Since the engineering plastics having a melting point of higher than 300 degrees have a high mechanical rigidity, chemical resistance, friction and abrasion performance, those are being highlighted as metal replacement materials in various industries. In this study, 3D printer nozzle with excellent heat dissipation characteristics are designed and analytically verified to form engineering plastics with high melting points in 3D printers based on the melt-lamination modeling method. In order to insulate between the heat block heated to a melting point of filament material and the upper part of the nozzle where the filament is transferred, the heat brake part with low thermal conductivity was designed to have two separate parts, and a cooling fin structure is further applied to the heat brake part to lower steady-state temperature by air convection. Optimized structural design on FDM nozzle part reduces the temperature at the heat sink and at the end part of heat brake by 50% and 14% respectively, compared to the conventional BCnozzle structure.

When test tubes for PCM with melting point lower than a room temperature are installed vertically as the T-history method proposes, there exists a temperature distribution in the longitudinal direction by natural convection, which lowers the precision of measured heat-of-fusion. The purpose of the present work is to improve the precision by arranging the test tubes horizontally, while maintaining the simplicity and convenience. Assuming that the amount of heat transfer is very small through the vapor space formed in the upper part of the tubes by volumetric change, the obtained value by the T-history method using the latent heat period bounded by two inflection points is in good agreement with that of the literature. Also, the scattering of measured values by the proposed method decreases markedly compared to that of vertical positioning.

Thermosyphons are simple devices that can passively transport thermal energy over relatively large distance with little temperature degradation. Especially, the thermosyphon system requires no costly energy input and is completely maintenance free. These attributes permit the use of low grade thermal energy for thermal control of structures including the stabilization of highway foundations. This paper presents the experimental results of the snow melting system in which thermosyphon was utilized to ransfer the earth energy to the pavement to remove snow and ice. The test facility, three earth heated and one unheated test panels, is designed to investigate the variables associated with removing snow and ice from pavement surfaces. The results of these test show that the earth heated panel surface temperature is higher $2{\sim}6^{\circ}C$ than unheated panel when the ambient air temperature is $-7^{\circ}C$. The thermal performance of this earth source thermosyphon system for road heating showed that there was no snow on the heated test panels when the snowfall was 5cm average for the region.

In $TiO_2$-CuO systems, low-temperature sinterability was investigated by a conventional sintering method. Sintering temperatures were set at under $950^{\circ}C$, at which the volume diffusion is inactive. The temperatures are less than the melting point of Ag ($961^{\circ}C$), which is often used as an internal conductor in low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology. To optimize the amount of CuO dopant, various dopant contents were added. The optimum level for enhanced densification was 2 wt% CuO. Excess dopants were segregated to the grain boundaries. The segregated dopants supplied a high diffusion path, by which grain boundary diffusion improved. At lower temperatures in the solid state region, grain boundary diffusion was the principal mass transport mechanism for densification. The enhanced grain boundary diffusion, therefore, improved densification. In this regard, the results of this study prove that the sintering mechanism was the same as that of activated sintering.

The $Li_2O-MgO-MgF_2-SiO_2$glasses with addition of $B_2O_3$ were investigated in order to make glass-ceramics for low temperature firing substrate. Glasses were made by melting at $1450^{\circ}C$ in the electronic furnace and crystallized at $750^{\circ}C$. After the crystallization, crystal phases and microstructure were observed. The crystal phases were polycrystalline of lithium boron fluorphlogopite and lithium fluorhectorite. The crystal shape was changed to grande type from needle type with the increase in $B_2O_3$ contents. Average particle size of the glass-ceramics aftar water swelling was $3.77{\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The optimum sintering temperature and sintering shrinkage of the substrate were $900^{\circ}C$ and 13.4vol%, respectively.

The sintering behavior of LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramics) chip couplers was investigated in relation with Ag diffusion at the interface of glass ceramic substrate-Ag electrode. Sintering temperature was in the range of 825$^{\circ}C$-975$^{\circ}C$. The commercial green sheet and silver electrode were used. Below 875$^{\circ}C$ the diffusion of the Ag ion into the substrate and the penetration of glassy phases into the electrode occurred due to an increase of fluidity. Thus the lectrode line was severely deformed and damaged. At 975$^{\circ}C$ the transformation of crystalline phases into glassy phases and the melting of the Ag electrode resulted in the diffusion of the considerable amount of Ag ions.

Two-step growth to incorporate the Mg atoms in the ZnO nanorods fabricate by thermal evaporation process and also utilized the ZnO film as a template. In the first step of low temperature, Zn seed metals with low melting temperature formed the droplet, and then MgZnO ternary nanorods were grown by injecting oxygen and evaporating Mg atoms in high temperature process of the second step. The vertical growth of the MgZnO nanorods with large-area distribution and uniformity was successfully performed on the ZnO template. We investigated the shape of the vertically grown 1-D MgZnO nanorods and characterized the optical and crystal properties. We confirmed the incorporation of Mg atoms by the EDS and PL spectrum.

This paper attempted to investigate the temperature characteristics and electrical conduction when low density polyethylene is irradiated. It was found that the log $\rho$ versus 1/T in irradiated polyethylene specimen resulted in different characteristics when it was heated upto above the melting point from when it was heated at the beginning stage. It was also found that the relation between the temperature and volume resistivity represented jumping phenomenon and that crystallization by thermal change was closely related to the fusion of crystalline region.

Clathrate compound is the material that host in hydrogen bond forms cage and guest is included into it and combined. Crystallization of hydrate is generated at higher temperature than that of ice from pure water. And physical properties according to temperature are stable and congruent melting phenomenon is occurred without phase separation. But clathrate compound still had supercooling problem occurred in the course of phase change and supercooling should be minimized because it affects efficiency of equipment very much. Therefore, various studies on additives to restrain this or heat storage methods are needed. In this study was investigated the cooling characteristics of the TMA-water clathrate compound including TMA (Tri-methyl-amine, $(CH_3)_3N)$ of 20${\sim}$25 wt% as a low temperature latent heat storage material. And ethanol$(CH_3CH_2OH)$ was added and its cooling characteristics were studied experimentally to restrain supercooling of TMA-water clathrate compound.
