In the preparation of hydroxyapatite(HAp)/gelatin(GEL) nanocomposite, GEL matrix was modified by the introduction of chondroitin sulfate(ChS) to obtain a strongly organized composite body. The formation reaction of the HAp/GEL-ChS nanocomposite was then investigated via XRD, DT/TGA, FT-IR, TEM and SEM. The organic-inorganic interaction between HAp nanocrystallites and GEL molecules was confirmed from DT/TGA and FT-IR. According to the DT/TGA results, the exothermal temperature zone between 300 and $550^{\circ}C$ showed an additional peak temperature that indicated the decomposition of the combined organics of the GEL and ChS. From the FT-IR analysis, calcium phosphate(Ca-P) was covalently bound with the GEL macromolecules modified by ChS. From TEM and ED, the matrix of the GEL-ChS molecules was mineralized by HAp nanocrystallites and the dense dried nanocomposite body was confirmed from SEM micrographs.

Solid hydrated by hydro-thermal synthesis reaction is cured two times, the first curing is the steam curing at atmospheric pressure and the second one is a high-pressure steam curing, that is autoclaving. Steam curing is to acquire the proper strength for the resistance of treatment in the first curing process, it was not evaluated properly so far. Because of ignorance about curing, some engineers even think that the dry curing is better than the steam curing. The relation between compressive strength of solid hydrated by hydrothermal synthesis reaction and curing condition are presented in this paper. In order to investigate the effect of curing on the strength properties of specimen, the hydration behavior of solid hydrated by hydro-thermal synthesis reaction has been studied over curing condition using XRD, DT-TGA and porosimeter, SEM analysis technique. The results show that the specimens which are cured with blended method of dry and steam curing appear to have better strength properties than that of dry curing and steam curing. Also, there are significant difference of hydration behavior among curing condition in the solid hydrated by hydro-thermal synthesis reaction.

The thermal properties of wood flour, Hwangto, and maleated polyethylene (MAPE) reinforced HDPE composites were investigated in this study. The thermal behavior of reinforced wood polymer composites was characterized by means of thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analyses. Hwangto and MAPE were used as an inorganic filler and a coupling agent, respectively. According to TGA analysis, the increase of wood flour level increased the thermal degradation of composites in the early stage, but decreased in the late stage. On the other hand, Hwangto reinforced composites showed the higher thermal stability than virgin HDPE, from the determination of differential peak temperature ($DT_p$). Decomposition temperature of wood flour and/or Hwangto reinforced composites increased with increase of heating rate. From DSC analysis, melting temperature of reinforced composites little bit increased with the addition of wood flour or Hwangto. As the loading of wood flour or Hwangto to HDPE increased, overall enthalpy decreased. It showed that wood flour and Hwangto absorbed more heat energy for melting the reinforced composites. Hwangto reinforced composites required more heat energy than wood flour reinforced composites and virgin HDPE. Coupling agent gave no significant effect on the thermal properties of composites. Thermal analyses indicate that composites with Hwangto are more thermally stable than those without Hwangto.

$TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$ was prepared by precipitation from the mixed solution of titanium chloride and hydrochloric acid followed by modification with sulfuric acid. The characterization of prepared catalyst was performed by using IR, XPS, XRD and DT-TGA. Infrared spectra of $TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$ showed bidentate sulfate ion coordinated to the surface of $TiO_2$. The acid strength of modified catalyst was at least $H_0{\leq}-14.52$, showing the superacidic properties which are attributed to the double bond nature of S=O of the complex formed by the interaction of $TiO_2$ with sulfate ion. For $TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$, the specific surface area increased and the transition from the amorphous to anatase phase occurred at a higher temperature, as compared with pure $TiO_2$.

Catalytic combustible gas sensors were fabricated by using ${\gamma}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ with large surface area and noble metal catalysts. The optimum conditions for ${\gamma}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ fabrication were investigated by DT/TGA and XRD analyses and it was found that fabricated ${\gamma}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ had superior value as surface area of $215.5m^{2}/g$. Gas sensors were manufactured and tested to inflammable gases by using Pt coil as a heater and temperature sensing part, fine ${\gamma}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ powder as a bead material and Pt, Pd noble metal powder as a catalyst. From the results, fabricated sensor showed good sensitivity to LPG and LNG of 20mV/l000ppm, 6.5mV/l000ppm respectively.

The (1-x)$MgTiO_3-SrTiO_3$ (x=0,0.1,0.2,0.3) ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties were investigated with sintering temperature and composition ratio by XRD, SEM and DT-TGA. Increasing the sintering temperature from $1300^{\circ}C$ to $1600^{\circ}C$, second phase was decreased and grain size was increased. The average grain size of the $0.8MgTiO_3-0.2SrTiO_3$ ceramics sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$ were $3.61{\mu}m$.

High purity Al2O3 has been extracted from serlcite of clayminerals, selicite was treated by H2SO4(2N∼18N) solution, NH4OH treatment(PH8.5∼10.0) and metallic impurities such as Fe were removed by NaOH treatment. The tendency of extraction yield of ${\alpha}$-Al2O3 have been investigated by relating reaction time, acid concentration.

본 논문에서는 시차열중량분석법과 X-선 회절분석법을 이용한 원전콘크리트의 탄산화에 의한 열화도 평가를 진행하였으며 두 가지 정성적 분석방법을 이용한 반정량적 평가 방법을 개발하였다. 원자력발전소 건설에 사용된 동일한 콘크리트 배합을 사용한 시편을 촉진 탄산화 시험장치에 28, 56, 91, 180, 365일 기간에 걸쳐 노출시켜 탄산화를 진행하였으며 노출된 시편은 시차열중량분석법, X-선 회절분석법을 이용하여 탄산화에 따라 발생된 열화생성물의 양을 정성적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 탄산화로 인해 발생되는 Calcite의 양이 노출기간에 따라 점차적으로 증가되는 것이 확인되었으며, Calcite의 생성을 위해 이산화탄소와 반응하는 Portlandite의 양이 점차적으로 감소되는 것이 확인되었다. 본 논문에서는 위의 언급된 두 방법의 관계성을 통해 열화도 평가를 진행하였다.

The aggregates with the different mineralogical features are studied how to affect the basic physical properties of concretes according to the changes of the chemical composition, mineralogical composition, crystal size, the standard qualities in the aggregates in using chemical analysis, X.R.D. DT-TGA, polarized light microscope, streoscopic microscope, standard test method of aggregates & concretes. At this studies, we found that aggregates without the seathered mineral such as muscovite & kaolin mineral etc, is superior to the others with the weathered mineral, even if it's standard qualities are inferiored to the other's. For examples, in manufacturing high strength concretes. The strength of concretes used aggregates without weathered mineral are improved about 15% than the other's and also. For general mixture to manufacture remicon, more about 10-20% than the other's strength and workability.
