Single crystal growth of $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ by the solid state crystal growth method was attempted. Seed crystals of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ were pressed into pellets of $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ + 2 wt% $BaCO_3$ and heat-treated at temperatures between $1150^{\circ}C$ and $1250^{\circ}C$ for up to 100 hours. Instead of single crystal growth taking place on the seed crystal, BaO diffused into the seed crystal and reacted with it to form a polycrystalline reaction layer of $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$. The microstructure, chemical composition and structure of the reaction layer were studied using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), x-ray Diffraction (XRD) and micro-Raman scattering and confirmed to be that of $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$. XRD showed that the reaction layer shows a strong degree of orientation in the (h00)/(hk0) planes in the sample sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$. $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ layers with a degree of orientation in the (hk0) planes could also be grown by heat-treating an ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ seed crystal buried in $BaCO_3$ powder.

Carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) which is water soluble at room temperature was manufactured from the cellulose material in this study. Experimental parameters were reaction temperature, time and concentration of NaOH and monochloroacetic acid. CMC was tested for solubility, degree of substitution(D.S.) and tensile strength. The surface structure of CMC fiber was tested using scanning electron microscope(SEM). CMC manufactured from viscose rayon was affected by the chemical concentration rather then the reaction time and temperature. Also, degree of substitution is closely related to the solubility of the CMC.

Chitosans were prepared from red crab chitin under various alkali treatment conditions(different alkali concentrations, reaction times and temperatures) and theirphysicochemical properties were investigated. The nitrogen content and deacetylation degree of red crab chitin were 6.15% and 22.17A%, respectively. By the IR spectra, red crab and reference chitin showed the sharp bands at 1650 $cm^{-1}$ / and 1550 $cm^{-1}$ /, which are characteristic of chitin. The nitrogen contents of prepared chitosans ranged from 6.19~7.48%. Thedeacetylation degree was increased from 63~76% and 48~78% with increasing reaction time and temperature, whereas viscosity was decreased. The nitrogen content and yield of red crab chitosan perpared from chitin with 50% NaOH, 1:25(w/v) for 3.0 hr at 120$cm^{-1}$ / were 7.26% and 85.0%, respectively. and viscosity, deacetylation degree and molecular weight, 67.0 mPa.s, 75.0% and 6.5$\times$10$^{5}$ Dalton, respectively. From the IR spectra, the amide absorption bands of red crab and reference chitosan became very weak, similarly. And at solid state $^{13}$ C-NMR spectra, C=O(carbonyl carbon) signals absent, whereas $CH_3$(methyl carbon) was residues. Chemical shift of $^{13}$ C-NMR spectra of red crab and reference chitosans were in good agreement with slight experimental deviation.

The catalytic activity of ZSM-5 catalyst for the disproportionation of toluene is dependent on the type of cation exchanged, the degree of ion-exchange and the reaction temperature. The activity increases in the order of alkaline-, alkali earth-, hydrogen, and rare-earth-exchanged ZSM-5 and decreases with increasing degree of cation exchange. Among the ion-exchanged ZSM-5 catalyst, only Cs-ZSM-5 shows predominant selectivity for p-xylene. The selectivity increases with increasing degree of $Cs^+$-exchange and decreasing reaction temperature. This phenomenon is interpreted in terms of shape selectivity arising from the partial blocking of channel intersections by large cesium ions.

PURPOSES: The existing method evaluating the existence of the hollows in concrete pavement does not consider the stiffness of pavement. In addition, the method uses unreasonable logic judging the hollow existence by the deflection caused by zero loading. In this study, the deflection of slab corner due to heavy weight deflectometer (HWD) was measured in concrete pavement sections where underground structures are located causing the hollows around them. METHODS: The modulus of subgrade reaction obtained by comparing the actual deflection of slab to the result of finite element analysis was calibrated into the composite modulus of subgrade reaction. The radius of relative stiffness was calculated, and the relationship between the ratio of HWD load to the radius of relative stiffness and the slab deflection was expressed as the curve of secondary degree. RESULTS: The trends of the model coefficients showing width and maximum value of the curve of secondary degree were analyzed by categorizing the pavement sections into three groups : hollows exist, additional investigation is necessary, and hollows do not exist. CONCLUSIONS: The results analyzed by the method developed in this study was compared to the results analyzed by existing method. The model developed in this study will be verified by analyzing the data obtained in other sections with different pavement structure and materials.

In this study, a crosslinked poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) [SBS] block copolymers were prepared by using gamma ray irradiation method. The effects of various radiation doses on the degree of crosslinking, thermo property, and morphology of crosslinked SBS block copolymer were investigated. The degree of crosslinking of crosslinked SBS block copolymers were measured by gel-fraction and FT-IR. It was found that the degree of crosslinking of crosslinked SBS block copolymers increases with increase of the irradiation dose while the TGA result shows that the initial degradation temperature of irradiated SBS block copolymer was shifted to lower temperature with increasing irradiation dose. These results indicate that degradation reaction also occurs when SBS block copolymer is exposed to gamma ray irradiation for crosslinking reaction. The SAXS and FE-SEM results indicate that the phase separation of the styrene block and butadiene block was reduced with increasing irradiation dose.

The production of maltose utilizing swollen extrusion starch seems to have many technical advantages, such as, high reaction rate and high yield, production of high purity concentrated maltose, and low energy consumption, over the conventional method utilizing liquefied starch. The characteristics of maltose formation in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system comtaining swollen extrusion starch was investigated using fungal $\alpha $-amylase. The influence of extrusion conditions on structure of extruded starch, such as, degree of gelatinization, water absorption index, and water solubility index was analyzed. The relationship between the structural features and maltose forming reaction was investigated, and the result was analyzed in terms of surface reaction of insoluble extruded swollen starch. The characteristics of maltose formation from swollen sxtrusion starch was compared using endo-type fungal $\alpha $-amylase and exo-type $\beta $anylase, and the structural trasformation of extruded starch was also observed to clarify the reaction mechanism.

Dipyridine-terminated polystyrenes and polybutadienes were synthesized by the chain endfunctionalization reaction of polystyryllithium (PSLi) and polybutadienyllithium (PBDLi) with di(2-pyridyl) ketone(DPK) using a living anionic polymerization method in the Ar-glove box. Living polymeric lithiums with low molecular weights (Mw=1000~2000 g/mol) were used to investigate the chain end-functionalization yield with DPK and the degree of coupling reaction by the attack of organolithium to the pyridine ring in the presence of TMEDA using GPC, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$ analysis. DPK-terminated PBD exhibited much higher functionalization yield and less amount of coupling reaction compared with DPK-terminated PS. 86% functionalization yield with 9% degree of coupling was obtained when the PBDLi was added dropwise to DPK solution at room temperature. The functionalization yield was increased as the reaction temperature decreased, however, no LiCl effect was observed in this chain end-functionalization reaction with DPK.

The objective of this study is to investigate optimum reaction conditions for the grafting of poly($N$-vinyl- 2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) onto the surface of plasma-treated polypropylene film. The plasma treatment conditions were fixed as 200 W rf power, 6 LPM Ar flow rate, 30 sec treatment time, and 5 min exposure time after treatment. For graft copolymerization, we investigated the change of grafting degree with respect to reaction time, reaction temperature and $N$-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone concentration. Maximum grafting degree was obtained at the conditions of 6 h reaction time, $90^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, and 40% $N$-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone concentration. The introduction of PVP was confirmed by ATR-FTIR, XPS, and SEM analysis.
