Mineral filler is used for resin compounds, because it increases the stiffness and thermal stability of a resin compound, and it also cuts down the cost. Calcium carbonate, silica, magnesium oxide, and others are used as filler materials in general, and the type of filler material, the size, and content can affect the physical properties of compounds. Those factors also influence the viscosity of resin mixtures and the workability, and should be adjusted by changing the contents of the filler, which depends on the size. In this study, five kinds of ground calcium carbonate, which were different in size, were used to produce polyester compounds ; the physical properties were compared with the filler size and contents. The mechanical properties were measured by bending strength and tensile strength, and the heat deflection temperature was obtained for thermal stability.

The effects of clay, aluminum hydroxide, and carbon powder on the sintering of a Si/SiC mixture from photovoltaic silicon-wafer production were investigated. Sintering temperature was fixed at 1,350˚C and the sintered bodies were characterized by SEM and XRD to analyze the microstructure and to measure the apparent porosity, absorptivity, and apparent density. The XRD peak intensity of SiC in the sintered body was increased by adding 5% carbon to the Si/SiC mixture. From this result, it is confirmed that Si in the Si/SiC mixture had reacted with the added carbon. Addition of aluminum hydroxide decreased the cristobalite phase and increased the stable mullite phase. The measurement of the physical properties indicates that adding carbon to the Si/SiC mixture enables us to obtain a dense sintered body that has high apparent density and low absorptivity. The sintered body produced from the Si/SiC mixture with aluminum hydroxide and carbon powder as sintering additives can be applied to diesel particulate filters or to heat storage materials, etc., since it possesses high thermal conductivity, and anticorrosion and antioxidation properties.

To improve the chemical stability of metal, the ceramic coatings on metallic materials have attracted interest from many researchers due to the chemical inertness of ceramic materials. To endure strong acids, SiOC coating on metal substrate was carried out by dip coating method using 20wt% polyphenylcarbosilane solution; SiC powder was added to the solution at 10wt% and 15wt% to improve the mechanical properties and to prevent cracks of the film. Thermal oxidation as a curing step was carried out at 200˚C for crosslinking of the polyphenylcarbosilane, and the coating samples were pyrolysized at 800˚C under argon to convert the polyphenylcarbosilane to SiOC film. The thicknesses of the SiOC coating films were 2.36μm and 3.16μm. The quantities of each element were measured as SiO1.07C6.33 by EPMA, and it can be confirmed that the SiOC film from polyphenylcarbosilane was formed in a manner that was carbon rich. The hardness of the SiOC film was found to be 3.2Gpa through nanoindentor measurement. No defect including cracks appeared in the SiOC film. The weight loss of the SiOC coated stainless steel was within 2% after soaking in 10% HCl solution at 80˚C for one week. From these results, SiOC coating shows good potential for application to protect against severe chemical corrosion of stainless steel.

In order to meet the requirements of faster speed and higher packing density for devices in the field ofsemiconductor manufacturing, the development of Cu/Low k device material is explored for use in multi-layer interconnection.SiOC(-H) thin films containing alkylgroup are considered the most promising among all the other low k candidate materialsfor Cu interconnection, which materials are intended to replace conventional Al wiring. Their promising character is due to theirthermal and mechanical properties, which are superior to those of organic materials such as porous SiO2, SiOF, polyimides,and poly (arylene ether). SiOC(-H) thin films containing alkylgroup are generally prepared by PECVD method usingtrimethoxysilane as precursor. Nano voids in the film originating from the sterichindrance of alkylgroup lower the dielectricconstant of the film. In this study, methyltriphenylsilane containing bulky substitute was prepared and characterized by usingNMR, single-crystal X-ray, GC-MS, GPC, FT-IR and TGA analyses. Solid-state NMR is utilized to investigate the insolublesamples and the chemical shift of 29Si. X-ray single crystal results confirm that methyltriphenylsilane is composed of one Simolecule, three phenyl rings and one methyl molecule. When methyltriphenylsilane decomposes, it produces radicals such asphenyl, diphenyl, phenylsilane, diphenylsilane, triphenylsilane, etc. From the analytical data, methyltriphenylsilane was found tobe very efficient as a CVD or PECVD precursor.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) powders were prepared by the chemical vapor synthesis (CVS) process in the system. Aluminum chloride () as the starting material was gasified in the heating chamber of . Aluminum chloride gas transported to the furnace in atmosphere at the gas flow rate of 200-400ml/min. For samples synthesized between 700 and , the XRD peaks corresponding to AlN were comparatively sharp and also showed an improvement of crystallinity with increasing the reaction temperature. In additions, the average particle size of the AlN powders decreased from 250 to 40 nm, as the reaction temperature increased.

보일러 시스템에서의 부식 현상은 다양한 산업 분야에서 중대한 문제 중 하나로 인식되어왔다. 부식에 주된 원인으로는 높은 온도와 염소 가스와 같은 부식을 촉진시키는 특정한 가스인자들을 꼽을 수 있다. 많은 연구자들은 부식 현상을 억제하기 위한 재료 개발과 방법들에 대해 주목해서 연구해왔지만 각각의 내부식방법들을 비교 분석한 연구 사례는 흔치 않다. 이번 연구에서 우리는 보일러 시스템 고유의 온도 및 가스 조건을 구현할 수 있는 장치를 고안하여 각각의 내부식 방법들을 평가해보았다. 대부분의 보일러 시스템에서는 보일러 관의 외부(~800℃)와 내부(~500℃)가 내부의 스팀생성으로 인해 온도가 다르게 구현되는 독특한 특징이 있다. 우리가 새롭게 고안된 장치를 이용하면 내부식 방법들(ceramic coating, silica taping, plasma coating, high velocity oxygen fuel coating and overlay Inconel welding)에 대한 평가뿐만 아니라 부식을 유발시키는 염소 가스에 대한 영향도 구분해서 분석할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 보일러 튜브 표면에서 발생하는 고온 부식의 메커니즘에 대한 분석 및 고찰을 비롯해 각각의 내부식 방법들에 대한 보일러 튜브의 수명연장효과(잔여 수명 분석)을 FE-SEM, EDS, 무게감량법들을 통해 비교･평가할 수 있었다.

보일러 관의 부식 현상은 오랫동안 다양한 산업분야 걸쳐 제기되어 오는 주요한 문제 중의 하나이다. 특히, 온도는 보일러 관의 부식 현상을 야기시키는 주요한 영향 인자 중에 하나이다. 하지만, 기존의 보일러 시스템의 경우 장기간의 운전으로 인해 온도에 따른 부식 발현을 면밀히 관찰하기에는 부적합한 부분이 있다. 따라서 우리는 기존의 보일러 설비처럼 보일러 관의 내부와 외부 온도조건을 달리하여 제어할 수 있는 장비를 구축하였다. 이를 통해서 다양한 온도 및 환경조건에서 보일러 관의 고온 부식에 대한 실험을 진행할 수 있었다. 결국 FE-SEM(field emission scanning electron microscope), EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer), XRD(X-ray diffraction)를 통한 분석결과로부터 다각적으로 고온 조건에 인한 부식발생기작에 대해 유추할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 weight loss method를 통해서 고온에 따른 부식으로 인한 보일러 관의 두께 및 무게 감량 결과를 통해서 해당 조건에서의 보일러 관의 수명 또한 예측할 수 있었다.

High temperature corrosion is a major issue in waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities because it effects running cost and energy utilization efficiency. Corrosion of heating surfaces in WTE boilers is a complex phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to analyze the high temperature corrosion characteristics of WTE boiler tubes and to determine the influences of high temperature corrosion on heat exchange. Heating surface corrosion samples for this research were obtained from a superheater tube in municipal solid refuse fuel-fired power plant. Surface morphology, microstructure and phase composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The morphology of the heating surface was rough and had porous structures. The chlorine content of the surface was 7.4wt.% and the samples were mainly composed of hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4). The thermal conductivity of the corrosion samples was characterized using thermal conductivity measurements and was found to be 2.33 W/mK at 500oC. This result, which is 17 times less than that of boiler tube carbon steel (40.40 W/mK), indicates that corrosion of WTE boiler tubes is closely related to a decrease in boiler heat exchange efficiency.
