Bamboo is one of the major biomass resources that have many advantages such as fast growing, easy cultivation, short rotation, and a relatively lower price. In this study, the anatomical characteristics of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) by age from one-year-old to five-year-old were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Also, the crystalline properties such as relative crystallinity and crystallite width were investigated by an X-ray diffraction method. In one-year-old bamboo xylem, a few vascular bundles showed missing bundle sheath in near the intercellular space. Moreover, one-year-old bamboo had the shortest fiber length and the smallest values in vessel diameter, width of vascular bundle, and thickness of inner layer. One-year-old bamboo also showed the smallest values in the crystallinity and crystallite width. Near epidermis samples had longer fiber length and greater vascular bundle spacing than near pith samples. Relative crystallinity and crystallite width near the epidermis were also higher than near the pith. This study revealed significant differences in qualitative and quantitative anatomical characteristics between one-year-old and two-year- or more old Moso bamboos. It is concluded that the structural differences by bamboo age can be used to differentiate the characteristics of juvenile and mature bamboo.

TLCP/polyester composite fibers (TPCFs) based on melt blends of PEN, PET, and TLCP were prepared by melt blending and spinning process to achieve high performance fibers. Reinforcement effect and TLCP fibrillar structure resulted in improvement of mechanical properties for TPCFs. The increase in the apparent crystallite size was attributed to the development of larger crystallites and more ordered crystalline structures in the annealed TPCFs. Molecular orientation was an important factor to determine mechanical property of TPCFs.

Nanocrystalline materials have been modeled as a mixture of the crystallite and the grain boundary phases. The mechanical property has been calculated using the rule of mixtures based on the volume fractions. The critical grain size concept suggested by Nieh and Wadsworth and porous material model suggested by Lee and Kim were applied to the calculation. The theoretical results fit very well with the experimental values

Segmented block copolyetheresters defined as copolymers having sequences of alternating polyester hard blocks and polyether soft blocks create labile physical cross-links upon crystallization of hard polyester blocks Since the nature of the physical interlocking is a crystallite formed exclusively from the crystallizable hard segment, the basic understanding of interrelationship between crystallization condition and phase morphology is very important for the property control of the segmented block copolyetheresters.

Segmented block copolyetheresters defined as copolymers having sequences of alternating polyester hard blocks and polyether soft blocks create labile physical cross-links upon crystallization of hard polyester blocks Since the nature of the physical interlocking is a crystallite formed exclusively from the crystallizable hard segment, the hard segment content (HSC) and hard segment length (HSL) will play an important role in determining the properties such as mechanical property and dynamic mechanical property.

The Cu55Ti45 system was effectively mechanically-alloyed using a pulverizer. Noncrystallinities of the powders were characterized by TEM, X-ray and DSC. The amorphous powders were consolidated without losing their noncrystallinities. The consolidating conditions keeping a non-crystalline were obtained by building a TTT diagram of the amorphous powders. The microhardness of the crystallite and bulk amorphous alloys are also compared.

Interactions between PET POY and solvents were estimated by the changes in microstructure and surface morphology. Changes in microstructure and surface morphology by the solvent treatments were: an increase in crystallite size, a decrease in interplanar spacing, a change in degree of orientation of crystalline region, a change in surface characteristics.

Cellulose(cell)/dimethylacetamide(DMAc)/lithium chloride(LiCl) solutions were prepared and spun to fibers in coagulants. Then, obtained fibers were annealed in appropriate chemicals. The fibers from cell/DMAc/LiCl showed cell III morophology prior to annealing without differenciating the kind of coagulants. Morphology of crystallite, however, was affected by annealing. Annealed fibers at 17$0^{\circ}C$ showed cell IV morphology and had better mechanical properties than others.

$SnO_2$ powders were prepared from the calcination of stannic acids precipitated from the aqueous solution of $SnCl_4$ with ammonium nitrate as a precipitator at $90^{\circ}C$. For the comparison of properties, the stannic acids were prepared from the homogeneous precipitation method using urea as a precipitator at the same temperature. The stannic acid from ammonium nitrate at a thermal gravity analysis showed the weight loss until $700^{\circ}C$ and the percentage of total weight loss was 16.5%. The crystallization of stannic acid into $SnO_2$ finished in the calcination at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The crystallite size of $SnO_2$ increased with the increase of calcination temperature and initial concentration of $SnCl_4$ solution. In case of the same calcination condition, $SnO_2$ prepared from homogeneous precipitation using urea had a relatively smaller crystallite size rather than $SnO_2$ prepared from ammonium nitrate.
