Nano-sized cobalt (II) oxide nanoparticles with a high crystallinity were synthesized using thermolysis of a $Co^{2+}$-oleate precursor at 310$^{\circ}C$. The phase and morphology of as-prepared cobalt oxide nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements. The cobalt oxide nanoparticles were found to be spherical nanoclusters with an average diameter of approximately 200 nm, consisting of tiny nanocrystals (10-20 nm). Furthermore, the Li electroactivites of the cobalt oxide nanoparticles were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling. The cobalt oxide nanoparticles could deliver high capacities over 420 mA h $g^{-1}$ at a C/5 current rate.

The effect of dimethyl maleate on the rate of thermolysis of 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzene-2-Diazo-1-Oxide in 1-chloronaphthalene at $130.2^{\circ}$ was investigated: In a separate experiment, the effect of dimethyl fumarate upon the same reaction at the same temperature was investigated. The rate of thermolysis was decreased by dimethyl maleate, while dimethyl fumarate accelerated the reaction. Some kinetic parameters of the thermolysis of 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzene-2-Diazo-1-Oxide were calculated. A mechanism of isomerization of dimethyl maleate to dimethyl fumarate by 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzene-2-Diazo-1-Oxide was proposed.

N-(Isopropyloxycarbonyloxy)maleimide (iPOCMI) has been synthesized and polymerized to give both the homopolymer and copolymers with substituted styrenes. These polymers were readily deprotected by thermolysis of the isopropyloxycarbonyl (iPOC) groups to provide the corresponding N-hydroxymaleimide (HOMI) polymers. The homopolymer and styrenic copolymers of iPOCMI were radically obtained in higher conversion and higher molecular weight than those obtained by direct polymerizations of N-hydroxymaleimide. The homopolymer of iPOCMI was transformed into poly(N-hydroxymaleimide)P(HOMI) by thermolysis of iPOC groups at 205 $^{\circ}C$ with concurrent release of propene and carbon dioxide. The copolymer of iPOCMI and styrene was thermally deprotected to the copolymer of HOMI and styrene at 235 $^{\circ}C.$ The mass loss was 28% and the Tg of the resulting copolymer was 250 $^{\circ}C.$ The thermal deprotection readily provided the desired, polar HOMI polymers which have Tgs above 240 $^{\circ}C.$ The deprotection was accompanied by large changes in aqueous base solubility.

The dynamics of gas release at thermal oxidation of extraction systems on the basis of diamides of dicarbonic acids in fluorinated sulphones with 14 mol/L $HNO_3$ was investigated. The effect of preirradiation of the mixtures with accelerated electrons on the kinetics of their thermolysis was determined. The mixtures were heated in an autoclave at temperatures of 170 and $200^{\circ}C$ and irradiated using an electron accelerator to absorbed doses of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 MGy. It has been shown that no conditions for autocatalytic oxidation at thermolysis of extraction mixtures irradiated up to a dose of 1 MGy were developed.

A novel strategy for the synthesis of $CoSb_2$ nanoparticles is demonstrated via preparation of novel organometallic complexes. Hydrated cobalt oleate (CoOl) and non-hydrated antimony oleate (SbOl) complexes are synthesized as precursors. The $CoSb_2$ nanoparticles are prepared by hot injection, which involves thermolysis of CoOl and SbOl in a non-coordinating solvent at $320^{\circ}C$. The coordination modes and distinct thermal behaviors of the intermediate non-hydrated SbOl complexes are comparatively investigated by thermo-analytical techniques. When the reaction temperature is increased, the particle size is found to increase linearly. The crystallinity of the $CoSb_2$ nanoparticles prepared at $250^{\circ}C$ is amorphous phase without any peaks. $CoSb_2$ structural peaks start to appear at $300^{\circ}C$ and dominant peaks with high crystallinity are synthesized at $320^{\circ}C$. The potential chemical structures of non-hydrated SbOl and their reaction mechanisms by thermolysis are elucidated. The elemental composition and crystallographic structure of $CoSb_2$ nanoparticles suggest a bimodal interaction of the organic shell and the nanoparticle surface, with a chemical absorbed inner layer and physically absorbed outer layer of carboxylic acid.

In the past few years, considerable efforts have been directed towards the further development of Urea-SCR(selective catalytic reduction) technique for diesel-driven vehicle. Although urea possesses considerable advantages over Ammonia$(NH_3)$ in terms of toxicity and handling, its necessary decomposition into Ammonia and carbon dioxide complicates the DeNOx process. Moreover, a mobile SCR system has only a short distance between engine exhaust and the catalyst entrance. Hence, this leads to not enough residence times of urea, and therefore evaporation and thermolysis cannot be completed at the catalyst entrance. This may cause high secondary emissions of Ammonia and isocyanic acid from the reducing agent and also leads to the fact that a considerable section of the catalyst may be misused for the purely thermal steps of water evaporation and thermolysis of urea. Hence the key factor to implementation of SCR technology on automobile is fast thermolysis, good mixing of Ammonia and gas, and reducing Ammonia slip. In this context, this study performs three-dimensional numerical simulation of urea injection of heavy-duty diesel engine under various injection pressure, injector locations and number of injector hole. This study employs Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to consider break-up, evaporation and heat and mass-transfer between droplet and exhaust gas with considering thermolysis and the turbulence dispersion effect of droplet. The SCR-monolith brick has been treated as porous medium. The effect of location and number of hole of urea injector on the uniformity of Ammonia concentration distribution and the amount of water at the entrance of SCR-monolith has been examined in detail under various injection pressures. The present results show useful guidelines for the optimum design of urea injector for reducing Ammonia slip and improving DeNOx performance.

Well difined sulfonated styrene and n-butyl acrylate (nBA) block copolymers were synthesized by CuBr catalyzed living radical polymerization followed by acification by thermolysis. Neopentyl styrene sulfonate (NSS) was polymerized with PnBA macroinitator precursor ($M_{n}=19,500,\;PDI\;<\;1.09$) and CuBr catalyst with N,N,N',N' -pentamethylethyleneamine (PMDETA) to give nBA-NSS block copolymer with narrow polydispersity ($M_{n}=29,900,\;PDI\;<\;1.15$). PNSS segments in the block copolymer were then acidified by thermolysis at $150^{\circ}C$ resulting in polystyrene segments with 100 % sulfonic acid groups.

Urea-SCR which is one of the aftertreatment technologies for reducing the NOx emission is widely used. An experimental study was performed to investigate urea decomposition under various thermo-fluid conditions, with different temperatures and velocities of inflow gas, and urea solution quantities. 40 wt. % aqueous urea solutions were used in this study. The inflow gas conditions were similar to the exhaust conditions of a large marine engine. The spray performance of urea solution injector was identical under all experimental conditions. The conversion efficiency of $NH_3$ was larger than that of HNCO under all experimental conditions, unlike for the theoretical thermolysis reaction.

A new binder system and debinding process for low carbon residue in the injection molding of Nd(Fe, Co)B powder are investigated. In the injection molding of magnetic materials, it is demanded to reduce carbon residue which deteriorates their magnetic properties. The binder system developed is composed of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and polypropylene (PP). PEG was selected as a major binder is component to be extracted in a molecular state by solvent extraction in ethanol, which step would leave no residue. PP was selected as a minor binder component to be subsequently removed by thermolysis which step would leave carbon residue. The behaviors of solvent extraction with the variations of PEG molecular weight, temperature, and time were examined. The dependency of residual carbon content on thermolysis atmosphere was also studied. Opened pore channels introduced in a green body by the solvent extraction and microstructures of the sintered magnets were observed using SEM.

In the neat flow vacuum pyrolysis of 2-methoxy-2-(o-N,N+dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-3-trimethylsilyl-5,5-dime-thyl-2-silahexane (4) at $600^{\circ}C$ and its static thermolysis at $350^{\circ}C23-benzo-5-aza-1-silacyclohexane$, (5) has been obtained in97% and 46％ y ields, respectively. Product 5 might have been formed via an intramolecular rearrangement invoIving a zwitterionic species generated from the pentacoordinated silene Si-atom. From trapping experiments with an excess of MeOH, we have obtained 2-(o-N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-2-trimethylsiloxy-2-silahexane (6) and 2-(o-N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-2-methoxy-5,5-dime-thyl-2-silahexane (7) formed via an intermolecular protodesilylation reaction rather than through trapped prod-ucts of the silene.
