In temperature controlled batch reactor, the effect of temperature and contact metals on the thermal stability of Exo-tricyclo[$5.2.1.0^{2,6}$]decane (tricyclodecane, exo-THDCP) were investigated by use of GC/MS. And the characteristic of metal in contact with tricyclodecane were analyzed by SEM-EDX. In fuel temperature variation test, thermal decomposition of exo-THDCP was occurred at $350^{\circ}C$. In case of fuel contact metals, Titanium was less effective to decomposition of exo-THDCP than stainless steel 304, 316.

In this study, different methods to coat honeycomb and metal foam substrate with platinum/titania for removing odor gases and volatile organic compounds were investigated. Among them, the powder coating and the nano coating were compared. Scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) analysis was used to investigate the surface conditions and exposed platinum composition ratios on honeycomb and metal foam. Also, the catalytic oxidation performance of toluene, trimethylamine and isopropyl alcohol was compared according to the coating method.

This research studied about the cause analysis of fire that was occurred in far infrared rays heater to base on the fire examples. Fire of electric heater was apt to commit error that handled an over-heating accident by judged molten mark in heat ray. Molten mark which was attached in heat ray was appeared to the form of layer short circuit by other metal material, but other metal material was not found beside the ingredient of heat wire which was mixed to an alloy of Fe-Cr-Al according to result of ingredient distribution by SEM/EDX. Also, the result of overheating experiment by layer short circuit and overvoltage showed higher febrility than normal, but there was no possibility of fire occurrence. This paper will be contributed to science for cause analysis of electric fire through analyzing physical, chemical and flame features of burnout heater on the basis of diagnosis of fire that was happened in infrared rays heater.

최근연구에 의하면 가시광선에 활성을 띄는 TiO2 개발은 중요한 연구 과제이다. 우리는 몇 가지 아민류를 이용해 수열합성법으로 TiO2에 질소를 도핑 함으로써 그 가시광선 활성을 연구하였다. 그 특성연구로서 XRD, SEM, TEM을 통해 구조와 morphology을 나타내었으며, EDX와 XPS를 통해 질소도핑 유무를 밝혔다. UV-Visible 분광기를 통해서 시료 각각의 가시광선영역에서의 흡수 유무를 확인 하였으며, 마지막으로 가시광선 영역에서 광촉매 활성을 알아보기 위해서, 광원으로 Xe-lamp를 이용, methylene blue를 분해해 그 농도를 분석하여 가시광활성을 비교 분석하였다.

We have studied a method for the preparation of $ACF/TiO_2$ composites involving the penetrationof titanium n-butoxide (TNB) solution into activated carbon fiber. It was focused on the characterization of $TiO_2$ formed in prorous carbon was which increased with surface functional groups by hydrochloric acid treatment. The conversion of TNB to $TiO_2$ for the acid treatment effect must be important for the preparationof $ACF/TiO_2$ composites. From the characterization of surface properties, both the BET surface area and the total pore volume decreased as the distribution of $TiO_2$ on the activated carbon fiber surfaces after acid treatments.The changes in XRD pattern showed the typical anatase type on $ACF/TiO_2$ composite for the sample named FT, FT1 and FT2 treated with 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 M, respectively. However, XRD patern of FT3 treated with 0.5M showed mixed amatase-rutile structure. According to the results of SEM micrographs, the titanium complexe particles were irregularly distributed around carbon. And some large clusters were found when an amount of acid treatment increased. The EDX results of $ACF/TiO_2$ composites showed the presence of C, O and P with strong Ti peaks. Finally, the excellent photocatalytic activity of the $ACF/TiO_2$ composites between relative concentration($c/c_o$) of MB (methylene blue) and UV irradiation time could be attributed to the both effects between photocatalysis of the formation of titania complexes and adsorptivity of the activated carbon fiber.

In order to investigate the electrochemical propertied of titanium electrode for electrolysis, manganese oxide was electrodeposited on surface of mesh titanium by pulse voltammetry. The morphological changes and impedance results of manganese oxide electrodeposited electrode were analyzed by SEM and EDX. The size of electrodeposited manganese oxide on mesh titanium was increased with first cycle pulse time increase, and approximately 100 non-uniform manganese oxide was grown at 10 ms pulse polarization time. Charge transfer resistance($R_{ct}$) of near the overpotential was analyzed by EIS measurement and the feasibility of prepared electrode was evaluated by the overpotential calculated from Tafel plots.

In this paper, the improved power durability test system and method for an reliability analysis of SAW device is proposed and the failure mechanism through failure analysis is analyzed. As a result of the failure analysis using microscope, SEM and EDX, the failure mechanism of the SAW device is electromigration due to joule heating under high current density and high temperature condition. The electromigration makes voids and hillocks in the IDT electrode and the voids and hillocks can lead to short circuit and open circuit faults, respectively, increasing the insertion loss of an SAW filter. The accelerated life testing of the SAW filter for 450MHz CDMA application using the proposed power durability test system and method is carried out. $B_{10}$ lifetime of the SAW filter using Eyring model and Weibull distribution is estimated as about 98,500 hours.

In this paper. we studied cut off characteristics and fire hazard of residual current protective devices(RCD or ELB) for low voltage. The operative time of RCD with grounding resistance was analyzed by using RCD operating tester. The surface structure and composition of insulator were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The surface of phenol resin showed network structure and void. The spectra shown in EDX analysis are composed not only of the corresponding elements but also of several new spectra, as CK. OK$\alpha$. MgK, SiK. and CaK, which were absent in original material.

Recently, Hanmi Gemological Institute & Laboratory (HGI) had an opportunity to examine 5 transparent synthetic moissanite. The round brilliants ranged from 0.93 to 0.96 ct and had a colorless, pink, yellow, blue, and red color. Advanced testing results, including Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, identified all the specimens as synthetic moissanite. Under the microscope, all samples except the colorless were confirmed to be a synthetic moissanite coated with a colored film. EDXRF chemical analysis detected very weak X-ray fluorescence peak characteristics of Ca, Ti, and Co in the colored samples. These features were not detected in the colorless sample. Raman spectroscopy investigation was unable to detect the 1332 cm^-1 (produced by sp³ bonding of carbon atoms) or the ~1550 cm^-1 (produced by graphite-related sp² bonding) peak in the colorless sample. The SEM image of the colorless sample showed no indication of a coating. The TEM image of the colorless sample revealed the presence of a 3~8 nm thick layer on the moissanite. Moreover, from the corresponding STEM Z-contrast image combined with the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) line profiles and EDX elemental maps, this layer was estimated to be carbon, silicon and oxygen.

In this paper, we analyzed the fire hazard of the ballast for fluorescent lamp used as the indoor lighting. In the result of being analyzed the ballast wire by stereo microscope, many melting points were discovered, it was impossible to judge a cause with the naked eye. In the Thermal-deteriorated ballast wire, elongation structure disappeared at above $700^{\circ}$, and it only showed the enlarged appearance of the copper particle. On the metallurgical microscope of short wire, as it was confirmed the regulation of the columnar structure and the void growth at the center of boundary-face, we found that electrical short-circuit generated. Also, it was confirmed the melted part on the analysis using SEM(scanning electron microscope). Not only CuL and Cuk line that is composition factor of copper but also OK line was observed uniformly on the spectra analysis using EDX(energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy). It means that oxygen took part in reaction at the recombination process.
