In the polymerization of ethylene to produce crystalline polyethylene wax using the homogeneous titanium-based catalyst, the effects of various parameters such as catalyst, temperature, pressure, comonomer and time on the performance of catalyst and the properties of polyethylene wax were investigated. The properties of polyethylene wax obtained were characterized in terms of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, crystallinity, density and morphology. Among the polymerization features with a series of mixed cocatalyst systems of $(C_2H_5)_3Al$, $(i-C_4H_9)_3Al$, $(C_2H_5)_2AlCl$ and $(C_2H_5)_3Al_2Cl_3$, it turned out that the combination of $(C_2H_5)_3Al$ and $(C_2H_5)_3Al_2Cl_3$ was more effective than any other combination. It was noted that the activity of catalyst and the properties of polyethylene wax were affected by the polymerization parameters, i.e. time, temperature and hydrogen partial pressure. The various kinds of crystalline polyethylene wax could be obtained by careful control of these parameters. Also we could obtain low density polyethylene wax which has density down to 0.91 g/cc by use of 1-butene as a comonomer.

Molybdenum phosphate(P/Mo = 0.6) has been synthesized with ammonium molybdate and phosphoric acid under aqueous solution. The kinetics of the ammoxidation of methylpyrazine over molybdenum phosphate catalyst was investigated with the variation of reaction temperature and partial pressure of methylpyrazine, oxygen and ammonia, respectively at atmospheric pressure. The catalytic activity was constant for 300hrs operation under our experimental conditions. Under the steady-state condition, the rate equation of methylpyrazine was shown as $-r=kP_{MP}P_{NH3}{^0}P_{O2}{^{\gamma}}({\gamma}=2.2;1.3{\leq}P_{O2}(kPa){\leq}4)$. The apparent activation energy was 29.6kcal/mol below 623K. The main product obtained in the ammoxidation of methylpyrazine is cyanopyrazine whose selectively was kept always over 90% regardless of conversion.

표면에너지는 계면특성을 지배하는 핵심인자로 디스플레이의 터치 스크린 패널 공정, 이종소재의 접합, 금속의 클래딩 등 실제 산업에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 표면에너지는 코팅과 본딩 이론에 있어서 기본이 되는 물리량으로 표면에너지가 높을수록 코팅 또는 박막 증착시 코팅, 증착이 용이하며 이종소재의 접합도 쉽게 일어난다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 표면처리시 산소 분율의 변화에 따른 기판의 표면에너지와 코팅층과 기판의 부착력의 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 연구의 주요 기판으로 ITO, PET 기판을 사용하였고, 표면 에너지 변화를 확인하기 위해 기판을 상온 상압 플라즈마에 노출시켰다. 플라즈마는 아르곤(Ar)의 공급량을 20 LPM으로 고정하고 산소($O_2$)의 공급량을 0 sccm에서 40 sccm 까지 10 sccm 간격으로 변수를 주었다. 표면에너지 값은 기판 위에 형성된 액체의 접촉각을 통해 도출하였다. 표면에너지 측정 액체로 증류수(deionized water)와 디오도메탄(diiodo-methane)을 사용하였다. 표면에너지는 산소분압이 10 sccm에서 최대값인 76 mJ/m2으로 증가한 후 20 sccm까지 유지하다 다시 직선적으로 감소하였다. 기판에 증착된 크롬 박막의 부착력은 스크래치 테스트를 통해 측정하였다. 표면에너지의 증가와 비례하게 부착력은 증가하였고 표면에너지가 감소하는 범위에서는 부착력도 감소하였다. 기판과 코팅층의 부착력 증가 원인 중 하나인 계면 산화물 층의 생성 여부를 알아보기 위해 auger electron spectroscopy (AES) 분석을 진행하였다. AES 분석을 통해 플라즈마 표면처리시 기판과 코팅층의 계면 산화물층의 두께가 표면에너지의 변화와 비례하게 증가하였다가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 산소분압이 10 sccm 이었을 경우 산화물층의 두께가 가장 두꺼웠다. 또한 계면의 화학적 결합 상태를 알아보기 위해 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) 분석을 진행하였으며 산소 분율의 변화에 따라 크롬 산화물의 양이 증가하였다 감소하는것을 확인하였다. 이 연구를 통해 산소를 포함한 플라즈마 표면개질이 기판과 코팅층의 부착력 증가에 영향을 끼침을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 이를 응용하여 부착력 증가가 필요한 다양한 분야에서도 쉽게 적용시킬 수 있을 것이다.

$BaTIO_3$ thin films were prepared on (100) $BaTIO_3$ substrates by coating- pyrolysis process using metal-organic compounds of Ba and Ti. The amorphous films prefired at $450^{\circ}C$were crystallized above $700^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of $2\times 10^{-4}$. The lattice parameters of the perpendicular axis for the $BaTIO_3$ thin films heat-treated below $800^{\circ}C$ were closer to a value of cubic $BaTIO_3$, whereas those above $800^{\circ}C$ were closer to a value of tetragonal BaTiG. The results of XRD P scan and pole-figure analyses indicated that BaTiO, thin films have an epitaxial relationship with the $SrTiO_3$ substrates. The $BaTIO_3$thin films annealed at$800^{\circ}C$ showed the surface with island-like grains about 0.4$mu \textrm{m}$ and the cross section of 0.8 $mu \textrm{m}$ thickness with granular grains.

Reactivity of Char-CO$_2$ gasification of five coals for power generation was investigated with PTGA in the temperature range 850∼1000$^{\circ}C$ and the pressure range 0.5∼2.0 MPa. The effect of coal rank, initial char characteristics and pressure on the reaction rate was evaluated for five chars. The reactivity of low lank coal char was better than that of high rank coal char, and this could be explained with the initial pore structure and surface area of char. Meso/macro-pores of char seems to markedly affect char reactivity by way of providing channels for diffusion of reactant gas into the reactive surface area. For the range of tested pressure, the reaction rate is proportional to CO$_2$ partial pressure and the reaction order ranges from 0.4 to 0.7 for five chars. The effect of total pressure on the reaction rate was small, and kinetic parameters, based on the unreacted core model, were obtained for five chars.

Nonstoichiometry and defect model for $Ni_{1-x}O$ were determined by coulometric titration method. In the temperature range of 1123-1198K and oxygen partial pressure of 0.21-0.1 atm, the nonstoichiometry was found to be proportional to the fourth root of the oxygen partial pressure. This pressure dependence can be explained by the fact that nonstoichiometric $Ni_{1-x}O$ contains singly ionized metal vacancies as the predominant point defects. At T=1173K and $Po_2=0.21atm$, the nonstoichiometry, x was $1.21{\times}10^{-4}$. The standard formation enthalpy of defects in $Ni_{1-x}O$ was found, on the basis of this defect model, to be 0.95 eV. Also the result indicates that both of singly and doubly ionized metal vacancies are simultaneously present at above 1248K.

In this study, phenol-based activated carbons (ACs) were fluorinated at various fluorine partial pressures (0.01~0.03 MPa) and the $Cr^{6+}$ ion adsorption of fluorinated ACs was investigated. According to BET and XPS results, the specific surface area and total pore volume of fluorinated ACs increased by 24.7 and 55.8%, respectively, and fluorine functional groups were introduced to AC surface. The most optimized condition of $Cr^{6+}$ ion adsorption was confirmed at the fluorine partial pressure of 0.02 MPa. And also the removal efficiency of $Cr^{6+}$ ion was up to 98% at 300 mg/L of the initial concentration, and these results showed an approximately three-fold increase compared to that of using untreated ACs. Furthermore, the $Cr^{6+}$ ion adsorption of fluorinated ACs was completed in less than 30 min in contrast with untreated ACs, which was expected to be an increase of the affinity between $Cr^{6+}$ ions and ACs surfaces by fluorination.

In this study, activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were treated by oxy-fluorination to improve the adsorption property of benzene gas, one of the gases causing sick house syndrome. Surface properties and pore characteristics of oxyfluorinated activated carbon fibers were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and adsorption properties of benzene gas were evaluated by gas chromatography (GC). As a result of XPS data, it was confirmed that the fluorine functional groups on activated carbon fibers surface increased with increasing the fluorine partial pressure. The specific surface area of all samples decreased after the oxyfluorination treatment, but the micropore volume ratio increased when the fluorine partial pressure was at 0.1 bar. The oxyfluorinated activated carbon fibers adsorbed 100 ppm benzene gas for an 11 h, it was found that the adsorption efficiency of benzene gas was improved about twice as much as that of untreated ones.

The weighted sum of gray gas model(WSGGM) is applied to arbitrary mixtures of CO$_2$ and H$_2$0 gases. To evaluate this model, the spectral and total intensities are obtained for two different problem types. One has uniform, parabolic and boundary layer type temperature profiles with uniform partial pressure, and the other has nonuniform partial pressure and temperature profile. The results obtained from the two different problem types show fairly good agreements with the results obtained by the statistical narrow band model(SNB model) which is regarded as the reference solutions. The WSGGM and its data base provided by this study can be used for analysis of radiative transfer by combustion gases with different thermal loadings and chemical compositions.

Electrical conductivity of $CdO-La_2O_3$ system containing 0.8mol% of CdO was measured from 500 to $900^{\circ}C$ at oxygen partial pressures of $10^{-7}\;to\;10^{-1}$ atm. Plots of log ${\sigma}$ vs. 1/T at constant $PO_2$ are found to be linear and the activation energy appears to be 0.97eV. The log ${\sigma}$vs. log $PO_2$ is found to be linear at oxygen pressures of $10^{-7}\;to\;10^{-1}$ atm and $500{\sim}900^{\circ}C$. The conductivity dependence on $PO_2$ at the above temperature range is given by ${\sigma}\;{\alpha}\;PO_2^{1/4}$. The defect structure in this system is believed to be complex, i.e., ${V_{La}}^{'''}$ and $V\"{o}$. The interpretations of conductivity dependences on temperature and $PO_2$ are presented and conduction mechanism is proposed to explain the data.
