Structural changes of high modulus carbon fiber by oxidation in carbon dioxide gas using SEM, TEM, and XRD have been observed. It was shown that the originally high modulus carbon fiber is composed of highly ordered graphitic crystalline area and non-crystalline area. It was observed that the La increases during the whole oxidation process. It was shown that the oxidation of high modulus carbon fiber initiates at the non-crystalline area and at the ends of fiber. The large pores developed in fiber by direction of fiber length at high temperature ($1,100^{\circ}C$), and the small pores developed on the fiber surface at low temperature ($900^{\circ}C$). In conclusion, it is found that the oxidation of the carbon fiber was progressed through the imperfection.

This paper describes the mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of carbon fibers with and without additions of boron oxide additives, and describes the changes in the properties resulting from increased heat treatment temperature (HTT) of the fibers. Carbon fibers in this experiment were heat treated up to $2800^{\circ}C$ each with and without boron oxide treated on the surface of fibers. In the case of boron oxide added carbon fibers, they do not show the improvement of tensile strength and modulus compared to those of no treated carbon fibers below $2200^{\circ}C$ since they are doped substitutionally with boron above $2600^{\circ}C$, which accelerate the graphitization of carbon fibers. Boron oxide implanted carbon fibers showed high resistance to oxidation, however, when carbon fibers were heat treated below $2200^{\circ}C$, they showed almost the same trend of air oxidation.

In this work, we studied the effects of electrochemical oxidation treatments of carbon fibers (CFs) on interfacial adhesion between CF and epoxy resin with various current densities. The surface morphologies and properties of the CFs before and after electrochemical-oxidation-treatment were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and single-fiber contact angle. The mechanical interfacial shear strength of the CFs/epoxy matrix composites was investigated by using a micro-bond method. From the results, electrochemical oxidation treatment introduced oxygen functional groups and increased roughness on the fiber surface. The mechanical interfacial adhesion strength also showed higher values than that of an untreated CF-reinforced composite.

Understanding the mechanism of carbon oxidation is important for the successful modeling of diesel particulate filter regeneration. Carbon oxidation characteristics were investigated by temperature programmed oxidation(TPO) method as well as constant temperature oxidation(CTO) with a flow reactor including porous bed. The activation energy of carbon oxidation was increasing with temperature and had two different constant values in the early and the later stage of the oxidation process respectively in TPO experiment. Kinetic constants were derived and the reaction mechanisms were assumed from the experimental results and a simple reaction scheme was proposed, which approximately predicted the overall oxidation process in TPO as well as CTO.

Hot-rolled steel plates of SPHC and SS400 were oxidized at 600, 750 and $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr in air. With an increase in the oxidation temperature, their oxidation rates increased, and this was accompanied by the formation of pores and cracks in the thickened oxide scales, which were non-adherent. SPHC steels manufactured by either an arc furnace or a blast furnace displayed similar oxidation rates, indicating that their oxidation rates were insensitive to the manufacturing process. Medium-carbon SS400 steel displayed somewhat faster oxidation rates than low-carbon SS400 steel, indicating that the carbon content did not significantly influence the oxidation rates.

In this study, densified 4D carbon/carbon composites were made from carbon fiber and coal tar pitch through the process of pressure impregnation and carbonization and then followed by carbonization and graphitization. To improve the oxidative resistance of the prepared carbon/carbon composites, the surface of carbon/carbon composites was coated on SiC by the pack cementation method. The SiC coated layer was created by depending on the constitution of pack powder, and reaction time of pack-cementation. The morpology of crystalline and texture of these SiC coated carbon/carbon composites were investigated by XRD, SEM/EDS observation. So the coating mechanism of pack-cementation process was proposed. The oxidative res istance were observed through the air oxidation test, and then the optimal condition of pack cementation was found by them. Besides, the oxidative mechanism of SiC formed was proposed through the observation of SiC coated surface, which was undergone by oxidation test.

Anti-oxidation coatings are the key technique for carbon/carbon (C/C) composites used as the thermal structural materials. The microstructure and oxidation behavior of several kinds of high-performance ceramic coatings for C/C composites prepared in Northwestern Polytechnical University were introduced in this paper. It showed that the ceramic coatings such as SiC, Si-$MoSi_2$, SiC-$MoSi_2$, $Al_2O_3$-mullite-SiC and SiC/yttrium silicate/glass coatings possessed excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures, and some of these coatings were characterized with excellent thermal shock resistance. The SiC-$MoSi_2$ coating system has the best oxidation protective property, which can effectively protect C/C composites from oxidation up to 1973 K. In addition, the protection and failure reasons of some coatings at high temperature were also provided.

Graphite has hexagonal closed packing structure with two bonding characteristics of van der Waals bonding between the carbon layers at c axis, and covalent bonding in the carbon layer at a and b axis. Graphite has high tolerant to the extreme conditions of high temperature and neutron irradiations rather than any other materials of metals and ceramics. However, carbon elements easily react with oxygen at as low as 400C. Considering the increasing production of today of hydrogen and electricity with a nuclear reactor, study of oxidation characteristics of graphite is very important, and essential for the life evaluation and design of the nuclear reactor. Since the oxidation behaviors of graphite are dependent on the shapes of testing specimen, critical care is required for evaluation of nuclear reactor graphite materials. In this work, oxidation rate and amounts of the isotropic graphite (IG-110, Toyo Carbon), currently being used for the Koran nuclear reactor, are investigated at various temperature. Oxidation process or principle of graphite was figured out by measuring the oxidation rate, and relation between oxidation rate and sample shape are understood. In the oxidation process, shape effect of volume, surface area, and surface to volume ratio are investigated at $600^{\circ}C$, based on the sample of ASTM C 1179-91.

서로 다른 흑연화도를 갖는 furan 수지로 부터 얻어진 무기화합물(SiC, TiO2) 첨가 탄소재료의 산화반응의 흑연구조 의존성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 탄소재료의 산화는 시료의 표면적에 크게 의존하여, 흑연화가 상당히 진행된시료라 할지라도 표면적이 클 때는 살화속도도 빠른 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 단위 중량이 아닌 단위면적당의 산화속도로 바꿔 생각했을 때 흑연화가 진행될 수록 산화반응도 늦어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 겉보기 활성화 에너지값으로 부터 생각할 때 흑연(TiO2 첨가시료)과 난층흑연(SiC 첨가시료)이 동일한 반응기구에 의해 산화가 진행되는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 두종류 이상의 결정구조가 혼재하여 있는 시료의 경우 이들 성분들의 산화속도는 달라 반응의 초기에 흑연으로 결정화된 않은 비정질 탄소 성분이 흑연 성분보다 먼저 선택적으로 산화되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

탄화 매트릭스의 전구체로 사용된 페놀수지에 세라믹 분말인 이규화몰리브덴 (MoSi$_2$)을 0, 4, 12, 20%의 중량비로 각각 고르게 분산시켜, 여기에 PAN계 탄소섬유를 함침하여 프리프레그법을 이용하여 일방향 탄소섬유/페놀수지 복합재료를 제조하였으며, 이를 다시 탄화(110$0^{\circ}C$) 시켜서 일방향 탄소/탄소 복합재료를 제작하였다. 본 연구에서는 난소/탄소 복합재료에 산화 억제제로 사용된 MoSi$_2$의 첨가량에 따른 복합재료의 산화거동을 산화분위기 하 600-100$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 조사하였다. 그 결과, MoSi$_2$를 함유한 탄소/탄소 복합재료는 복합재료 내치 기공 감소와 산소에 대한 유동 확산 방지막의 형성으로 인하여 카본 활성종이 방해를 받아 MoSi$_2$를 함유하지 않은 것에 비해 산화속도가 감소되어 내산화성이 향상되었다. 이는 산소의 공격에 대한 보호층을 형성하는 MoSi$_2$ 고유의 특성에 따른 영향이라 사료된다.
