In this work, effects of the blend composition composed of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt% of nylon 6 to epoxy (diglycidylether of bisphenol-A, DGEBA) resin were investigated in terms of cure kinetics and thermal stability by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). As the content of the nylon 6 increased, the maximum exothermic temperature ($T_{max}$) and the value of cure activation energy ($E_a$) decreased. The maximum exothermic temperature of the blending samples decreased with increasing in nylon 6 content, resulting in the decrease in curing activation energy of them due to the rapid curing reaction with epoxy resin in this system. From TGA analysis results of the DGEBA/nylon 6, the thermal stability based on the thermal stability index ($A^*{\cdot}K^*$) and integral procedure decomposition temperature (IPDT) increased with increase in the nylon 6 content. This was because of the combination of DGEBA and nylon 6 having good heat resistance, resulting in improving thermal stability of the DGEBA/nylon 6.

Oxidtion behavior of $Si_{3}N_{4}$ ceramics with the different porosity by the Nitrided Pressureless Sintering (NPS) were investigated in pure oxygen gas atmosphere at 1000 to $1300^{circ}C$. The thickness of formed oxide film on the surface of silicon nitride ceramics was increased with oxidation time and temperature. The oxide film thickness of 5A5Y5Si and 5A5Y10Si specimens for 100 h at 1300^{circ}C$ was about 10 $\mu$m and 20 $\mu$m, respectively. The oxidation of 5A5Y5Si and 5A5Y10Si specimens follows the parabolic behavior with an apparent activation energy of 215 kJ/mol and 104 kJ/mol, respectively. The flexural strength of 5A5Y5Si specimens after oxidation test for 500 h at 1300^{circ}C were maintained as-received value of 500 ma. On the other hand, that of 5A5Y10Si specimens were decreased about 100 MPa in as-received value.

Although the interest in NBR has been increasing due to the recent developments of the aerospace sector, there are few reports on HNBR's aeronautical oil, particularly evaluations of the accelerated life of harsh factors. In this study, the tensile strength was adopted as a performance evaluation factor to evaluate the accelerated life of HNBR used in the aviation field. The accelerated stress factor affecting the performance-aging characteristics was defined as temperature. The acceleration stress factor was determined to be temperature, and the result of measuring the tensile strength change over time. The sample for the acceleration condition was taken out of the oven for a certain period and left at room temperature for 24 hours. The dumbbell type 3 specimens were manufactured according to the standard specified in KS M 6518 and were measured the tensile strength, a factor in accelerated life evaluations. The activation energy was 0.895, and the shape parameter was 1.152 using the Arrhenius model. The characteristic life obtained from the tensile strength of the HNBR specimen immersed in aviation oil at 20℃ was 272,256 hours; the average life was 258,965 hours, and the B10 life was 38,624 hours.

Characteristics of reduction and carbidization for hematite ore with a wide size range have been investigated at high temperature(590∼64$0^{\circ}C$) under $H_2$ and $H_2$-CO gas mixtures. The apparent activation energy for reduction of hematite ore with H2 gas was found to be 20 kJ/mol. The weight loss by reduction was about 28% md the weight gain by carbidization was about 5%. The measured values of weight change were compared with those calculated from equation (3) & (5) and fairly good agreement was obtained. The rate of carbidization was increased with an decrease in temperature, particle diameter and gas ratio($H_2$/ CO). The free carbon was increased with decrease in gas ratio($H_2$/ CO). The rate of carbidization was increased with mixing of $H_2$ gas but this effect was not proportional to fraction of $H_2$ gas. It was also found that the rate of carbidization was the maximum in the $H_2$ gas fraction of 0.5. It is considered that $H_2$ plays a part as a catalyst for formation of iron carbide($Fe_3$C).

This study was carried out to predict the shelf-life of emulsified red ginseng beverage. To investigate the quality changes during the storage, physicochemical properties such as acidity, pH, droplet size, Hunter's color value and sensory evaluation test were measured periodically. It was found that acidity, pH, and droplet sizes were little changed in initial stage. After about 70 days of storage, however, they tended to be changed possibly due to Maillard reaction. From the results of correlation analysis between sensory evaluation results and physicochemical characteristics, a-value was chosen as a quality index of red ginseng emulsions. Using reaction constants at various temperature, the activation energy and the $Q_{10}$ value for the a-value from Arrhenius equation found to be 13.37 kcal/mol, 1.56-2.14, respectively. It could be concluded that the shelf-life of red ginseng emulsions estimated to be 730 days (approximately 2 years) when stored at $20^{\circ}C$.

Penicillium sp. CB-20 was selected for strong polygalacturonase activity among various strains of molds found in soil. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was 5.0 and optimum temperature was 4$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was relatively stable in acidic condition and unstable by heat treatment. The activation energy, Km and V$_{max}$ for the polygalacturonase were 2.499 Kcal/mol, 2.13$\times$10$^{-2}$mol/l, and 104.17 $\mu$mol/min. The activity of polygalacturonase was inhibited by Ag$^{+}$, Cu$^{++}$, Pb$^{++}$, Fe$^{+++}$, $Ca^{++}$, Na$^+$, Mn$^{++}$. The enzyme can be inactivated by the treatment ethylenediamintetra acetic acid, 2,4-dinitrophenol and $H_2O$$_2$. The results indicate the possible involvement of histidine, chelate and terminal amino group as active site. The enzyme was endo-type polygalacturonase.

In this experiment, persulfate, a strong oxidant for ISCO (In-Situ Chemical Oxidation) was used to degraded RDX in artificial ground water at ambient temperature. Results of RDX degradation by persulfate in a batch reactor showed that the oxidation reaction was pseudo first order with estimated Ea (activation energy) of $1.14{\times}10^2kJ/mol$ and the rate was increased with the increase of reaction temperature. The oxidation of RDX by persulfate increased slightly with the increase of initial solution pH from 4 to 8. The RDX oxidation rate increased 13 times at pH 10 compared with that at pH 4, however, alkaline hydrolysis was found to be the main reaction of RDX degradation rather than oxidation. The study also showed that the oxidation rate of RDX by persulfate was linearly dependent upon the molar ratios of persulfate to RDX from 5 : 1 up to 100 : 1, with a proportion constant of $4{\times}10^{-4}$ ($min^{-1}$/molar ratio) at $70^{\circ}C$. While NOM (Natural Organic Matter) exerted negative effects on the oxidation rate of RDX by persulfate, with a proportion constant of $1.21{\times}10^{-4}$ ($min^{-1}{\cdot}L/mg-NOM$) at $70^{\circ}C$ and persulfate/NOM molar ratio of 10/1. The decrease in RDX oxidation rate was linearly dependent upon the added NOM concentration. However, the estimated activation energy in the presence of 20 mg-NOM/L was within 3.3% error compared to that without NOM, which implies the addition of NOM does not alter intrinsic oxidation reaction.

The electrical conductivities of oxidized pure and Ni-doped $SrTiO_3$ single crystals were measured as a function of the oxygen partial pressure($Po_2$) at temperature from 700 to $1200^{\circ}C$ and $Po_2$ of $10^{-8}$ to $10^{-1}$ atm. Plots of log ${\sigma}$ vs. 1/T at constant $Po_2$ were found to be linear, and the activation energies obtained from the slopes of these plots have an average value of 1.34 eV for oxidized pure and 1.06 eV for oxidized Ni-doped $SrTiO_3$ single crystals at $Po_2$'s between $10^{-8}$ to $10^{-1}$ atm. The log ${\sigma}$ vs. log $Po_2$ curves at constant temperature were found to be linear with an average slope of ${\frac{-1}{5.6}}\;{\sim}\;{\frac{-1}{6.2}}$ in the $Po_2$ ranges. From the agreement between experimental and theoretically predicted values for the electrical conductivity dependences on $Po_2$, an oxygen vacancy defect model was found applicable to oxidized pure and Ni-doped $SrTiO_3$ single crystals over the temperature range, 700~$1200^{\circ}C$. Conduction mechanisms were proposed to explain the dependences of electrical conductivity on temperature and $Po_2$.

When the conventional IPD (inter-poly-dielctrics) layer with ONO(oxide-nitride-oxide) structure was used in the Flash EEPROM cell, its data retention characteristics were significanfly degraded because the top oxide of the ONO layer was etched off due to the cleaning process used in the gate oxidation process for the peripheral MOSFETs. When the IPD layer with the ONON(oxide-nitride-oxide-nitride) was used there, however, its data retention characteristics were much improved because the top nitride of the ONON layer protected the top oxide from being etched in the cleaning process. For the modelling of the data retention characteristics of the Flash EEPROM cell with the ONON IPD layer, the decrease of the threshold voltage cue to the charge loss during the bake was here given by the empirical relation ${\Delta}V_t\; = \;{\beta}t^me^{-ea/kT}$ and the values of the ${\beta}$=184.7, m=0.224, Ea=0.31 eV were obtained with the experimental measurements. The activation energy of 0.31eV implies that the decrease of the threshold voltage by the back was dur to the movement of the trapped electrons inside the inter-oxide nitride layer. On the other hand, the results of the computer simulation using the model were found to be well consistent with the results of the electrical measurements when the thermal budget of the bake was not high. However, the latter was larger then the former in the case of the high thermal budger, This seems to be due to the leakage current generated by the extraction of the electrons with the bake which were injected into the inter-oxide niride later and were trapped there during the programming, and played the role to prevent the leakage current. To prevent the generation of the leakage current, it is required that the inter-oxide nitride layer and the top oxide layer be made as thin and as thick as possible, respectively.

Electrochemical characteristics and kinetic parameters of copper ion reduction were investigated with a platinum rotating disk electrode (RDE) in a diffusion controlled region. Reduction of Cu(II) in sulfate had one-step two-xelectron process, while the reduction of Cu(II) in chloride solution was involved two one-electron processes. The transfer coefficient of Cu(II) in sulfate solution was lowest, and the transfer coefficient of Cu(I) in halide solutions had the value of nearly one. In chloride solutions, electrodeposition rate of Cu(II) was about one hundred times faster than Cu(I). Diffusion coefficient increased in the order of Cu(II) in chloride solution, Cu(I) in the iodide, bromide, chloride solution, Cu(II) in sulfate solution. The calculated ionic radii and activation energy for diffusion decreased in the same order as above. Morphological study on the copper electrodeposition indicated that the electrode surface became rougher as both concentration and reduction potential increases, and the roughness of the surface was analyzed with UV/VIS spectrophotometer.
