This study was aimed at improving the white index (WI) to prepare thermally expandable microspheres for wallpaper. In particular, thermally expandable microspheres were prepared for different colloidal silica particle sizes to study thermal properties, foaming ratio, and WI. The spheres obtained from tiny colloidal silica were the best in terms of WI and yellowing. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis results show that small colloidal silica particles are more likely to be adsorbed physically or chemically to the microsphere surface, thereby improving WI at higher temperatures.

Hydrotalcite, layered double hydroxides (LDH), with hexagonal morphology has been rapidly synthesized by microwave reaction within 1 hour by urea hydrolysis from homogeneous solution. Different synthesis parameters, Mg/Al molar ratio, microwave reaction temperature and microwave power were systematically investigated. Pure hydrotalcite phase was obtained for Mg/Al ratios of 2:1 and 3:1, and higher reaction temperature gave higher crystallinity. The hydrotalcite synthesized at 600W power shows the highest crystallinity and more homogeneous crystal size distribution. The hydrotalcite samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Scanning electron micrograph (SEM).

A series of polyesteramides with randomly introduced ester/amide group ratio of 50/50 were newly synthesized by reacting terephthaloyl chloride, isophthaloyl chloride and sebacoyl chloride with tyramine and tyrosine. The polymerization was carried out by interfacial polymerization in two phase solvent systems, which gave various polyesteramides with moderate molecular weights in good yields. The chemical structures of the polymers were confirmed by $^1$H NMR, IR and elemental analysis. Tyrosine based polyesteramide was degraded thermally around 29$0^{\circ}C$ to give the polyesteramide, which was obtainable from tyramine. Thermal stability and degradation behaviors were examined by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analyses.

In order to improve incombustibility of EPDM(Ethylene propylene diene monomer)-based rubber, inorganic materials as $Al(OH)_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$ were added. The mechanical and thermal properties have been measured for vulcanized rubber loaded with different concentrations of $Al(OH)_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$. As inorganic material contents increases from 5phr to 30phr, the specific gravity and hardness increase while elongation at break decreases. This study performed incombustibility test and thermal analysis through TGA(Thermogravimetric Analyzer). As a results, incombustible and thermal properties of EPDM-based rubber were improved as $Al(OH)_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$ contents increase.

Cellulose fibers were stabilized by treatment with an electron-beam (E-beam). The properties of the stabilized fibers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The E-beam-stabilized cellulose fibers were carbonized in N₂ gas at 800℃ for 1 h, and their carbonization yields were measured. The structure of the cellulose fibers was determined to have changed to hemicellulose and cross-linked cellulose as a result of the E-beam stabilization. The hemicellulose decreased the initial decomposition temperature, and the cross-linked bonds increased the carbonization yield of the cellulose fibers. Increasing the absorbed E-beam dose to 1500 kGy increased the carbonization yield of the cellulose-based carbon fiber by 27.5% upon exposure compared to untreated cellulose fibers.

Thermal degradation of Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR), which is used for O-ring material as elastomeric sealed diaphragm value in the nuclear power plants, is examined. The thermal degradation is accelerated at 130$^{\circ}C$ by Arrhenius exploit method using the activation energy calculated by thermogravimetric analysis. The weight loss temperature and glass transition temperature are verified for thermally aged NBR. The relationship between dynamic mechanical properties and elongation at break are also investigated. The threshold alue of thermally aged NBR is a ten year in the change of elongation at break.

We synthesized a new copoly (PM4Ch-ChMA) copoly(poly(4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-cholesteryl methacrylate) having chalconyl and cholesteryl moiety for homeotropic liquid crystal(LC) alignment. Pretilt angles of nematic(N) LC generated by linearly polarized UV exposure on the copolymer surfaces were investigated. Good thermal stabilities of the synthesized copolymer were obtained by TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) measurement. Pretilt angles of the NLC decreased with increasing UV exposure time on the copolymer surfaces. We consider that the pretilt angle of the NLC is attributed to increased chalcone by increased UV exposure time. High pretilt angle of the NLC is attributed to increased chalcone by increased UV exposure time. High pretilt angle of 81$^{\circ}$was observed after the UV exposure for 3 min.

Synthesis of a new copoly (M4Ch-ChMA), copoly ((4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-cholestery methacrylate), with chalconyl and cholesteryl moiety characteristics for photoalignment materials was investigated. Good thermal stabilities of the synthesized copolymers are confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement. The pretilt angles of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) are reduced as UV exposure time is increased on the copolymer surfaces. A pretilt angle of 81$^{\circ}$ in NLC was observed with UV exposure of 3 min on the copolymer-3 surface. The NLCs pretilt angle is attributable to increased chalcone with increasing the UV exposure time.

In order to develop the nano-sized WC powder that improved the hardness of hardmetals, carbothermal reduction of WO3 by C was examined by using the thermogravimetric analysis. At the direct carburization reaction path of $WO_3{\rightarrow}WO_{2.72}{\rightarrow}WO_2{\rightarrow}W{\rightarrow}W_2C{\rightarrow}WC$, the nano-sized grain was generated at the reaction stage $WO_{2.72}$ to $WO_2$ and W. For trial production, the intermediate products which consists of metal and carbide phases obtained by the first heating has been carburized to the final WC powder. We succeeded in the development of the WC powder of about 70nm. In addition, the nano-sized WC powder in which the vanadium of the most effective grain growth inhibitor was uniformly dispersed was developed.

Recently, imprint lithography have received significant attention due to an alternative technology for photolithography on high performance microelectronic devices. In this work, we investigated thermal stabilities and dynamic mechanical properties of dielectric materials for thermal imprint lithography. Curing behaviours, thermal stabilities, and dynamic mechanical properties of the dielectric materials cured with various curing agent and spherical filler were studied using dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), rheometer and universal test machine(UTM).
