circ}C$. The maximum flexural strength and the fracture toughness of the specimen hot-pressed using $\beta$-SiC powder were 681 MPa and 6.7 MPa{{{{ SQRT {m } }}, and thosevalues of specimen hot-pressed using $\alpha$-SiC powder were 452 MPa and 4.7 MPa{{{{ SQRT {m } }}, respectively. The strength superiority of specimen hot-pressed using $\beta$-SiC powder was due to the finer grain size, and higher density. The higher toughness of specimen hot-pressed using $\beta$-SiC powder than $\alpha$-SiC powder than $\alpha$-SiC powder was due to the crack deflection mechanism arised from the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between $\alpha$ and $\beta$-SiC phases which were co-existed in the sintered body.
