The acrylonitrile copolymer/dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions were prepared to investigate the gelation behavior and critical gel concentration (c＊). Gelation is rapidly progressed with the increase of molecular weight of copolymer, but significantly delayed with supercooling temperature and comonomer contents. The c＊ behavior showed contrary trend against gelation behavior. In dynamic viscoelastic test, two glass-transition region were observed in film obtained from gelled solution whereas one glass-transition in film obtained from true solution. This result supports the idea that an ordered junction zone is formed by the dipole-dipole interaction of intermolecularly neighboring stereo-regular parts of atactic acrylonitrile copolymer chains due to a nucleation process in the solution.

DSC was used to investigate the thermal mechanism of acorn and corn starch with or without saccharides on gelation and retrogradation. When the samples were starch-saccharide-water system (s-s-w), from measuring of gelation enthalpy and temperatures of initial gelation, peak and conclusion(T$\_$0/, T$\_$p/, T$\_$c/), those of s-s-w system were higher than those of stank-water system (s-w). The retrogradation enthalpy of acorn starch and corn starch was straightly increasing by DSC measurement as storage times. This increase meant slowly becoming recrygtallization of amylopectin. In retrogyadation process, the starch-saccharide-water system's enthalpy was also increased. After 7 days went, the value of the enthalpy was steady. Saccharides were retarding retrogrodation because of stopping the recrystallization of amylopectin. Especially in using fructose and maltose, the retrogradation effect of maltose was well. These elements took effect the number of juntion zone, one of equatorial OH and dynamic hydration number. As these three elements were increasing, a starch-Rel-system was stabilizing.

The effects of 1 mol% N-benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate(BPH) as a thermal latent initiator and blend compositions composed of cycloaliphatic and DGEBA epoxies were investigated in the rheological properties and cure kinetics. Latent properties were performed by measurement of the conversion as a function of reaction time using isothermal DSC at $150^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ Rheological properties of the blend systems were investigated in terms of isothermal experiments using a rheometer. The gelation time was obtained from the evaluation of storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G") and damping factor (tan$\delta$)). Cross-linking activation energy ($E_c$) was also determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the gel time and cross-linking activation energy increased with increasing DGEBA composition. The cure activation energies ($E_a$) were obtained by Kissinger method using dynamic DSC thermograms. In this work, the cure activation energy decreased with increasing CAE concentration, which might be resulted from the short repeat units, simple side-groups and viscosity of reaction media.edia.

For the process control of silicon nitride gelcasting, the effect of MeOH on the apparent gel induction time of slip, drying rate, and mechanical property of gelcast body were investigated. The apparent gel induction time showed maximum at 10~20 vol% MeOH and the drying rate of gelcast body increased in the ranged of 25~40%. The gelcast body was still machinable in the 40% of MeOH, though the mechanical property and relative density slightly decreased with increasing the amount of MeOH.

The experiment was carried out to investigate the properties of bark extractives form Larix epilepsies and to evacuate their suitability as a bonding agent. The yield and reactivity were measured to examine the influence of temperature and time and the effect of carbonation and sulfonation. To define the possibility of practical application as wood adhesives the viscosity and gelation time were measured at 33% concentration. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. As the both yield and reactivity were high, extraction for 2 hours at $80^{\circ}C$ was the optimal temperature and time. 2. The highest effect achieved at 1% $Na_2CO_3$ about carbonation and 1% $Na_2SO_3$ : $NaHSO_3$ and 0.25% $Na_2SO_3$ about sulfonation. The sulfonation of 0.25% $Na_2SO_3$ increased the yield and reactivity most highly. 3. By using hot water as extraction liquid the yield was 17.2%, while the addition of 1% and 5% NaOH to the extraction liquid increased the yield to 38.6% and 44.6%, respectively. 4. Hot water extracts showed the highest reactivity(68.8%). The addition of 1% and 5% NaOH led to decrease in reactivity(49.3% and 25.8%, respectively). 5. At 33% concentration of the extracts the viscosity appeared very variable. Significantly high values of viscosity was measured in 1% NaOH solution, while very low values appeared for 5% NaOH solution. 6. The shortest gelation time was determined at pH 7 to 10 and the highest at pH 4. The use of paraformaldehyde resulted in gelation times longer than those of 37% formaldehyde solution. 7. Except the sulfonation extracts of hot water and 1% NaOH, the other extracts were found unsuitable due to high viscosity(1% NaOH extracts, sulfonation extracts) or to curing inability(5% NaOH extracts, sulfonation extracts of 5% NaOH). 8. From the three extract solutions which appeared to be suitable for use as bonding agents the hot water extracts and the sulfonation extracts of hot water were superior in extract reactivity, while the sulfonation extracts of 1% NaOH exceeded the other two extracts in extract yield.

In recent years Sol-Gel processing provides an interesting alternative method for the fabrication of ferroelectric thin layers and powder. PZT powder was prepared from an alkoxide-based solution by a Sol-Gel method. Gelation of synthesized complex solutions, microstructure, thermal analysis and crystallization behaviors of the calcined powder were studied in accordance with a water content and a catalyst. Especially gelation and crystallization behavior were analysed with the change of pH. The gelation time decreased as the pH of the mixed solution increased. For PZT powder with 650.deg. C heat treatment, 100% perovskite phase was formed by using either acidic or basic catalyst. By using either acidic or basic catalyst, we were able to get very fine powders of uniform shape with an average particle size of 0.8-1.mu.m.

Optimum reaction conditions for gel formation of rapeseed, Brassica napus, protein catalyzed by microbial TGase(transglutaminase) were evaluated by measuring breaking strength and deformation of gel. The polymerization of the protein gel was ascertained by SDS-PAGE and content of GL crosslinking$[{\varepsilon}-({\gamma}-glutamyl)lysine]$. In the reaction between rapeseed protein and TGase at $45^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, the breaking strength and deformation of the gel was the maximum at the ratio of 1 : 40 of enzyme to substrate. 10%(w/v) of rapeseed protein concentrate was optimum for gel production. The maximum breaking strength and deformation was shown at $45^{\circ}C$ The breaking strength increased linearly up to 90 min of the reaction time and remained unchanged. The breaking strength and deformation by TGase treatment was pH dependent and pH 7 was optimum for 10% rapeseed protein solution. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that new band of highmolecular polymers were formed by the enzyme reaction, with disappearing the original bands of rapeseed protein. According to HPLC analysis. the content of GL crosslinking was increased from 0 to $7.14\;{\mu}mol/g$ gel for 90 min of the reaction time.

DMF is not a good solvent for PVA. There is no solvent-PVA interaction such as H-bonding. DMF/PVA makes a UCST system. DMF/PVA makes a gel through crystallization-induced gelation. X-ray, thermal analysis, and other experimental proofs are presented. The gelation rate was faster at low temperature. Small addition of PEG increased the rate of gelation, but urea decreased the rate. SEM showed the phase demixing process very clearly. In the early stage of gelation, only phase demixing was occurring at a low rate. Hence, no holes appear in the early stage photographs. As demixing proceeded further, the holes began to appear and the sizes became bigger. DMF phase remains many holes after vaporization and PVA phase constitute the matrix phase.
