A few of polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) membranes and PTFE fine powders were analyzed to chooce an optimum resin. The bi-axial stretching process was developed to set up the foundation of the preparation process and control the pore size and porosity of PTFE membrane. The pretreatment of PTFE fine powder used in the preparation process for PTFE was needed. The mixing of additives, the ripening of mixture, paste extrusion process of ripening powder, calendering process and the bi-axial process were conducted for controlling pore size, porosity and thckness of membrane. The aftertreatment which strengthened the mechanical properties was necessary. The control of pore size and porosity of the membrane were determined. The ratio of PTFE fine powder and additives at the paste extrusion process, the ripening time, the ripening temperature and the parameters of temperature and pressure at the paste extrusion process were optimized.

The microstructures of finely distributed Si-phases in $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ thermoelectric matrix, were produced by heat-treating the melt-cast ingots of single $\alpha$-$Fe_2Si_5$ phase at 730~85$0^{\circ}C$ for 4~20 hours, or by resistance-hot-pressing the mechanically alloyed powders ordinarily consisting of $\varepsilon$-FeSi and Si phases at 760~85$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes of composition. $(Fe_{0.98}Mn_{0.02})_xSi_2(x{\leq$}1) The size and interspacing of dispersed Si-phases were able to control within a range of 0.05~0.27$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 0.2~0.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ by variations of heat treatment temperature and sintering temperature as well as the composition. respectively. The dispersion of Si- phases was expected to be effective for the reduction of thermal conductivity responsible for the increment of thermoelectric figure of merit.

Superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O_y$ thin films were prepared at the deposition temperature of $650^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of 0.0126 Torr on Si(111) and SrTiO3(100) substrates by chemical vapor deposition technique using $\beta$-diketonates of Y, Ba and Cu as source materials. The thin film fabricated on $SrTiO_3(100)$ had a $T_{c,onset}$ of 91K and $T_{c.0}$ of 87K. The thin film prepared on Si(111) had a $T_{c,onset}$ of 91K but didn't have a $T_{c.0}$ at liquid nitrogen boiling point(77.3K). Dense and two-dimensionally well alligned microstructure was developed for the film deposited on $SrTiO_3(100)$ substrate whereas a relatively porous and randomly distributed microstructure was developed for the film prepared on Si(111) substrate.

The effect of variation in particle size of WC and Co powder on the properties of WC-Co alloys was investigated. WC and Co powders having different particle sizes were used in the fabrication of $WC-10\;wt\%$Co composites. High hardness and low fracture toughness alloy was obtained with the decrease in WC particle size regardless of Co particle size. It was newly found in this investigation that the initial particle size of Co as well as WC had a great role in the microstructure and properties of WC-Co hard materials. The average grain size and fracture toughness of WC-Co alloys using same WC powder size increased and their hardness decreased with the use of relatively finer Co binder.

The suspension plasma spraying is a modification of conventional plasma spray techniques that has been developed to overcome the challenge of using fine particles in plasma spray processes. In this study, microstructure developments and mechanical property of yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) coatings prepared by the suspension plasma spray coating technique have been investigated to determine the effect of processing parameters including plasma gun current and total gas flow. The results showed that a highly dense Y₂O₃ coating having low porosity of 0.2 vol% without any lamellar structures can be achieved at the optimum condition of gun current 200 A and total gas flow 220 L/min.

We have investigated the dimensional and microstructural dependence of magnetic properties of CoP nano-wire arrays fabricated by electrodeposition on AAO(anodic aluminum oxide) templates with different-size nanopores. Our results indicate that the magnetic properties of nanowire arrays can be varied with their dimensions and microstructures. As for the CoP nanowire arrays with the diameter of 20nm, it was found to have the coercivity more than 2.6kOe due to the shape anisotropy and squareness(Mr/Ms) of $\~0.8$. The CoP nanowire arrays with the diameter of 200m, however, showed very different magnetic properties depending on the current densities. Nanowires fabricated at $5mA/cm^2$ had stronger tendency to have the preferred crystallographic orientation of (002) parallel to the nanowire than those fabricated at $35mA/cm^2$ These microstructural differences are the reason why CoP nanowire arrays prepared at different current densities exhibited different magnetic properties.

In this study, we present simple microfluidic approach for the synthesis of monodisperse microcapsules by using droplet-based system. We generate double emulsion through single step in the microfluidic device having single junction while conventional approaches are limited in surface treatment for the generation of double emulsion. First, we have injected disperse fluid containing FC-77 oil and photocurable ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) and water containing 3 wt% poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as continuous phase into microfluidic device. Under the condition, we easily generate double emulsion with high monodispersity by using flow focusing. The double emulsion droplets are transformed into microcapsules under the UV irradiation via photopolymerization. In addition, we control thickness of double emulsion's shell by controlling flow rate of ETPTA. We also show that the size of double emulsions can be controlled by manipulation of flow rate of continuous phase. Furthermore, we synthesize microcapsules encapsulating various materials for the application of drug delivery systems.

PTCR 세라믹스를 적층형 부품으로 제조할 경우 소형화, 저 저항화 및 과전류 유입 시 빠른 응답특성을 갖는다는 장점을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 적층형 부품제조시에는 내부전극재가 부품소자의 물성에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 특히 우수한 옴성 접촉(Ohmic Contact)을 갖는 Zn, Fe, Sn, Ni 등의 적층 PTC용 전극재는 높은 산화특성으로 인해 재산화 과정에서의 비옴성 접촉(Non-ohmic contact)을 갖게 되어 PTC 특성을 저하시킬 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적층형 PTCR 세라믹스의 내부전극재와 반도체 세라믹층의 동시소성거동 및 적층 PTCR 세라믹스의 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에 적용된 내부전극재로는 Ni 전극을 사용하였고, Ni 전극용 paste로는 무공제 paste, 반도체 세라믹공제 paste, $BaTiO_3$ 공제 paste의 3종 전극재가 이용되었다. 적층형 PTCR 세라믹스의 제조공정은 테이프 캐스팅(Tape casting), 내부전극인쇄, 적층 및 동시소성을 포함하는 적층화공정을 적용하였다. 각각의 전극 paste를 적용하여 제조된 chip은 미세구조관찰, I-V특성, R-T특성 등을 평가하여 내부전극내 세라믹공제의 영향을 고찰하였다.

Pb(Ni$\_$1/3/Nb$\_$2/3/)O$_3$-PbZrO$_3$-PbTiO$_3$ thick films were screen-printed on platinized alumina substrates and fired at 800-1000$^{\circ}C$. Two kinds of powders with different particle size were prepared by attrition and ball milling methods. Effects of particle size of starting material on the microstructure and electrical properties of the thick films were investigated. Average particle size of attrition milled-powder (0.44 ${\mu}$m) was much smaller than that of ball milled-powder (2.87 ${\mu}$m). Average grain size of the thick film prepared from attrition-milled powder was smaller than that of the thick film prepared from ball-milled powder at the sintering temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$. However, the difference in average particle size became smaller with increasing the sintering temperature. Thick films prepared from attrition-milled powders showed more uniform and denser microstructures at all firing temperatures. Thick films prepared from attrition-milled powders had better electrical properties at the firing temperature above 900$^{\circ}C$ than thick films prepared from ball-milled powders. Dielectric constant, remanent polarization and coercive field of the thick film prepared from attrition-milled powders and fired at 900$^{\circ}C$ were 559, 16.3 ${\mu}$C/cm$^2$, and 51.3 kV/cm, respectively.

This study was conducted to examine the physicochemical properties and micro-encapsulation process of rice fermented with Bacillus subtilis CBD2. The viable bacterial cell, pH, and amylase activity of the rice liquid culture were 7.61 log CFU/mL, pH 5.08 and 159.43 units/mL, respectively. The micro-encapsulated rice liquid culture was manufactured via spray drying with different forming agents: i.e., alginic acid 1.0% and chitosan 0.3%, 0.5%, and 1.0%. The moisture contents of the spray-dried powders were approximately 2.90~3.68%. The color of the L and a value decreased whereas that of the b and ${\Delta}E$ value increased. The particle size and outer topology of the spray-dried rice liquid culture were $48.13{\sim}68.48{\mu}m$ and globular, respectively. The water absorption index of the spray-dried powder (2.40~2.65) was lower than that of the freeze-dried powder (2.66). The water solubility index of the spray-dried powder (9.17~10.89%) was higher than that of the freeze-dried powder (7.12%). The in vitro dissolution was measured for five hours in pH 1.2 simulated gastric fluid, and pH 6.8 and pH 7.4 simulated intestinal fluids, using a dissolution tester at $37^{\circ}C$ with 50 rpm agitation. The amylase survival in the fermented rice was 85.93% through the spray-drying and it was very effectively controlled.
