We propose a measurement method for evaluating constituent contents of carbon fiber/epoxy composites through a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The sample used in the test was taken from a strand specimen made of carbon fiber/epoxy tow prepreg, and the change in weight of the sample over time was measured in real time. Using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), we examine the thermal damage condition of the carbon fiber depending on whether resin was removed or not. We find that it was possible to test even a small amount of sample when using TGA vis-à-vis using a conventional muffle furnace. In addition, TGA enables the temperature and exposure time to be controlled, allowing the constituent contents of composite materials to be efficiently and quantitatively evaluated.

석탄화력발전소 폐기물인 석탄회로 포집한 세슘의 환원분위기(He+4% H$_2$)하에서 고온안정성 분석을 위하여 몰비를 0.1에서 1.5까지 변화시켜 제조한 시료를 머플로에서 열처리 및 XRD로 분석하였다 Cs/Al의 몰비가 증가할 수록 세슘 포집량이 증가하였다. 세슘 포집량 0.48(g-Cs$_2$O/g-fly ash) 이상에서 부터 pollucite 상 이외에 CsAlSiO$_4$상이 나타나기 시작하였고 세슘 포집량이 증가할 수록 CsAlSiO$_4$ 상이 증가하였다. 세슘 포집량 0.15(g-Cs$_2$O/g-fly ash) 까지 세슘의 휘발로 인한 무게감량은 없었고, 포집량 0.32(g-Cs$_2$O/g-fly ash)부터는 포집량이 증가할 수록 무게감량이 증가하였다. 이는 세슘 포집량이 증가할 수록 세슘 증기압이 큰 CsAlSiO$_4$상이 증가하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

The fine aggregates of below 2 mm size was fabricated using by the vertical furnace in which the aggregates could be sintered at floating state and its physical properties were analyzed. The liquid formed at the surface of specimens sintered at $1200{\sim}l300^{\circ}C$ induced a gas in core to expand so the denser shell and porous core could be produced. The C series specimen fabricated by crushing an extruded body had an irregular shape and sharp edges but those became spheroidized by bloating due to gas expansion inside. The fine aggregates fabricated in this study was as light as floating in the water and had an apparent density of $0.68{\sim}1.08$. The absorption rate was proportioned to a porosity showing that the pores in core was not closed completely. The properties of fine aggregates fabricated in vertical furnace were similar with those of in an electric muffle furnace but the sticking-together phenomenon by surface fusion was not occurred in the vertical furnace. The aggregates fabricated in this study had a little lower impact resistance than that of natural aggregate but satisfied the unit volume weight standard specified in KS.

Current display manufacturing processes apply thermal treatment of glass backplanes widely for hydrogen degassing, crystallization of thin-films, tempering, forming, and precompaction. Estimation of the characteristics of transient heating stages and thermal non-uniformities on a single glass substrate or in a stack of glasses are extremely helpful to understand non-homogeneity of mechanical and electronic features of nano/micro structures of end products. Based on simple heat transfer models and using an electric muffle furnace, temperature variations in a glass stack were predicted and measured for glass backplanes of $1.5{\times}1.85m^2$ in size and 0.7 mm in thickness. Except for the period of putting glass backplanes into the furnace, thermal radiation was the major heating mechanism for the treatment and theoretical predictions agreed well to the experimental temperatures on the backplanes. Using the theoretical model, thermal fields for a glass stack of glass-size, $2.2{\times}2.5m^2$, and of the number of sheets, 1 to 12, were calculated for practical design and manufacturing of the muffle furnace for large-scale displays, e.g. up to $8^{th}$ generation.
