Workability and aging behavior of Mg-Li-Al alloys hate been investigated with variation of Li and Al contents. It was found that ${\alpha}$(HCP) + ${\beta}$(BCC) two phase structure reveals better workability than ${\alpha}$(HCP) single phase structure. Increase of workability is attributed to the additional slip on pyramidal and prism planes besides the slip on basal plane of HCP Mg. Workability of ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$ two phase structure is improved with increased amount of Al. Among alloys studied in the present study, reduction limit up to 62 % was obtained for Mg-8.08Li-4.26Al. MgL$i_2$Al(${\theta}$) aging precipitation was observed in ${\alpha}$+ ${\beta}$ two phase structure, while it was not in a single phase structure. Result of microhardness reveals peak hardness for ${\alpha}$ +${\beta}$ two phase structure due to $\theta$ precipitate in ${\theta}$ phase. In ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$ two phase Mg-Li-Al alloys, hardness increased with increasing amount of Al. It is believed that addition of Al raised the amount Al partition in u phase and ${\theta}$ precipitation in ${\beta}$ phase.

${\alpha}$-lactalbumin and ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin in whey proteins were separated by high performance membrane chromatography (HPMC). The separation mechanism involved anion-exchange, and the stationary phase was anion CIM (Convective Interaction Media) DEAE, QA disk and cation exchanger SO$_3$(16${\times}$3 mm). Two types of mobile phase were used, buffer A (20 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7.3) and buffer B(buffer A + 1 M NaCl), As the amount of NaCl dissolved in buffer linearly increased, which enabled a gradient elution mode. The optimum mobile phase and operating condition (Buffer A/Buffer B = 100/0 - 30/70 vol%, gradient time 1 min, 30/70 - 10/90 vol.%, gradient time 2 min) were experimentally determined. In this experimental condition, ${\alpha}$-lacta1bumin, ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin were separated within 5 min at a mobile phase flow rate of 4 mL/min.

Microstructure of aluminum alloys produced by the different mixing ratio of secondary ingot made by aluminum UBC (used beverage can) and virgin aluminum was investigated. The phase transitions of casted ingot by heat treatment were also studied. The alloys were melted at the electric resistance furnace, then casted using ceramic filter. Homogenization heat treatment was conducted at $615^{\circ}C$ for 10hrs to control cast microstructure. There were several kinds of phases, in as-cast condition, such as $\alpha$($Al_{12}$ $((Fe,Mn)_3$Si), $\beta$($Al_{6}$ (Fe,Mn)), and fine $Mg_2$Si phases. Especially, the amount of $\beta$-phase which was harmful in forming process was large. The $\beta$-Phase formed was transformed to u-phase by heat treatment. The fine $Mg_2$Si in the aluminum matix was also transformed to $\alpha$-phase by this heat treatment. Impurities filtered during casting process were identified as intermetallic compounds of Fe, Cu, Si.

Starch solid model system was employed to investigate the effect of lipoxygenase, ${\beta}-carotene$, ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and water activity on the oxidation of linoleic acid. The rate of oxidation of linoleic acid by lipoxygenase was increased with the increase in water activity, Addition of ${\beta}-carotene$ and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ to this system has been shown to inhibit the oxidation of linoleic acid and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ was more effective antioxidant than ${\beta}-carotene$. However, an increase in the concentration of ${\beta}-carotene$ was found to have a strong antioxidant effect in the solid model system. And also the antioxidative action of ${\beta}-carotene$ was increased with increasing water activity in this system.

The $\alpha$ to $\beta$ phase transformation of $\alpha$-Si3N4 whisker and related microstructural changes have been investigated. When only $\alpha$-Si3N4 whisker was heat treated in the range 1650~175$0^{\circ}C$, the $\alpha$ to $\beta$ phase transformation occured. In this case, it eas suggested that the oxygen content in $\alpha$-Si3N4 whisker affected the transformation behavior. Although $\alpha$-Si3N4 whisker with Si was heat treated under the same condition, however, the variation of $\beta$- fraction had a similar tendency with heat treating time. Therfore, it was considered that the oxygen content in $\alpha$-Si3N4 whisker affected the transformation behavior dominently rather than the content of added Si. The added $\beta$ phase did not affect the transformation behaviro of $\alpha$-Si3N4 whisker.

The effects of Fe and V content on the characteristics of $\beta$ to $\alpha$ phase transformation for Zr-0.8Sn alloys were studied by optical and transmission electron microscopy. With increasing V content, $\beta{\rightarrow}\alpha+\beta$ transformation temperature decreased, thus allowing the width of $\alpha$-lath to be fine air-cooled Zr-0.8Sn-xV alloys. The width of $\alpha$-lath, however, was slightly increased with Fe content. While the $\beta$ to $\alpha$ transformed microstructures of water-quenched Zr-0.8Sn, Zr-0.8Sn-0.1Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.4Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.1V and Zr-0.8Sn-0.2V were mainly slipped martensite, that of water-quenched Zr-0.8Sn-0.4V was predominantly twinned martensite. The transition of slipped martensite to twinned martensite in Zr-0.8Sn-Xv was thought to be due to the decrease of $M_S$ temperature.

월성1호기 압력관의 수소흡수 관련 자료들을 분석하였으며, 캐나다 발전소들의 결과와도 비교하였다. 압력관의 수소흡수 특성은 압력관내 위치, 사용온도, 가동이력 등에 영향을 받아 Inlet 쪽보다는 Outlet 쪽이, 사용온도가 높을수록, 또한 가동에 따른 조사량이 증가할수록 수소흡수량이 증가하였다. 한편 압력관내로의 수소흡수 거동을 규명하기 위해 Zr-2.5wt%Nb 합금의 열처리 조직 차이에 따른 수소흡수특성을 분석하였다. 수소흡수는$\alpha$-Zr 상에 비해 $\beta$-Zr, $\beta$-Nb 상에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다. 또한 합금내의 수소량 증가가 압력관 부식특성 자체에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 열처리 시편에 일정량의 수소를 charging 시킨 후 부식시험을 수행하였다. Zr-2.5wt%Nb 합금의 부식거동은 미세조직에 가장 큰 영향을 받아$\alpha$-Zr과 $\beta$-Zr 상의 시편이$\alpha$-Zr과$\beta$-Nb 상의 시편에 비해 큰 부식속도를 보였다. 또한 시편내 150ppm 이하의 수소함량은 시편의 부식거동에 별다른 영향을 없거나, 부식속도를 약간 감소시키는 것으로 추정된다.

In this experiment the Iron phthalocyanine (FePc) films on Si-wafer and alumina pallet were prepared using vacuum sublimation with conditions of changing reaction time, temperature, and deposition rate. Then, some samples were annealed following annealing. Techniques such as XRD, SEM, and resistance measurement method, were dedicated to characterize the changes of surface structure, phase transformation and electric resistance sensitivity in accordance with change of film thickness. In proportion to the decrease of deposition temperature from $370^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$, intensities of (200), (011), (211) and (114) planes of $\alpha$-phase were decreased and (100) plane of $\beta$-phase were appeared. The film thickness were controlled by regulating the volume of precursor material during rapid deposition. As a result, it was observed that crystalline particle size had been increased according to the increase of film thickness and $\alpha$-phase transformed to $\beta$-phase. In consequence of measuring the crystallinity of films annealed between $150^{\circ}C$ and $350^{\circ}C$, $\alpha$- to $\beta$-phase transformation was appeared to begin at $150^{\circ}C$ and completely transformed to $\beta$-phase at $350^{\circ}C$. Electric resistance sensitivity of FePc film to $NO_x$ gas along temperature change of FePc films was observed to be more stable with the decrease of the film thickness.

For the purpose of making clear the role of oxygen in the thermoelectric properties of FeSi$_2$, thermoelectric measurements and spectroscopic characterization were conducted for the oxidized specimens fabricated from ($\alpha$+$\varepsilon$)-phases and/or $\beta$-phase. Addition of oxygen to FeSi$_2$ prevented both densification during sintering and transformation from metallic phases to semiconducting phase during annealing treatment. In an specimens, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity decreased with oxidation time. The Seebeck coefficient was positive and small for pure FeSi$_2$. And/or the oxidized specimens fabricated from ($\alpha$+$\varepsilon$)-phases. However, it was negative and showed a maximum peak at about 500 K for the oxidized FeSi$_2$ fabricated from $\beta$-phase. The value of maximum peak increased with oxidation time.
