To establish the coating conditions for $^{57}Co$, non-radioactive Co ions are dissolved in an acid solution and electroplated on to a copper plate. Then, the thermal diffusion of electroplated Co into a copper matrix was studied to apply a $^{57}Co$ $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ source. Nanocrystalline Co particles were coated on a Cu substrate using DC electro-deposition at a pH of 1.89 to 5 and $20{\sim}30mA/cm^2$. The average grain size was up to 54 nm as the pH increased to 5. The second phase of Co-oxide was formatted as the pH was increased above 4. The diffusion degree was evaluated by mapping using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of different annealing conditions was investigated. The diffusion depth of Co depends on the annealing temperature and time. The results obtained confirm that the deposited Co diffused almost completely into a copper matrix without substantial loss at an annealing temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours.

Diffusion coupling experiment was done to study expansion of body and soild reaction in BaCO3-TiO2 system. Specimen of BaCO3 and TiO2 was formed with Pt-mark's method. Each specimen was fired at interval of 25℃ from 900℃ to 1000℃ for 2hrs. After that, specimen was fixed with resin and polished. Product layers of specimen were observed with SEM and EDS. The result were following; 1. Diffusion component is Ba2+, which diffuse toward TiO2. 2. Large crack between layer of BaCO3 and Ba2TiO4 was generated because of difference of thermal expansion coefficient. 3. Ba2TiO4 is formed to TiO2 body by the reaction of BaTiO3 and BaO and its structure is very porous. 4. BaTiO3 changes immediately to Ba2TiO4 by the reaction of BaO. But BaTiO3 which formed by the reaction of TiO2 and Ba2TiO4 exsists as layer because the diffusion distance of Ba2+ is far.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Al addition on the reaction behavior of cobalt with molten zinc. Pure cobalt specimen was immersion tested in the three kinds of molten zinc (pure, 0.12%Al added and 0.24%Al added) baths at $460^{\circ}C,\;490^{\circ}C\;and\;520^{\circ}C$. For the understanding of degradation processes, specimens were analyzed with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), and electrochemical stripping method. When 0.12% and 0.24% Al was added in molten zinc baths, three intermetallic compounds layers of ${\gamma},\;{\gamma}_1,\;and\;{\gamma}_2$ were formed on the Co matrix and ${\beta}_1$ layer was not formed between the Co matrix and the ${\gamma}$ layer. Particles of CoAl intermetallic compound were formed at the interface between the ${\gamma}_2$ layer and zinc melt and they did not adhere to the Co-Zn intermetallic layer. Weight loss of the Co specimen increased as Al content in the molten zinc increased and the relationship of weight loss vs. immersion time followed parabolic rate law. Rate controlling process for the reaction rate of Co with Al added molten zinc was analyzed as the diffusion process of Al atom through a boundary layer between the ${\gamma}_2$ layer and the Al added zinc melt.

In this study, new morphology of NCA cathode material for lithium ion batteries was obtained through the electrospinning method. The prepared NCA nanofibers formed a nano-bush structure, and the primary particles were formed on the surface of the nanofibers. The embossing primary particles increased the surface area thus increasing the reactivity of lithium ions. The nano-bush structure could shorten the Li+ diffusion path and improve the Li+ diffusion coefficient. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the synthesized material consisted of nanofibers. The surface area of the nanofibers increased by primary particles was measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was carried out to determine the structure of the NCA nanofibers.

The effects of Ni on the mechanical properties of WC-Xwt.%Ni-1.5wt.%Si-1.1wt.%$B_4C$ composite (X = 21.6, 23.6, 25.6 and 27.6 wt.%) were investigated in order to replace Co with Ni as the binder metal for hard materials based on WC-Co system. Using X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy results, the microstructure, pore distribution and grain size of the composites sintered at $1,150^{\circ}C$ were examined with different fraction (X = 21.6, 23.6, 25.6 and 27.6 wt.%) of binder metal Ni. The average WC grain size of the $WC-Ni-Si-B_4C$ composites was about $1{\mu}m$. The Rockwell hardness : A (HRA) and transverse rupture strength were about 88HRA and $110kgf/mm^2$, respectively. The obtained sample was bonded with SM45C at a temperature of $1,050^{\circ}C$. The thickness and mechanical properties of the bonded area were investigated with different dwell time at a bonding temperature of $1,050^{\circ}C$.

Extinguishing limits of laminar ethylene/oxygen flames in both normal and inverse co-flow jet burner have been determined experimentally and computationally. An inert gas($N_2$, Ar, $CO_2$) was added into the oxidizer to find the critical concentration and the effectiveness of the agents on flame extinction. The experimental results showed that the physical aspect of inert gases was main mechanism for flame blow-out as same as cup burner test, but the flow effect should be considered to determine the extinction concentration. The numerical prediction was performed with modified WSR model and the result was in good agreement with the measurements. The experimental and numerical methods could be used for the assessment of various flame suppression agents such as minimum extinguishing concentration.

An experimental study on the unsteady effect of the extinction limit was performed in ethene jet diffusion flames. To impose the unsteadiness on jet flames, the amplitude and frequency of a co-flow velocity was varied, and the two inert gases, $N_2$ and $CO_2$, were used to dilute the oxidizer for extinguishing concentration. The experimental results shows that large amplitude of velocity induces a low extinguishing concentration, which implies that flow variation affects the blow out mechanism. Also, the flow oscillation effects under high frequency attenuates the flame extinction. These results means that flow unsteadiness extends the extinction limit and finally minimum extinction concentration by inert gases. When the Stoke's 2nd Problem is introduced to explain the flow unsteadiness on extinction concentration, the solution predicts the effect of amplitude and frequency of velocity well, and hence it is concluded the effect of low frequency velocity excitation was attributed only to flow effect.

Jacquard floor covering could be prepared from low-melting/regular sheath-core hybrid polyester, where the fiber is dyed in yarn state. With regard that the expected high shrinkage of the hybrid polyester in water makes problems in yarn dyeing, low-temperature dyeing properties of the hybrid polyester were studied. The rate of shrinkage of low-melting hybrid polyester exceeds 9% in hot water above $90^{\circ}C$, at such condition, cheese yarn dyeing is very difficult. Although disperse dyes exhaust in a relatively high speed on low-melting hybrid polyester, diffusion of these dyes to the core regular polyester was extremely slow under $90^{\circ}C$. Foron Blue E-BL 150, an anthraquinone E-type disperse dye, showed appreciable diffusion after 48hrs dyeing at $90^{\circ}C$. The fastness to rubbing and drycleaning were improved by one grade after reduction cleaning.

The morphology of deposits on $15-{\mu}m$ thin SiC filaments has been investigated with SEM in a co-flowing, propane/air laminar diffusion flame. The average size of mature soot particles deposited in the luminous flame edge is strongly dependent on their axial position in a typical heavily sooting flame. The surface growth of liquid-phase PAHs molecules and the transition to soots from fully-developed precursors could be observed in the radial deposition of the flame. Two sooting regimes were found: one is the transition from the condensed-phase precursors; the other is the aggregation of smaller soot particles (or chains of them) to be carried along particle path lines. In the high temperature flame edge outside the soot luminous flame surface, the very thin fiber-like structures, which are about 10 nm thick, were found.

To investigate the influence of the Hf concentration and the annealing effect in $Co_{1-x}Hf_x$(X=0.16, 0.24 at.%) systems, ferromagnetic resonance experiments have been carried out. Spin wave resonance spectra for all samples consist of several volume modes and one (or two) surface mode. It is suggested that both surfaces of the film have a perpendicular hard axis to the film plane (negative surface anisotropy). The surface anisotropy $K_{s2}$ at substrate-film interface is varied slowly from -0.07 to -0.32 erg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the surface anisotropy $K_{s1}$ at film-air interface is varied from 0.18 to -0.47 erg/ $\textrm{cm}^2$ with increasing annealing temperature in the amorphous $Co_{84}Hf_{16}$ thin films. Also, the surface anisotropy $K_{s2}$ is varied slowly from -0.31 to -0.41 erg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the surface anisotropy $K_{s1}$is varied from -0.19 to -0.60 erg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with increasing annealing temperature in the amporphous $Co_{84}Hf_{16}$ thin films. We conjecture that the variation of surface anisotropy $K_{s1}$ is due to the increase of Co concentration resulted from Hf oxidation for low temperature annealing(150~175 $^{\circ}C$) and the diffusion of Co atoms near the film surfaces for high temperature annealing (200~225 $^{\circ}C$).
