Epoxidized polybutadiene (EPB) was prepared by polybutadiene (PB) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) in homogeneous solution. EPB was blended with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) up to 30 wt% by solution-precipitation procedure. The thermal decomposition of PHB/EPB blends was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The thermograms of PHB/EPB blends contained a two-step degradation process, while that of pure PHB sample exhibited only one-step degradation process. This degradation behavior of PHB/EPB blends, which have a higher thermal stability as measured by maximum decomposition temperature and residual weight, is probably due to crosslinking reactions of the epoxide groups in the EPB component with the carboxyl chain ends of PHB fragments during the degradation process, and the occurrence of such reactions can be assigned to the exothermic peaks in their DTA thermograms.

The basic characteristics of glass are highly fragile and brittle consequences the ultimate purpose of glass manufacturing is to make a transparent glass with complex shape. In order to solve this problem, mechanical properties of glass can be increased by crystallization of its amorphous glass. However, glass-ceramics has become opaque through crystallization process due to the distracted interface of glass by precipitated particles. This study has been investigated thermal processing conditions of LAS transparent glass-ceramic by using DTA (differential thermal analysis), in order to control size of precipitated particle and then fabricate transparent glass-ceramic. DTA indicated that crystallization peak area was declined with increased nucleation temperature. Subsequently, we have been established optimum temperature for crystallization depending on the nucleation temperature. The transmission and thermal expansion were measured after crystallization, and the size of precipitated particle was identified in range of 20~100 nm by FE-SEM. In addition, by setting the optimized crystallization condition, with high transmission and low thermal expansion glass was synthesized through this experiment.

Some or the parameters affecting the thermal analysis of different types of ground tobacco have been discussed. The sample, Korean flue- cured and burley and Greek orient tobacco leaves were run in air at heating rate of $10^{\circ}$ and 20^{\circ}C$ per minute. The thermograms obtained were divided into four temperature zones. The effect of different heating rates on thermal degradation has been discussed At the lower heating rate the maxima of DTA curves in zone 3 and 4 were 25-$40^{\circ}C$ lower than that of the higher heating rate.

석탄화력발전소 폐기물인 석탄회와 요오드화 세슘의 반응특성을 DTA(Differential Thermal Analysis), TGA(Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis) 장치를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본연구에 사용된 석탄회는 85%의 실리카와 알루미나를 함유하고 있으며 Si/Al 몰비는 2.1 이었다. DTA와 TGA의 열분석 결과 CsI의 분해, 석탄회와 기체상 세슘의 반응 등으로 이루어져 있다. 석탄회와 CsI의 혼합물은 94$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 Pollucite 가 형성되었다. 반응생성물들의 SEM 분석결과 표면이 거칠며 bulky한 crystal 형태로서 구형의 석탄회와는 매우 다른 형상을 보였다. 석탄회는 요오드화세슘의 고정화를 위해서 적합한 알루미노규산염 원료물질들 중의 하나임을 확인하였다.

The thermochemical stability of $Ni^{2+}-faujasite$ was studied by differential thermal analysis(DTA), thermal gravitational analysis(TGA), X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD) and quantum chemical calculations. Dehydration of $Ni^{2+}-faujasite$ was observed at 373-773K. A CNDO/2 calculations have been applied on cluster models for the representative T sites in faujasite to get total energy and wiberg bond orders. It has proved that the decrease of zeolitic crystallinity is directly related to the weakening of Al-O bonds in framework.

To investigate the pyrolytic and anatomical characteristics of Korean softwood, Pinus densi-flora, Pinus rigida and Larix leptolepis, and hardwood, Acer palntatum, Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Quercus variabilis, chemical components analysis, TG-DTA (Thermogravimetric Analysis & Differential Thermal Analysis), MBA (Methylene Blue Adsorption) test and SEM observation were carried out. For TG-DTA, samples were carbonized up to $800^{\circ}C$ at the heating rate of $10^{\circ}C$/min under $N_2$ flows 1 l/min using thermogravimetric analyzer. Chemical component analysis of all samples resulted in typical contents of major wood component. In TG-DTA results, softwood showed higher char yield than hardwood, and lignin displayed the highest char yield among the major wood components. All samples showed typical TGA, DTG and DTA curves for wood pyrolysis except a few differences between softwood and hardwood. Content of lignin influenced its pyrolysis characteristics, while molecular structure of lignin affected not only the weight loss but also the yield of char. In MBA test results, MBA of softwoods was higher than that of hardwoods. Char of Pinus densiflora showed the highest MBA, but its degree was lower than activated carbon or fine charcoal about 23 and 4 times, respectively. SEM observation showed carbonization process preserves wood structure and retain the micro-structure of wood fibers.

Applicability of crystallization kinetics on thermal analysis was investigated for PbO-TiO2-B2O3-BaO glass systems together with theoretical background of kinetics and electron microscopic observations on nu-cleation and crystallization. Kissinger equation can be used on DTA under the assumption that the nucleus density is fixed during DTA runs. Crystallization mechanism affected on the activation energy Ek obtained from powder samples which is used for domination of surface crystallization. Avrami parameter n that was obtained from Ozawa equation represented closely the crystallization mechanisms observed by an electron microscope. The modified Kissinger equation takes into account crystallization mechanism thereby pro-ducing the true activation energy of crystallization.

Nucleation and crystallzation of a quaternary glass system for lead titanate glass-ceramics were in-vestigated using DTA(differential thermal analysis ) with variation of nucleation temperature and crystal growth time. Glass samples containing 60mol% of PbO-{{{{ { TiO}_{2 } }} were prepared from melts by the conventional normal cooling method in a cylindrical brass mould. The glass sample was nucleated between 40$0^{\circ}C$ and 50$0^{\circ}C$ for a given time and showed the maximum nucleation rate at 46$0^{\circ}C$ The DTA crystallization peak temperature decreased with increasing nucleating time and decreasing heating rate during DTA runs which indicated an increase of the number of nuclei produced in the system.

The effects of $Al_2O_3$ on the crystallization behavior of glass compositions in the $Na_2O$-CaO-$SiO_2$ system were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of $Al_2O_3$ content on the mechanical properties, density, phase formation, and microstructures of $Na_2O$-CaO-$P_2O_5$-$SiO_2$ glass ceramics were studied. The thermal parameters of each glass were studied by DTA. The density of the glass ceramic samples was measured by Archimedes' method. It was found that the glass-ceramic containing 2.0 molar percent $Al_2O_3$ had desirable sintering behavior and reached an acceptable density. Phase investigation and micro-structural analysis were performed by XRD and SEM, respectively.

A Ni-Ti-B alloy powder prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) of individual Ni, Ti, and B components is examined with the aim of elucidating the phase transitions and crystallization during heat treatment. Ti and B atoms penetrating into the Ni lattice result in a Ni (Ti, B) solid solution and an amorphous phase. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) reveals peaks related to the decomposition of the metastable Ni (Ti, B) solid solution and the separation of equilibrium $Ni_3Ti$, $TiB_2$, and ${\tau}-Ni_20Ti_3B_6$ phases. The exothermal effects in the DTA curves move to lower temperatures with increasing milling time. The formation of a $TiB_2$ phase by annealing indicates that the mechanochemical reaction of the Ni-Ti-B alloy does not comply with the alloy composition in the ternary phase diagram, and Ti-B bonds are found to be more preferable than Ni-B bonds.
