Behavior of platinum group elements during crystallization within ore magma is of interest. In this study platinum is selected and its mineralogical and geochemical behavior in the presence of antimony and tellurium is investigated at 600$^{\circ}C$. High purity Pt, Sb, and Te are used as starting material and silica quartz tubings are as container. Rection products have been examined by use of ore microscope, X-ray diffractometer, electron microprobe analyser and micro-indentation hardness tester. stable phases at 600$^{\circ}C$ are platinum (Pt), Pt5Sb, Pt3Sb, PtSb, stumpflite (PtSb), geversite (PtSb), PtTe, Pt3Te4, Pt2Te3, moncheite (PtTe2), tellurantimony (Sb2Te3), and antimony (Sb). Geversite is the mineral showing the most significant extent of solid solution by up to 27 at% between Sb and Te elements. Isothermal section of 600$^{\circ}C$ is established in this study. It is noted that platinum cannot coexists with stumpflite or geversite under equilibrium condition, and stumpflite composition in equilibrium with geversite may be used as geothermometer.

In the study, annealing temperature was optimized by comparing with avrami crystallization rate and constant (k) using non-oriented PLA film as a base film. Crystallization rate constant of PLA film was 1.64, 1.68, and 1.26 at $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$, and $140^{\circ}C$, respectively. Annealing temperature was mainly affected on the surface properties such as rougnness (Ra) and kinetic friction coefficient (${\mu}_k$). Roughness of PLA film was 0.006 ${\mu}m$ at $80^{\circ}C$ and increased to 0.009 ${\mu}m$ 0.015 ${\mu}m$, 0.027 ${\mu}m$, and 0.029 ${\mu}m$ at $110^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$ and $140^{\circ}C$, respectively. Kinetic friction coefficient decreased 0.45 to 0.43, 0.33, 0.31, 0.27 as annealing temperature was at $80^{\circ}C$, $110^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$, and $140^{\circ}C$, respectivly. In addition, rate constant (k) was 0.58, 0.46, and 0.39 with adding 1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt% talc, respectively.

Thermal properties of Fe- base amorpous alloys were investigated. $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys were fabricated by melt spinning method and thermal analysis was done by differential scanning calorimeter. After isothermal crystallization. the Avrami exponents of $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys were 1.8-2.2 and 2.5-4.0, respectively. It means the former alloy shows diffusion controlled growth and the latter one shows interface controlled growth. For $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys. the activation energies of isothermal crystallization was 353 and 371kJlmol. Also the activation energies of nucleation and growth were 301, 324kJlmol and 273. 30lkJ/mol, respectively. Thus $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloy is considered to be more stable than $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloy.

Since amorphous alloys have been known to have better mechanical and chemical properties than crystalline alloys of the same composition, a great number of studies on the formation of Al-based amorphous alloys have been carried out actively. However, little has been obtained about the effect of Rare-Earth metal and Transition metal addition on amorphous phase formed by melt spinning method. This study included fabrication of amorphous alloy $Al_{85}Ce_5Ni_{10}$ by melt spinning methods and DTA, XRD, TEM analysis to determine crystalization behavoir. Annealing treatments were carried out in Ar atmosphere under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. The diffraction pattern of non-heated ribbons showed broad form characteristic of glass metallic alloy. The crystallization of amorphous $Al_{85}Ce_5Ni_{10}$ takes place eutedtoidly by homogeneous formation of Al and MS-1, followed by precipitation of the $Al_{11}Ce_3$ and later $MS-1{\rightarrow}Al_3Ni$ transformation.

In this study, we investigate the deformation behavior of $Hf_{44.5}Cu_{27}Ni_{13.5}Nb_5Al_{10}$ metallic glass powder under repeated compressive strain during mechanical milling. High-density (11.0 g/cc) Hf-based metallic glass powders are prepared using a gas atomization process. The relationship between the mechanical alloying time and microstructural change under phase transformation is evaluated for crystallization of the amorphous phase. Planetary mechanical milling is performed for 0, 40, or 90 h at 100 rpm. The amorphous structure of the Hf-based metallic glass powders during mechanical milling is analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Microstructural analysis of the Hf-based metallic glass powder deformed using mechanical milling reveals a layered structure with vein patterns at the fracture surface, which is observed in the fracture of bulk metallic glasses. We also study the crystallization behavior and the phase and microstructure transformations under isothermal heat treatment of the Hf-based metallic glass.

Phase behavior and spinodal phase separation kinetics in binary blends of a random copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene (75/25) [P(VDF/TrFE)] and poly(l,4-butylene adipate) (PBA) have been investigated by means of optical microscopic observation and time-resolved light scattering. The blends exhibited a typical lower critical solution temperature (LCST)∼${34}^{\circ}C$ above the melting temperature of the P(VDF/TrFE) crystals over the entire blend composition range. P(VDF/TrFE) and PBA were totally miscible in the temperature gap between the melting point of P(VDF/TrFE) and the LCST. Temperature jump experiments of the 3/7 P(VDF/TrFE)/PBA blend were carried out on a light-scattering apparatus from a single-phase melt state (${180}^{\circ}C$) to a two-phase region (205∼${215}^{\circ}C$). Since the late stage of spinodal decomposition (SD) is prevalent in the 3/7 blend, SD was analyzed using a power law scheme. Self-similarity was preserved well in the late stage of SD in the 3/7 blend.

결정성 고분자수지는 가공조건에 의해 결정되는 미세구조의 변화에 따라 최종물성 이 현저히 달라지므로 최종 성형품의 물성을 극대화하기 위해서는 성형가공 중에 필연적으 로 부가되는 열이력 뿐만 아니라 전단이력이 결정화 거동에 미치는 영향을 규명하고 가공조 건의 최적화를 통하여 미세구조를 적절히 제어하는 것이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 in-situ 상태로 전단유도 결정화거동을 조사할수 있는 rheo-kinetic 실험 방법을 개발하고 결정화 거동에 미치는 열이력과 전단이력의 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 비교적 결정화 속도가 빠른 폴리 부틸렌 테레프탈레이트 수지를 대상으로 냉각조건, 전단부가시간, 전단속도등을 다양하게 변화시키면서 plate-plate 레오미터로 시간에 따른 전단응력의 변화 를 조사하는 rheo-kinetic 연구를 수행하였다. 아울러 실험 중에 액체 질소로 급냉하여 얻은 시료를 대상으로 등온 및 비등온의 열분석 실험을 수행하고 JMA식과 Hoffman-Lauritzentlr 을 사용하여 분석한 다음, 그 결과를 rheo-kinetic 해석결과와 비교함으로써 결정화 거동에 미치는 전단응력의 영향을 규명하였다. 일정전단속동하에서 수행한 rheo-kinetic 실험결과, 시간에 따른 저난응력의 증가와 용융열이 증가하는 경향이 매우 유사한 거동을 보이므로 전 단응력의 증가는 결정화가 일어남에 기인한 결과임을 확인할수 있었으며 고분자수지가 전단 이력을 받게 되면 분자배향의 결과로 결정화 유도시간이 짧아지고 결정화속도가 증가할 뿐 만 아니라 보다 더 높은 온도에서 결정화가 일어나게 됨을 알수 있었다. 또 결정화 반가기 시간과 Hoffman-Lauritzen 식의 매개변수들이 전단속도, 전단부가시간, 결정화 온도 등의 이력에 무관하게 전단응력에 따라 선형적으로 변하고 있으므로 전단유도 결정화거동은 수지 에 부가되는 전단응력에 직접적인 영향을 받음을 알수 있었다. 이상과같은 전단유도 결정화 거동에 관한 결과를 가공공정상의 열전달 현상과 결합하여 해서하면 성형품 내부의모폴로지 의 예측이 가능하므로 성형품 물성의 극대화 방안의 수립에 이용될수 있을것으로 사료된다.

The influence of CaO addition on the crystallization temperature, crystal types, and microstructure of L-A-S ($Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$) glass-ceramics system fabricated from a coal bottom ash, produced at thermal power plant, was studied. The glass transition and crystallization temperatures were shifted to the higher temperature position with increasing CaO content in a non-isothermal analysis using a DTA. The major crystalline phases of L-A-S glass-ceramics system produced were identified as ${\beta}$-spodumene ($LiAlSi_2O_6$) and eucryptite ($LiAlSiO_4$). The glass-ceramics showed a bulk and surface crystallization behavior at a time. With increasing CaO content, the ${\beta}$-spodumene peak in XRD increased and some CaO-related phases were formed. The surface crystal grown from the exterior to the center in glass-ceramics showed various shapes by amount of CaO added. Some cracks were generated at the glass-ceramics containing CaO above 9 wt% due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients between a ${\beta}$-spodumene and CaO-related crystal phases.

The crystallization behavior of irradiated polypropylene (PP) and the blend is an important parameter for polymer processing. Blends of PP/low density polyethylene (LDPE) with different LDPE contents were prepared by melt mixing in a twin screw extruder. The effect of the LDPE content on the irradiation effectiveness of the PP/LDPE blend with trimethylolpropane-trimetacrylate (TMPTMA) as a crosslinking co-agent was investigated in conjunction with the LDPE loading in the blend. The non-isothermal crystallization and crystal structure were measured by DSC, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and polarized optical microscopy (POM). A decrease in the melting temperature of PP was observed due to irradiation, which may be due to the PP chain scissioning effect of irradiation. The Ozawa component n represents a rod shaped, disc shaped and sphere-shaped geometry of the crystal if the value corresponds to 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Based on Ozawa analysis, the values of n were 3.8 and 2.3 for the pure PP and PP blends with 30 wt% LDPE, respectively. The fact that the crystal geometry of PP changed from spherical to disc and rod shaped was confirmed by Ozawa analysis and POM. The ${\beta}$ form XRD peak of the PP/LDPE blend at $16.1^{\circ}$ disappeared after irradiation due to the crosslinking reaction.

The crystallization behavior of the amorphous $Fe_{73.5}Cu_{1}Nb_{3}Si_{16.5}B_{6}$ alloy with isothermal annealing at $552^{\circ}C$ was studied by $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The amorphous phase was revealed to coexist together with $Do_{3}-FeSi$ nanocrystalline and Cu-duster in annealed alloys by $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum analysis. At the early stage of crystallization, Si content of FeSi is high due to the creation of Cu-cluster, and decreases with annealing until 60 minutes, which results in the increase in the mean hyperfine field of FeSi, and thereafter keeps constant. After 60 minutes, the decrease in the mean hyperfine field of the residual armrphous, in spite of a slight change in the volume fraction of the FeSi and the residual armrphous, is caused by the increase in the content of Nb and B in residual amorphous phase. Both directions of the hyperfine field, those of the FeSi and the residual amorphous, become randomly oriented in about 60 minutes. For FeSi and Cu-duster, the Avrami exponents are 0.51 and O.65, the activation energies are 2.35 eV and 2.44 eV, and the incubation times are 2.4 minutes and 0.8 minutes respectively. Earlier formation of Cu-duster than that of FeSi is coincidence with the fact that Cu atom promotes the nucleation of the FeSi.
