Isotropic pitch based carbon fibers were exposed to isothermal oxidation in carbon dioxide gas to study the activation kinetics under the temperature of 800~1100℃. The kinetic equation f=1--(-atb) was introduced and the constant b was obtained in the range of 0.92~1.25. It was shown that the activated carbon fiber shows the highly specific surface area (SSA) when the constant b comes close to 1. The activation kinetics were evaluated by the reaction-controlling regime (RCR) according to changes of the apparent activation energy with changes of the conversion. It was observed that the activation energies increase from 47.6 to 51.2 kcal/mole with the conversion increasing from 0.2 to 0.8. It was found that the pores of the activated carbon fiber under the chemical reaction were developed well through the fiber.

Solar flares present a number of radiative characteristics indicative of kinetic processes of high energy particles. Proper understanding of the kinetic processes, however, relies on how well we can separate the acceleration from transport characteristics. In this paper, we discuss microwave and hard X-ray bursts as a powerful tool in investigating the acceleration and transport of high energy electrons. After a brief review of the studies devoted to the kinetic process of solar flare particles, we cast them into a simple formulation which allows us to handle the injection, trap, and precipitation of flare electrons self-consistently. The formulation is then taken as a basis for interpreting and analyzing a set of impulsive and gradual bursts occurred on 2001 April 6 observed with the Owens Valley Solar Array, and HXT/WBS onboard Yohkoh satellite. We quantify the acceleration, trap, and precipitation processes during each burst in terms of relevant time scales, and also determine ambient density and magnetic field. Our result suggests that it should be the acceleration property, in particular, electron pitch angle distribution, rather than the trap condition, that is mainly responsible for the distinctive properties of the impulsive and gradual flares.

Copolymerization of α-Methylstyrene(AMS) with Acrylonitrile(AN) was carried out with benzoylperoxide(BPO) as an initiator in toluene at 80℃ in a continuous stirred tank reactor. Reaction volume and residence time were 0.6 liters and 3 hours, respectively. The monomer reactivity ratios, rAMS and rAN determined by both the Kelen-Tüdös method and the Fineman-Ross method were rAMS=0.16(0.14), rAN=0.04(0.06). The cross-termination factor Φ of the copolymer over the entire AMS composition ranged from 0.75 to 0.92. The Φ factors of poly(AMS-co-AN) were increased with increasing AMS content. The simulated conversions and copolymerization rates were compared with the experimental results. It was observed that the average time to reach dynamic steady-state was three times the residence time.

While the equilibrium behaviour of surfactant solution is well studied, the understanding of the kinetics and pathways of structural transition under nonequilibrium conditions is only begining to develop. Attention has recently been directed mainly towards micellar kinectics, transitions between micellar and lamellar phases, vesicle fusion, and phases separation in microemulsions. This progress has profited greatly from developments that have taken place in various techniques and instruments.

Surface tension as a function of concentration and temperature was measured for aquous solution of sodium N-acyl sarcosinate, RCON(CH3)CH2 COONa, From the intersection points in the (γ-logC) curves, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) was determined at 20, 30, 40, and 50℃. Structural effects on the cmc maximum and the minimum area per molecule at the aquous solution/air interface were discussed. The free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of micellization and adsorption of surfactant solution also were investigated. Numberous investigators have dealt with sodium N-acyl sarcosinates and their applications as wettings, flooding and reducing agents and as corrosion inhibitors.

Neopentyl glycoI(NPG) 의 함량변화에 따른 diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/4,4' -methylene dianiline (MDA) 계의 등온적 경화거동을 DSC를 이용하여 분석하였다. DGEBA/MDA 계의 경화속도를 증가시키기 위하여 NPG를 첨가하였다. NPG 함량에 관계없이 전화율 곡선이 s-자 모양이었으며, 이것은 DGEBA/MDA/NPG 계의 경화반응이 자촉매 반응 메커니즘에 따른다는 것을 의미한다. NPG의 함량이 증가함에 따라 경화속도가 증가하였으며, 이것은 NPG가 가지고 있는 두 개의 hydroxyl 기가 촉매로 작용하기 때문이다.

The present work has attempted to investigate the dependence of Cu infiltration kinetics on in-situ structure modification of W powder skeleton in W-Cu system. In-situ structure modification of W skeleton by addition of 0.3wt%Ni-P eutectic alloy was designed to proceed during heat-up of the W compact for Cu infiltration process. It was found that the Ni-P added W skeleton underwent remarkable stucture change only during heating-up. its structure was composed of large necks of W particles above 0.5 in the ratio of neck to particle size and smooth pore channels. The infiltration experiment showed that the infiltration kinetics for the W-Ni-P followed well the linear relationship of h vs. the rate constant K of which was in good agreement with the theoretical value. On the other hand, in case of the pure W skeleton a lower K value by 20% than the theoretical one was obatined. Such discrepancy is discussed in terms of skeleton structure induced infiltration mechanics.

Sintering kinetics of ball-milled was studied with the addition of Ni. powder with the average particle size of 1 was obtained from ball-milling of 10 powder. Small amount of Ni was added to the ball-milled powder by salt solution and reduction method. The powder was compacted into cylindrical shape at 200 MPa and isothermally sintered in a atmosphere at the temperature range of 1100~ for 3~600 minutes. The changes of linear shrinkage and sintered density were monitored as a function of sintering time. The microstructure was observed by using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Phases were identified by X-ray diffratometer and electro-probe micro analysis. Sintering kinetics of Ni-added powder was compared to as-milled powder and the apparent activation energy was calculated from Arrhenius plot.

Activated catalysts decomposed carbon dioxide to carbon at 350℃, 380℃, 410℃ and 440℃. The value of carbon dioxide decomposition rate for Cu0.003Fe2.997O4 and Zn0.003Fe2.997O4 catslysts than was better catalysts. The decomposed rate of the catalysts is about 85%~90%. The reaction rate constant(4.00 psi1-α/min) and activation energy(2.62 kcal/mole) of Cu0.003Fe2.997O4 catalyst are better than Zn0.003Fe2.997O4

Diglycidy1 ether of bisphenol A (DEGBA)/4, 4'-methylene dianiline(MDA) 계의 반응속도에 미치는 10 phr의 pheny1 glycidy1 ether(PGE)-acetamide(AcAm)의 영향을 살펴보았다. PGE-AcAm이 첨가됨으로 인해서 승온적 DSC 곡선에서 최대 발열피크의 온도와 피크 시작 온도가 감소하였다. PGE-AcAm의 첨가 여부에 관계없이 전화율 곡선은 s-자 형상이었고, 이는 DGEBA/MDA 계와 DGEBA/MDA/PGE-AcAm 계가 자촉대 반응을 한다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 PGE-AcAm이 10 phr 첨가됨으로 인해서 1.2-1.4배 증가하였는데, 이는 PGE-AcAm의 수산기가 촉매로 작용하기 때문이다.

The rate constants of hydrolysis of N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone and its derivatives have been determined by UV spectrophotometry at 25℃ and a rate equation which can be applied over a wide pH range was obtained. On the basis of rate equations derived and judging from the hydrolysis products obtained and general base and substituent effects, plausible mechanism of hydrolysis in various pH range have been proposed. Below pH 4.5, the hydrolysis was initiated by the protonation and followed by the addition of water to α-carbon. Above pH 10.0, the hydrolysis was proceeded by the addition of hydroxides ion to α-carbon. In the range of 4.5~10.0 the addition of water to nitrone was rate controlling step.

Furfurylidene acetophenone derivatives were synthesis, it was measured that nucleophilic addition made use of UV at a wide pH 1.0~13.0 range in 30% dioxane-H2O solution, 25℃. On the basis of general base catalysis, substitutent effect, confirmation of nucleophilic addition products, it was measured the reaction rate of furfurylidene acetophenone derivatives for the pH change. It may be concluded that a part was unrelated to pH and another part was in proportion to concentration of hydroxide ion: Above pH 10.0. sulfide anion adds to the double bond (Michael type addition), a part having no concern with pH, addition reaction to double bond is initiated by addition of neutral thiourea molecule. From the result of measurement the reaction rate, nucleophilic addition of furfurylidene acetophenone derivatives confirmed to the irreversible first order. Through measurement the substituent effect. It found that reaction rate was accelerated by electron attracting group. On the basis of these findings, nucleophilic addition of thiourea for the furfurylidene acetophenone derivative was proposed a fitting mechanisms.
