SiC and Si mixtures dispersed by 0.5~10.0 wt% of Al2O3 and reinforced by SiC whisker were sintered to Si3N4 bonded SiC bodies at 140$0^{\circ}C$ in a N2 gas atmosphere, and the nitridation and mechanical properties of sintered bodies were investigated. From these observation, it is concluded that relative density and bending strength increased with the rising of nitridation and the highest nitridation ratio was obtained for a specimen having 1.5 wt% Al2O3. On the other hand, the amount of $\beta$-Si3N4 in the specimens containing Al2O3 more than 5.0 wt% was increased abruptly and the best in fracture toughness was sintered for a composits having 30 wt% SiC whiskers.

The ceramic dielectrics were fabricated by mixing of Mn $O_2$ and ZnO at (B $a_{0.85}$ $Ca_{0.15}$)Ti $O_3$ and studied for dielectric relaxation characteristics. The dielectric relaxation time was increased by space charge polarization of palaelectric layer at the low temperature and frequency but it was decreased by Interface polarization at the high temperature and frequency. The remnant polarization and coercive field of ceramic dielectrics was decreased by rising temperature.ure.

A study on $BaTiO_3$ ceramics have been shown that dielectric properties of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics strongly depend on the size and ferroelectric domain density of the constituting grain. According to rising substrate temperature from $25[^{\circ}C]$ to $600[^{\circ}C]$, the peak intensity and crystal plane in XRD are increased. In this study, $BaTiO_3$ thin film prepared by RF sputtering from room temperature to $600[^{\circ}C]$ of substrate temperature. Therefore, we tried to investigate the relation between the characteristics of ceramics structure and dielectric factor.

ZnO-based ethanol gas sensors were fabricated by the painting method and their electrical and ethanol gas sensing characteristics were investigated. The ZnO-Pt (1 wt.%) film heat treated at $400^{\circ}C$, for 2 hrs. in air showed the highest sensitivity to ethanol gas in air at an operating temperature of $250^{\circ}C$ The sensitivity of the gas sensors to 1000 ppm ethanol in air at $250^{\circ}C$ was 8.7 and rising time and falling time of the gas sensors were 3.12 minutes and 25 minutes, respectively.

Particulate composites of Al2O3/SiC, Al2O3/ZrO2 and Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC have been fabricated to investigate their R-curve behaviors and toughening mechanisms. Al2O3 containing 30 vol% SiC particles of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ showed rising R-curve behavior owing to the strong crack bridging by SiC particles. The fracture toughness reached 9.1 MPa {{{{ SQRT {m} }} at the crack length of 1000${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. On the other hand, ZrO2-toughened Al2O3 had a high flat R-curve since it rose steeply in the short crack region due to the well known transformation toughening. For Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC composites, the R-curve behavior was similar to that of Al2O3/SiC but with slightly higher toughness. The SiC particles in this composite decreased the amount of transformable tetragonal phase to reduce the effect of transformation toughening by 50%. It was also found that the fracture toughness of this composite with two different toughening mechanisms was markedly lower than that estimated by the simple addition of two contributions.

To develop the removal technique of algal bloom the efficiencies of algal flocculation/ autoflotation by the kinds of coagulant and oversaturated oxygen concentration were investigated. The summarized results are as follow. 1. In the algae flocculation test with alum[$Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}18H_2O$], optimum pH was 5.5 and, with chitosan optimum pH was 7.0. 2. Chitosan which was natural polymer showed the 5~10 times higher algal biomass flocculation efficiency than alum in the condition of same algal concentration. 3. For the each coagulant, the higher ${\Delta}DO$(oversaturated dissolved oxygen concentration - saturated dissolved oxygen) was, the faster the rising velocity of the algal floc was. 4. In the condition of about 4mg/L ${\Delta}DO$, the rising velocity of chitosan is about 2 times higher than that of alum, and chitosan formed the stronger algal floc.

Shaping an input command through considering the resonant modes of multi degrees of freedom system, it is possible to realize the wanted motion, without exciting the uncontrollable modes of the flexible system. But, an increase of modes to be considered brings inevitably about the time delay due to an excessive rising time. On the purpose of reducing the rising time, only the interesting and dominant modes can be considered to determine the timing pulses of input shaper. In this paper, an effect of shaper by the partial modes is analysed for a specific system and the input shapers by the partial modes are analysed for three d.o.f damped system, using Matlab simulation.

This study was carried out to research the change of mineral phases and the characteristics (apparent specific gravity, water absorption, firing shrinkage and thermal expansion etc) of the sintered bodies composed of larnite, wollastonite and anorthite etc. in $CaO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ system. Test bodies were composed of the same theoretical composition as it of anorthite and fired up to $1450^{\circ}C$. Investigated the change and micro-structure of the mineral phases by XRD and SEM, the characteristics of the sintered bodies by DTA/TGA and etc. The results were as follows. 1. The sintering temperature had a higher about $60^{\circ}C$ than that of $CaO-SiO_2$ system because of coexisting $Al_2O_3$. 2. The formation and transition temperature of $\beta$-wol lastonite and $\alpha$-wollastonite were similar to the results of $CaO-SiO_2$ system. 3. The formed larnite and wollastonite were decomposed and melted at about $1260^{\circ}C$. 4. Anorthite began to be synthesized at $1140^{\circ}C$, its quantity was repidly increased according to the temperature rising.

Fracture toughness of particulate composites of Al2O3/SiC, Al2O3/ZrO2 and Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC was analysed theoretically. According to the suggested particle bridging model for obtaining the R-curve height, the crack extension resistance for the long crack was linearly proportional to the residual calmping stress at the interface between the second phase and the matrix. It was also a function of the particle size and the content. It was confirmed that the rising R-curve behavior of Al2O3 containing 30 vol% SiC particles of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was owing to the strong crack bridging by SiC particles. For Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC composites, the tensional stress from the 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ SiC particles was large enough to activate the spontaneous transformation of the ZrO2. The crack extension resistance due to the particle bridging mechanism did not seem to be affected much by the coupled toughening, but its resultant toughness increase could be significantly smaller due to the dependency on the matrix toughness.

The quarternary system ceramics 0.5[yPb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-(1-y)Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3]-0.5[xPbTiO3-(1-x)PbZrO3](PZN-PNN-PT-PZ) was fabricated by the columbite precursor method to obtain a stabilized perovskite structure and by conventional method to evaluate the efficiency of the former methd. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated and the stability of the perovskite phase was studied as a function of PZN and PT contents and firing temperature. In the samples prepared by the columbite precursor method, the pyrochlore phase, which is detrimental to both the dielectric and piezoelectric properties, was not observed in the absence of PZN, and electric properties were improved even when fabricated at low temperature. By adding PZN, some pyrochlore phase appeared and the morphotropic phase boundary of the samples shifted to more Zr-rich composition. The temperature dependence of piezoelectric constant decreased with the addition of PZN, due to the rising of the Curie point.
