In order to apply the Sievert's type automatic apparatus to thermal analysis of hydrogen absorbing materials, the dehydrogenation of the Mg-H system was investigated. As the initial wt% of hydrogen was increased to 4.4, the peak temperature of evolution rate shifted to higher temperature. However, with the initial wt% of hydrogen higher than 4.4, peak temperature of evolution rate did not change. The peak temperatures of evolution rate obtained by automatic apparatus were almost the same as those measured by a manual apparatus. As the heating rate was increased, the peak temperatures increased; the peak temperatures for heating rates 1, 2 and 3 K/min were 664, 687 and 702 K, respectively. The activation energy for the decomposition of Mg hydride was 101 kJ/mol. The Sievert's type automatic apparatus can be successively applied to the thermal analysis of metal hydride.

Henequen fiber was air-stabilized, carbonized, and steam-activated to obtain high surface area activated henequen fiber (AHF). Thermal behavior of henequen fibers has been studied by TGA. The structural morphology and characteristics were observed by SEM and BET surface area measurement. The yield of AHF from natural henequen was in the range of 20~25 wt%. Mesopores (2~2.5 nm) were developed on the AHF as the activation temperature was raised up to $700^{\circ}C$, and the band of mesopore size distribution moved to 15~30 nm when the activation were carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The specific surface area and the total pore volume were about $1394\;m^2/g$ and $1.30\;cm^3/g$, respectively at this activation conditions.

The temperature dependence of the viscosity was determined for an electrorheological(ER) fluid consisting of 35 weight% zeolite particles in hydraulic oil 46cSt. Thermal activation analysis were performed by changing the ER fluid's temperature from -1$0^{\circ}C$ to 5$0^{\circ}C$ at fixed electric field. According to the analysis, the activation energy for flow was about 79.64kJ/mole at E=0kV/mm. Generally, the hydraulic oil 46cSt will be operated at the temperature of about 4$0^{\circ}C$, the ER fluid's electric field dependence of viscosities were investigated at this temperature. also, the influence of adding the dispersant(Carbopl 940) on electrorheological effect of the ER fluid was discussed.

본 연구는 Poly-Si에 이온 주입된 Boron의 Activation 거동을 연구하고자 SLS (Sequential Lateral Solidification) Poly-Si과 ELA (Excimer Laser Annealing) Poly-Si의 활성화 거동을 비교 분석하였다. SLS 및 ELA 결정화 방법으로 제조된 Poly-Si을 모재로 비 질량 분리 방식의 ISD (Ion Shower Doping) System을 사용하여 2.5~7.0 kV까지 이온주입 하였다. 이온주입 후 두 가지의 열처리 방법, 즉, FA 열처리(Furnace Annealing)와 RTA 열처리(Rapid Thermal Annealing)를 사용하여 도펀트 활성화 열처리를 수행하고 이온주입 조건 및 활성화 열처리 방법에 따른 결함 회복 및 도펀트 활성화 거동의 변화를 관찰하였다. TRIM-code Simulation 결과 가속 이온 에너지와 조사량이 증가 할수록 이온주입 시 발생하는 결함의 양이 증가하는 것을 정량적으로 계산하였다. 실험 결과 결함의 양이 증가 할수록 Activation이 잘되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. SLS Poly-Si에 비하여 ELA Poly-Si의 경우 도펀트 활성화 열처리 후 활성화 효율이 높게 나타났다. 본 결과는 Grain Boundary의 역할과 밀접한 관계가 있으며 간단한 정성적인 Model을 제시하였다. 활성화 효율의 경우 RTA 열처리 시편이 FA 시편에 비하여 높은 것이 관찰되었다. 본 결과는 열처리 온도 및 시간에 따라 변화하는 Boron의 특이한 활성화 거동인 Reverse Annealing 효과에 기인하는 것으로 규명되었다.

In order to evaluate the antimicrobial function of natural herb extracts as antimicrobial agent or packaging material for the preservation of foods and greenhouse produce, the water extract of chopi (Zanthoxylum piperitum DC.) was prepared and its antimicobial activity was determined. In the paper disk test its antimicrobial activity was increased in proportion to its concentraion. The growth of microorganisms was completely inhibited above 500ppm of its concentration. It showed wide spectrum of thermal(40 to 180oC) and pH(4 to 10) stabilities. In the electronic microscopic observation(TEM and SEM) of microbial morphological change it showed to decrease the activation of physiological enzymes and to lose the function of cell membranes. Even in the activation test of galactosidase, it seemed to weaken the osmotic function of cell membranes remarkably in comparison with chloroform and its activation corresponded to 40~50% of toluene. Zanthoxylum piperitum DC. extract seemed to be an excellent antimicrobial for the inhibition of food borne microorganisms as well as the pre servation of greenhouse produces.

A QM-ISP-4 Planetary Mill was employed to activate mechanically the mixtures of anatase and corundum at room temperature for different times. The milled powder mixtures were then sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The XRD results showed that the milled powder mixtures were completely transformed into $Al_2TiO_5$ after sintering, except the mixtures milled for 5 and 10 hours. The SEM observations showed the typical morphology of rod-like $Al_2TiO_5$ vary in the range: widths from 0.6 to $1.2\;{\mu}m$, and lengths from 3.0 to $6.0\;{\mu}m$. The rod-like $Al_2TiO_5$ formation was attributed to the positive effects caused by the mechanical activation.

The chemisorption of CO molecules on polycrystalline nickel surface has been studied by investigating the resulting chemisorbed species with the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at temperatures between 300K through 433K. It is found that the adsorbed CO molecules are dissociated by the simple C-O bond cleavage as well as by the disproportionation reaction at temperatures above 373K. The former type dissociation is more favored at low coverages and at elevated temperatures. The isotherms of CO chemisorption are obtained from the xps intensities of C 1s peaks, and then the activation energy of the dissociative adsorption is estimated as a function of the CO exposure. These activation energies are extrapolated to zero coverage to obtain the activation energy of chemisorption in which thermal C-O bond cleavage takes place. The value obtained is 38.1 kJ/mol.

A comparative study using electron-beam(EB) and thermal curing techniques was carried out to determine the effect of cure behavior and thermal stability of epoxy resins. In this work, benzylquinoxalinium hexafluoroantimonate(BQH) was used as a latent cationic catalyst for an epoxy resin. According to the thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), the decomposed activation energy based on Coats-Redfern method was higher in the case of thermal curing technique. This could be interpreted in terms of slow thermal diffusion rate resulted from high crosslink density of the thermally cured epoxy resin. However, the increase of hydroxyl group in the epoxy resin cured by EB technique was observed in near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) measurements, resulting in improving the stable short aromatic chain structure, integral procedural decomposition temperature, and finally ductile properties for high impact strengths.

The effect of novel N-crotyl-N,N-dimethyl-4-methylanilinium hexafluroantimonate (CMH) curing agent on cure behavior and thermal properties of DGEBA epoxy cationic system was investigated. From DSC measurements of DGEBA/CMH system, it was shown that this system exhibits an excellent thermal latent characteristic in a given temperature and reveals complex cure behavior as indicated by multiple exotherms. The conversion and conversion rate of DGEBA/CMH system increased with increasing the concentration of initiator due to high activity of CMH. Viscoelastic properties during gel formation of DGEBA with CMH were investigated by rheological techniques under isothermal condition. The gel time obtained from the modulus crossover. point t(G')=G", was affected by high curing temperature and concentration of CMH, resulting in high degree of network formation in cationic polymerization. The thermal stabilities were discussed in terms of the activation energy for decomposition and thermal factors determined from TGA measurements.ents.

$K_2CoCl_4$, single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method in Ar atmosphere. The thermal hysteresis of the dielectric constant at $T_c$ was investigated. $K_2CoCl_4$ crystal shows ionic hopping mechanism due to $K^+$ ion and the activation energy is nearly 0.62 eV. Thermal expansions along a-, b-, and c-axis of $K_2CoCl_4$, were measured on heating and the thermal expansion coefficients in each phase were calculated. From the result of the optical absorption measurement, we interpreted the absorption peak as transition energy between the splitted energy levels of the Co ion in the crystal field and it showed the possibility of the application to the optical band filter between 800 nm and 1200 nm.
