Two kinds of CNT/TiO2 composite photocatalysts were synthesized with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and titanium(IV) n-butoxide (TNB) by a MCPBA oxidation method. Since MWCNTs had charge transfer and semiconducting, the CNT/TiO2 composite shows a good photo-degradation activity. The XRD patterns reveal that only anatase phase can be identified for MCT composite, but the HMCT composite synthesized with HCl treatment was observed the mixed phase of anatase and rutile. The EDX spectra were shown the presence as major elements of Ti with strong peaks. From the SEM results, the sample MCT and HMCT synthesized by the thermal decomposition with TNB show a homogenous sample with only individual MWCNTs covered with TiO2 without any jam-like aggregates between CNTs and TiO2. From the photocatalytic results, we could be suggested that the excellent activity of the CNT/TiO2 composites for organic dye and UV irradiation time could be attributed to combination effects between TiO2 and MWCNTs with plausible photodegradation mechanism.

In this study, manufacturing of polymer master and mold insert for micro injection molding was investigated. Ablation by excimer laser radiation could be used successfully to make 3-D microstructure of PET. The mechanism for ablative decomposition of PET with KrF excimer laser(λ: 248nm, pulse duration: 5ns) was explained by photochemical process. And this process showed PET to be adopted in polymer master for nickel mold insert. Nickel electroforming by using laser ablated PET master was preferable for replication method. Finally, it was shown that excimer laser ablation can substitute for X-ray lithography of LIGA process in microstructuring.

Polyethylene (PE) and maleic anhydride-grafted PE (PE-g-MAH) were pyrolyzed, and their pyrolysis products were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to investigate the influence of MAH grafted onto PE on pyrolysis behaviors. Major pyrolysis products of PE and PE-g-MAH were n-alkanes, 1-alkenes, ${\alpha},{\omega}$-alkadienes, and aromatic compounds. 1-Alkenes were more formed than n-alkanes, ${\alpha},{\omega}$-alkadienes, and aromatic compounds. Butadiene was more produced from PE than PE-g-MAH, whereas toluene and ethyl benzene were more generated from PE-g-MAH than PE. Difference in the pyrolysis behaviors between PE and PE-g-MAH were explained by initial decomposition of MAH moiety.

In order to characterize the catalytically active sites on carbon black, acetylene chemisorption had been examined recently at 773 and 873 K by using a pulse technique. As the inject ion was repeated at 773 K, the adsorbed amount gradually decreased and eventually the adsorption did not occur any more. At 873 K a constant amount of $C_2H_2$ was consumed repeatedly after several injections. Good linear relationships were obtained between the methane decomposition rate at 1123 or 1173 K and the cumulative acetylene adsorption at 773 K or the constant acetylene consumption at 873 K. Reasonable models for the associative acetylene chemisorption at 773 K and the constant acetylene consumption at 873 K on the armchair face at the edges of graphene layers were proposed. The constant consumpt ion may be explained by the "$C_2H_2$-addition-hydrogen- abstract ion (CAHA)" mechanism.

This paper presents the calibration for the parallel typed tilting table. The calibration system needs only simple sensing device which is a digital indicator to measure the orientation of a table. The calibration algorithm is developed by a measurement operator. It eliminates the concern about the poor parameter observability due to a large number of parameters of parallel-mechanism. This paper uses the QR-decomposition to find the optimal calibration configurations maximizing the linear independence of rows of a observation matrix. The number of identifiable parameters is examined by the rank of the observation matrix, which represents the parameter observability. The method is applied to a Parallel-typed Tilting Table and all the necessary kinematic parameters are identifiable.

This research identifies radon gas absorption mechanism by adsorption materials, replacing gypsum board with radon emissions, the density and absorption rates of magnesium were carried out using vermiculite, anthracite, powdered active carbon, bentonite, illite, diatomite as a basic study on the fire resistance type of radon Gas reduction type with absorption and decomposition. As a result of the experiment, diatomite showed the lowest density, and the highestt value was the highest. For the absorption rate, bentonite showed the highest absorption rate, and the anthracite showed the lowest absorption rate.

On the basis of the thermally-activated Wear theory, it is well estabilished that the secondary activated energy, which is mainly resulted from the exothermic reaction of hydrogen from thermal decomposition of the hydrocarbons at the high temperature and the high speed, caused catastropic failure. The new additive, viz., DEP was synthesized to reduce or eliminate the hydrogen effect at the contact junction. Through the thermal degrading and the thermodynamic consideration, the synthesized additive, viz., DEP showed the possibiliy as the hydrogen scavenger.

This work carried out the removal of aniline by wet oxidation in aqueous solutions like a industrial wastewater using Ozone, UV, and Ozone-UV . The main features of this experiment are as follows: the aniline was decomposed by OH and HO$_{2}$ radicals which produced from the reaction of water with UV and Ozone, when the Ozorie and Ozone-UV used the aniline was decomposed completely. The decomposition of aniline was very fast reaction and the reaction times were within 10min. and 20min. in case of for Ozone Ozone-UV respectively. Assumed simplified reaction mechanism from the aniline oxidation model, and the we are calculated the theoretical reaction rate constants by computer simulation, and then compared with experimental data. We suggest that this simulation program is applicable to estimate of the aniline decaying concentration and removal efficiency of aniline - contaminated wastewater.

Tribochmical behaviors of a borate of triethanolamine in water solution were evaluated using a four-ball wear tester. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to study tribochemical species on worn scars of steel balls. Results show that a thick deposit layer was produced on the worn scars, which came from the decomposition of the borate. The surface film on the worn scars was mostly consisted with H$_{3}$BO$_{3}$, B$_{2}$O$_{3}$ and large amounts of ferricyanides.

The omnidirectional mobility of a mobile robot may lose significance in motion control, unless the isotropy characteristics of the mechanism is maintained well. This paper investigates the local and global isotropy of an omnidirectional mobile robot with three caster wheels. All possible actuations with different number and combination of rotating and steering joints are considered. First, the kinematic model based on velocity decomposition and the algebraic conditions for the local isotropy are obtained. Second, the geometric conditions for the local isotropy are derived and all isotropic configurations are fully identified. Third, the global isotropy index is examined to determine the optimal parameters in terms of actuation set, characteristic length, and steering link length.
