PP-grafted GO was prepared by the reaction of graphene oxide (GO) containing 2-bromoisobuyryl groups and polypropylene (PP) having hydroxyl groups (PP-OH) via a "grafting-to" method. GO-Br was synthesized by the reaction of GO and 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide under a basic condition. PP-MAH was reacted with ethanolamine to produce PP-OH. The melting temperature of PP-grafted GO was shifted to the higher temperature than that of PP-OH. Also, the thermal stability of PP-grafted GO was increased as compared to PP-OH and GO. These results demonstrated that the grafted coating polymer PP was effective for enhancing the thermal stability of GO. The higher surface roughness of PP-grafted GO was resulted from the chemical attachment of PP on the surface of GO. The characterization of PP-grafted GO was conducted from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Supercapacitor has been studied actively as one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage system for a wide range of applications. To increase the energy density of supercapacitor, the introduction of ionic liquids is required. In this study, two types of EMI-$BF_4$ based on quaternary imidazolium salt were prepared with quaternary reaction and anion exchange. The structural characterization and thermal stability were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance($^1H$-NMR) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), respectively. Thermal stability of the EMI-$BF_4$ using TGA confirmed that, after heat treatment, the decomposition temperature of EMI-$BF_4$ was increased. Supercapacitors were fabricated with synthesized and commercial ionic liquids, and charge/discharge characteristics were also investigated. The capacity of supercapacitor, for synthesized and commercial EMI-$BF_4$ were determined to be 0.067 F and 0.073 F respectively, by means of charge/discharge test.

In this paper, we analyzed the properties change of electric wire when the thermal stress was applied to 600V grade polyvinyl chloride insulated wire (IV). In the structure analysis, normal wire has the properties of direction on the surface, but in case of deteriorated wire at above $400^{\circ}c$, it formed the carbide, the crack and the crystal. The surface composition rate of normal wire was Cu : 100%, but the section composition of the deteriorated wire at $800^{\circ}c$ showed Cu : 78.89%, O : 21.11%. In result of analyzing the differential scanning calory of copper wire, the new reaction peak was observed on the deteriorated wire at above $700^{\circ}c$. In case of the deteriorated wire as $150^{\circ}c$ at the differential thermal analysis, an endothermic reaction appeared at $264^{\circ}c$ lower than the reactive point of normal wire. The occupation rate of oxygen according to the deterioration of copper wire is about 20% at $500^{\circ}c$.

Recently the application of plastic optical fiber (POF) in automotives and planes demands the heat-resistant and high refractive index con materials. We synthesized polyglutarimides (PGIs) via imidization of PMMA with primary amines under high pressure and high temperature and investigated thermal and optical properties by varying the molar ratio of amines and the type of amines (ethyl amine vs. isopropyl mine). The degree of imidization was calculated based on the peak intensity in $^1H$ NMR and FTIR. We found that the glass transition temperature $(T_g)$ of PGIs increased over $30^{\circ}C$ compared to the traditional core materials in POF, PMMA, and they are stable up to $300\sim400^{\circ}C$. PGIs anthesized with ethyl mine show the better heat resistance than those with isopropyl amines. Additionally, they show the comparable transparency and higher refractive index than PMMA. It implies that they can be utilized as the excellent photo-efficient and heat-resistant core materials in POF.

$RuO_2$ thin films were deposited on Si and Ru/Si substrates by rf magnetron reactive sputtering and annealed in oxygen atmosphere(1atm) to investigate their thermal stability and diffusion barrier property. $RuO_2$ thin films were thermally stable up to 700\ulcorner for 10min. in oxygen atmosphere and showed excellent barrier property against the interdiffusion of silicon and oxygen. After annealing at $750^{\circ}C$ , however, volatilization to higher oxide occurred at the surface and inside of $RuO_2$ thin film and diffusion barrier property was also deteriorated. When annealed at $800^{\circ}C$, $RuO_2$thin film showed a different microstructure from that of $RuO_2$ thin film annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$. It is likely that surface defect structure of $RuO_2$, $RuO_3$, and excess oxygen had an influence on the mode of volatilization with increasing annealing temperature.

Thermal stability of Co/Cu artificial superlattice (AS) prepared by RF-magnetron sputtering and the effect of low temperature annealing on the magnetoresistance of the AS have been investigated in this work. Dependence of annealing behavior on the Cu spacer thickness, Fe underlayer thickness, and kind of the underlayer was examined and the relationship between the interfacial reaction and magnetoresistance was studied. It turned out that when Co/Cu AS was annealed at low temperature ($<450^{\circ}C$), the magnetoresistance could increase in the case of AS with thick spacer Cu ($20~25\AA$) layer, whereas it decreased in the case of AS with thin spacer Cu ($7\AA$) layer, which of the former is in contrast with previous reports and the latter in consistent with them. The increase of magnetoresistance is due to increase of interfacial atomic sharpness, which is supported by low angle X-ray diffraction analysis. The thermal stability of Co/Cu AS was better in the case of thick Fe underlayered AS. Interfacial reaction (separation of intermixed Co and Cu) could be observed at lower temperature for (200)-textured samples than for (111)-textured samples, which can be interpreted in terms of interdiffusion kinetics depending on the crystallographic orientation.

As hypersonic flight speeds and engines efficiencies increase, heat loads on an aircraft and it's engine increase. Because the temperature of the air flow is too high to cool the aircraft structure at hypersonic flight speeds, it is essential to use the aircraft fuel as the primary coolant. Endothermic fuels are liquid hydrocarbon aircraft fuels which are able to absorb the heat loads by undergoing endothermic reactions, such as thermal and catalytic cracking. The endothermic reactions are improved by catalysts which change the extent of reaction and product distribution. At high temperature, liquid hydrocarbons would lead to coke formation that can reduce the effectiveness of heat exchanger and cause rapid degradation of the catalyst, thus endothermic capacity of endothermic fuels is limited to the temperature at which coke doesn't form. In this study, the essential cooling technologies by applying endothermic fuels and the properties of the endothermic fuels are described.

수소동위원소 교환반응에 이용되는 스티렌-디비닐벤젠 고분자 촉매 담체를 제조하였다. 중합반응시 일정한 용매계에서 용매/모노머 함량비와 팽윤제/침전제 함량비를 변화시켜 담체의 표면특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 가교도가 33%일 경우 용매/모노머가 2.0 이하에서 팽윤제/침전제의 함량비가 증가할수록 10~30$\AA$의 반경을 갖는 기공의 분포가 증가하였다. 담체의 열적안정성을 확인하기 위한 열 중량 분석에서는 온도를 일정한 비율로 단시간에 증가시킬 경우에는 담체의 가교도에 관계없이 35$0^{\circ}C$ 근처에서 거의 유사한 degradation을 보였지만 온도를 매우 천천히 증가시켜 장시간 노출시킬 경우 가교도에 따라서 degradation의 정도와 경향이 다르게 나타남을 확인하였다.

Polyalkylsilanes such as poly(dialkyl)silanes and poly(monoalkyl)silanes were synthesized by sonochemical dechlorination-condensation method from (dialkyl or monoalkyl)chlorosilanes with sodium metal. Those polyalkylsilanes were analyzed for the properties such as thermal behaviors from TGA analysis and obtained ceramic yields of 10-20% for poly(dialkyl)silanes and 40-60% for poly(monoalkyl)silanes. Ceramic composite discs were prepared by the combined mixture of polyalkylsilanes and SiC powder and were tested by TGA and analyzed by SEM and XRD for the application as binder for ceramic composite precursors.
