The yttria doped ceria (YDC) thin films were fabricated by electrochemical vapor deposition on the porous $\alpha$-Al2O3 substrate. The growth rates of the films obeyed a parabolic rate law, which constant was 259.0 $m^2$/hr at 120$0^{\circ}C$. As deposition temperature (above 110$0^{\circ}C$) increased, dense thin films were enhanced. Mole fraction of XYC13 had an effect upon surface morphologies. Electrical conductivity was increased with deposition temperature. The conductivity of YDC film prepared at XYC13=7.9$\times$10-2 was about 0.097 S/cm at 104$0^{\circ}C$ and the activation energy of conduction was calculated to be 26.6 kcal/mol.

The recovery posibility of granular sludge inactivated due to high organic loading at stawrt-up stage of UASB reactors was examined at various storage periods while kept at a constant temperature of $35^{\circ}C$. It was noticed that the inactivated sludge kept without feeding recovered microbial activity much faster than that kept with continuous feeding. The activity of the sludge gradually recovered to the point where the organic removal rate of 0.15g of 0.15g COD/g VSS-day at the inactivated stage had changed to 0.36g COD/g VSS-day after 60 days of storage without feeding, which was similar to the active granular sludge activity of 0.38g COD/g VSS-day. There was no significant different in the characteristics of activity recovery between granular sludge and smashed sludge.

In this study, the potential use of indigenous natural loess(Hwangtoh) as a new construction material, via alkali activation in conjunction with microwave heating, was investigated. Hwangtoh pastes with three different mix proportions of varying alkali liquid concentrations at a constant liquid-to-Hwangtoh ratio of 0.55 were prepared. Through the investigation it was found that it is possible to prepare Hwangtoh paste with $19.02N/mm^2$ at the age of 4 hours with the alkali solution of 8M NaOH and 1:4.5 mass ratio of liquefied $Na_2SiO_3$ at the curing temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ by microwave heating. The strength development at early age of the alkali activated Hwangtoh paste specimens may be attributed to both a higher rate of reaction and moisture evaporation due to microwave heating.

Kinetic studies of the reaction of Z-aryl cyclopropanecarboxylates with X-pyridines in acetonitrile at 55.0 ℃ have been carried out. The reaction proceeds by a stepwise mechanism in which the rate-determining step is the breakdown of the zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate, $T^{\pm}$. These mechanistic conclusions are drawn base on (i) the large magnitude of ρx and ρz, (ii) the positive sign of ρxz and the larger magnitude of ρxz than normal $S_N2$ processes, (iii) a small positive enthalpy of activation, Δ$H^≠$, and a large negative, Δ$S^≠$, and lastly (iv) adherence to the reactivity-selectivity principle (RSP) in all cases.

The cure behaviors, dielectric characteristics and fracture toughness of diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blend system were investigated. The degree of conversion for the DGEBA/PET blend system was measured using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The cure kinetics were investigated by measuring the cure activation energies ($E_a$) with dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The dielectric characteristic was examined by dielectric analysis (DEA). The mechanical properties were investigated by measuring the critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$), critical strain energy release rate ($G_{IC}$), and impact strength test. As a result, DGEBAIPET was successfully blended. The Ea of the blend system was increased with increasing PET content to a maximum at 10 phr PET. The dielectric constant was decreased with increasing PET content. The mechanical properties of the blend system were also superior to those of the neat DGEBA. These results were attributed to the increased cross-linking density of the blend system, resulting from the interaction between the epoxy group of DGEBA and the carboxyl group of PET.

Substituent effects of substrate and nucleophile for the reaction of substituted phenacyl tosylates with pyridines were determined conductometrically in acetonitrile. Activation parameters for these reactions were also calculated. The substituent effects in nucleophile were increased with electron-donating power of pyridines and Br${\o}$nsted linear relationship was shown. Rate constant was increased by both electron-donating and electron-attracting groups in the substrate. It seems that dissociative S$_{N}$2 ("loose" transition state) mechanism is operating in the case of electron-donating substituents while associative S$_{N}$2 ("tight" transition state) mechanism is operative in the case of electron-attracting substituents.

The investigation of cure kinetics of biphenyl epoxy (4,4-diglycidyloxy-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl biphenyl)-xylok resin system with four different catalysts was performed by differential scanning calorimeter using an isothermal approach. All kinetic parameters of the curing reaction including the reaction order, activation energy and rate constant were calculated and reported. The results indicate that the curing reaction of the formulations using triphenylphosphine (TPP) and 1-benzyl-2-methylimidazole (1B2MI) as a catalyst proceeds through a first order kinetic mechanism, whereas that of the formulations using diazabicyloundecene (DBU) and tetraphenyl phosphonium tetraphenyl borate (TPP-TPB) proceeds by an autocatalytic kinetic mechanism. To describe the cure reaction in the latter stage, we have used the semiempirical relationship proposed by Chern and Poehlein. By combining an nth order kinetic model or an autocatalytic model with a diffusion factor, it is possible to predict the cure kinetics of each catalytic system over the whole range of conversion.

The crystallization kinetics of $Fe_{73.5}Si_{13.5}B_{9}Cu_{1}Nb_{3}$ amorphous alloy has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystallization process had two stages, i.e. precipitation of the $\alpha$-Fe(Si) solid solution and the tetragonal borides. The isothermal transformation data of the amorphous alloy has been fitted successfully to the generalized Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation. The mean time exponent, n, obtained is close to 2.5. The value of n=2.5 may be interpreted as being due to a diffusion-controlled transformation process with a constant nucleation rate, one likely transformation mode for the crystallization of metallic amorphous alloys. The activation energy of the overall crystallization process deduced from the time to 50% crystallization are about 81 kcal/mole. The value is of the same order as those estimated from viscous flow.

Zirconia films stabilized b $Y_2O_3$, YSZ, films were deposition by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) onto various kind of substrates. $Y_2O_3$, $ZrO_2$and the mixtures of these two were deposited and characterized. The deposition rate, the film composition and the structure could be systematically varied through the $Y(C_{11}H_{19}O_2)_3$, Zr(O.t-$C_H_9)_4$source gas ratios and the deposition temperature. The Y/Zr ratio in YSZ film could be adjusted by controlling the ratio of $Y(C_{11}H_{19}O_2)_3$, Zr(O.t-$C_4H_9)_4$partial pressures. This is because the ratios of the deposition rates of Y and Zr atoms in $Y_2O_3$and $ZrO_2$films to those in YSZ films, Ф, are constant irrespective of the input gas concentration. However, the Y/Zr ratio was found to be smaller than that estimated based on the deposition rates of un-mixed $Y_2O_3$and $ZrO_2$films. This is because the Фs of Y and Zr atoms are not equal. The activation energy of $Y_2O_3$component in YSZ films was similar to that of $ZrO_2$component in YSZ films. These YSZ values were more than 4 times larger than those of un-mixed $Y_2O_3$or $ZrO_2$films.

The effects of Ag addition to Zr-based hydrogen storage alloys ($Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}$, $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Cr_{0.1}$ and $Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Fe_{0.1}$) on the electrode properties were examined. Ag-free and Ag-added Ze-based alloys were prepared by arc melting, crushed mechanically, and subjected to the electrochemical measurement. In $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}$ alloy, 0.08 wt% Ag addition to the alloy improved the activation rate. Also Ag addition improved both activation property and discharge capacity in $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Cr_{0.1}$. For these Ag-added alloys, discharge capacities with the change of charge-discharge current density(10mA, 15mA and 30mA) are almost constant. Showing very high rate capability, discharge capacity of $Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Fe_{0.1}$ alloy increased by Ag addition to the alloy. When the amount of Ag addition in $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}$ alloy increased too much, the electrode properties became worse. Unveiling mechanism of effect of Ag addition is now progressing in our laboratory.
