Natural and expandable graphites were chemically treated in acidic aqueous solutions such as acetic acid or mixtures of acetic acid and nitric acid. Structures and thermal conductivities of the as-treated graphites were characterized in detail. Both graphites were significantly oxidized in the mixed acidic solution of $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$, which condition was generally used for the oxidation of carbon nanotubes. This considerable oxidation of graphites caused a depression of their thermal conductivity. The structural characteristics, obtained by XRD and XPS, show that the graphites treated in the relatively weak acidic conditions (acetic acid or mixture of acetic acid and nitric acid) were quite similar to the untreated graphites. However, the thermal conductivities of both acidic-treated graphites were remarkably increased.

In this work, the oxidation-induced characteristics of five nuclear graphites (NBG-17, NBG-18, NBG-25, IG-110, and IG-430) were studied. The oxidation characteristics of nuclear graphites were measured at the three temperature areas (300, 600, and $900^{\circ}C$). As experimental results, the pore size of oxidized graphite was increased with increasing of oxidation time. It was also found that the oxdation rate was propotional to the oxidation temperature and time. This was probably due to the oxidation was occurred on the surface and inner bulk phase of nuclear graphites at the same time by the socalled chemical regime.

Porous graphites were synthesized by removing the template in HF after cabothermal conversion for 3 h at $900^{\circ}C$, accompanied by intercalations of pyrolyzed fuel oil (PFO) in the interlayer of Co or Ni loaded magadiite. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the porous graphites exhibited 00l reflections corresponding to a basal spacing of 0.7 nm. The particle morphology of the porous graphites was composed of carbon plates intergrown to form spherical nodules resembling rosettes like a magadiite template. TEM shows that the cross section of the porous graphites is composed of layers with very regular spaces. In particular, crystallization of the porous graphite was dependent on the content of Co or Ni loaded in the interlayer. The porous graphite had a surface area of $328-477m^2/g$. This indicates that metals such as Co and Ni act as catalysts that accelerate graphite formation.

Thermal emissivity of nuclear graphite was measured with its oxidation degree. Commercial nuclear graphites (IG-110, PECA, IG-430, and NBG-18) have been used as samples. Concave on graphites surface increased as its oxidation degree increased, and R value (Id/Ig) of the graphites decreased as the oxidation degree increased. The thermal emissivity increased depending on the decrease of the R (Id/Ig) value through Raman spectroscopy analysis. It was determined that the thermal emissivity was influenced by the crystallinity of the nuclear graphite.

Thermostable property is one of most important characteristics of graphite. Commercial graphites sheet from expanded graphite is using for high-temperature elements. Nowadays the new plant with high performance is developed in field of chemical industries, so the need of graphites is increasing rapidly. In this paper, the thermostable properties of newly developed graphite products with high density is investigated. I introduced the graphite material which developed for these heat tests by NGF method in order to test thermostable properties by comparing to the results of the commercial graphite sheet from expanded graphite in same condition. Through measuring the weight reducing ratio with various specimens in some conditions, I investigated the thermostable characteristics of these materials. It is verified that the graphite products by NGF method has almost same or superior thermostable properties comparing with that of commercial graphite sheet. Also the graphite products by NGF method have possibility of being better in thermostable properties.

In this study, we investigated defects of graphite by three NDT methods which are ultrasonic testing at 5 MHz, micro-forused X-ray testing and AE testing. As the detection of AE signals generated from graphite tensile specimens, we calculated location of AE sources and compared them with UT and X-ray test results in detecting defects of several specimens, Acoustic emission testing could be applied to some graphites which have fine grains of a few tens of micrometer, but it was difficult to those in lager grain of few fo milimeter. Also, we could understand what kind of defects has affected on tensile fracture of graphite.

Doping of boron atoms in graphite has been well known method to increase the discharge capacity as the negative electrode material for lithium secondary battery. Herein, the boron-doped graphites are prepared by mixing 1, 2.5, 5, and 7 wt. % of boron carbide in carbon during the graphitizing process. The structural states of boron in boron-doped graphites are investigated by solid-state 11B NMR spectroscopy. The resonance lines for substitutional boron atoms are identified as the second order quadrupolar powder pattern with the quardrupole coupling constant, QCC = 3.36(2) MHz. The quantitative analysis of 11B NMR spectra with boron-doped graphite has also been performed via simulation.

Thermal and electrical conductivities of the natural, artificial, and expandable graphites were analyzed after treatment in NaOH aqueous solution. In order to investigate the elimination of the oxidized groups and impurities on the graphite surfaces after NaOH treatment, the graphite samples were structurally characterized by using XRD, XPS, Raman, FE-SEM. The thermal and electrical conductivities of the graphite samples were significantly improved after NaOH treatment. These results were caused by the structural rehabiliation.

Graphites is well known to have superior advantages to high-temperature, high-pressured, and strong acid-state gas or liquid because it is very stable and chemical structure. Nowadays the new plant with high performance is developed in field of chemical industries, so the need of graphites is increasing rapidly. In this paper, newly developed graphite products with high density is investigated by the mechanical properties of that. I introduced the graphite material which developed for this experiment by the forming process in order to compare to the commercial graphite sheet from expanded graphite which made by the rolling process. Through measuring density and hardness test also tensile test, I investigated the characteristics of these materials. It is verified that the newly developed graphite products forming method is able to make graphite products which have superior mechanical properties than that of commercial graphite sheet.

The effects of C, Si and RE additions on the tendency of chill formation of ductile cast iron obtained from metal mold casting were investigated. In case of metal mold cast, the ductile cast iron with 2.5%Si had pearlitic matrix, and specimens with 2.9%Si had bull's eye type regardless of C contents. As-cast specimen with a large amount of fine graphites could be obtained by adding 0.2% RE. Normalizing process was necessary to remove carbide and form a large amount of spheroidal graphites for the as-cast specimens. Good mechanical properties could be obtained by heat-treatment of as-cast specimens with pearlitic matrix. Normalizing the specimens with RE caused the reduction in mechanical properties.
