We synthesized liquid crystalline polymers containing isosorbide group as a cholesteric derivative and methylene group for controlling the transition temperature to the liquid crystal phase. Effects of the concentration of the isosorbide group and the position of the methylene group on the properties of the liquid crystalline polymer were investigated. Among all the synthesized polymers, polymers (MnHI-x) with a methylene group in the main chain showed higher melting transition temperature and thermal stability than those (SnBI-x) with a methylene group in the side chain. All the synthesized polymers showed an enantiotropic liquid crystal phase. The polymers having 10 mol% isosorbide as a cholesteric liquid crystal phase derivative showed nematic phase, and those having 20 mol% or more isosorbide showed a cholesteric or chiral smectic phase. Thus, we can conclude that the isosorbide group plays a role as a cholesteric liquid crystal phase derivative.

In describing the plastic deformation behaviour of fine grained materials a phase mixture model in which a polycrystalline material is regarded as a mixture of a crystalline phase and a grain boundary phase has been successful. The deformation mechanism for the grain boundary phase which is necessary for applying the phase mixture model is modelled as a diffusional flow of matter though the grain boundary. The proposed model can explain the strain rate and grain size dependence of the strength of the grain boundary phase.

Commercial nano crystalline $TiO_2$ powders were used to characterize photocatalyst, using thermal spray coating technique. The microstructure of coating layers were examined by SEM, FE-SEM and TEM. Also the cross sectional areas of TiO$_2$ coating layers were observed by SEM. The phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction methed. Surface roughness and hardness were measured. It was found that phase transformation from anatase to rutile occurred, and the melted splats are all rutile, and unmeted nano particles were anatase. These unmelted anatase phase may enhance te play a role of photocatalyst.

The peroxo titanic acid solution was successfully prepared using titanium trichloride as a precursor. The basic properties of the TiO2 film prepared by the solution were investigated in view of phase change, bandgap energy, crystalline size etc. The film displayed amorphous TiO$_2$ at room temperature, anatase above 281$^{\circ}C$ and a mixture of anatase and rutile at 99$0^{\circ}C$, The crystalline size increases with annealing temperatures, while the bandgap energies decrease due to the quantum size effect and the formation of rutile phase which has low bandgap energy. As a result of TG-DTA, it was found that annealing treatment at 99$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h formed a mixtures of anatase and rutile through three steps: (1) the removal of physically adsorbed water (2) the decomposition of peroxo group (3) amorphous-anatase or anatase-rutile phase transformation.

Cellulose is extremely difficult to dissolve cellulose in water and most common organic solvents due to their stiff molecular structure, close chain packing and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Recently, cellulose solutions using ionic liquids (ILs) as a green solvent have been known to form cholesteric liquid crystalline phase at high cellulose concentration. In this study, the phase transition and rheological behaviors of concentrated cellulose/[AMIM]Cl solution were investigated using polarized optical microscopy and rheometry. Studies were conducted to characterize the influence of cellulose concentration on the phase transition of the cellulose solution and the mechanical properties of the regenerated fibers spun from the anisotropic cellulose/[AMIM]Cl solutions.

[ $TiO_2-V_2O_5$ ] sol was prepared using sol-gel method. Sol changed to gel with hydrolysis and polymerization. DTA properties of gel powder had endothermic reaction due to evaporation of propanol about $80^{\circ}C$, had exothermic reaction due to combustion of propanol about $230^{\circ}C$ and had exothermic reaction due to combustion of alkyl group about $350^{\circ}C$. Crystalline properties of gel powder retained amorphous phase at $50^{\circ}C$, retained anatase phase from $400^{\circ}C\;to\;600^{\circ}C$ and had all rutile phase over $700^{\circ}C$ at 0.01mole $V_2O_5$ additive. The capacitance of thin films increased with increasing heat treatment temperature and thin films had best properties at $700^{\circ}C$. The capacitance of thin films increased a lot with decreasing measurement frequency.

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra were measured for 15Li$_{2}$O.3Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$.78SiO$_{2}$. 4K$_{2}$O glass system after UV irradiations. Optimum UV irradiation time of Li$_{2}$O.SiO$_{2}$ crystalline phase was 60 seconds and crystalline phase of Li$_{2}$O.SiO$_{2}$ was leached out on 5% HF. 977 cm$^{1}$ band of FT-Raman spectra can be attributed to two-non bridging oxygen in unit cell for 1 hour and optimum crystallization was confirmed for 3 hrs, 630.deg.

The phase transition from amorphous to crystalline states, and vice versa, of $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ films by applying electrical pulses have been studied. This material can be used as nonvolatile memory. The reversible phase transition between the amorphous and crystalline states, which is accompanied by a considerable change in electrical resistivity, is exploited as means to store bits of information. The nonvolatile memory cells are composed of a simple sandwich (metal/chalcogenide/metal). It was formed that the threshold voltage depends on thickness, electrode distance, annealing time and temperature, respectively.

Immiscible polymer blends containing a liquid crystalline polymer dispersed phase can be described by existing blend theories when the dispersed-phase droplets are large relative to the orientation correlation length ("domain size") of the LCP. There does not appear to be an interfacial contribution to the linear viscoelastic properties of the blend from droplets smaller than the correlation length. Polyester blends, where interfacial interactions occur between the LCP and the matrix, exhibit a reduction in viscosity to below the viscosity of either component at low shear rates, where the droplet morphology is spherical. These anomalies cannot be explained in the context of existing theory.ng theory.

Single crystalline films of La doped YIG(yttrium iron garnet) were grown by the liquid phase epitaxy. The lattice constants of films obtained by DCD(double crystalline diffractometer) measurement increased with increasing La contents in films. In particular, lattice constants of films grown wiht Y/La=20 solution were nearly same as those of GGG (gadolinium gallium garnet) substrate. The saturation magnetization measured with VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer) was about 1750Gauss which is the same as that of pure YIG irrespective of La contents in films. FMR(ferromagnetic resonance) linewidth of La doped YIG was smaller than that of pure YIG. Since appropriate La doping decreases the lattice mismatch between film and substrate, the FMR linewidth was Y/La=20 in this experiment.
