Rice husk flours were analyzed by chemical composition and thermogravimetric methods in nitrogen atmosphere to discuss its feasibility as a raw material for manufacturing agricultural lignocellulosic fiber-thermoplastic polymer composite. It was revealed in the chemical composition analysis that rice husk flour was composed of moisture, 5.0%; lignin, 21.6%; holocellulose, 60.8%; ash, 12.6%. In the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal decomposition behavior of rice husk flour from room temperature to $350^{\circ}C$ was similar to that of wood flour, but rice husk flour was more thermally stable from 350 to $800^{\circ}C$ than wood flour because of higher silica content in the rice husk flour and smaller particle size of rice husk flour. The activation energy of thermal decomposition was evaluated using Flynn & Wall expression. As the thermal decomposition proceeded in rice husk flour, the activation energy of thermal decomposition appeared almost constant up to ${\alpha}=0.25$, but thereafter increased. Activation energy of thermal decomposition in wood flour, however, decreased steeply up to ${\alpha}=0.3$, but thereafter remained almost constant. From the results, rice husk flour was thought be a substitute for wood flour in manufacturing agricultural lignocellulosic fiber-thermoplastic polymer composite in the aspect of thermal decomposition.

기존 아민계 경화제를 사용해 액정 에폭시를 경화할 경우, 랜덤 한 3차원 네트워크 구조의 생성으로 인해 phonon의 산란이 많이 발생하기 때문에 열전도도가 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 문제를 mesogen그룹을 적층된 구조로 형성하는 양이온 개시제를 이용하여 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 아민계 경화제와 양이온 개시제를 사용한 에폭시의 TGA분석(Thermogravimetric Analysis)을 통해 등온 열분해 활성화에너지를 조사하여 열적안정성을 비교하였다. 양이온 개시제를 이용한 에폭시의 경우 활성화가 에너지가 높았으며 기존 실험과 비교했을 때, 열적안정성은 열전도도와 비슷한 양상을 보인다.

The activation energy of a material is an important factor that significantly affects the lifetime and can be used to develop a degradation model. In this study, a thermal analysis was carried out to evaluate and collect quantitative data on the degradation of insulation materials like EPR and CSP used for nuclear power plant cables. The activation energy was determined from the relationship between log ${\beta}$ and 1/T based on the Flynn.Wall.Ozawa method, by a TGA test. The activation energy was also derived from the relationship between ln(t) and 1/T based on isothermal analysis, by an OIT test. The activation energy of EPR derived from thermal analysis was used to calculate the accelerated aging time corresponding to the number of years of use, employing the Arrhenius equation, and determine the elongation corresponding to the accelerated aging time.

Hydrolysis rate and activation energy of Antheraea pernyi silk fiber treated with HCI were examined. Thermal decomposition temperature and surface morphology were also investigated by using differential scanning calorimeter and scanning electron microscope. As the concentration of hydrochloric acid and the treatment temperature increased, the hydrolysis occurred more rapidly. The activation energy of Antheraea pernyi, 74.0 kJ/mol, was higher than that of Bombyx mori, 58.1 kJ/mol. As the concentration of hydrochloric acid increases, the activation energy of Antheraea pernyi decreased from 74.0 kJ/mol to 62.0 kJ/mol. The shape of acid-resistance fraction of Antheraea pernyi became more distroyed and was transformed from fiber to powdered form with an increase of hydrolysis rate. The thermal decomposition temperature of Antheraea pernyi was 360.8$^{\circ}C$ until the hydrolysis rate was 81.8 wt%, but ti decreased to 347.0$^{\circ}C$ when the hydrolysis rate was 93.8 wt%.

Latex polymers are widely used for adhesive, binder, paint etc. Especially the PVAc(Polyvinyl acetate) latex which manufactured by vinyl acetate and vinyl alcohol as protective colloid is a useful environmentally friendly adhesive. To increase useful property of PVAc latex, this study was carried out for checking thermal characteristics and physical condition of PVAc latex by DSC, FT-IR, Pyrolyzer GC-MS. The activation energies of thermal decomposition for 40, 48, 56, 64% solid content of PVAc latex were found as 28.1-36.0kcal/mol by Kissinger's method and 17.2-22.0kcal/mol by DSC method. Actually, reasonable solid content could be consiered as 56% because of activation energy and adhesive characteristics. According to the effect of protective colloid for 4, 10, 15, 20wt%, the activation energy shows same tendency to both method and in case of l5wt% has been found as the highest activation energy. The mechanism of thermal decomposition was mainly estimated by main chain scission, not by side group on FT-IR analysis. Main component of Pyrolzer GC-MS result were consisted of $CH_3COOH$, $CH_3$, $H_2O$ and light gases(CO, $CO_2$, $CH_4$ etc).

This paper describes the preparation of manufacturing a new nanocomposite material, which involves adding a multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) to improve thermal characteristics of poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA). We irradiated the prepared nanocomposites with doses of 50 kGy, 100 kGy and 200 kGy at a dose rate of $5kGy\;hr^{-1}$ and examined their thermal stability, activation energy and crosslink level by using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and gel fraction experiments. TGA results indicated that the samples with a MWCNT had higher Derivative Thermo Gravimetry (DTG) 2nd peak temperatures than those without a MWCNT. And activation energy of the samples reduced as the absorption dose and the MWCNT content increased. Finally, the gel fraction increased rapidly up to 100 kGy as total absorption dose increased, and then the growth rate of all samples was slowly increased from 100 kGy.

600V용 비닐절연전선의 절연체로 사용되는 PVC의 열적 열화 특성을 열중량분석과 가속열화시험을 이용하여 연구하였다. TGA를 이용한 활성화에너지는 Kissinger method와 Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method를 이용하여 측정하였다. 활성화에너지를 계산한 결과 600V용 PVC 절연전선은 89.29 kJ/mol～111.39 kJ/mol, 내열 PVC절연전선은 97.80 kJ/mol～119.25 kJ/mol로 나타났다. 또한, 저온인 80, 90, 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 장기가속열화를 통한 활성화에너지를 아레니우스 방정식을 이용하여 계산하였다. 그 결과 PVC 절연전선은 92.16 kJ/mol,내열 PVC절연전선은 97.52kJ/mol로 나타났다. 연구결과에 있어 600V내열 PVC절연 전선이 PVC 절연전선에 비해 활성화에너지가 큼을 알 수 있었으며, 사용 수명을 예측함에 있어서도 장기적으로 안정함을 예측할 수 있다.

This study investigated the thermogravimetric analysis of two types of cured tannin-based adhesives from wattle and pine, with three hardeners of paraformaldehyde, hexamethylenetetramine and TN (tris(hydroxyl)nitromethan), at a temperature of 170℃ and a heating rate of 5, 10, 20 and 40℃/min for 10 minutes. The 5 minutes cured wattle tannin-based adhesive with each hardener at 170℃ was also tested to compare the degree of curing. It was found that thermogravimetric analysis could be used to measure the degree of curing of a thermosetting adhesive. The TG-DTG curves of all the adhesive systems were similar and showed three steps in a similar way to a phenolic resin. This means that each adhesive system is well cross-linked. However, a high thermal decomposition rate was shown at 150 to 400℃ in the case of the pine tannin sample with TN (tris(hydroxyl)nitromethan). The Flynn & Wall expression was used to evaluate the activation energy for thermal decomposition. As the level of conversion (𝛼) increased, the activation energy of each system increased. The activation energy of the wattle tannin-based adhesive with paraformaldehyde was higher than the others.

The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has designed a Hybrid-Low Power Research Reactor (H-LPRR) which can be used for critical assembly and conventional research reactor as well. It is an open tank-in-pool type research reactor (Thermal Power: 50 kW_th) of which the most important applications are Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), Radioisotope (RI) production, education and training. There are eight irradiation holes on the edge of the reactor core: IR (6 holes for RI production) and NA (2 holes for NAA) holes. In order to quantify the elemental concentration in target samples through the Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA), it is necessary to measure neutron spectrum parameters such as thermal neutron flux, the deviation from the ideal 1/E epithermal neutron flux distribution (α), and the thermal-to-epithermal neutron flux ratio (f) for the irradiation holes. In this study, the MCNP6.1 code and FORTRAN 90 language are applied to determine the parameters for the two irradiation holes (NA-SW and NA-NW) in H-LPRR, and in particular its α and f parameters are compared to values of other research reactors. The results confirmed that the neutron irradiation holes in H-LPRR are designed to be sufficiently applied to neutron activation analysis, and its performance is comparable to that of foreign research reactors including the TRIGA MARK II.

1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacylohexane (RDX)와 octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX)의 입자크기에 대한 열적 특성을 알아보기 위해서 DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry)와 TGA (Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis)를 사용하였다. 활성화 에너지와 빈도인자는 Kissinger 방법과 Vyazovkin 방법으로 계산하였다. DSC를 이용할 경우 RDX의 경우에는 고에너지 분자화약의 높은 분해열에 의하여 입자크기에 따른 활성화에너지의 경향성이 없었으나, TGA를 이용할 경우 입자크기가 클수록 활성화에너지가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 HMX의 경우에는 DSC와 TGA의 방법 모두 입자 크기에 따라 활성화 에너지가 커지는 경향성을 보였다. 또한, Vyazovkin 방법을 이용하여 RDX와 HMX의 분해정도에 따른 활성화 에너지의 변화로 분해반응의 메커니즘을 이해할 수 있었다.
