A diffusion heat treatment process for YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y bulk superconductor in a Gd₂O₃ powder was attempted. As a result of measuring the critical temperature of the superconducting bulk, there was no change in the superconducting transition temperature as the Gd particles diffused into the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y lattice, resulting in dense microstructure. As a result of measuring the critical current, the critical current density (J_c) of the superconducting bulk having treated by the Gd thermal diffusion treatment at 0 T increased to 3×10⁴ A/cm² at 0 T, which was higher than that of the superconducting bulk without thermal diffusion treatment. The surface magnetic force of the superconducting bulk with Gd thermal diffusion treatment was observed at the center of the superconducting bulk with the maximum trapped magnetic force (Hmax) of 1.51 kG. This result means that the Gd thermal diffusion treatment contributes to improving the critical current density Jc of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y, and it is believed that Gd particles migrating into the superconducting bulk through thermal diffusion either fill the surface pores of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductors or act as a flux pinning center.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube/polystyrene (MWCNT/PS) composites with various MWCNT contents were prepared by using a solution process with an aid of surfactant. Particularly, PS's with 3 different molecular weights (${\bar{M}}_n$ = 101500 g/mole for PS-1, ${\bar{M}}_n$ = 89900 g/mole for PS-2, and ${\bar{M}}_n$ = 85000 g/mole for PS-3) were used in this study. Thermal behavior of these composites was examined by using an oscillator rheometer at $210^{\circ}C$ and $180^{\circ}C$, of above and below the critical flow temperature ($T_{cf}{\sim}195^{\circ}C$) of PS matrix, respectively. The storage and loss modulus, and the complex viscosity of these composites increased with increasing MWCNT content at both temperatures. Largest increases in the frequency-dependent moduli and complex viscosity were observed between 2 wt% and 5 wt% of MWCNTs at $210^{\circ}C$ and $180^{\circ}C$. Only the composite at $210^{\circ}C$ showed the rheological phase transition from a viscous-dominant to an elastic-dominant behavior of the composites at a certain MWCNT content. The MWCNT content at the rheological phase transition of MWCNT/PS composites generally increased with decreasing molecular weight of PS, and was measured to be 3.5 wt% for MWCNT/PS-1, 3.2 wt% for MWCNT/PS-2, and 3.0 wt% for MWCNT/PS-3 composites.

[ ${\gamm}-Glycidoxy$ ] propyl trimethoxy silane, CTBN rubber(carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile rubber) and GMA(glycidyl methacrylate) were reacted on the surface of silica one by one in existence of TEA(triethylamine) or BPO(benzoyl peroxide). The amount of reactant was $2.5{\sim}5.8%$ of treated silica weight. The treated silica was mixed with epoxy resin and MTHPA(methyl tetrahydro phthalic anhydride) in the range of $0{\sim}60%$(wt.%) of total component. The thermal properties were tested for cured products. By using silica treated with silane/rubber or silane/rubber/vinyl, comparing with 3% of rubber mixed directly, it had 13% higher $T_g$ and 10% lower thermal expansion coefficient at $35{\sim}55%$ of silica contents.

Epoxy coatings cured by different amine based curing agents have been prepared. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to monitor the surface topology changes of epoxy coatings before and after hygrothermal cyclic test. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the epoxy coating were measured by Thermo-mechanical Analysis (TMA). The Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with hygrothermal cyclic test has been introduced to evaluate the corrosion protection of the epoxy coatings. In conclusion, thermal properties of epoxy coatings were in good agreement with the results of corrosion protection of epoxy coated carbon steel obtained result by EIS with hygrothermal cyclic test. The relationship between thermal properties, surface roughness changes and corrosion protection of epoxy coatings are discussed in this study.

In this paper, development of Thermal Printer Head(TPH) controller by using gate array having high reliability and good performance is proposed. Over the 3000 gates are performed to control print image data signals and relative peripheral hardwares. The proposed gate array has TPH control circuit, print control and step motor drive, and print image data control, decoder output control parts. This TPH controller will be a good application to FAX or label printer and barcode printers.

Analysis of non-integer order thermoelastic temperature distribution and it's thermal deflection of thin hollow circular disk under the axi-symmetric heat supply is investigated. Initially, the disk is kept at zero temperature. For t > 0 the parametric surfaces are thermally insulated and axi-symmetric heat supply on the thickness of the disk. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by integral transform technique, including Mittag-Leffler function. The results have been computed numerically and illustrated graphically with the help of PTC-Mathcad.

The evolution of conformational constraints in bisphenol-A polycarbonate (BAPC) upon quiescent bulk crystallization was quantitatively analyzed from calorimetric study employing a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) as an indicator of the level of conformational constraints. From the correlation between corrected crystallinity (X$\sub$c/) and total rigid fraction (f$\sub$r/), it was found that, regardless of molar mass distribution and thermal treatment conditions, semicrystalline BAPC always exhibits greater f$\sub$r/ than X$\sub$c/ maintaining a quantitative relationship of f$\sub$r/〓2X$\sub$c/ in the range of 0.0 $\sub$c/< 0.4. This directly indicates the evolution of approximately the same amount of RAF as X$\sub$c/, (i.e., RAF〓X$\sub$c/) upon bulk crystallization of BAPC. It was also found that T$\sub$g/ per se and T$\sub$g/ broadening enhance as RAF increases, and there appears to be a critical level of RAF (>0.2) needed to initiate significant changes in both quantities.

Poly(1, 4-cyclohexanedimethylene/ethylene terephthalate), PCET was prepared by condensing 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol(CHDM) and ethylene glycol with dimethylterephthalate(DMT), and some thermal properties of PCET were studied by DSC at a heating rate $20^{\circ}C$min. On increasing the CHDM content in PCET up to 20 mole%/DMT, the glass transition temperature(Tg) decreased a little and the crystallizability reduced sharply, and from 20 to 50 mole %/DMT the $T_g$ did not changed and the crystallization temperature was not detected. But on increasing the CHDM content above 70 mole %/DMT the TEX>$T_g$/ and the melting temperature increased.
