Reduced graphite oxides (rGOs) were prepared by the common graphite oxidation method and the subsequent reductions. The reduction of graphite oxides (GOs) was conducted chemically and/or thermally. To further reduce the as-prepared rGOs, GOs were treated with chemical/thermal reductions or thermal/chemical reductions, in which the reduction sequence was also considered. The structural changes of as-prepared rGOs, depending on reduction methods, were investigated by X-ray diffraction analyses, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, we discuss the structural change of the rGOs and their closely related physical and electrical properties, such as thermogravimetry, nitrogen adsorption isotherm, and sheet resistance.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) nanocomposites were prepared with a novel method utilizing a macroazoinitiator (MAI). To induce the intergallery polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), the MAI containing a po1y(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segment was intercalated between the lamellae of Na-MMT and swelled with water to enhance the diffusion of MMA into the gallery. The structure of the nanocomposite was examined using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the thermal properties were examined using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. The PMMA/Na-MMT nanocomposite prepared by intergallery polymerization showed a distinct enhancement of its thermal properties; an approximately $30^{\circ}C$ increase in its glass transition temperature and an $80\sim100^{\circ}C$ increase in its thermal decomposition temperature for a $10\%$ weight loss.

The kinetics of the dehydration of Ha-dong kaolin was studied isothermally at various temperatures. Dehydration rate was measured by thermogravimetry method in the temperature range of 440~50$0^{\circ}C$ and the particle size range of 170~325mesh. The general equation f($\alpha$)=kt, where $\alpha$ is the fraction reacted in the time and the function f($\alpha$) depends on the reaction mechanism, was applied to this reaction. The function, f($\alpha$) was obtained by application of reduced-time plot and plot of lnln (1-$\alpha$) vs. ln (time), and expressed as (1-$\alpha$) ln (1-$\alpha$)+$\alpha$=kt. The dehydration followed the diffusion-controlled reaction model and gave activation energy of 30Kcal/mole.

Hydraulic properties of CA2-based clinker synthesized by Hydration-Burning Method was studied by calorimetry, analysis of suspension, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Hydraulic properties of the clinker was so activated that heat of hydration of the clinker evolved faster than that of CA synthesized by conventional method. In suspension of W/C=33, dissolution of the clinker began at nearly same time as that of CA, but precipitation of AH3 and rise of [OH-] occurred fairly faster in the suspension of the clinker than that of CA. From the beginning of hydration, AH3 was produced and became a main phase of the hydrate with minor phase of CAH10 and C2AH8, but C3AH6 was not produced at ambient temperature.

The thermal degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isophthalate)s (PETIs) is investigated by using isothermal thermogravimetric analysis at the temperature range of 280-31$0^{\circ}C$. The degradation rate of PETIs is increased as the mole ratio of ethylene isophthaloyl (EI) units in PETIs increases. The activation energies for the thermal degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate), PETI(5/5), and poly(ethylene isophthalate) are 33.4, 16.6, and 8.9 kcal/mole, respectively. The degradation rate of PETIs is influenced by their volatile cyclic oligomer components formed during the polymerization and the thermal degradation. It is simulated by the rotational isomeric state model that the content of cyclic dimer in PETIs, which is the most volatile cyclic oligomer component, increases with the EI units in PETIs.

To fabricate a hydrocarbon polymer electrolyte composite membrane incorporated with Pt nanoparticle, the polymer electrolyte membrane made of a sulfonated-fluorinated hydrophilic-hydrophobic block copolymer (SFBC) and sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) blend in the wight ratio of 1 : 1 was synthesized, and a simple drying process was used in order to incorporate Pt nanoparticle into the SFBC/SPEEK film by reducing platinum (II) bis (acetylacetonate), Pt $(acac)_2$. The distribution of the Pt nanoparticles was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and mechanical and thermal properties were tested by universal testing machine (UTM) and thermogravimetry analyzer (TGA). Cation conductivity, ion exchange capacity (IEC) and I-V characteristics were estimated.

The thin films are fabricated by VDPM and its heat resistant characteristics are investigated using Thermogravimetry. About polyimide, there is a wide difference between 5% weight loss temperature of TG curve and 20,000hr. of life time by methode of ASTM D2307. Therefore, TGI can be obtained by thermogravimetric analysis of NEMA std. pub. NOREI-1974. The TGI was got 670, 674 and 585 at 20$^{\circ}C$, 40$^{\circ}C$ and 70$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

A laboratory scale thermogravimetric analyser was developed to investigate the combustion characteristics of selected solid fuel(wood) in the highly preheated air. The aims are to introduce in the means of experimental determination of the solid fuel particle characteristics through the combustion process in the environment of highly preheated air. A nearly single particle combustion condition was reproduced in a thermogravimetric analyser and regenerating combustor. For a fuel particle whose characteristic length was a few centimeter, the sub-processes of fuel drying, pyrolysis as well as the combustion of residual carbon were identified. Fluidized environment of carrier gas was selected as the major parameter which affect the combustion process.

In the previous paper, the kinetics of cellulose were described. In this study, the ability of some additives to act as a flame promoter for cellulose was investigated using dynamic thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The treated cellulose was thermally decomposed through the two model as previously noted with the untreated cellulose. The first step was associated with the flaming combustion of volatile material released in the fraunentation process and the second was caused by the glowing combustion of carbonaceous residue. The first group of the additives, which could be divided into two groups by the pyrolytic mechanism of cellulose, appeared to catalyze the fragmentation, maximizing the degradation to produce tarry products, with gaseous flammable substrate. The heat evolved in flaming combustion mode was increased significantly by the treatment of the cellulose retained 1-5% of the first group additives.
