This paper deals with the relationships between the exotherm temperature and working life of lightweight polyester mortar. Polyester mortars using types of lightweight aggregate compositions are prepared, and tested for exotherm temperature during hardening and working life. It is concluded from the test results that the behavior of exotherm temperature of lightweight polyester mortars is considerably affected by the lightweight aggregate composition. The lightweight polyester mortars using a lightweight aggregate compositeion ES gradually develop an exotherm temperature from 2$0^{\circ}C$, and give a working life. Then the exotherm temperature rises sharply up to a maximum exotherm temperature. The working life of the lightweight polyester mortars shortens with increasing catalyst and accelerator contents. The maximum exotherm temperature of the lightweight polyester mortars rises with increasing catalyst and accelerator contents.

One exotherm was detected in the intact ginseng seeds containing more than 35% water, but in seeds with 20% there was no exotherm. The shapes of exotherm were remarkably uniform without relation to water content above 35%. The temperature at the initiation of freezing varied from -3.5$^{\circ}C$ to -9.6$^{\circ}C$ with the different water content in the seeds, and the Initial temperature of freezing delayed with the decrease of water content. The resistance damage at low temperature appeared in order of maln body, rhizome, lateral root of 3-year-old yearling rhizome, and fine root of 3-year-old. Ginseng roots didn't receive any damage at -5$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Otherwise they received serious damage below -1$0^{\circ}C$ even for 5 hours'exposure. Hence, alternative low temperature gave more severe damage compared to constant low temperature. This result suggests that the Possibility of receiving injury at low temperature was higher during the thawing season of the early spring than in the winter.

The purposes of this dissertation are to demonstrate that DSC theromoanaytical methods of vulcanization can provide useful informations on the vulcanization characteristics of industrial formulations and also provides the potential basis for a rapid and complete method of sulfur and vulcanizing accelerator analysis for quality control. The influences of those factors such as heating rate, scan temperature, vucanizing accelerator's type and concentration upon vulcanization exotherm in NR and NBR compounds in the presence of vulcanizing accelerators such as TMTD,MBTS,DPG,TMTM,CBS, and MBT were evaluated by means of DSC. In order to examine the credibility in the DSC method, the same samples which were used for DSC method were studied to compare the DSC results with the ODR (Oscillating Disk Rheometer) data. The results obtained were as follows 1. In the DSC dynamic experiments, the observed enthalpy results from vulcanization depends upon the heating rate; In the range of 2 to $20^{\circ}C/min$ of heating rate, as the heating rate was increased the enthalpy change was also increased. However, over the heating rate of $30^{\circ}C/min$ it was observed that the enthalpy change was decreased as the heating rate was further increased. Without regard to the change of enthalpy, tremendous instantaneous heat evolving was observed in the range of high heating rates. 2. For the samples which are added with various vulcanizing accelerators, the activation energies of vulcanization were as follows; 3. Regarding to the influences of vulcanizining accelerator's types upon the characteristics of vulcanization exotherm, NR and NBR compounds in the presence of thiuramsulphide compounds type accelerators such as TMTD, TMTM, were exhibited sharper and higher vulclanization exotherm than others. From the resuts of DSC thermograms which was distributed in even shape in the broad temperature range, it was clearly shown that the guanidine compounds type accelerator such as DPG acts as a delayed acting accelerator. 4. In the comparison of DSC and ODR results, the dependency of temperature in the cure rate and the observed conversions show good agreements between two results. 5. In the same curatives, by the comparison of glass transition temperatures, it was possible to predict relative values of maximum torques. Consequently, from the present studies, it is shown that the DSC thermoanalytical method can provide an alternate new method for rapid and complete quality control analysis of rubber industry.

Poly(enaryloxynitriles) containing Schiff bases were prepared from p-bis(1-chloro-2,2-dicyanovinyl)benzene (2) and various aromatic diols having Schiff base moiety by interfacial polymerization. The chemical structure of the polymers was confirmed through synthesis of their corresponding model compounds. All the polymers were soluble in polar aprotic solvents and their brittle films were cast from DMF solution. They showed a large exotherm around 340 ℃ attributable to the chemical change of dicyanovinyl group. Especially, curing of azomethine group was observed to occur at 390 ℃ by differential scanning calorimetry. According to the thermogravimetric analyses, they exhibited excellent thermal stability with 60-90% residual weight at 500 ℃ in nitrogen.

As a result of low temperature exotherm (LTE) measurement targeting the buds of 13 grape cultivars that are recently cultivated or introduced in Korea, 'Shooting Star', 'Muscat Bailey A', 'IFG-6', 'Vanessa Seedless', 'Summer Crispy', 'Shine Muscat', 'Jelly Pop', 'Campbell Early', 'Ruby Seedless', 'My Heart', 'Kyoho', 'Thompson Seedless', and 'Violet King' in order of being resistant to low temperatures. The LTE value was the lowest at -18.9℃ in 'Shooting Star' and the highest at -12.5℃ in 'Violet King'. Through these results, it can be used as basic data to determine whether or not cultivation by region is possible efficiently by comparing data based on 'Campbell Early' and 'Kyoho', which are presented as standard varieties for domestic cultivation.

Twigs bearing floral buds of Rhododendron yedoense var. poukhanense(Ryp) and R. sinmsii(Rs), hardy species in Korea, were used to investigate the cold hardiness in relation to the developmental and anatomical characteristics, and the changes of water content. In floral buds of both species, the reproductive organs, pistils and stamens, matured within the bud scales in early ctober to prepare for a cold acclimation. The ray parenchymatous areas occupied in xylem were 41% in Ryp and 38% Rs. As the storage temperature is raised from 2 to 17$^{\circ}C$, water content increased more highly in Rs than in Ryp. Exotherm temperature of floral bud in Ryp was generally lower than that in Rs. The result supports that the higher cold-hardiness is achieved owing to the earlier maturation of floral buds, to the larger area of ray parenchyma in xylem, and to the lesser increase of water content as the storage temperature is raised.

Polyenaminonitriles containing cycloaliphatic and aliphatic units were prepared by interfacial or solution polymerization reaction of p-bis(1-chloro-2,2-dicyanovinyl) benzene (1) with 4-aminobenzyl-amine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine, 2-(aminomethyl)pyrrolidine and 4-(aminomethyl)piperidine. The chemical structure of the polymers was confirmed through a syntheses of the model compound. The resulting polymers possessed inherent viscosities of 0.29∼0.62 dL/g and they were easily soluble in polar aprotic solvents and common organic solvents. Thermal properties of the polymers such as curability and stability were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and infrared spectroscopy. The polymers exhibited a large exotherm in DSC analyses and underwent a curing reaction around 340-370$\^{C}$ to form insoluble materials. The polymers showed 70-80% residual weight at 600 $\^{C}$ under nitrogen.

Various kinetic parameters of the nucleation and crystallization in anorthite glass (CaO.Al2O3.2SiO2) were calculated by nonisothermal differential thermal analysis. Base glass and glass with TiO2 were prepared by melting. In base glass, the temperature where nucleation can occur ranges from 85$0^{\circ}C$ to 9$25^{\circ}C$ and the temperature for maximum nucleation was 900$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$. In glass with TiO2, the nucleation temperature range was 800~875$^{\circ}C$ and the maximum nucleation temperature was 850$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$. Kissinger equation, Bansal equation, and modified Ozawa equation were used for calculating activation energy for crystallization, Ec. The results showed the same activation energies for both glasses with and without TiO2 in the different equations. The shape of maximum exotherm peak and Ozawa equation were used for Avrami exponent, n. The n value for each glass was 2, indicating that each glass crystallized primarily by bulk crystallization.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the setting properties of polystyrene mortars using waste expanded polystyrene(EPS) solution-based binders. The binders for polystyrene mortars are made by mixing crosslinking agent with waste EPS solutions which prepared by dissolving EPS in styrene. Polystyrene mortars are prepared with various EPS concentrations of EPS solutions and crosslinking agent contents, subjected to a dry curing, and tested for working life, peak exotherm temperature and 10h-length change. From the test results, the working lives of polystyrene mortars are shortened with raising EPS concentration of EPS solution and crosslinking agent content. Low-shrinkage or non-shrinkage of polystyrene mortars should be accomplished by adjusting EPS concentration of EPS solution and crosslinking agent content.

The gas mixtures ($H_2$/$N_2$, He/$N_2$) having a high thermal conductivity allow the heat generated by the nitriding exotherm to be dissipated from the compact in to the nitriding atmosphere permitting a more accurate control of temperature and produces a more uniform microstructure. In order to observe the effect of the mixed gas atmosphere on the microsturcture of RBSN. the specimen was nitrided in the mixed gas atmosphere which was containe up to 50vol% $H_2$ or He for 0-12 hrs at 135$0^{\circ}C$. The addition of hydrogen to nitrogen gas resulted in the growth of a-needle at the early stage of nitrding increase of the reaction rate and a finer and more uniform microstructure. in case of the addition of helium the behaviour of reaction was similar to the one with pure nitrogen. As the amount of helium was increased a coarse microstructure was formed.
