Because the physical properties can be decreased when a Nylon 66/glass fiber composite is injected into a mold over $300^{\circ}C$, a systematic study of the thermal history in the case of re-use is needed. Nylon 66/glass fiber extrudates as a function of the extrusion number were prepared using a twin screw extruder at 305/290/273/268/265/$260^{\circ}C$. The chemical structure, thermal properties, melt index, crystal structure, Izod impact strength, and rheological properties were measured by Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR), melt indexer, DSC, TGA, XRD, Izod impact tester, and dynamic rheometer. The FT-IR spectra indicated that the number of extrusions did not affect the chemical structure. The decrease in molecular weight with increasing extrusion number was confirmed by the melt index and the complex viscosity of extrudates. Based on the DSC and TGA results, the thermal history had no effect on the melting temperature, regardless of the number of extrusions, but the degradation temperature decreased up to $20^{\circ}C$ with increasing extrusion number. The Izod impact strengths of the extrudates were found to decrease with increasing extrusion number. No structural change after extrusion was also confirmed because there was no change in the slope and shape of the G'-G" plot.

More recently, there have been significant changes in the forms of channels due to runoff characteristics driven by climate changes and other alterations in basin/channel environments. Particularly, increasing local deposition in major channels is being observed nationwide. Of such phenomena, it is noteworthy that flood-plains show unidirectional growth and lowering of channels within compound channels in the form of a high-flow plain. These changes are supposed to affect management of the river ecology as well as flood control. In this study, the research on channels in Korea confirmed that the phenomenon of local deposition in those channels is actually taking place, rendering a problem to be urgently addressed. Previous studies on bed changes have been focused on low channels based on bed materials distributed over the channels. However, this research has proved that surface-layer deposition of a high-flow plain is closely related with changes in the conditions of ground surfaces and, ultimately, affects the bed of the entire channel as well. According to the intensive research on the condition of the high-flow plain of the mouth of the Han River, the silt deposited in the high-flow plain was the main cause of settlement/growth of vegetation. And this leads to landforming along with woods-forming, disturbing flood control as well as the normal river ecology.

The cylindrical ${\gamma}$-alumina pellets were prepared by forming, hydration, drying and calcination after mixing amorphous alumina and pore generating agent with water. Concentration of Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$ㆍ9$H_2O$ that was catalyst precursor was fixed and made mixing solution that changed concentration of $CH_3$COOH in range of 2.5~20%, and here ${\gamma}$-alumina pellets were immerged and were hydrothermaly treated for 3 h at $200^{\circ}C$. And then we investigated creation and change of crystal, pore characteristics, $N_2$ adsorption and desorption isotherms, changes of acid site and mechanical strengths etc. According to the concentration of $CH_3$COOH, the crystals grew to acicular shape of 0.5~2${\mu}m$ length, and crystal structure showed the pseudo-boehmite structure. When hydrothermaly treated in 10% $CH_3$COOH solution, pore volume between 100~1000 $\AA$ was highest by 0.86 cc/g, and width of hysteresis curved line due to $N_2$ adsorption/desorption appeared as was smallest. When concentration of $CH_3$COOH was in range of 5~15%, new C-H functional groups were formed. Mechanical strength of pellets was highest by 1.35 MPa when $CH_3$COOH concentration was 2.5%.

In this study, fire resistance and residual strength were examined after the addition of PF fiber and bonding fireproofing gypsum board to a high strength concrete-model column of 50 MPa grade. At the beginning of the experiment, all the properties of base concrete appeared to satisfy the target range. In terms of the internal temperature record, a trend of slightly high temperature was shown when the fireproofing gypsum board was not bonding, and when the fireproofing gypsum board was bonding, as PF content increased gradually, the temperature was gradually lowered. In terms of the relationship, as time elapsed a low temperature was shown when fiber was mixed, and when the board was bonding, the trend of lower temperature could be confirmed. Meanwhile, in terms of spalling property, a severe explosive fracture was generated at PF 0%, and falling off was prevented as the fiber content was increased; however, discoloration and a multitude of cracks were discovered, and when the board was bonding, the trend in which the exterior became satisfactory when the content was increased emerged. In terms of the residual compressive strength, measuring of strength could not be performed at PF 0% without bonding of board, and the strength was increased as the fiber content was increased; however, there was a decrease in strength of about 30 ~ 40%, and in the case of PF 0% with the bonding of board, the strength could be measured; however, about an 80% decrease in strength was shown, and only about a 10 ~ 20% decline in strength was displayed, as the range of decrease was reduced as the fiber content was increased. Considering all of these factors, it was determined that a more efficient enhancement of fire resistance was obtained when two methods are applied in combination rather than when the PF fiber content and bonding of fireproofing gypsum board are utilized individually.

We have evaluated structural and electric, ferroelectric properties of PZT(30/70) thick film prepared by using 1,3-propanediol based sol-gel method on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) is used to reduce the thermal stress and final furnace annealing is processed at $650^{\circ}C$. As the results of SEM analysis, we find that we get 350 nm in thickness for one coating and 1 $\mu$m for three times of coating. In the results of C-D analysis at 1 kHz, dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$) and dissipation factor were 886 and 0.03, respectively. C-V curve is shaped as a symmetrical butterfly. Leakage current density at 200 kV/cm is 1.23${\times}$10$^{-5}$ A/cm$^2$ and in the results of hysteresis loops measured at 150 kV/cm, the remnant polarization (P$_{r}$) and the coercive field (E$_{c}$) are 33.8 $\mu$C/cm$^2$ and 56.9 kV/cm, respectively. PZT(30/70) thick film exhibits relatively good ferroelectric, electric properties.s..

A PLT(10) thin film has been deposited on $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by sol-gel method, and its switching characteristics have been investigated with various top electrode areas, input pulse voltages and loan resistances. As the external input pulse voltage increases from 2V to 5V, the switching time decreases from $0.49{\mu}s$ to $0.12{\mu}s$. The activation energy ($E_a$) obtained from the relations between the switching time and the applied pulse voltage is evaluated as 209kV/cm. The switched charge densities at 5V obtained from the hysteresis loop and the polarization switching are $11.69{\mu}C/cm^2$ and $13.02{\mu}C/cm^2$, respectively, which agree relatively well with each other and show the difference of 10%. When the top electrode area increases from TEX>$3.14{\times}10^{-4}cm^2$ to $5.03{\times}10^{-3}cm^2$ and the load resistance increases from 50${\Omega}$ to 3.3$k{\Omega}$, the switching time increases from $0.12{\mu}s$ to $1.88{\mu}s$ and from $0.12{\mu}s$ to $9.7{\mu}s$, respectively. These switching characteristics indicate that PLT(10) thin film can be well applied in nonvolatile memory devices.

This research is described on the applicability of a electrochemical techniques for evaluating nondestructive material degradation with various polarization characteristics for Cr-Mo-V steel. The applied electrochemical technique is anodic polarization test which are widely used to evaluate the corrosion rate and/or sensitization at depleted zone of strengthening elements mainly caused by thermal experience for stainless steels. The evaluation of material degradation is performed by small punch test which has been well known as micromechanics test method using specimen size of $10{\times}10{\times}0.5mm$. The 1,000hrs aged material at $630^{\circ}C$ shows the highest material degradation$({\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP})$, but the 2,000hrs and 3,000hrs aged materials show the decrease of ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$ as aging time increases. It is observed that the difference of current density $({\Delta}I_{FP}\;and\;{\Delta}I_{SP})$.

A Bi$_{4}$Ti$_{3}$O$_{12}$ (BIT) thin film is prepared by sol-gel method using acetate precursors and evaluated whether it could be applied to NVFRAM (Non-Volatile Ferroelectric RAM). The drying and the annealing temperature are 40$0^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$, respectively and they are determined from the DT-TG (Differential Thermal-Thermal Gravimetric) analysis. The BIT thin film deposited on Pt/Ta/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrate shows orthorhombic perovskite phase. The grain size and the surface roughness are about 100 nm and 70.2$\AA$, respectively. The dielectric constant and the loss tangent at 10 KHz are 176 and 0.038, respectively, and the leakage current density at 100 ㎸/cm is 4.71 $mutextrm{A}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$. In the results of hysteresis loops measured at $\pm$250 ㎸/cm, the remanent polarization (Pt) and the coercive field (Ec) are 5.92 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 86.3 ㎸/cm, respectively. After applying 10$^{9}$ square pulses of $\pm$5V, the remanent polarization of the BIT thin film decreases as much as about 33% from 5.92 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of initial state to 3.95 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

The effects of Zr/Ti concentration ratio in PLZT (10/y/z) thin films prepared by sol-gel method are investigated for the NVFRAM application. As Ti amount of Zr/Ti concentration ratio increases, the dielectric constants at 10 kHz decrease from 550 to 400, while the loss tangents increase from 0.028 to 0.053 and the leakage current densities at 170 kV/cm decrease from $1.64\times10^{-6}$ to $1.26\times10^{-7}\;A/cm^2$. In the results of hysteresis loops measured at $\pm170kV/cm$, the remanent polarization and the coercive field increase from 6.62 to $12.86{\mu}C/cm^2$ and from 32.15 to 56.45 kV/cm, respectively, according to the change from 40/60 to 0/100 in Zr/Ti concentration ratio. Fatigue and retention properties also improve much as the Zr/Ti concentration ratio change from 40/60 to 0/100. After applying $10^9$ square pulses with $\pm5V$, the remanent polarization of the PLZT (10/40/60) thin film decreases $50\%$ from the initial state while that of the PLZT (10/0/100) thin film decreases $28\%$. In the results of retention measurements of 10s s, the remanent polarization of the PLZT (10/0/100) thin film dec.eases only $10\%$ from the initial state, while that of the PLZT (10/40/60) thin film decreases $40\%$.

The effects of La concentration in PLZT (z/30/70) thin film prepared by sol-gel method are investigated for the NVFRAM application. As the La concentration increases, the dielectric constants at 10 kHz increase from 450 to 600, while the loss tangent and the leakage current density at 100 kV/cm decrease from 0.075 to 0.025 and from $5.83{\times}10^{-7}\;to\;1.38{\times}10^{-7}\;A/cm^2,$ respectively. In the results of hysteresis loops measured at 175 kV/cm, the remanent polarization and the coercive field decrease from 20.8 to $10.5{\mu}C/cm^2$ and from 54.48 to 32.12 kV/cm, respectively, with the increase of La concentration from 0 to $10mol\%.$ After applying for $10^9$ cycles of square pulses with ${\pm}5V$ height, the remanent polarization of the PLZT (10/30/70) thin film decreases $40\%$ from the initial state, while that of the PLZT (10/30/70) thin film decreases $64\%.$.
