In this study, we were clearly identify the behaviour characteristics on particle size distribution of a condensing species by injection condition of HMDS (Hexa Methyl Di-Silazane, silica precursor that is one of liquid adsorbents) to remove condensing gaseous species as using pyroligneous liquor generated during carbonization process of biomass as precursor of condensing gaseous species. When using HMDS to remove the condensing gaseous species by growth machanism of particles, we could be controlled properly particles size such as amount of adsorbent injection, residence time, heating temperature and MFC flux. Especially, in case of using the silica precursor, in consideration of the physical and chemical properties of the boiling point, the specific gravity and the molecular weight, we found that the condensing species could be effectively controlled by particles granulation.

[ $B_4C$ ] ceramics were fabricated by spark plasma sintering process and their sintering behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties were evaluated. Relative density of $B_4C$ ceramics could be achieved by spark plasma sintering method reached as high as 99% at lower temperature than conventional sintering method, in addition, without any sintering additives. The mechanical properties of $B_4C$ ceramics could be improved by the heat treatment at $1300^{\circ}C$ during sintering process which can be removed $B_2O_3$ phase from a $B_4C$ powder surface. This improvement results from the formation of a fine and homogeneous microstructure because the grain coarsening was suppressed by the elimination of $B_2O_3$ phase. Particularly, mechanical properties of the specimen experienced the $B_2O_3$ removing process improved over 30% compared with the specimen without that process.

304 는 BWR(boiling water reactor)의 reactor 구조용 재료로 사용되고 있고, 합금 600 은 PWR(pressurized water reator) 의 증기 발생기 세관으로 쓰이고 있으며 모두 약 $280{\;}^{\circ}C$ 이상 의 원자로 냉각수에 노출되어 있다. 원자로 냉각수 분위기에서 두 합금의 공통적인 특정은 입계응력부식균열(IGSCC)에 민감한것과 IGSCC가 예민화(sensitization)와 관련이 있는 것이 다. 두 합금에서 일어나는 IGSCC는 원자력발전소의 부식피해중 가장 빈도가 높고 발생시 방사능 누출로 인하여 원전의 신뢰성을 저하시키고, 가동중단으로 인한 경제적 손실을 초 래하여 지난 20 년 동안 가장 심도있게 연구된 주제다. 304 은 크롬 탄화물의 업계 석출로 언하여 예민화된경우 IGSCC 에 민감한 반면 600 은 예민화된 경우 뿐만 아니라 용체화처리된 상태에서도 IGSCC에 민감하다. 오히려 600은 용 체화처리 후 700 C에서 15~20시간 시효처리를 하여 크롬탄화물을 업계에 석출 시커었을 때 IGSCC 저항성이 향상된다. 두 합금의 IGSCC 특정 중 큰 차이는 304는 임계균열전위 ( (critical cracking potential) 이 존재하여 부식전위(corrosion potential) 가 엄계균열전위보다 낮 은 경우 IGSCC 가 일어나지 않지만 그 반대인 경우 IGSCC 에 민감하게된다. 반면에 600 은 뚜렷한 임계균열전위가 존재하지 않고 양극 분극(anodic polarization) 뿐만 아니라 음극분극 시에도 IGSCC 가 일어난다. 이련 이유로 600의 IGSCC 가구로 피막파괴-양극용해(film rupture-anodic dissolution)외에 수소취성(hydrogen embrittlement)기구도 제안되고 었다. 원전의 냉각수는 고 순도의 물이지만 수 처리 과정과 웅축기 배관의 누수로 인한 산소, $Cu^{2+},{\;}S_xO_6{\;}^{2-}(x=3~6)$ 등이 유입되어 오염되는데 이려한 오염물질들이 수 ppm정도 소량 포함된 경우 응 력부식민감도는 상당히 증가된다. 산성분위기 흑은 산소, $Cu^{2+}$, 등이 소량 포합된 산화성 분위기 그리고 sufur oxyanion 에 오염된 고온의 물에서 600 의 IGSCC 민감도는 예민화도가 증가할 수록 민감하여 304 의 IGSCC 와 매우 유사한 거동을 보인다. 본 강연에서는 304 와 600 의 고온 물에서 일어나는 IGSCC 민감도에 미치는 환경, 예민화처리, 합금원소의 영향을 고찰하고 이에 대한 최근의 연구 동향과 방식 방법을 다룬다.

In the present study, the effect of variation in alloying elements on the carbide formation behavior during casting and homogenization treatment of M2 high speed steels was investigated. M2 high speed steels of various compositions were produced by vacuum induction melting. Contents of C, Cr, W, Mo, and V were varied from the basic composition of 0.8C, 0.3Si, 0.2Mn, 4.0Cr, 6.0W, 5.0Mo, and 2.0V in weight percent. Homogenization treatment at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 1.5 hr followed by furnace cooling was performed on the ingots. Area fraction and chemical compositions of eutectic carbide in as-cast and homogenized ingots were analyzed. Area fraction of eutectic carbide appeared to be higher in the ingots with higher contents of alloying elements the area fraction of eutectic carbide also appeared to be higher on the surface regions than in the center regions of ingots. As a result of the homogenization treatment, $M_2C$ carbide, which was the primary eutectic carbide in the as-cast ingots, decomposed into thermodynamically stable carbides, MC and $M_6C$. The latter carbide was found to be the main one after homogenization. Fine carbides uniformly distributed in the matrix was found to be MC type carbide and coarsened by homogenization.

To analyze the factors on stretch-flangeability for 980 MPa-grade hot-rolled steels, two types of steels (Fe-Cr and Fe-Mo) were manufactured by hot-rolling. Manufactured steels at the low coiling temperature, such as 400 and $500^{\circ}C$, had poor stretch-flangeability due to un-uniformly distributed carbides and a large deviation of interphase hardness. However, when the coiling temperature was set at $650^{\circ}C$ with Fe-Cr steel, 998 MPa of ultimate tensile strength, 19% of total elongation and 65% of the hole expanding ratio were achieved by microstructural constituents of polygonal ferrite (PF) and granular ferrite (GF) dispersed with fine carbides (<50 nm). Therefore, the material to attain 980 MPa with superior formability was the Fe-Cr steel that was precipitation-hardened in polygonal ferrite and granular ferrite at the coiling temperature $650^{\circ}C$.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), which is a material removal process involving chemical surface reactions and mechanical abrasive action, is an essential manufacturing process for obtaining high-quality semiconductor surfaces with ultrahigh precision features. Recent rapid growth in the industries of digital devices and semiconductors has accelerated the demands for processing of various substrate and film materials. In addition, to solve many issues and challenges related to high integration such as micro-defects, non-uniformity, and post-process cleaning, it has become increasingly necessary to approach and understand the processing mechanisms for various substrate materials and abrasive particle behaviors from a tribological point of view. Based on these backgrounds, we review recent CMP R&D trends in this study. We examine experimental and analytical studies with a focus on substrate materials and abrasive particles. For the reduction of micro-scratch generation, understanding the correlation between friction and the generation mechanism by abrasive particle behaviors is critical. Furthermore, the contact stiffness at the wafer-particle (slurry)-pad interface should be carefully considered. Regarding substrate materials, recent research trends and technologies have been introduced that focus on sapphire (${\alpha}$-alumina, $Al_2O_3$), silicon carbide (SiC), and gallium nitride (GaN), which are used for organic light emitting devices. High-speed processing technology that does not generate surface defects should be developed for low-cost production of various substrates. For this purpose, effective methods for reducing and removing surface residues and deformed layers should be explored through tribological approaches. Finally, we present future challenges and issues related to the CMP process from a tribological perspective.

Ceramic substrates applied to power modules of electric vehicles are required to have properties of high thermal conductivity, high electrical insulation, low thermal expansion coefficient and resistance to abrupt temperature change due to high power applied by driving power. Aluminum nitride and silicon nitride, which are applied to heat dissipation, are considered as materials meeting their needs. Therefore, in this paper, the properties of aluminum nitride and silicon nitride as radiator plate materials were compared through a commercial analysis program. As a result, when the process of applying heat of the same condition to aluminum nitride was implemented by simulation, the silicon nitride exhibited superior impact resistance and stress resistance due to less stress and warping. In terms of thermal conductivity, aluminum nitride has superior properties as a heat dissipation material, but silicon nitride is more dominant in terms of reliability.

In this study, carbon aerogels (CA) were prepared by sol-gel polycondensation of resorcinol and furfural in isopropanol using hexamethylenetetramine as a catalyst, and then directly drying the organic gels under isopropanol freeze-drying conditions, followed by carbonization under a nitrogen atmosphere. The preparation conditions of the CA were explored by changing the mole ratio of resorcinol to furfural. The effect of the preparation conditions on the pore structure of the CA was studied by nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The characteristics of the CA were studied by scanning and transition electron microscopy, and infrared spectrometry. The accessibility of pores and performance of the CA as an electrode in electric double layer capacitors were also electrochemically investigated. As a result, BET surface area and specific capacitance increased with the molar ratio of resorcinol to catalyst (R/C) ratio; the maximum values of 765 ㎡/g and 132 F/g were achieved at the R/C ratio of 200, respectively. Consequently, it was confirmed that increasing the R/C ratio increased the average pore size of the CA electrode, which improved the rate capability of the system.

The cleat system in coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs is generally occupied by water which liberated during the coalification process, and behavior of water have influence on CBM production performance. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the effect of the water saturation to operate the degasification process and predict the CBM production performance properly. In this study, type curve analyses were performed on CBM reservoirs under various water saturation to improve the prediction of production performance. A CBM reservoir models with fully-, modestly-, and undersaturated reservoir were built to get production data using GEM by CMG Ltd., and the data were matched with Fetkovich, Palacio-Blasingame(P-B), and Agarwal-Gardner (A-G) type curve. The results showed that undersaturated reservoir was successfully matched by A-G type curve, while the Fetkovich type curve was inappropriate for matching in the late time. The modestly saturated model could be almost corresponded with all the type curve methods at late production period. For the fully saturated model, after peak production had been reached, both P-B and A-G methods showed a proper match to the reservoir production data without long-term production period. Based on the results, merit and demerit of each type curve under specific water saturation were analyzed and listed. Therefore, it is believed that the production data analysis with proper type curve model considering water saturation can be performed to predict accurate production performance.

LV transition curves for poly(ethylene-co-15.3 mol% octene) ($PEO_{15}$) and poly(ethylene- co-17.0 mol% octene) ($PEO_{17}$) were measured in cyclo-pentane and cyclo-hexane. Between $40{\sim}150^{\circ}C$, the LV curve for ($PEO_{15}$ + cyclo pentane) located $1.1{\sim}2.7$ bar higher than that for ($PEO_{17}$+ cyclo-pentane). In cyclo-hexane, similar behavior was observed for $PEO_{15}$ and $PEO_{17}$ solution except the pressure difference reduced to $0.9{\sim}l.6$ bar. If the backbone structure of $PEO_{15}$ were identical to that of $PEO_{17}$, the LV line for $PEO_{17}$ would locate at high pressures than that for $PEO_{15}$, since the number average molecular weight of $PEO_{17}$ (Ave. Mn=153,040) is 1.9 times higher 4han that of $PEO_{15}$ (Ave. Mn=82,200). The difference in the octene comonomer content between $PEO_{15}$ and $PEO_{17}$ is only 1.7 mole%, nevertheless this small difference in the backbone structure of the PEO greatly affected the location of the L-V curves in the mixtures comprised of PEO and cyclo-alkane.
