The formation microstructure and properties of novel ceramic composite materials by active filler con-trolled polymer pyrolysis were investigated. Polymethlsiloxane filled with W is of particular interested be-cause of the formation of ceramic bonded hard materials (WC-$W_{2}C$-$S_{1}OC$) for wear resistant applications. Highly metal-filled polymer suspensions were prepared and their conversion to ceramic composites by an-nealing in $N_{2}C$ atmosphere at 1000-$1600^{\circ}C$ were studied. Dimensional change porosity and phase distribution (filler network) were analyzed and correlated to the resulting material properties. Microcrystalline com-posites with the filler reaction products embedded to the resulting material properties. Microcrystalline com-posites with the filler reaction products embedded in a silicon oxycarbide glass matrix were produced. De-pending on the pyrolysis conditions ceramic composites with a density up to 95 TD% a hardness of 7-8.8GPa Yong's modulus of 220-230 GPa a fracture toughness of 6-6.8$MPam^{1/2}$ and a flexual strength of 380-470 MPa were obtained.

나노크기 금속입자가 분산된 세라믹 나노복합재료는 향상된 기계적 특성과 함께 독특한 전기적, 자기적 특성을 보여주어 새로운 기능성 재료로의 응용가능성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 소결 중의 반응이나 입자성장 등으로 형성된 반응상 또는 조대한 입자상이 세라믹 기지의 입계 등에 존재한다면, 나노크기 금속상 분산에 의한 기계적 특성의 향상과 독특한 기능성 부여라는 장점들이 없어지게 된다. 따라서 요구되는 특성을 구현할 수 있는 금속분산 나노복합재료의 제조를 위해서는 미세조직 제어를 위한 최적의 제조공정 확립과 미세조직과 특성 등의 관계에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 기지상으로 A1$_2$O$_3$를, 분산상으로는 저융점 금속이며 일반적인 A1$_2$O$_3$의 가압소결시에 (약 140$0^{\circ}C$) 액상으로 존재하는 금속 Cu를 선택하여 조성이 5 vol% Cu가 되도록 복합재료를 제조하였다. $Al_2$O$_3$와 CuO 원료분말들은 습식 및 건식 볼 밀링을 통하여 균일한 분말혼합체로 제조되었다. 혼합분말은 열간가압소결기 내에 장입한 후 35$0^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 H$_2$가스를 흘려주며 CuO를 Cu로 환원 처리하였다. 계속해서 H$_2$분위기를 유지하며 승온한 후, 각각 1000-145$0^{\circ}C$에서 분위기를 Ar 으로 치환하였다. 소결은 145$0^{\circ}C$에서 30 ㎫의 압력으로 1시간동안 행하였다 소결한 시편들은 직사각형 형태로 가공하였으며 표면은 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$의 다이아몬드 입자로 연마하였다. XRD, SEM 및 TEM을 이용하여 상분석 및 미세조직관찰을 행하였다. 파괴강도는 3중점 굽힘 법으로 (3-point bending test) 측정하였다. 이때 시편 하부의 지지 점간의 거리는 30mm, cross-head 속도는 0.5 mm/min으로 하였고 5개의 시편을 측정하여 평균값을 구하였다.

Novel fabrication technique was developed for high strength Reaction-Bonded SiC (RBSC) hot gas filter for use in IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) system. The room and high temperature fracture strengths for Si-melt infiltrated reaction-bonded SiC were 50-123, and 60-66 MPa, respectively. The average pore size was 60-70 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the porosity was about 34 vol％. RBSC infiltrated with molten silicon showed improved fracture strength at high temperature, as compared to that of clay-bonded SiC, due to SiC/Si phase present within SiC phase. The thickness for SiC/Si phase was increased with increasing powder particle size of SiC from 10 to 34 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Pressure drop with dust particles showed similar response as compared to that for Schumacher type 20 filter. The filter fabricated in the present study showed good performance in that the filtered powder size was reduced drastically to below 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ within 4 min.

Extension of the mobile communication and the rapidly developing services connected with wireless multimedia(W-CDMA, DMB, Wibro, and so on) need great many base station transceiver systems, antennas, and many signal transmission line to embody these services. The min communication appliances system is exposed always in danger of transient overvoltage by direct stroke or induced lightning surge flowing in through antenna because the antenna of base station transceiver system or relay equipment is combined with expensive communication network equipments through signal transmission line. Now, gas discharge tube(GDT) or narrow band stub arrestor which is used by the surge protector for communication use is exposing limitations as for lightning surge protective means of the communication facility with high speed and wide frequency band. Therefore, for improving performance of surge arrestor, we applied ceramic filter which can reduce lightning surge invading from antenna effectively, and proved that ceramic filter is effective in residual voltage reduction through the experimental research.

Recently, porous ceramic materials with anti-static performance are urgently needed for semiconductor and OLED/LCD display manufacturing industry. In this work, we fabricated porous titanium manganese oxide ceramics having the surface resistivity of $10^8-10^{10}$ ohm and enhanced mechanical strength by partial sintering method using nanosized titanium oxide. By addition of nano-sized titanium oxide in the matrix, neck formation between grains was strengthened, which remarkably increased flexural strength up to 170 MPa (@porosity: 15 %), 110 MPa (@porosity: 31 %), compared to 80 MPa (@porosity: 26 %) for pristine titanium manganese oxide ceramics. We evaluated the performances of our ceramics as air-floating module for OLED flexible display manufacturing devices.

In this review an attempt is made to give the background to the current trends in foreign developments in the ceramic matrix composites for space vehicles. The lightweight and high temperature specific modulus properties of ceramic composites have continued to develop for designing advanced propulsion structures and for increasing space vehicle performances. Those applications require advanced materials with good resistance to high temperatures, to oxidation environments and to mechanical stresses. The advantages of ceramic matrix composites are the low specific weight, the high specific strength over a wide temperature ranges, and their good damage tolerance compared to tungsten, pyrographites and polycrystalline graphites. Due to these advantages ceramic matrix composites are currently used in rocket engine chamber, nozzle, solar array, radar antenna, mirror support structures, hypersonic leading edge articles, heat shields, reentry vehicle nose tips, and radiators for spacecraft. Various processes are discussed together with examples of current application so that some of the advanced technologies can be possibly applied to Korean space technology.

The effect of process parameter of plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) on the variation of the ratio between cubic boron nitride (c-BN) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in the film was in-vestigated. The plasma was generated by electric power with the frequency between 100 and 500 KHz. BCl3 and NH3 were used as a boron and nitrogen source respectively and Ar and hydrogen were added as a car-rier gas. Films were composed of h-BN and c-BN and its ratio varied with the magnitude of process parameters, voltage of the electric power, substrate bias voltage, reaction pressure, gas composition, sub-strate temperature. TEM observation showed that h-BN phase was amorphous while crystalline c-BN par-ticle was imbedded in h-BN matrix in the case of c-BN and h-BN mixed film.

Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC) such as $ZrB_2$, ZrC, $HfB_2$, HfC and TaC has been recently actively investigated for the application as components such as nose-cone, rocket nozzle and leading edge of hypersonic systems. However, the application has been limited by various reasons. The brittleness of the materials and consequent low thermal shock resistance is one of the reasons. The property can be improved through the fabrication of ceramic matrix composites. In this paper, the concept of UHTC and the fabrication process and testing of UHTC-based ceramic matrix composites (UHTC-CMC) were briefly reviewed. Also, international activities regarding the fabrication of UHTC-CMC were summarized and a UHTC-CMC project, which was performed in Korea, was introduced.

엔진블럭 사이를 왕복 운동하는 피스톤은 엔진블럭과의 마찰은 불가피한 상태일 수밖에 없으며 이렇게 된다면 엔진블럭 또는 피스톤의 파손, 변경이 있을 수밖에 없다. 피스톤에 대한 연구는 이러한 파손, 변경을 최소화시키기 위해서 내마모성, 내열성 그리고 내구성을 향상시키는데 목적을 두고 있다. 본 실험은 APS법으로 제작된 자기윤활복합코팅층을 준비해 레이저표면텍스처링을 넣어 마찰 실험을 하였다. 기지재로는 알루미나-지르코니아복합체를 사용하였고, 고체윤활제로는 $CaF_2$ 및 $BaF_2$을 사용하였다.

알루미나는 높은 온도에서 열적으로 안정되고 경도가 높으며 내화학, 내마모 특성이 우수하며 또한 강도대비 비중이 낮아 무게를 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 인하여 우주항공, 국방, 원자력등 극한의 온도를 견뎌야 하는 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 고온구 조물로서 응용이 되고 있다. 특히 알루미나를 휘스커 형태로 만들어 세라믹 복합체에 결합 할 경우 복합체의 기지 내에서 강화재의 역할을 함으로써 취성 파괴를 억제하고 열 전도율 저하등의 이점을 가져올 수 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 알루미나 휘스커를 성장을 위하여 Al-triisoproxide계를 이용하여 화학기상증착법으로 가장 안정된 열적 특성을 가지고 온도의 변화에 따라 상 변화가 일어 나지 않는 알파 알루미나 상을 가지는 알루미나 휘스커를 성장시키기 위한 연구를 하였다. 또한 증착 온도, 압력, 입력기체비등 증착 조건을 변화시켜가면서 알파 알루미나 휘스커의 성장 거동을 살펴 보았다. 증착 조건 변화에 따라 알파 알루미나는 막이 증착되는 부분과 휘스커가 성장되는 부분이 있으며 휘스커의 밀집도와 길이방향, 직경방향 성장등 여러 가지 성장 특성을 달리하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 증착조건에 따른 알파 알루미나 휘스커 성장영역을 도식화하였다.
