Oxidation behavior and microstructural characteristics of nano-sized Sn powder were studied. DTA-TG analysis showed that the Sn powder exhibited an endothermic peak at $227^{\circ}C$ and exothermic peak at $560^{\circ}C$ with an increase in weight. Based on the phase diagram consideration of Sn-O system and XRD analysis, it was interpreted that the first peak was for the melting of Sn powder and the second peak resulted from the formation of $SnO_2$ phase. Microstructural observation revealed that the $SnO_2$ powder, heated to $1000^{\circ}C$ under air atmosphere, consisted of agglomerates with large particle size due to the melting of Sn powder during heat treatment. Finally, fine $SnO_2$ powders with an average size of 50nm can be fabricated by controlled heat treatment and ultrasonic milling process.

The heat transportation from a complex of industry to a rural area needs more efficient method because the distance between them is usually more than 10km. Conventional heat transportation using steam or hot water via pipe line has limits in transportation distance (about 3-5 km) because of the heat loss and frictional loss in the pipe line. Metal hydride can absorb or discharge hydrogen through exothermic and endothermic reaction. After releasing hydrogen from metal hydride with heatings by waste heat from industry we can transport this hydrogen to the rural area via pipe line. In the urban areas other metal hydride reacts with this hydrogen and produces heat for heating. Cool heat is also obtained if it is possible to use metal hydride with low reaction temperature. So metal hydride can be used as a media for transportation, storage of heat. Some problems of the heat transportation using metal hydrides, and the example of heat transportation system were discussed.

Membrane formation mechanism by the phase inversion has been investigated in order to control the membrane morphology. It was found that finger-like structures were obtained when the heat of mixing between the solvent and non-solvent is exothermic, while sponge-like structures were obtained when they are endothermic in polystyrenes as well as in polyimides (Torlon and polyimide made frorn 3,3'4,4'-benzophenontetracarboxylic diahmydride and 1,4-phenylene diarnine) membranes. This concept was applied to control the morphology of polysulfone membranes simply by adding a solvent additive by adjusting the heat of mixing. A crude, but simple, relationship between the heat of mixing and the exchange rate of the solvent with non-solvent has been also developed.

In order to limit the temperature rise of the structure to a certain level or less while maintaining the aerodynamic shape of solid rocket nozzle by effectively blocking a large amount of heat introduced by the combustion gas of high temperature and high pressure, the heat-resistant materials such as C/C composite having excellent ablation resistance are applied to a position in contact with the combustion gas, and the heat-insulating materials having a low thermal diffusivity are applied to the backside thereof. SiC/SiC composite, which has excellent oxidation resistance, is applied to gas turbine engines and contributes to increase engine performance due to light weight and heat-resistant improvement. Scramjet, flying at hypersonic speed, has been studying the development of C/SiC structures using the endothermic fuel as a coolant because the intake air temperature is very high. In this paper, characteristics, application examples, and development trends of various heat-resistant composites used in solid rocket nozzles, gas turbine engines, and ramjet/scramjet propulsions were discussed.

The modified polyethylene(m-PE) films were prepared from aqueous dispersions which were synthesized by reacting poly(ethylene-co-methylacrylate) with aqueous KOH and ammonia solution to attach -COOK, $CONH_2$, and COOH as pendent groups in the polyethylene backbones. Thermal, tensile and heat-seal properties were measured to investigate the effect of the pendent groups. Endothermic peaks on DSC curves were affected by the thermal history of the samples and a melting peak was observed at around $86^{\circ}C$ on the second heating curve while three melting peaks were shown on the first heating curve. A minimum value of tensile strength was shown at 70 mole% of COOK based on pendent groups. Tensile modulus increased with increasing the amide content in pendent groups. The m-PE films were heat-sealed at lower temperature than LDPE films and showed a minimum heat seal strength at around 70 mole% COOK content in pendent groups.

It was performed to test the combustive properties of low density polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate (LDPE-EVA) mixture by the addition of magnesium hydroxide. Flame retardant of natural magnesium hydroxide was added to the mixture of LDPE-EVA in 40 to 80 wt% concentration. The composite was compounded to prepare specimen for combustive analysis by cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1). Comparing with virgin LDPE-EVA, the specimens including the magnesium hydroxide had lower combustive properties. It is supposed that the combustion-retardation properties in the composites improved due to the endothermic decomposition of magnesium hydroxide. The specimens with magnesium hydroxide showed both the lower peak heat release rate (PHRR) and lower effective heat of combustion (EHC) than those of virgin polymer. As the magnesium hydroxide content increases, time to ignition increased and the peak heat release rate decreased.

Eight under 2 micron size fractions of the montmorillonite from Jugjeonri area, Gyeongsanbug-do, were studied and then this result has been compared with data from Yongdongri area. Montmorillonites occurring at the same stratigraphic horizon in each area show limited variation in chemical composition, but shows some degree of differences in exchangeable cation compositions and total layer charges of montmorillonites from Jugjeonri to Yongdongri area. In general, samples from Jugjeonri show higher amount of exchangeable Na and layer charge due to relatively higher substitution of Mg for Al in octahedral sites than those from Yongdongri area. But Their dehydroxylation endothermic peaks of the samples from both areas are abnormal type with a small range of variation of peak temperature. This variation seems to reflect tetrahedral substitution of AI for Si for samples from Yongdongri whereas samples from Jugjeonri do not show shuch a tendency. However, samples from Jugjeonri proved to be relatively higher dehydroxylation peak temperatures than those of the other. DSC data for sample from Jugjeonri also show that divalent-cation saturated montmorillonite have relatively a higher endothermic heat capacities than monovalent-cation saturated one as shown in previous work. Two different morphologies of montmorillonites, honeycomb structure and closely packed intergrowth, by SEM were observed in samples from both areas but the later one is common. The scalloped type is relatively abundant in the sample from Yongdongri than the other. The dominant habit by TEM are irregularly shaped foliated aggregates and platy shaped particles. In general, foliated aggregates which are easy to disperse are relatively abundant in the samples from Jugjeon compared with those from Yongdongri area.

The sericite ore is formed by the hydrothermal alteration of rhyodacitic welded tuff. The alteration zone of the host rock can be classified into four types based on the mineral assemblages ; sericite, quartz-sericite, silicified and propylite zone. The sericite ore mainly occurs as vein types and fault clay along the fault plane in the quartz-sericite zone. Mineral components of the sericite ore are mainly sericite with minor diaspore, corundum and pyrite. The sericitic porcelaineous ore is mainly composed of quartz and sericite. Accessory minerals are muscovite, diaspore, sphene, corundum, pyrite, iron-oxides and etc. The chemical compositions of K2O, Al2O3, and ignition loss in the sericite ore increase largely than that of the host rock, while the compositions of SiO2, Na2O and Fe2O3 decrease. XRD patterns of the heat-treated sericite ores show the formation of mullite at $1,200^{\circ}C$. and the diaspore-bearing sericite ore forms mullite and corundum at $1,200^{\circ}C$. The differential thermal analysis of the sericite ores show small endothermic peak at 645~668$^{\circ}C$. and the diaspore-bearing sericite ore shows a strong endothermic peak at $517^{\circ}C$. It indicates that the decomposition of diaspore appear at lower temperature than that of sericite. The thermal expansivity of the sericite ores show the similar pattern. The sericite ores show the thermal expansivity of 3.3~4.7% at 900$^{\circ}C$ and 0.39~0.75% at 1,20$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. DTA-TG curves of the sericite ores show closely relations with the thermal expansivity.

Rapid visco-analyzer (RVA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the effect of rice bran dietary fiber extract on gelatinization and retrogradation of wheat flour. The addition of rice bran dietary fiber extracts from various heat treated bran into wheat flour caused to increase the pasting temperature, peak viscosity and final viscosity of RVA measurements. For gelatinization measured with DSC, mixtures of wheat flour and rice bran dietary fiber extract had slightly higher To (onset temperature) and Tp (peak temperature) values than those of control (wheat flour), and wheat flour/defatted rice bran dietary fiber extract mixture had the lowest enthalpy value. In comparison with gelatinization, the retrogradation endotherm of mixtures stored at $4^{\circ}C$ up to 4 weeks occurred at about $20^{\circ}C$ lower temperatures than gelatinization endotherm with broader shape and well-defined thermograms with storage time. The retrogradation of wheat flour was retarded greatly by addition of rice bran dietary fiber extract, and there was no big difference between 5% and 10% additions.
