The effects of zeolite on the thermal stability of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were investigated by the static thermal stability test, pyrolysis experiment and ultraviolet spectrum. The results showed that the porous zeolite could absorb hydrogen chloride (HCl), which suppressed the catalysis of HCl on thermal degradation of PVC, thus improved the thermal stability of PVC. The oxidizing acid which was loaded on zeolite had oxidated on the double bond that formed during the dehydrochlorination of PVC. This process could prohibit the growth of the conjugated polyene and improved the color of PVC. Hence, zeolite might be possible to come up with a high performance thermal stabilizer.

Lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT, 6/65/35) powders, crack-free and dense thin films have been prepared by polymeric sol-gel process. Pyrolysis of the gel, crystallization and optical transmittance behavior of the PLZT thin film onto sapphire substrate have been studied. Esterification occurs during synthesis of PLZT complexation. Crystalline Pb phase was transiently formed near 450$^{\circ}C$. Content of perovskite phase in the films were increased with increasing thickness of film, but the kinetics of formation of perovskite phase in films was slower than that of powders. Transmittance of the films was decreased with increasing the temperature of heat treatment. Ferroelectric hysteresis loop measurements indicated increments of remanent polarization and coercive field for plenty more of perovskite phase.

The process of thermal-degradation of thin-film polymeris studied in this work for various laser sources from CW to fs. Samples composed of a thin polymer layer sandwiched between two glass plates are irradiated by the lasers and the threshold irradiance of polymer carbonization is experimentally measured. In the numerical analysis, the transient temperature distribution is calculated and the number density of carbonization in the polymer layer is also estimated. It is shown that pulsed lasers can result in more uniform distribution of temperature and carbonization than the CW laser.

The combustion kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was studied by the dynamic model which accounts for the thermal decomposition of polymer at any time. The kinetic analysis was performed by a conventional nonisothermal thermogravimetric (TG) technique at several heating rates between 10 and 40 K/min in air atmosphere. The thermal decomposition of PET in air atmosphere was found to be a complex process composed of at least two stages for which kinetic values can be calculated. The combustion kinetic analysis of PET gave apparent activation energy for the first stage of $257.3{\sim}269.9\;kJ/mol$, with a value of $140.5{\sim}213.8\;kJ/mol$ for the second stage. To verify the effectiveness of the kinetic analysis method used in this work, the kinetic analysis results were compared with those of various analytical methods. The kinetic parameters were also compared with values of the pyrolysis of PET in nitrogen atmosphere.

This paper describes the structural safety of solid fuel in the Hybrid Rocket Motor (HRM). Hybrid rocket combustion has the distinct regression characteristics which include the process of thermal pyrolysis and fuel vaporization. Most of all, this regression characteristics would structurally affect the strength of the fuel having a multi-port configuration, and even may cause the breaking from the fuel grain. This problem would probably influence the performance and operating safety of HRM. Therefore, for the safe operation of HRM, the critical port radius which determines the structurally safe region was discussed from the heat analysis of the solid fuel.

A high Tc superconducting with a nominal composition of $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_y$ was prepared by the citarte method. The solid precursor produced by the dehydration of the gel at $120^{\circ}C$ for 12h is not in the amorphous state as expected but in a crystalline state X-ray diffraction peaks of nearly the same angular position as the peaks of high Tc phase were observed in the precursor. After pyrolysis at $400^{\circ}C$ and calcination at $840^{\circ}C$ for 4h, the (001)peak of the high Tc phase was cleary observed. Experimental results suggest that the intermediate phase formed before the formation of the superconducting phase may be the most important factor in determining whether it is easy to form the high Tc phase or not, because the nucleation bafflers of the two superconducting phase may be altered by the variation of the crystal structures of those Intermediate phase.

In order to assess the potential of the hydroxy-containing polyamic acid (PHAA) synthesized from 3,3'-dihydroxy benzidine and pyromellitic dianhydride for a fire-safe polymer, the cyclization pathway of PHAA has been investigated using a model compound prepared from 2-aminophenol and phthalic anhydride. The reaction was monitored. by $^1{H-nuclear}$ magnetic resonance. N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) phthalamic acid is converted to N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) phthalimide at ca. 175$^{\circ}C$, showing endothermic reaction. The imide structure is rearranged to the benzoxazole structure over ca. $400^{\circ}C$. These results are similar with that of PHAA. According to pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) data, water and carbon dioxide are released during the cyclization and rearrangement reaction. One DMAc molecule is complexed with one carboxyl acid group in PHAA, which accelerates the imidization process to release more easily the flame retardant, water.

Two-dimensional carbon/carbon preforms made of PAN-based carbon yarn and phenolic resin were densified with pyrolysis of propane by pulse chemical vapor infiltration where repeated the cycle of gas introduction residence and evacuation. Maximim density increment was 14% when infiltration temperature and time were 100$0^{\circ}C$ and 21.25 hrs respectively. The distribution of deposits of pyrocarbon by this process has been occurred uniformly in the bottom middle and top of carbon/carbon composite preform Pulse CVI with residence is most effective in increasing density and shortening infiltration time among isothermal CVI and pulse CVI with and without residence.

In order to realize the commercial application of HTSC materials, it is necessary to develop the fabrication process of high Tc oxide superconductor materials with desired shape and for practical application and high critical current density as well as good mechanical strength which can withstand high lorenz force generated at high magnetic field. Much studies have been concentrated to develop the fabrication technique for high critical current density but still there are a lot of gap which should be overcome for large scale application of HTSC materials at liquid nitrogen temperature. Recently some new fabrication techniques have been developed for YBaCuO bulk superconductor with high mechanical strength and critical current density. In this project, the establishment of fabrication condition and additive effects of second elements were examined so as to improve the related properties to the practical use of YBaCuO superconductor, and we reported the production of the YBaCuO high Tc superconductor by the pyrolysis method.

The discharge gap clearly is to order and to promote the improvement of processing feature of die-sinking electro discharge machining(EDM). If creation carbon, which generated by Pyrolysis of EDM oil and processing pace power which is generated in between an electrode and a workpiece, are overproduced, they will lower the processing speed and roughness of the surface. Therefore, it is gone through an experiment and the flow analysis of EDM oil in order to improve the treatment of processing chips, which is an important problem by contriving a new flushing method. The condition of an electric discharge is not considered to be a progressing of processing. It is assumed that the flow of processing fluid is equal to the flow of processing chip, which is remaining in the discharge gap, and thus, analyzing then comparing with the data of the experiment and investigate its correlation.
