Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM) fuel is emerging advanced fuel material for the future nuclear reactors. The fuel pellet in the FCM fuel is composed of matrix and a large number of TRistructural-ISOtopic (TRISO) fuel particles which are randomly dispersed in the SiC matrix. The minimum layer thickness in a TRISO fuel particle is on the order of 10^-5 m, and the length of the FCM pellet is on the order of 10^-2 m. Hence, the heat transfer in the FCM pellet is a multi-scale phenomenon. In this study, three multi-scale heat conduction models including the Multi-region Layered (ML) model, Multi-region Non-layered (MN) model and Homogeneous model for FCM pellet were constructed. In the ML model, the random distributed TRISO fuel particles and coating layers are completely built. While the TRISO fuel particles with coating layers are homogenized in the MN model and the whole fuel pellet is taken as the homogenous material in the Homogeneous model. Taking the results by the ML model as the benchmark, the abilities of the MN model and Homogenous model to predict the maximum and average temperature were discussed. It was found that the MN model and the Homogenous model greatly underestimate the temperature of TRISO fuel particles. The reason is mainly that the conventional equivalent thermal conductivity (ETC) models do not take the internal heat source into account and are not suitable for the TRISO fuel particle. Then the improved ETCs considering internal heat source were derived. With the improved ETCs, the MN model is able to capture the peak temperature as well as the average temperature at a wide range of the linear powers (165 W/cm~ 415 W/cm) and the packing fractions (20%-50%). With the improved ETCs, the Homogenous model is better to predict the average temperature at different linear powers and packing fractions, and able to predict the peak temperature at high packing fractions (45%-50%).

The lithium ion concentration dependant ionic conductivity and thermal properties of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA)/acrylonitrile-based copolymer electrolytes with $LiClO_4$ have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and AC complex impedance measurements. In systems with 11 wt% of acrylonitrile all liquid electrolytes were obtained regardless of lithium ion concentration. Complex impedance measurements with stainless steel electrodes give ambient ionic conductivities $8.1\times10^{-6}\sim1.4\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$. On the other hand, a hard and soft films at ambient temperature were obtained in copolymer electrolyte system consists of 15 wt% acrylonitrile with 6 : 1 and 3 : 1 of [EO] : [Li] ratio, respectively. DSC measurements indicate the crystalline melting temperature of poly(PEGMA) disappeared completely after addition of $LiClO_4$ in this system due to the complex formation between ethylene oxide (EO) unit and lithium salt. As a result, free standing film with room temperature ionic conductivity of $1.7\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$ and high electrochemical stability up to 5.5V was obtained by controlling of acrylonitrile and lithium salt concentration.

완충재는 고준위폐기물을 처분하기 위한 공학적방벽 시스템에서 중요한 구성요소 중 하나이다. 완충재는 처분공내 사용후핵연료가 담긴 처분용기와 암반사이에 채워지는 물질로써 고준위폐기물의 안전한 처분을 위해 필수적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. 완충재는 지하수 유입으로부터 처분용기를 보호하고, 방사성 핵종 유출을 저지한다. 처분용기로부터 발생하는 고온의 열량은 완충재로 전파되기에 완충재의 열물성은 처분시스템의 안전성 평가에 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 특히, 완충재의 설정온도는 고준위폐기물 처분시설의 설계에 큰 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 온도변화에 따른 국내 경주산 압축 벤토나이트 완충재에 대한 열물성을 규명하고자 하였다. 열선법과 이중 탐침법을 이용하여 온도변화에 따른 압축 벤토나이트 완충재의 열전도도와 비열을 측정하였다. $22^{\circ}C$와 $110^{\circ}C$ 구간에서는 온도 증가에 따라 포화도가 변화되기에 열전도도와 비열은 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 $110^{\circ}C$와 $150^{\circ}C$ 사이의 고온 구간에서는 열전도도와 비열의 추가 변화가 거의 발생하지 않았다.

Sintering, microstructure, thermal conductivity and microwave dielectric properties of xLiF-(1-x)MgO ceramics (x=0.03~0.10 mol) were investigated. The high density was obtained in the specimens of $x{\geq}0.06$, i.e., 0.04 LiF-0.96 MgO in mol, whereas the amount of 0.03 mol LiF was insufficient to densify. From the result that the contact flattening in the sintered specimen was observed, the densification occurred through the liquid-phase sintering. The specimen of x=0.06 showed the highest room-temperature thermal conductivity. Relative density, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant, and quality factor ($Q{\times}f$) of the specimen for x=0.06 sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 4 h were 97.8%, $39.2Wm^{-1}K^{-1}$, 9.45, and 14,671 GHz, respectively.

To improve mean-life and reliability of power cable, we have investigated volume resistivity and thermal conductivity showed by changing the content of acetylene black which is the component parts of semiconductive shield in underground power transmission cable. The sheets were primarily kneaded in their pellet form material samples for 5 minutes on rollers ranging between 70[$^{\circ}C$] and 100[$^{\circ}C$]. Then they were produced as sheets after pressing for 20 minutes at 180[$^{\circ}C$] with a pressure of 200[kg/cm]. The content of conductive acetylene black was the variable, and their contents were 20, 30 and 40[wt%], respectively. Volume resistivity of specimens was measured by volume resistivity meter after 10 minutes in the preheated oven of both $25\pm1[^{\circ}C]$ and $90\pm1[^{\circ}C]$. Thermal conductivity was measured by Nano Flash Diffusivity. The measurement temperatures of thermal conductivity using Nano Flash Diffusivity were both 25[$^{\circ}C$] and 55[$^{\circ}C$]. From these experimental results, volume resistivity was high according to an increase of the content of acetylene black. And thermal conductivity was increased to an increase of the content of acetylene black. And thermal conductivity were increased by heating rate because volume of materials was expanded according to rise in temperature.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) is used by the semiconductor industry, and is a compound that is required when manufacturing high thermal conductivity. The AlN films with c-axis orientation and thermal conductivity characteristic were deposited by using the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The AlN thin films were characterized by changing the deposition conditions. In particular, we have researched the AlN thin film deposited under optimal conditions for growth atmosphere. The epitaxial AlN films were grown on sapphire ($c-Al_2O_3$) single crystals by PLD with AlN target. The AlN films were deposited at a fixed temperature of $650^{\circ}C$, while conditions of nitrogen ($N_2$) pressure were varied between 0.1 mTorr and 10 mTorr. The quality of the AlN films was found to depend strongly on the $N_2$ partial pressure that was exerted during deposition. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the integrated intensity of the AlN (002) peak increases as a function the corresponding Full width at half maximum (FWHM) values decreases with lowering of the nitrogen partial pressure. We found that highly c-axis orientated AlN films can be deposited at a substrate temperature of $650^{\circ}C$ and a base pressure of $2{\times}10^{-7}Torr$ in the $N_2$ partial pressure of 0.1 mTorr. Also, it is noted that as the $N_2$ partial pressure decreased, the thermal conductivity increased.

내열 및 내유성 고무복합체 특성연구(The study on the thermal and oil resistance rubber composite), 2016.[6] 연구에서는 고온($150^{\circ}C$, $175^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$) 조건의 고온촉진노화를 통하여 불소고무 복합체의 수명을 예측하였다. 일반적인 고무제품은 온도, 습도, 오존, 빛, 유제, 기계 및 전기적 응력 등의 특성저하 인자에 따라 다른 특성을 나타낼 가능성이 있으며, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 "내열 및 내유성 고무복합체 특성연구"[6] 연구에서 얻어진 고온촉진노화에 의한 수명 예측값과 저온촉진노화간의 인장강도 변화율 및 신장률 변화율 그리고 부피 변화율, 무게 변화율, 두께 변화율 및 열전도도를 비교 검토하였다. 검토 결과, 요구 한계수명은 모두 만족하였지만 고온촉진노화 결과와 저온촉진노화 결과 간 변화율에서 약간의 격차를 보였다. 이러한 변화율 격차가 일어나는 원인은 고온촉진노화에서는 노화 시 불소고무의 주사슬 분해로 인하여 인장강도, 신장률 감소 및 부피, 무게, 두께 증가가 일어나는데 비해 저온촉진노화에서는 $80^{\circ}C$에서 불소고무의 지속적 경화반응으로 인하여 인장강도, 신장률 및 부피, 무게, 두께 변화가 적게 나타났을 것으로 판단된다.

$CoSb_3$ with its high electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and rather low thermal conductivity is quite a promising material for thermoelectric conversion applications. A potentially high figure of merit (ZT) can be achieved by a nanostructure evolution of thermoelectric materials. In this work, $CoSb_3$ nanoparticles were synthesized through a thermal decomposition method in cooperation with a hot injection technique. Nano-sized $CoSb_3$ particles were obtained through the thermal decomposition reaction between the pre-heated cobalt-oleate at $320^{\circ}C$ and the injected antimony oleate with room temperature. The results showed that the particle size was increased with increasing synthesis temperature and the crystallinity of particles was improved with temperature but the decomposition of $CoSb_3$ was observed at $320^{\circ}C$. The $CoSb_3$ particles synthesized at $300^{\circ}C$ showed a high purity and an homogeneous shape with average particle size of 26 nm.

Thermal conductivities in $La_2Ce_2O_7-Gd_2Ce_2O_7-Y_2Ce_2O_7$ ternary system have been investigated. Pyrochlore phases formed at all ternary compositions and their sinterbilities were decreased with La addition. Thermal conductivities showed a minimum value at $La_2Ce_2O_7$ with moderate increases as $Y^{3+}$ and $Gd^{3+}$ ions replaced $La^{3+}$. Thermal expansion anomaly observed in $La_2Ce_2O_7$, which might be detrimental to TBC application, were suppressed by $Y^{3+}$ and $Gd^{3+}$ additions, with resultant thermal conductivities, $1.3{\sim}1.5 W/mK$ at $1000^{\circ}C$.

The high heat resistant material for brake disc is required for higher speed trains. Although Aluminum is very expensive, it which has high thermal conductivity and low density has been adapted to high performance light-weight brake disc. In this study, we carry out the thermal stress analysis for suggested shape of Al hybrid brake disc which was designed to meet the optimal point between a performance and economic side. And we compare the results from the analysis to results of conventional disc at the same braking speed. The result show that the temperature on braking surface of Al hybrid disc is lower than the temperature on conventional disc surface, whereas the maximum thermal stress is larger than stress on conventional disc.
