PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) 섬유는 습식방사방법을 적용하여 제조하였다. PVDF 분자 내 압전 특성과 밀접한 관련을 갖는 ${\beta}$형태의 결정 함량을 높이기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 습식방사 된 섬유에 1단계 연신, 2단계 어닐링 공정으로 구성하여 후 처리를 도입하였다. 후 처리는 PVDF 고분자의 유리전이 온도($T_g$)와 용융온도($T_m$) 사이의 온도범위에서 진행하여, 최대의 ${\beta}$형태 결정을 생성 할 수 있는 열처리 조건을 최적화 하였다. 제조된 PVDF 섬유 내 분자 배향 특성과 결정 구조를 확인하기 위하여 적외선 분광 광도계(FT-IR)와 X선 회절 분석기(XRD)를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 전자현미경(SEM)을 통하여 섬유의 표면을 관찰하여 섬유의 평균직경을 확인하였다. 분석 결과, 후 처리 공정이 PVDF 결정 구조의 영향을 미치며, ${\beta}$형태의 결정 비율을 증가시킨다는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어 ${\beta}$형태 결정 향상으로 인해 기계적 강도가 증가되었으며, 압전 특성 향상까지 기대할 수 있었다.

A brush type chiral stationary phase (CSP 2) derived from ${\alpha}$-amino ${\beta}$-lactam was prepared for the separation of the enantiomers of ${\beta}$-blockers. Compared to the CSP derived from ${\alpha}$-amino phosphonate (CSP 1), in general, the conformationally rigid CSP 2 showed greater scope and much enhanced enantioselectivity for the resolution of ${\beta}$-blockers. The effect of various salt additives on enantioseparation of ${\beta}$-blockers in the mobile phase was investigated. The unusual effect of temperature on the chromatographic behaviors was observed on CSP 2. It also afforded appreciable increases in enantioselectivity without significantly affecting resolution, as the column temperature was reduced.

Zr-xNb alloys (x = 0.2, 0.8, 1.5 wt.%) were prepared to study the characteristics of the phase transformation in Zr-Nb system. The samples were heat treated at ${\beta}$-temperature ($1020^{\circ}C$) for 20 min and then cooled with different cooling rate. The microstructures of the specimens having the same compositions were changed with cooling rate and Nb content. The Widmanst$\ddot{a}$tten structure was observed on the furnace-cooled sample. The relationship between ${\alpha}$-Widmanst$\ddot{a}$tten and ${\beta}$-phase was the {0001}${\alpha}$//{110}${\beta}$, <11$\bar{2}$0>//<111>. The ${\beta}$-phase in Widmanst$\ddot{a}$tten structure of Zr-Nb alloys containing Nb more than solubility limit was identified as ${\beta}_{Zr}$ phase which was a stable phase at high temperature. In the water quenched samples, two kinds of martensite structures were observed depending on the Nb-concentration. The lath martensite was formed in Zr-0.2, 0.8 wt.% Nb alloys and the plate martensite having twins was formed in Zr-1.5 wt.% Nb alloy.

Phase transformation phenomenon at high temperature was investigated by using designed TiAl-Nb alloys with addition of the ${\beta}$ stabilizer. Examination of dendritic morphologies in arc-melted button ingot could reveal the crystallography of the primary solidification phase. It was found that the addition of ${\beta}$ stabilizer(Nb) shifted the high temperature region of the binary Ti-Al phase diagram to the high Al composition side so that ${\beta}$ phase forms as a primary crystal even at higher Al composition compared with the binary Ti-Al system. The ${\beta}$ was found to be the primary solidification phase for alloys with Al content less than about 52 at.%. The composition of ${\beta}$ solidification in Ti-Al-Nb ternary system could be determined from the partial liquidus projection which was constructed by observing the microstructure of arc-melted buttons. The Ti-46Al-(6, 8)Nb composition was selected for ${\beta}$ solidification and the directional solidification was performed by a floating zone-type DS apparatus at the growth rate 30 mm/hr respectively.

The self-reinforced Si3N4 ceramics were prepared by pressureless-sintering using ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers as a seed. Effects of ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers on microstructure and mechanical properties and the ${\alpha}$ to ${\beta}$ phase transition of Si3N4 were investigated. The self-reinforced Si3N4 ceramics were densified(relative density$\geq$98%) by pressureless-sintering (1800$^{\circ}C$ 2h) using 8mol% Y2O3 and 6mol% Al2O3 as sintering aids and 5 vol% ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers within self-reinforced Si3N4 ceramic seemed to hinder the densification owing to their acicular shapes but accelerated the ${\alpha}$ to ${\beta}$ phase transition because they acted as pre-existing nuclei. It was found that the more ${\beta}$-Si3N4 nucei the faster ${\alpha}$ to ${\beta}$ phase transition.

The use of titanium alloys as biomaterials is increasing due to their superior biocompatibility and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to conventional stainless steels and cobalt-based alloys. Ti-6Al-4V ($\alpha+\beta$type) alloy instead of pure titanium ($\alpha$type) is being widely used as biomaterials has some characteristics such as high fatigue strength, tensile strength and corrosion resistance. But it has been reported recently that the vanadium element expresses cytotoxicity and the aluminium element is related with dementia of Alzheimer type and neurotoxicity. In order to overcome their detrimental effects, $\beta$-phase stabilizer Nb was chosen in the present study. This paper was described the influence of phase changes of Ti-Nb alloys on mechanical properties. Ti-3wt.%Nb($\alpha$type),Ti-20wt.%Nb($\alpha+\beta$type) and Ti-40wt.%Nb($\beta$type) alloys were melted by vacuum arc furnace. The specimens were homogenized at 1050$^{\circ}C$ for 24hr and were then hot rolled to 50% reduction. Each alloys were solution heat treated at $\beta$ zone and $\alpha+\beta$ zone after homogenization and then were aged. The mechanical properties of Ti alloys were analysed by hardness test, tensile test, elongation test and SEM test. The results can be summarized as follows: 1) The higher hardness value of $\alpha+\beta$type alloy was obtained compared to the, $\alpha,\beta$type alloys. 2) The aged treated showed better hardness compared to the solution heat treated, homogenized. 3) In the case of solution and aging treatment at $\beta$region, the $\alpha+\beta$type alloy showed the most highest tensile strength and $\beta$type alloy showed the best elongation.

The effect of heat treating temperature and ${\alpha}$ phase In the ${\beta}$ phase matrix were investigated for ${\beta}-CuZnAl$ shape memory alloys by tension test, fatigue test, and shape memory effect test. After heat treatment at $677^{\circ}C$, $750^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$ and $850^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. respectively, static fracture stress(${\sigma}_f$), fatigue fracture stress(${\tau}_{max}$) at $10^6$ cycle, and elongation(${\epsilon}_f$) was $24.2kg/mm^2$, $17.21kg/mm^2$ and 11.8%, respectively. As heat treating temperature decreased, fracture surfaces of the specimens were changed from the intergranular to the transgranular fracture mode. Especially, the a phase precipitated in the ${\beta}$ phase matrix had an effect on crack propagation and the fracture surface was characterized by dimple-like pattern when crack propagated in transgranular cracking mode. Precipitation of the ${\alpha}$ phase in the ${\beta}$ phase matrix lowered the transformation temperature by $10^{\circ}C$, and about 2.5 vol.% ${\alpha}$ phase did not affect the shape memory effect examined by the bending test.

In the Fe-Si system, a mixture of a($Fe_{2}Si_5$) - and ${\epsilon}$(FeSi)-composition powders was sintered and heat-treated subsequently at various temperatures and time to get thermoelectric ${\beta}$-phase($FeSi_2$) compacts. The different transformational sequences depending on the heat treating temperature were found through the investigation into phase transformation and microstructural development. That is, a rapid eutectoid decomposition of ${\alpha}{\to}{\beta}+Si$ occurred together with a accompanying slow reaction between the dispersed Si formed by above decomposition and the preexisted ${\epsilon}$ phase at temperatures below $830^{\circ}C$. The unreacted Si and the micropores formed due to the density change upon the transformation coarsened as heat treating time elapsed. At temperatures above $880^{\circ}C$, however, transformation was proceeded by a peritectoid reaction of ${\alpha}+{\epsilon}{\to}{\beta}$. It took at least 200min. to achieve 90% volume fracion of transformed ${\beta}$ phase, and the growth of micro-pores was also observed in this transformational sequence with prolonged heat treating time.

EF-TEM 직접가열 실험을 통하여 titanium의 ${\alpha}-{\beta}$상전이를 연구하였다. 통계적 오차를 줄이기 위해 서로 다른 3군데의 titanium foil의 영역을 관찰하였고, 각각의 영역에 대해 단계별로($RT{\rightarrow}600{\rightarrow}900{\rightarrow}RT$) 회절패턴과 이미지를 기록하였다. 이 연구를 통해 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) Titanium은 $900^{\circ}C$에서 급격히 상전이가 진행된다. 이 온도에서는 ${\alpha}$와 ${\beta}$-상이 같이 존재한다. (2) 상전이가 일어난 ${\beta}$-상의 영역은 쌍정구조를 가진 plate 형태로 나타나며, 그들은 서로 상호 회전 배열되어 있다. (3) 전자회절도형과 EDS 분석 결과, $600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 가열에서는 열적 산화에 의해 Ti의 산화물이 표면에서 생성되기 시작하며 이들은 냉각 시 Ti의 ${\beta}{\rightarrow}{\alpha}$ 가역 상전이를 저해한다.

In an attempt to enhance phase transformation and homogenization of Mn-doped $FeSi_2$, mechanical alloying of elemental powders was applied. Cold pressing and sintering in vacuum were carried out to produce a dense microstructure, and then isothermal annealing was employed to induce a phase transformation to the $\beta$-$FeSi_2$semiconductor. Phase transitions in this alloy system during the process were investigated by using XRD, EDS and SEM. As-milled powders after 100 h of milling were shown to be metastable state. As-sintered iron silicides consisted of untransformed mixture of $\alpha$-$Fe_2$$Si_{5}$and $\varepsilon$-FeSi phases. $\beta$-$FeSi_2$phase transformation was induced by subsequent isothermal annealing at $830^{\circ}C$, and near single phase of $\beta$-$FeSi_2$was obtained after 24 h of annealing. Thermoelectric properties in terms of Seebeck coefficient, and electrical conductivity were evaluated and correlated with phase transformation. Seebeck coefficient electrical resistivity and hardness increased with increasing annealing time due to $\beta$ phase transformation.
