This study investigated the thermal behavior of the nuclear graphite waste generated from the decommissioning of the Korean nuclear research reactor, The first part study investigated the decomposition rate of the nuclear graphite waste up to $1000^{\circ}C$ under various oxygen partial pressures using a thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA). Tested graphite waste sample not easily destroyed in the oxygen-deficient condition. However, the gas-solid oxidation reaction was found to be very effective in the presence of oxygen. No significant amount of the product of incomplete combustion was formed even in the limited oxygen concentration of 4% $O_2$. The influence of temperature and oxygen partial pressure was evaluated by the theoretical model analysis of the thermo-gravimetric data. The activation energy and the reaction order of graphite oxidation were evaluated as 128 kJ/mole and 1.1, respectively. The second part of this study investigated the behavior of radioactive elements under graphite oxidation atmosphere using thermodynamic equilibrium model. $^{22}Na$, $^{134}Cs$ and $^{137}Cs$ were found be the semi-volatile elements. Since volatile uranium species can be formulated at high temperatures above $1050^{\circ}C$, the temperature of incinerator furnace should be minimized. Other corrosion/activation products, fission products and uranium were found to be the non-volatile species.

알칼리 수전해용 격막으로 사용가능성을 평가하기 위해 5종류의 상용 음이온교환막의 열적안정성, 이온전도도, 내구성을 평가하였다. TGA (thermo-gravimetric analysis)로 분석한 열적안정성은 FAAM-PK-75와 FAAM-40 막이 다른 3종류의 AEM, AHO, AHA 막과 비교하여 좋은 성능을 보였다. 25℃와 80℃, 7 M KOH 수용액에서의 이온전도도는 AEM막이 다른 막과 비교하여 약 4~17배 높은 값을 보였다. 25℃, 7 M KOH 수용액에서 측정한 내구성은 FAAM-PK-75막이 다른 막과 비교하여 안정하였다.

Hot stage microscopy (HSM) is a thermal analysis technique that combines the best properties of thermal analysis and microscopy. HSM is rapidly gaining interest in pharmaceuticals as well as in other fields as a regular characterization technique. In pharmaceuticals HSM is used to support differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) observations and to detect small changes in the sample that may be missed by DSC and TGA during a thermal experiment. Study of various physical and chemical properties such sample morphology, crystalline nature, polymorphism, desolvation, miscibility, melting, solid state transitions and incompatibility between various pharmaceutical compounds can be carried out using HSM. HSM is also widely used to screen cocrystals, excipients and polymers for solid dispersions. With the advancements in research methodologies, it is now possible to use HSM in conjunction with other characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DSC, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which may have additional benefits over traditional characterization techniques for rapid and comprehensive solid state characterization.

To evaluate the radiation degradation of ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), radiation effects on EPR were investigated by using dielectric analysis and thermal-gravimetric analysis. Permittivity, loss factor, tan$\delta$, and thermal decomposition temperature were observed for ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated EPR. As the radiation dose was increased, the peak temperature of the loss factor and tans of EPR were increased and loss factor and tan$\delta$ at peak temperature were decreased. Activation energies were calculated using loss factor and thermal decomposition for ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated EPR as well. The trends of both calculated activation energies showed the same tendencies as radiation dose was increased.

Well defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers of poly(styrene-b-vinylbenzylphosphonic acid) (PS-b-PVBPA) were prepared by controlled radical polymerization technique, two-step hydrolysis reactions using trime-thylsilyl bromide from the corresponding phosphonic ethyl ester. By indirect, backward pH titration of the block copolymer, a good titration curve of a dibasic acid was observed. The IEC values obtained from both backward pH titration and volumetric back titration were almost identical. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) of the phosphonic acid containing block copolymer showed a high thermal stability up to $400^{\circ}C$.

The new candidates for OTFTs, which were composed of naphthalene, anthracene, benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene and 2-decylbithiophene end-capper were synthesized under Suzuki coupling reaction conditions. All of the oligomers were characterized by FT-IR, mass analysis, UV-vis, PL spectrum, cyclic voltametry (CV), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), $^1H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$. Investigation of physical properties showed that all of the oligomers have higher oxidation potential and good thermal stability. Especially, DBT-DtB-DBT is soluble in common solvents and suitable for low cost processing technologies.

석탄화력발전소 폐기물인 석탄회와 요오드화 세슘의 반응특성을 DTA(Differential Thermal Analysis), TGA(Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis) 장치를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본연구에 사용된 석탄회는 85%의 실리카와 알루미나를 함유하고 있으며 Si/Al 몰비는 2.1 이었다. DTA와 TGA의 열분석 결과 CsI의 분해, 석탄회와 기체상 세슘의 반응 등으로 이루어져 있다. 석탄회와 CsI의 혼합물은 94$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 Pollucite 가 형성되었다. 반응생성물들의 SEM 분석결과 표면이 거칠며 bulky한 crystal 형태로서 구형의 석탄회와는 매우 다른 형상을 보였다. 석탄회는 요오드화세슘의 고정화를 위해서 적합한 알루미노규산염 원료물질들 중의 하나임을 확인하였다.

Electrical insulation is one of the most important parts in a high voltage apparatus. Traditionally mineral oils and synthetic esters have been widely used as dielectric coolants for power transformers. Recently, researchers are interested in the environmental friendly vegetable oil from environmental viewpoint. This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of soybean based ester oils. Two different types of soybean based transformer oils, named as methyl ester and isopropyl ester were synthesized. The synthesis of these esters was achieved by transesterification reactions of soybean oil and alcohol in the presence of catalyst. The GC and NMR spectroscopic analysis of the esters have been performed. The thermal stability of the esters was determined by thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA).

In this paper, we have investigated thermal properties of semiconductive shield materials for power cables. EEA (Ethylene Ethyl Acrylate) was used for base polymer and TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) were investigated with various carbon black and CNT (carbon nanotube) contents. When CNT reinforced composites and conventional composite were investigated with TGA, we knew that thermal properties of CNT reinforced composite were better than them of conventional composite. To investigate roughness, we used AFM. Before and after aging, AFM was applied and after aging, roughness was increased. As a result, suitable CNT and CB(carbon black) content is CNT:CB=50:50.
