The new epoxy resin, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4, 4'-methylene dianiline (MDA)/succinonitrile system, containing the reactive additive succionitrile was investigated through the impact test and the stress-strain test on the basis of the behavior of cure reaction and the cure mechanism. The new epoxy resin system, having the different succinonitrile contents, were cured at $80^{\circ}C$for 1.5 hour and then in order to cure completely at $150^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. It was shown that as the succinonitrile content increased, impact strength was gradually increased, tensile strength was decreased, almost constantly Young's modulus was sustained and elongation was increased until the succinonitrile content was increased to 10phr, and then decreased. From the experimental results, it can be concluded that the chemical bonding length between the main chains was extended by adding the reactive additive succinonitrile. It was also found that the flexibility of epoxy resin was improved by adding the succinonitrile.

Abstract In order to improve the brittleness of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4, 4'-methylene dianiline(MDA) system, the reactive additive, succinonitrile(SN) was added to DGEBA/MDA system. In this case, thermal properties, glass transition temperature(Tg), thermal decomposition temperature(Td) and 5% weight loss temperature($T_{-5%}$)were investigated according to the different SN contents and cure temperatures. Tg, Td and $T_{-5%}$ decreased as the SN content was increased, but increased as the cure temperature was increased.

The thermal properties of Iliglycldyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)-4, 4'-methylene dianiline (MDA)system with SN(Succinonitri1e) as a chain extender and HQ(Hydroquinone) as a reactive accelerator were investigated. Glass transition ternperature(Tg), heat deflection ternperature(HDT) and decomposition ternperature(Td) were measured with IiQ content in wh~ch SN : HQ content was fixed 4 : 1. Tg and HIIT were slightly decreased with increasing IIQ content. Td was stable at about $360^{\circ}C$ according to the changing HQ content and cure temperature.

The cure kinetics of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) with 4, 4'-methylene dianiline (MDA) added succinonitrile was studied through the dynamic run method by applying the data to the Kissinger equation which analyses the effect of the heating rate on the temperature at maximum reaction rate using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analyzer in the range of 3$0^{\circ}C$-35$0^{\circ}C$. In the DGEBA/MDA system with SN, the activation energy ($E_a$) and the pre-exponential factor (A) were calculated. From these results, the rate constants (k) were obtained according to the different SN contents.

A polymer electrolyte was prepared by using polyvinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) or poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) as polymer matrices, succinonitrile as an additive, and lithium perchlorate as a lithium salt. Compared to the polymer electrolyte employing PVdF-HFP, the PEGDMA-based polymer electrolyte exhibits substantially superior thermal stability when exposed to high temperatures. Nonetheless, the ionic conductivity of the PEGDMA-based polymer electrolyte was preserved in a wide temperature range between $-20^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$.

Li₂O-based cathodes utilizing oxide-peroxide conversion are innovative next-generation cathodes that have the potential to surpass the capacity of current commercial cathodes. However, these cathodes are exposed to severe cathode-electrolyte side reactions owing to the formation of highly reactive superoxides (O^x-, 1 ≤ x < 2) from O^2- ions in the Li₂O structure during charging. Succinonitrile (SN) has been used as a stabilizer at the cathode/electrolyte interface to mitigate cathode-electrolyte side reactions. SN forms a protective layer through decomposition during cycling, potentially reducing unwanted side reactions at the interface. In this study, a composite of Li₂O and Ni-embedded reduced graphene oxide (LNGO) was used as the Li₂O-based cathode. The addition of SN effectively thinned the interfacial layer formed during cycling. The presence of a N-derived layer resulting from the decomposition of SN was observed after cycling, potentially suppressing the formation of undesirable reaction products and the growth of the interfacial layer. The cell with the SN additive exhibited an enhanced electrochemical performance, including increased usable capacity and improved cyclic performance. The results confirm that incorporating the SN additive effectively stabilizes the cathode-electrolyte interface in Li₂O-based cathodes.

Liquid-liquid phase separation due to the very different density and composition occurs when the hypermonotectic alloys are solidified on the ground. Besides this, other factors such as preferential wetting and coalescence make it difficult to get uniform microstructures during the directional solidification of hypermonotectic alloys. Therefore a few novel solidification methods to get rid of such a nonuniformity have been reviewed and the recent experimental work using ultrasonic energy in conjunction with directional solidification has been presented. The uniformly solidified structures have been obtained when the ultrasonic of 20kHz applied to transparent organic system, Succinonitrile-Glycerol, varying ultrasonic amplitude and composition etc.

This study demonstrates the direct anodic electrodeposition of polypyrrole (PPy), poly(3,4-ethyl-enedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and polythiophene (PTh) on Cu electrodes by employing a corrosion inhibitor, succinonitrile (SN). SN was found to suppress anodic Cu dissolution beyond the oxidation potential of the polymer monomers. It is also revealed that the Cu surface passivated by SN is still adequately conductive to allow the redox reaction of 1,4-difluoro-2,5-dimethoxybenzene (FMB) and the oxidation of the polymer monomers. Through both cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic techniques, PPy, PEDOT, and PTh films were successfully synthesized on Cu electrodes in the presence of SN, and the redox behaviors of the films were evaluated.

Abstract Fourier transform infrared (FT -IR) instrument was used to st.udy the thermoset behavior of DGEBA/MDA system with succinonit.rile. That was experimented with the samples which were cured from 8$0^{\circ}C$ to 17$0^{\circ}C$ every 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and uncured with different SN content. respect.ively. It was known that prImary amine hydrogen reacted wit.h epoxide group, secondary amine hydrogen with epoxide group and hydroxyl with epoxide group. In addition. the reaction of primary amine hydrogen with nitrile gorup of SN and of hydroxyl group with nitrile group of SN came about. These t.wo reactions made chain bond length longer between main chains.

The shape of a dendrite tip has long been approximated by a paraboloid of revolution, but many attempts have been made as well to more accurately match the dendrite tip profile using other mathematical functions: power function, 4th order polynomial, and hyperbolic function. In the present work, dendrite tip shapes were matched by parabolic function. The differences between the dendrite tip shapes of pivalic acid(PVA)-ethanol(Eth) and succinonitrile(SCN)-salol systems, characterized by anisotropic and isotropic solid-liquid interfacial properties, respectively, were quantitatively treated using shape parameters. The PVA-Eth system showed a slightly higher Z/R value than the SCN-salol system, their Z/R values lying in the range 2-4. (Z is the distance from the tip beyond which the parabolic fit starts to deviate from the profile, and R the tip radius.) ${\lambda}_P$ is the distance from the tip beyond which side branching starts to appear, and is larger in the PVA-Eth system than the SCNsalol system. ${\lambda}_P$ is different for both sides of the 2-dimensional dendrite profile. The difference of ${\lambda}_P$ between both sides of the dendrite is larger for PVA-Eth system than for SCN-salol, implying that the dendrite of PVA-Eth is less symmetric than that of SCN-salol.
