The curing behavior of glass fiber reinforced epoxy prepregs based on Bisphenol-A (BPA) was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The total heat of reaction(${\Delta}H_{total}=280.3J/g$) was determined based on the results of the dynamic heating scanning experiments. Isothermal experiments were carried out at $110{\sim}130^{\circ}C$, and it was observed that the maximum conversion and the maximum reaction rate were increased as temperature increased. Also Kamal equation was applied to analyze autocatalytic reaction of epoxy prepregs. The higher temperatures, the greater reaction rate constants ($k_1$, $k_2$). Theoretical values were calculated by these reaction rate constants and compared with experimental values. And it was confirmed that they were in reasonable agreement. At the beginning of the reaction, the experimental data and theoretical prediction were shown the same tendency, but at the end of reaction, the experimental data were smaller than theoretical predicted values due to reaction rates controlled by diffusion.

This study was conducted to evaluate the adsorption, desorption, leaching and degradation pattern of fungicide fluazinam in the soil environment under the laboratory conditions. The mode of isothermal adsorption of fluazinam in soil was coincident with the Freundlich equation. The adsorption amount of fluazinam was much higher on soils containing organic matter than on soils oxidized with hydrogen peroxide. The presence of organic matter, humic acid or fulvic acid, increased the adsorption amount of fluazinam on soils. The Freundlich constant K was much higher in soil added with humic acid than in soil added with fulvic acid. The desorption ratio of fluazinam adsorbed to soil was increased by removal of organic matter. In leaching experiment using soil column, the fluazinam applied on the soil surface was not moved down to the bottom of soil and was not detected in leachate water. The degradation of fluazinam was faster in Soil I with rich organic matter than Soil II with poor organic matter, in non-sterilized soil than sterilized soil, and in flooded soil than unflooded soil.

The destructive method is reliable and widely used lot the estimation of material degradation but, it have time-consuming and a great difficulty in preparing specimens from in-service industrial facilities. Therefore, the estimation of degraded structural materials used at high temperature by nondestructive evaluation such as electric resistance method, replica method, Barkhausen noise method, electro-chemical method and ultrasonic method are strongly desired. Ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation technique has been reported good to attain efficiency of measurement, high sensitivity of measurement, and rapidity and reliability of result interpretation. In this study, it was verified experimentally the feasibility of the evaluation of degraded 2.25Cr-1Mo steel specimens which were prepared by the isothermal aging heat treatment at $630^{\circ}C$ by high frequency longitudinal wave method investigating the change of attenuation coefficient by FFT analysis and wavelet transform. Because of carbide precipitation increase and spheroidization near grain boundary of microstructure to aging degradation, attenuation coefficient had a tendency to increase as degradation proceeded. It was identified possibly to evaluate degradation using the characteristics of high-frequency ultrasonics. Frequency dependence of ultrasonic attenuation coefficient to aging degradation appeared large, which made sure that attenuation coefficient is an important parameter for evaluation of aging degradation.

Microstructural observations on the pyrochlore-type $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$ and the similar type of compounds, $In_2(Ti_{1.7}Zn_{0.3})O_{6.7}$ and $In_2(Ti_{1.7}Mg_{0.3})O_{6.7}$ which were made by the isothermal heat-treatment at 1623K for 18 days in Pt tube, were carried out using a top-entry HRTEM working at 200 kV. The modulated structures were found in both compounds, however, not in $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$. From the electron diffraction pattern analysis, the modulated superlattices are incommensurate and are 2.69 times of sublattices along (220) direction. The high resolution TEM images have shown that the superlattices consist of alternate superlattices which are composed of two or three sublattices, resulting in the average of 2.7 times of sublattices in accordance with the analysis of electron diffraction patterns. The crystal structures of both compounds are found to quite similar to those of pyrochlore, however the evidence that the cubic axes are slightly deviated from right angle. The modulated structure has gradually changed to the unmodulated structure induced by electron irradiation.

The adsorption and desorption behavior of biofilter-medium was investigated on the performance of an adsorption column. Continuous flow-isothermal adsorption experiments were performed to treat waste air containing such a VOC as ethanol under the same condition of > 90% relative humidity as the condition of the feed to a biofilter process. In case of feeding waste air containing ethanol of 1,000 ppmv (or 2,050 mg ethanol/$m^3$) to the adsorption system at the rate of 2 L/min, the onsets of its breakthrough and reaching the state of dynamic equilibrium at the exit had been delayed 10 and 3 times, respectively, later than those at the 1st stage sampling port. Moreover, in case of 2,000 ppmv (or 4,100 mg ethanol/$m^3$), they had been delayed 9 and 3 times, respectively. Thus, regardless of feeding concentration, the ratios of delaying period were observed to be quite consistent each other at the exit of the adsorption column. With regard to the period of desorption, the ratios of delaying period were consistent each other to be 1.5 for both cases. In addition, the effect of microbial activity and sterilization-process was studied on adsorption equilibrium. The ethanol concentration in the vapor phase of vials packed with sterilized granular activated carbon (GAC) was quite consistent to that with unsterilized GAC. However, the ethanol concentrations in the vapor phase of vials packed with unsterilized compost and the unsterilized mixture of GAC and compost were higher than those with sterilized compost and the sterilized mixture of GAC and compost, respectively.

MnO₂ was prepared by a hydrothermal process method in the range of 120-200 ℃ and 0.5-5 h, calcined at 300 ℃ after induction of precipitation using KMnO₄ and MnCl₂･4H₂O, and its catalytic activity was compared for CO oxidation. The catalysts were characterized using by X-ray diffraction, N₂-sorption, scanning electron microscopy, and temperature programmed reduction of H₂ or CO. The crystalline structure of pure α-MnO₂ or hybrid α/β-MnO₂ was controlled by the preparation conditions. The pure α-MnO₂ showed better catalytic activity and thermal stability than hybrid α/β-MnO₂. Especially, α-MnO₂ prepared at 150 ℃ for 1 h has the highest specific surface area 214 m² g^-1, reducibility and labile lattice oxygen species analyzed by H₂, CO-TPR, respectively. It also showed the best CO oxidation activity in both conditions of temperature programmed and isothermal reaction. The results came from the physicochemical properties of catalysts like the crystalline structure, specific surface area, reducibility and lattice oxygen species, and which are correlated with catalytic performance.

Alloys of TiAl with six different compositions. i. e., Ti-(42, 44)Al-2Nb-4V. Ti-(42, 44)Al-4Nb-2V and Ti -(42, 44)Al-4Nb-2Cr, were manufactured by arc-melting. and their oxidation behavior was studied. Both isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests were performed at 700, 800 and $900^{\circ}C$ in air for 50hr. The oxidation resistance increased in the order of Ti-(42, 44)Al-2Nb-4V, Ti-(42, 44)Al-4Nb-ZV and Ti-(42, 44)Al-4Nb-2Cr. It was found that V was a deleterious element, while Cr was a beneficial element in terms of oxidation resistance. During oxidation, a simultaneous interdiffusion was observed. All the constituent elements in the base alloys diffused outward. whereas oxygen from the atmosphere diffused inward, to form triple oxide layers composed of an outermost $\textrm{TiO}_2$ layer. upper ($\textrm{TiO}_2+\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$) mixed layer, and lower $\textrm{TiO}_2$-rich layer.

The age-hardening behavior of unreinforced 6061 Al alloy and SiCp/6061 Al alloy composites reinforced with different size of SiC particle (average diameter ; 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 7.0$\mu\textrm{m}$) was investigated by hardness measurement, calorimetric technique and transmission electron microscopy. At 17$0^{\circ}C$ isothermal aging treatment, the peak aging time of 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite and 7.0$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite is shorter than that of unreinforced 6061Al alloy, and the aging of 7.0$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite is accelerated more than that of 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite. This acceleration is due to the increase of dislocation density by the compositeness with SiCp and the SiC particle size. In the peak aged condition, the major strengthening phase of these materials is intermediate $\beta$ phase(Mg$_2$Si), and the activation energy for the formation of $\beta$ phase is considerably decreased by the compositeness with SiCp and the increasing of SiC Particle site.

Experimentally it is well known that the magnetic properties significantly deteriorate when nanocomposite bonded magnet are made from nanocomposite ribbon. A decrease in maximum energy product of F $e_3$B+N $d_2$F $e_{14}$B nanocomposite from 14 MGOe in nanocomposite ribbon to 6.5 MGOe in powder compact was fecund to be general. Thus, the present study is focused on finding out the root of exchange decoupling of N $d_4$F $e_{73.5}$ $Co_3$H $f_{0.5}$G $a_{0.5}$ $B_{18.5}$ nanocomposite powder compacts. The exchange decoupling behavior of the powder compact of F $e_3$B+N $d_2$F $e_{14}$B composition was studied by measuring DC demagnetization and isothermal remanent demagnetization curves, which are essential for plotting produced $\delta$M curve. From the $\delta$M plot the deterioration in the magnetic properties resulted from the fact that the magnetostatic interaction became dominant rather thanthe exchange interaction in powder compact. It is concluded that the demagnetization behavior governed by the dominant magnetostatic interaction reduced the remanence magnetization, which caused the reduction of maximum energy Product of the powder compact. We also found that the elimination of residual stress which is unavoidably accumulated during grinding process enhanced the magnetic properties considerably.bly.bly.

The spallation of a thermal barrier coating layer depends on the formation of brittle spinels. thermal expansion mismatch between ceramic and metal. the phase transformation of a ceramic layer and residual stress of coating layer. In this work. the formation mechanism of oxide scale formed by oxidation treatment at 90$0^{\circ}C$ was investigated in order to verify oxidation behavior at the interface between E-beam coated $Zr0_2$-7wt.% $Y_20_3$ and plasma sprayed CoNiCrAIY. Some elements distributed in the bond coating layer were selectively oxidized after oxidation. At the initial time of oxidation. AI-depletion zone and $\alpha$-$Al_O_3$,O, were formed at the bond coating layer by the AI-outward diffusion. After layer grew until critical thickness. spinels. $Cr_20$, and $C0_2CrO_4$ by outward diffusion of Co. Cr, Ni were formed. It was found that the formation of spinels may be related to the spallation of $Zr0_2$-7wt.% $Y_20_3$ during isothermal oxidation.
