인류는 지금 2차석기시대를 맞이하고 있으며 이 시대는 인공으로 만들어지는 돌인 세라믹이 단순히 용기나 도구로 사용되는 것 이외에 정보화사회에 있어서 기술의 관건이 될 지능소자로서 사용되고 있다. 세라믹은 내열성, 내식성, 내마모성이라는 특성으로 인해 많이 이용되어 왔지만 이러한 특성 이외에도 전자적 기능, 광학기능, 화학기능 등 "두뇌"도 우수한 재료라 할 수 있다. 더구나 세라믹은 인간을 대신하여 감지하는 것이 가능한 각종 센서로서도 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 인간에 있어서 눈, 코, 귀, 혀, 피부 등 오감이 센서이며, 눈은 물체를 식별하는 것으로 빛을 검출하고 귀는 소리를 듣는 것으로 압력과 음파를 검출하고, 코는 냄새로 가스나 온도를 검출하고, 혀는 맛으로 미각을 검출하고, 피부는 촉각에 의한 압력, 온도, 습도를 검출하며, 인간의 오감에 대응되지 않는 것으로 세라믹 센서는 자기장을 감지할 수 있다. 이와같이 센서는 용도에 따라 수많은 센서가 개발되어 그 종류가 대단히 많기 때문에 모든 센서에 대해서 기술한다는 것은 어렵다. 그러므로 여기서는 센서중에서 기본적인 가스센서와 습도센서에 대해 소개하기로 한다. 소개하기로 한다.

A rapid and simple RT-PCR diagnosis method for detection of Rice stripe virus (RSV), one of major virus infecting rice, was developed using porous ceramic cubes in this study. The porous ceramic cube can rapidly absorb biological molecules such as small-sized proteins and nucleic acid fragments into its pores. We examined whether this ability of porous ceramic cubes could be applied for isolating viral nucleic acids or particles from the RSV- infected plant tissues. In this study, we found that the porous ceramic cube was capable of absorbing a detection level of viruses from the rice tissues infected with RSV and established RT-PCR-based RNA diagnosis method using porous ceramic cubes.

Porous ceramic beads that had skeleton structure were impregnated with Ag from silver nitrate solution. Ag-impregnated porous ceramic beads were performed to evaluate the antibacterial properties on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, also, compared with commercial silver-activated carbon on antibacterial activity. As concentration of silver nitrate solution increased, deposited-Ag contents of outer and inner surface of beads were increased. The size of silver particles supported on porous ceramic bead were range of $0.5{\sim}2.0\;{\mu}m$. The observed effects of the prepared Ag-impregnated beads on antibacterial activity are as follows : i) Antibacterial activity should be directly proportional to silver nitrate solution and reaction time. ii) The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli was better than that against Staphylococcus aureus.

A system of measurement for the thermal diffusivity of porous materials was developed. Although there are several measurement systems for thermal diffusivity, it is typically difficult to measure the thermal diffusivity of porous materials. This paper presents a measurement system for thermal diffusivity that utilizes a cyclic heating method along with the verification of the measured device. To verify the cyclic heating method, the available reference data of aceramic specimen was utilized. To apply the system to an actual porous material, polystyrene foam was tested. The thermal diffusivity of the polystyrene foam under vacuum was reduced by 63%. The measured values from both tests were in good agreement with the reference values, as they were within 10% of these values.

The recycling possibility of aluminum waste dross(AWD) as a ceramic raw material of porous light-weight material was examined. A aluminum waste dross was washed 4-7 consecutive times and roasted at 900$^{\circ}% for 1hour as pre-treatments. The properties of the pre-treatment of aluminum waste dross was investigated. It was conformed by XRD result that the spinel crystalline was grown in AWD, after roasting. After the roasted AWD was ground in aqueous state, the sodium hexaphosphate(SHP) as a dispersant which is used for stabilizing the concentrated slurry was added to the AWD slurry. The porous material was prepared by slurry foaming method with surfactant at room temperature. The foamed slurry volumes were 2 and 3 times of the original slurry volume. The properties of porous material with extended volume of 3 times was following: the porosity was about 84%, bulk density was 0.59 g/cm$^3$, the range of pore was from 50 ${\mu}m$ to 500 ${\mu}m$ and mean pore size was about 200 ${\mu}m$. AWD porous material was sintered at 1150$^{\circ}C-1250$^{\circ}C. It was colcluded that AWD was sintered well at 1200$^{\circ}C from material surface observation by SEM.

세라믹 분리막은 유기질 막에 비하여 열적, 기계적 및 화학적으로 안정하기 때문에 기존의 유기질 막을 사용하기 어려운 작업 조건 하에서도 응용의 잠재성을 가지고 있다. 본 실험은 disk형태의 다공성 $Al_2O_3$ 담체위에 CVD 법과 Evaporation Oxidation 법에 의해 $Al_2O_3$를 코팅하여 세라믹 분리막을 제조하였다. CVD법에 의한 제조는 Al-isopropoxide를 350$\circ$C에서 담체위에 증착시켜 제조하였으며, Evaporation-Oxidation 법에 의한 제조는 Al을 담체위에 evaporation 시킨 후 dry oxidation 시켜서 제조하였다.

Automotive three-way catalyst substrate has a cordierite ceramic honeycomb structure. The substrate in the high engine speed range doesn't satisfy the design fatigue life due to the low mechanical properties of cordierite ceramic. SiC ceramic has higher mechanical properties than cordierite ceramic. If the automotive three-way catalyst substrate is made from the SiC ceramic honeycomb structure, the substrate can be prevented from premature failure. In this study, the mechanical properties of SiC ceramic honeycomb substrate were estimated by FEA. The FEA results indicated that the MOR and elastic modulus for the SiC ceramic honeycomb substrate was much higher than those for the cordierite ceramic honeycomb substrate.

In this study, the numerical simulation of drying processes for porous materials is performed by employing the hierarchical multi-scale modeling and the nano-scale material properties obtained from the molecular dynamics simulation. The multi-scale simulation system is set up using pre- and post-processors and the drying process of electric porous ceramic insulator is simulated. The temperature, moisture, residual stress, and displacement distributions are compared with those based on homogenized properties.
