In the present work, capability of thymolphthalein-grafted graphene oxide, which was successfully synthesized in this study, in stabilization of polypropylene against thermal oxidation were investigated and compared with that of SONGNOX 1010, a commercially used phenolic antioxidant for the polymer. The modified graphene oxide were incorporated into polypropylene via melt mixing. State of distribution of the nanoplatelets in the polymer matrix was examined using scanning electron microscopy and was shown to be homogeneous. Measurements of oxidation onset temperature and oxidative induction time revealed that thymolphthalein-grafted graphene oxide modifies thermo-oxidative stability of the polymer in the melt state remarkably. However, the efficiency of the nanoplatelets in stabilization of polypropylene against thermal oxidation in melt state was shown to be inferior to that of SONGNOX 1010. Furthermore, oven ageing experiments followed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the modified graphene oxide improves thermo-oxidative stability of the polymer strongly in the solid state, so that its stabilization efficiency is comparable to that of SONGNOX 1010.

The effects of geologic structures such as rock joins and bedding planes on the thermal conductivity of a discontinuous rock mass are studied. The expressions for the equivalent thermal conductivities of jointed rock masses are derived and found to be anisotropic. The degree of anisotropy depends primarily on the thermal properties contrast between the joint phase and surrounding intact rock, the joint density expressed as volume fraction and the inclination angle of the joint. Within the context of 2-dimensional finite element heat transfer scheme, the isotherms around a circular hole are analyzed for both the isotropic and anisotropic rock masses in 3 different thermal boundary conditions. i.e. temperature, heat flux and convection boundary conditions. The temperature in the stratified anisotripic rock mass is greatly influenced by the thermal properties of the rock formation in contact with the heat source. Using the excavation-temperature coupled elastic plastic finite element method, analyzed is the thermo-mechanical stability of a circular opening subjected to 10$0^{\circ}C$ at a depth of 527m. It is found that the thermal stress concentration was enough to deteriorate the stability and form a plastic yield zone around the opening, in contrast to the safety factor greater than 2 resulted form the excavation-only analysis.

The present study firstly describes the synthesis of novel, thermo-latent initiators based on xanthenyl phosphonium salts with different counter anions and phosphine moieties and secondly examines their efficiency in the bulk polymerization of glycidyl phenyl ether(GPE). The polymerization was performed with phosphonium salt initiators($I_{SbF6}$, $I_{PF6}$, $I_{AsF6}$ and $I_{BF4}$) at ambient temperature to $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The order of initiator activity was $I_{SbF6}>I_{PF6}>I_{AsF6}>I_{BF4}$. To examine the effect of the phosphine moiety on the initiator activity, polymerization was carried out with $I_{SbF6}(Ph_{3}P)$ and $II_{SbF6}(Bu_{3}P)$ at ambient temperature to $170^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The order of reactivity was $I_{SbF6}>II_{SbF6}$. In general, the conversion percentage increased with increasing polymerization temperature. The thermal stability of these salts was measured by thermo gravimetric analysis(TGA). The solubility of phosphonium salts in various organic solvents and epoxy monomers was also investigated.

The copolymerization of HEMA with different hydrophilic and hydrophobic co-monomers allows for the manipulation of their intrinsic properties. 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA)-based hydrogels thus are of great interest due to their outstanding physico-mechanical properties and chemical stability. The idea to use HEMA in order to create thermo-sensitive polymers was based on our assumption that thermal-sensitivity comes from a suitable hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of macromolecules. In this work we have chosen N-vinyl pyrrolidone as a hydrophilic co-monomer with the relatively hydrophobic HEMA due to its good polymerizing properties as well as its non-toxicity in a polymer state and deserved recognition as a biocompatible material. As a result, copolymerization of NVP and HEMA was successful in obtaining new types of thermo-sensitive polymers composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers.

The nonlinear thermo-electro-elastic buckling behavior of viscoelastic nanoplates under magnetic field is investigated based on nonlocal elasticity theory. Employing nonlinear strain-displacement relations, the geometrical nonlinearity is modeled while governing equations are derived through Hamilton's principle and they are solved applying semi-analytical generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory considers the effect of small size, which enables the present model to become effective in the analysis and design of nano-sensors and nano actuators. Based on Kelvin-Voigt model, the influence of the viscoelastic coefficient is also discussed. It is demonstrated that the GDQ method has high precision and computational efficiency in the buckling analysis of viscoelastic nanoplates. The good agreement between the results of this article and those available in literature validated the presented approach. The detailed mathematical derivations are presented and numerical investigations are performed while the emphasis is placed on investigating the effect of the several parameters such as electric voltage, small scale effects, elastomeric medium, magnetic field, temperature effects, the viscidity and aspect ratio of the nanoplate on its nonlinear buckling characteristics. It is explicitly shown that the thermo-electro-elastic nonlinear buckling behavior of viscoelastic nanoplates is significantly influenced by these effects. Numerical results are presented to serve as benchmarks for future analyses of viscoelastic nanoplates as fundamental elements in nanoelectromechanical systems.

The effect of fumed silica loading on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of fluorosilicone (FVMQ) rubber was investigated. The distribution of fumed silica inside FVMQ was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and the thermal stability of composites was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis and by the changes in mechanical performance during thermo-oxidative aging. The function mechanism of fumed silica was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that with increasing silica content, the crosslink density of composites, the modulus at 100%, and tensile strength also increased, whereas the elongation at break decreased. Furthermore, increasing the silica content of composites increased the initial decomposition temperature (T_d) and residual weight of the composite after exposure to nitrogen. In addition, the thermal oxidative aging experiment demonstrated improved aging resistance of the FVMQ composites, including lower change in tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus at 100%.

Computational analysis of aqueous solution stability of Fe-Cr-Ni system to find an electroplating condition of Fe-Cr-Ni layer. Aqueous sulfate solution with iron, chromium and nickel ions was selected by using a numerical S/W with which aqueous solution stability was analyzed. Several possible conditions to perform electro-forming of Fe-Cr-Ni were selected with thermo-dynamical data. The Fe-Cr-Ni system was electro-formed which composition and microstructure of the electroplated Fe-Cr-Ni significantly depended on the solution temperature and electro-potential. The final composition of Fe-3%Cr-48%Ni with less than $30{\mu}m$ thick was well electroplated.

Tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) is a useful enzyme for the synthesis of pharmaceutical aromatic amino acids. In the current study, sequential DNA shuffling and screening were used to enhance the stability of TPL. Twenty-thousand mutants were screened, and several improved variants were isolated. One variant named A13V, in which the $13^{th}$ amino acid alanine was substituted by valine, exhibited a higher temperature and denaturant stability than the wild-type TPL. The purified mutant TPL, A13V, retained about 60% of its activity at $76^\circ{C}$, whereas the activity of the wild-type TPL decreased to less than 20% at the same temperature. Plus, A13V exhibited about 50% activity with 3 M urea, while the wild-type TPL lost almost all its catalytic activity, indicating an increased denaturant tolerance in the mutant A13V. It is speculated that the substitution of Val for the Ala in the $\beta$-strand of the N-terminal arm was responsible for the heightened stabilization, and that the current results will contribute to further research on the structural stability of TPL.
