Two azole compounds viz., Imidazole (IM) and 2-Methylimidazole (2-MIM) were studied to investigate their inhibiting action on corrosion of mild steel in phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) solution by mass loss and polarization techniques at 302K-333K. It has been found that the inhibition efficiency of the all inhibitors increased with increase in inhibitor concentration and decreases with increasing temperature and also with increase in acid concentrations. The inhibition efficiency of these compounds showed very good inhibition efficiency. At 0.5% of IM and 2-MIM in 1N and 5N phosphoric acid solution at 302K to 333K for 5 hours immersion period, the inhibition efficiency of 2-Methylimidazole found to be higher than Imidazole. The adsorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface from the acids has been found to obey Tempkin's adsorption isotherm. The values of activation energy ($E{\alpha}$) and free energy of adsorption (${\Delta}G{\alpha}ds$) were also calculated. The plots of log $W_f$ against time (days) at 302K give straight line which suggested that it obeys first order kinetics and also calculate the rate constant k and half life time $t_{1/2}$. Surface was analyzed by SEM and FITR spectroscopy.

In this study, the TSC spectroscopy has been applied to investigate the influence of structural change due to a process of curing reaction on the electrical properties of epoxy composites cured with acid-anhydride. Five TSC peaks appeared in -160-250[.deg.C]: in the low temperature region below glass transition temperature(T$\_$g/), three relaxation mode peaks due to action of side chains, substitution group or terminal groups have been observed, a peak associated with T$\_$g/, appeared in 110[.deg. C] and p peak due to ionic space charges located in 150[.deg.C]. Each peak was separated into elementary peaks by the partial polarization procedure, and the distribution of activation energy and relaxation time were analized to clearify the origin of each peak. Also, overaboundantly added hardener separated a .betha. peak near 10[.deg. C] into two peaks of .betha.$\_$1/(10.deg. C) and .betha.$\_$2/(20.deg. C) according to increasement of forming field, and the separated hardener was oxidated thermally with increasing surrounding temperatures. The expansion of the free volume need in molecular motion and the reduction of the structural packing density through thermal oxidation process increased TSC between .alpha. peak and .betha. peak and decreased T$\_$g/.

We investigated the structural and dielectric properties of PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered thin films that fabricated by the alkoxide-based Sol-Gel method. PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered thin films were spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate with PZT(20/80) film of tetragonal structure and PZT(80/20) film of rhombohedral structure by turns. Each layers were dried to remove the organic materials at 30$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min and sintered at $650^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. This procedure was repeated several times to form PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered films and thickness of the film obtained by one-times of drying/sintering process was approximately 80-90nm. PZt-1, 3, 5 films with top layer of PZT(20/80) film of tetragonal structure showed fine grain structure and PZT-2, 4, 6 films with top layer of PZT(80/20) film of rhombohedral structure showed the dense grain microstructure without rosette-type. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PZT-6 film were approximaterly 1385 and 3.3% respectively. Increasing the number of coatings remanent polarization was increased and coercive field was decreased and the values of the PZT-6 film were 8.13$\mu$C/cm$^2$and 12.5kV/cm respectively.

Frequency-dependent electrical properties of $C_{22}$-Quinolinium(TCNQ) LB films were investigated in a frequency range of 10[Hz]-13[MHz] along a perpendicular direction. The films were heat-treated to understand an electrodynamic response in a temperature range of 20-240[.deg. C]. Frequencydependent dielectric constants show that there are two characteristic dispersions; one is a dispersion occuring near 1[MHz] coming from the orientational polarization of the molecules and the other one is an interfacial polarization effect below 1[kHz] or so when the annealing temperature is above 80 [.deg. C]. The overall frequency-dependent dielectric constant is higher near 80[.deg. C]. It may be due to a softness of the alkyl chains. Several other methods were employed to identify the internal structure change of the films. DSC(differential scanning calorimetry) data of the $C_{22}$-Quinolinium(TCNQ) molecules shows that there is an endothermic process near 110[.deg. C] and a weak exothermic process near 180[.deg. C]. While the endothermic process is related to a disordering of the alkyl chains, the exothermic process seems to be due to a chemical structure change of the TCNQ molecules. Thickness measurement by ellipsometry shows that there is a thickness drop near 100[.deg. C], and the thickness above 120[.deg. C] becomes around 20[%] of the room-temperature value.lue.

The corrosion behaviour of mild steel in phosphoric acid solution in the presence and absence of pollutants viz. Chloride, Fluoride and Sulfate ions at 302K-333K was studied using mass loss and potentiostatic polarization methods. The addition of chloride and sulfate ions inhibits the mild steel corrosion in phosphoric acid while fluoride ions stimulate it. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behaviour of mild steel indicated that inhibition of chloride and sulfate ions decreased with increasing temperature. The adsorption of these ions (Chloride and sulfate) on the mild steel surface in acid has been found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The values of activation energy (Ea) and free energy of adsorption ($\Delta$) indicated physical adsorption of these ions (chloride and sulfate) on the mild steel surface. The plot of $logW_{f}$ against time (days) at 302K gives a straight line, which suggested that it obeys first order kinetics and also calculate the rate constant k and half-life time $t_{1/2}$.

Electrolyte-supported symmetric Ni-YSZ cermet electrodes of ca. $23{\mu}m$ were prepared by screenprinting and the impedance was measured as a function of humidity from 2% to 90% balanced in $H_2$ at a total flow rate of 50 sccm. The Ni felt current collector of 1 mm thickness exhibited a Gerischer-like gas concentration impedance in the low frequency range, which was similarly observed in the cermet-supported solid oxide cells, while the Pt paste collector exhibited only electrochemical polarization. The electrochemical polarization of both samples was modeled by a non-ideal diffusion-reaction transmission line model including CPEs with ${\alpha}$= 0.5. In the case of the Pt paste collector, all the Bisquert parameters exhibited humidity dependence to the -1/2 power, supporting a non-faradaic chemical reaction mechanism at three phase boundaries. Consequently, the surface diffusivity and reaction rate increased linearly with humidity. Less pronounced humidity dependence and somewhat lower utilization length with an Ni felt collector can be attributed to the diffusion-limited gas flow through the collector.

Characteristics of Pb(Mg, Nb)O$_3$-Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_3$system thick films fabricated by a screen printing method were investigated. The buffer layer were coated with various thickness of Ag-Pd by screen printing to investigate the effect as a diffusion barrier and deposited Pt as a electrode by sputtering on Ag-Pb layer. The printed thick films were burned out at 650$\^{C}$ and sintered at 950$\^{C}$ in O$_2$condition for each 20, 60min after printing with 350mesh screen. The thickness of piezoelectric thick film was 15∼20㎛ and Ag-Pb layer acted as a diffusion barrier above 3㎛ thickness. The PMN-PZT thick films were screen printed on Pt/Ag-Pb(6m) and sintered by 2nd step (650$\^{C}$/20min and 950$\^{C}$/1h) using paste mixed PMN-PZT and binder in the ratio of 70:30, and the remnant polarization of thick film was 9.1$\mu$C/㎠ in this conditions.

In this paper, the characteristics of a cavitation-erosion damage behavior on the STS 304 and hot-dip aluminized STS 304 under cavitation environment in sea water solution was investigated. The electrochemical experiments were carried out by potential measurement, anodic/cathodic polarization test, Tafel analysis, and also galvanostatic experiment in current density variables for the samples. The apparatus of cavitation-electrochemical experiment was manufactured in compliance with modified ASTM G-32 standard, with the conditions of sea water temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and the measurement, amplitude of $30{\mu}m$. The damage behavior was analyzed by an observation of surface mophologies and a measurement of damage depth by a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and a 3D microscope, respectively, after electrochemical test. After polarization experiment under cavitation environment, much higher damage depths for the hot-dip aluminized STS 304 were observed comparing to the untreated STS 304. In addition, higher corrosion current density in hot-dip aluminized STS 304 presented than that of untreated STS 304 as a result of Tafel analysis.

Recently, Nanotechnology becomes a major issue in most part of industries. Nanotechnology is expected to develop various application products due to nano material mired composites is improved physical and electrical properties compared to conventional composites materials. Dielectric and insulation materials need to develop and improve like other field about nanotechnology. In this paper, we reported dielectric dispersion by size(no filler, $1.2{\mu}m$, 500 nm, 10 nm), frequencies(60, 120, 1 kHz), and temperatures($30{\sim}170^{\circ}C$). Dielectric constant of composites materials with filler shows higher than composites materials without filler and increased depending on rising temperatures in low frequency region. It was the effect that nano-filler and impurities in composites contributed to electrical conductivity. And dielectric properties depending on temperatures shows to change in low frequency region dramatically We analyzed interfacial polarization in low frequency region($10^{-2}$ Hz) and oriented polarization in high frequency region($10^{-5{\sim}6}$ Hz) on composites materials.
