In this study, the electroless nickel plating method has been investigated for the coating of Ni nanoparticles onto fine Al powder as promising energetic materials. The adsorption of nickel nanoparticles onto the surface of Al powders has been studied by varying various process parameters, namely, the amounts of reducing agent, complexing agent, and pH-controller. The size of nickel nanoparticles synthesized in the process has been optimized to approximately 200 nm and they have been adsorbed on the Al powder. TGA results clearly show that the temperature at which oxidation of Al mainly occurs is lowered as the amount of Ni nanoparticles on the Al surface increases. Furthermore, the Ni-plated Al powders prepared for all conditions show improved exothermic reaction due to the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) between Ni and Al. Therefore, Al powders fully coated by Ni nanoparticles show the highest exothermic reactivity: this demonstrates the efficiency of Ni coating in improving the energetic properties of Al powders.

Zirconium carbide was prepared from the mixture of metal zirconium and carbon powders in argon atmosphere by Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) in order to obtain the best carbon source and dilution contents. The most exellent result was obtained in the case that active carbon was added as a starting material, 20~30 wt% dilution content. From thermal profile analysis an apparent activation energy of 118 KJ/mol was calculated. The maximum heating rate achieved during 15 wt% ZrC reaction by product dilution method was approximately 1.54$\times$105 K/s. Coupling this value with the measured wave velocity of 1.026cm/s yielded a maximum thermal gradient fo $1.5\times$105 K/cm. Using the definition of t* and the measured wave velocity, the effective thermal diffusivity, $\alpha$, was calculated to be 0.62$\times$102 $\textrm{cm}^2$/s.

$BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}:Eu^{2+}$ for PDP blue phosphor was synthesized using SHS(Self-propagating High temperature Synthesis) method. While Al metal powder was oxidized in this combustion, $Eu_{2}O_3$ was reduced to Eu2+. Therefore the mole ratio of $Al/Al_{2}O_3$ is one of the most important variable of the reaction. When $Al/Al_{2}O_3$ is 2.5/3.75, it has not only appropriate temperature and reaction velocity, but also excellent luminescent property. The sample synthesized in this system has similar characteristics comparing to sample using conventional solid-state reaction.

탄화규소(SiC)가 도포된 핵연료 제조를 위해 고온 연소 합성법(Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis, SHS)이 적용되었으며, 반응물로 규소(Si) 분말, 규소 박막 (Si-thin film), 흑연 분말과 카본(C) 화이버가 사용되었다. 규소 박막은 프라즈마가 강화된 화학증착법(a microwave pulsed electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition)으로 준비되었다. 그 결과 규소와 탄소의 고온 연소 합성반응 생성물은 반응물이 분말이거나 박막에 관계없이. 탄화규소(SiC)가 합성되었으며, 생성물의 형상(morphology)은 초기 탄소의 형상에 의존하였다. 본 연구를 통해 고온 연소 합성법이 탄화규소와 탄소가 도포된 핵연료 제조에 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Ultra-fine $\beta$-SiC powders were fabricated by self-propagating high temperature synthesis process (SHS) using microwave oven. The flexural strength, fracture toughness, and hardness of hot pressed sample at 200$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min using synthesized SiC powders, which had 2 wt% of Al2O3 and 2.5 wt% of B4C content, showed 438 MPa, 4.15MPa.m1/2 and 28 GPa, respectively. The highest strength, fracture toughness, and hardness of composites containing 4wt% of Al2O3, which had highest relative density of 99.9%, showed 458 MPa, 4.6MPa.m1/2 and 36.2 GPa, respectively.

본 연구에서는 TiAl 금속간 화합물을 자전 고온 반응법을 이용하여 제조시 반응과정을 열시차 분석 방법으로 분석하였다. 합금 조성은 Ti-45at% Al, 53at%Al, 알루미늄 분말 크기, 승온 속도, 성형 밀도 등을 변화시켜 이들이 반응 과정에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 분말이 미세할수록, 승온속도가 느릴수록, 성형 밀도가 낮을수록 반응 점화 온도 및 연소 온도가 감소하였으며, 고상 Ti와 고상 Al간의 반응정도가 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 고상 Ti와 고상 Al간의 반응에서 생성되는 것은 XRD 분석 결과 Ti$Al_{3}$상으로 확인되었다. 이에 비하여 반응 점화 온도가 알루미늄의 용융 온도보가 높을 경우에는 생성되는 상이 $Ti_{3}$Al, TiAl상으로 확인되었다. 이러한 상의 생성 원인에 대하여 확산 계수 및 알루미늄의 용해도등의 요인으로 설명하였다.

Silicon carbide powder was prepared from mixtures of Sangdong silica sand and carbon black by SHS (Self propagating High temperature Synthesis) method which utilizes magnesiothermic reduction of silica. In the powder preparation process, the reacted powder was leached by chloric acid to remove the magnesium oxide and was subsequently roasted to remove free carbon. The impurities were mostly eliminated by hot acid treatment. The resultant SiC powder showed the mean particle size of 0.22 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the specific surface area of $66.55 m^2/g$. The SiC powder was mixed with 1 wt% of boron and of carbon to increase densification rate. The mixed powder was pressed and sintered pressurelessly at $2100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in argon gas. The sintered body showed the hardness of $2550 kg{\cdot}f/mm^2$ and the fracture toughness, KIC of $3.47 MN/m^{3/2}$.

Ti-C-Ni 혼합분말을 이용하여 SHS 공정에 의해 TiC-Ni 복합체를 제조하였으며, 리칭(leaching) 공정을 통하여 Ni을 제거함으로써 TiC 분말을 얻었다. TiC 분말의 특성분석을 위하여 XRD, SEM, TEM, AES 등을 사용하였다. 리칭 공정에 의해 얻어진 TiC 분말은 구형을 유지하고 있으며, 평균 입자크기는 0.4$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 구형 TiC 분말을 다시 Ni 분말과 혼합하여 소결한 후 특성을 분석하였다. 140$0^{\circ}C$에서 소결하였을 때 TiC 입자는 구형에서 각진 형태로 변화하였다. 기계적 특성결과 상용 TiC 분말을 사용하였을 때보다 SHS 공정에 의해 제조된 TiC 분말을 사용하여 소결하였을 경우 파괴 인성값이 약 20% 증가하였다.

Compacts were prepared using the SHS(Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis) method and nitrided at temperatures range from 145$0^{\circ}C$ to 175$0^{\circ}C$, and pressed at 180$0^{\circ}C$ under N2 atmosphere. The samples were characterized for bulk density, porosity, pore size and distribution, phase composition, microstructure and fracture toughness. Compacts were composed of whiskers, which showed a good candidate for the composite materials. The major phases of the compacts nitrided at 175$0^{\circ}C$ and pressed at 180$0^{\circ}C$ were 15R-sialon with a large aspect ratio.
