In this study, a shape-stabilized phase change material (SSPCM) was prepared by octadecane and exfoliated graphite nanoplate (xGnP) in a vacuum, to improve thermal storage performance. The octadecane as an organic phase change material (PCM) is very stable against phase separation of PCM, and has the proper temperature range for thermal comfort in the building; and the xGnP is a porous carbon nano-material. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transformation infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR) were used to confirm the chemical and physical stability of the Ocatadecane/xGnP SSPCM. In addition, thermal properties were determined by Deferential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The specific heat of Octadecane/xGnP SSPCM was $14.1J/g{\cdot}K$ at $31.3^{\circ}C$. The melting temperature ranges of melting and freezing were found to be $26{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ and $26{\sim}19^{\circ}C$, respectively. At this time, the latent heats of melting and freezing were 110.9 J/g and 104.5 J/g, respectively. The Octadecane was impregnated into xGnP by as much as about 56.0% of the Octadecane/xGnP SSPCM's mass fraction.

Polyethylene(PE) films were photocrosslinked by continuous UV irradiation. Benzophenone addition as low as 1wt% into the PE film increased the gel fraction up to 96%. The photocrosslinking was attributed to the recombination of PE radicals generated upon UV irradiation, which was enhanced by the hydrogen abstraction of the added benzophenone. Also the crossliked PE showed higher thermal stability and decreased crystallinity with increasing UV energy as shown by TGA, XRD and DSC analysis. It was also possible to fix 5.4% octadecane into PE by the photocrosslinking. The crosslinked PE film containing octadecane showed lower tensile strength and modulus coupled with higher extension compared to that without octadecane, which can be used as a new plasticizing method for the crosslinked PE film.

Y 제올라이트로부터 합성한 메조 포러스 물질을 지지체로 사용한 백금 촉매를 n-octadecane의 수첨업그레이딩 반응을 통한 항공유 제조에 적용 하였다. Y 제올라이트를 골격 구성물질로 사용하여 메조 포러스 알루미노실리케이트($MMZ_{HY}$)를 합성 하였다. $Pt/MMZ_{HY}$ 촉매상에서 Mg 첨가가 n-octadecane의 수첨업그레이딩 반응에 미치는 영향을 고찰 하였다. 촉매의 특성은 X 선 회절, 질소 흡착, 승온환원, 암모니아승온탈착 및 흡착 피리딘 적외선 분광법으로 수행 하였다. 본 연구에서 Mg가 2 wt% 첨가된 $Pt/MMZ_{HY}$ 촉매가 가장 높은 항공유 수율을 보였는데, 이는 Mg의 첨가에 의해 Pt금속의 분산도와 환원도가 증가할 뿐만 아니라, 산점의 양과 세기가 증가하기 때문이다. 또한 $PtMg/MMZ_{HY}$ 촉매 상에서 이소 파라핀에 대한 선택도가 80 % 이상임을 확인하였다.

The preparation methods are to be used as "melting method" and "absorption method", respectively. The reaction mixture in the reaction container was heating up the reaction mixture to $200^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour. The mixing time of lab scale preparation should be provided quit long, instead of the short working time in a compounder vessel. And The PP-PCM mixture in the reaction container was heating up the mixture around $60-80^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour. A melting method of frozen gel with 50/50 weight ratio of polypropylene-normal octadecane was prepared by adding PP chip and normal octadecane. An absorption method of frozen gel with 70/30 weight ratio of PP 4.8-normal n-octadecane was prepared by adding PP powder and normal octadecnae.

To enhance heat transfer characteristics of water, micro-encapsulated octadecane of about $10{\mu}m$ diameter was added to water. Viscosity of the slurry was measured by using a capillary tube viscometer. The measured viscosity decreased as the temperature of the slurry increased, and it increased as the fraction of the capsules in the slurry increased. Thermal characteristics of the octadecane were studied by using a differential scanning calorimeter. The melting temperature and the melting energy of the octadecane were found to be $28.6^{\circ}$ and 34.4kcal/kg, respectively. The convective heat transfer characteristics of the slurry were investigated in a flow loop with a constant heat flux test section. Friction factor of the slurry flow was found to be similar to the expected curve by Petukhov. The Nusselt number of the slurry flow was highest when the octadecane melted. Effective thermal capacity of the 14.2% slurry was found to have 1.67 times of the thermal capacity of water.

For thermal adaptable fabrics, the polyurethane-urea microcapsules containing phase-change materials (PCMs: hexadecane, octadecane and eicosane) were successfully synthesized by interfacial polycondensation using 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG400)/ethylene diamine (EDA) as shell monomers and nonionic surfactant NP-12 in an emulsion system under stirring rates of $3,000{\sim}13,000$ rpm. The mean particle size of microcapsule decreased significantly with increasing the stirring rate up to 11,000 rpm, and then leveled off. The mean particle size increased with increasing the content and molecular weight (eicosane > octadecane > hexadecane) of PCMs at the same stirring rate. The mean particle sizes of microcapsules were found to decrease with increasing the NP-12 content up to 1.5 wt%, and thereafter increased a little. It was found that the melting temperature ($T_m$) and crystallization temperature ($T_c$) of three kinds of encapsulated PCMs and their enthalpy changes (${\Delta}H_m,{\Delta}H_c$) increased with increasing PCM contents. The encapsulation efficiencies (Ee) of hexadecane microcapsule linearly increased with increasing the content of hexadecane. It was found that the stable microcapsule containing 50 wt% of hexadecane could be obtained in this study. However, Ee of octadecane and eicosane microcapsules increased with increasing PCM's contents up to 40 wt%, and then decreased a little. By considering the encapsulation efficiency, it was found that the maximum/optimum contents of octadecane and eicosane microcapsules were about 40 wt%. By the dynamic thermal performance test, it was found that the maximum buffering levels of Nylon fabrics coated with hexadecane, octadecane, and eicosane microcapsules were about $-2.4/+2.9^{\circ}C,\;-3.6/+3.6^{\circ}C\;and\;-4.0/+4.7^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Several bacterial strains utilizing crude oil as their sole carbon and energy sources were isolated from marine. One of the strains named KCL-1 showed the highest degradative activity for crude oil and the best growth rate. This strain was identified as a Klebsiella sp. based on the morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics. The optimum cultural conditions were as follows; $32^{\circ}C$~$37^{\circ}C$ for temperature and 7.0 for initial pH. Additionally, the optimal concentration of sodium chloride was 3.0%, indicating that this strain was derived from seawater. KCL-1 could use several kinds of n-alkane hydrocarbons from octadecane to hexacosane as a sole carbon source. The degradation of crude oil by KCL-1 was stimulated by addition of octadecane in the culture. The emulsifying activity by KCL-1 was highest after 3 days of cultivation under the condition of 3.0% sodium chloride, pH 7.0 and $37^{\circ}C$.

Experimental and numerical analysis were performed to investigate the heat transfer phenomena during phase change. N-octadecane were used as a phase change material and TRUMP computer code was used as a numerical tool. Also, two quarter segment of cylinder shape was chosen as a vessel to simulate to this research. The major contribution factor on the solidus surface movement was environmental temperature and the effect of roller gap and material initial temperature were insignificant. Experimental and numerical results were generally in good agreement and the effect of the mesh size ($22{\times}22$ and $33{\times}33$) was negligible.

Optimum finishing position, thickness and phase change temperature of winter and summer season were selected and suitability of finishing materials was evaluated based on temperature measurement of specimens applying the coating material mixed phase change materials(PCM). As a result, when finishing position was interior and finishing thickness of coating material mixed n-Octadecane(28℃ PCM) was 4mm, thermal performance was effective. n-Octadecane in summer season and n-Hexadecane(18℃ PCM) in winter season are indicated effective on energy savings, respectively.

The secondary nitrogen donors of the Ni(II) complexes of macrotricyclic ligands 8-methyl-1,3,6,8,10,13,15-heptaazatricyclo $[13.1.1.1^{13,15}]$octadecane (A) and 1,3,6,9,11,14-hexaazatricyclo $[12.2.1.1^{6,9}]$octadecane (B) are N-alkylated and the Ni(II) complexes of $N-Me_2A,\;N-Et_2A,\;and\;N-Me_2B$ are obtained. The Ni(II) complexes of $N-Me_2A\;and\;N-Et_2A$ are stable in acidic aqueous solutions while that of $N-Me_2B$ decomposes relatively rapidly. The N-alkylation leads to the decrease in the ligand field strength as well as an anodic shift in both of the oxidation and the reduction potentials of the Ni(II) complexes.
