The microwave dielectric properties of low temperature sintered BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$ (here after BNT) with a Pb-based glass-ceramics were studied in order to investigate their applicability to Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) for fabrication of multilayered Radio Frequency (RF) passive components module. The BNT ceramics, with 5∼30 wt% of PbO-TiO$_2$-A1$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$ based glass-ceramics, were sintered at 105$0^{\circ}C$, which is lower than 130$0^{\circ}C$, sintering temperature of pure BNT ceramics. With increasing the amount of the glass-ceramics, sintering rate of the ceramics become activated due to the softening of glass, resulting in low-temperature densification. BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$ microwave ceramics with 20 wt% glass-ceramics exhibit sintered relative densities over 95% and dielectric constant of 72, quality factor of 1500, and temperature coefficient of frequency of +22 ppm/$^{\circ}C$. This enhanced dielectric properties are attributed to mainly the presence of crystalline phases PbTiO$_3$ within the Pb-based glass.

Sintering property, mechanical property and bioactivity of $CaO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ glass-ceramics were investigated. This glass-ceramics was sintered at 750-830${\circ}$ and showed nearly pore-free microstructure. The glass-ceramics consisted of three phases, i.e. monclinic-wollastonite, calcium borate and borosilicate glass matrix. The mechanical strength was higher than that of other bioactive ceramics, especially compressive strength(2813 MPa) and fracture toughness($3.12 MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$). Bioactivity of the glass-ceramics depends on amount of $CaB_2O_4$ and borosilicate glass matrix. It might be likely that more soluble $CaB_2O_4$ raises supersaturation of Ca ion in SBF solution and borosilicate glass forms Si-OH group that presents nucleation site of hydroxycarbonate apatite(HCA) layer. So, glassceramics of more $CaB_2O_4$ and borosilicate glass showed better bioactivity.

The glass-ceramic of $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ system was synthesized by using $ZrO_2$, $ZrSiO_4$, $ZrOCl_2$ and $Zr(SO_4)_2$, which is a raw material of Zr serving as a nucleation agent. It was confirmed that Avrami parameter of these four glasses is over 3 for bulk crystallization. The glass synthesized by $ZrOCl_2$, and $Zr(SO_4)_2$ showed high melting quality during the melting process. It is also observed that the Zr component is uniformly distributed in the glass. Various characterizations was evaluated, including composition analysis and bending strength.

The rare earth oxide wastes consisting of major 8 nuclides Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd, are generated during the salt waste treatment of PyroGreen process. The final form of the rare earth is generated as the oxide state. In this study, six candidate glasses were developed to evaluate the feasibility for vitrifying the rare earth oxide wastes within the borosilicate glass system. The solubilities of the mixture of the rare earth oxide waste showed less than 25wt% at $1,200^{\circ}C$, less than 30wt% at $1,300^{\circ}C$, respectively. It means that solubility is increased with the temperature increment. The liquidus temperature of the homogeneous glass with 20wt% waste loading was determined as less than $950^{\circ}C$. In more than solubility of rare earth oxides glass, formation of rare earth-oxide-silicate crystal in glass-ceramic occurred as the secondary phase. As their viscosity at melting temperature $1,200{\sim}1,300^{\circ}C$ was less than 100 poise, electrical conductivity was higher than 1 S/cm, 20~25wt% waste loading glasses with good surface homogeneity are judged to have good operability in cold crucible induction melter. Other physicochemical properties of the developed glasses are going to be experimented in the future.

Glasses of $SiO_2-B_{2}O_3-Al_{2}O_3-CaO-La_{2}O_3$ with various amounts of $La_{2}O_3$ were infiltrated into a porous alumina to make an alumina-glass composite. The infiltration characterization and bending strength of the composite were examined in terms of glass composition. $La_{2}O_3$ in the glass decreased the high temperature viscosity and this enhanced the wetting behaviour of this glass to alumina, and made glass infiltration easier. The infiltrated glass dissolved the alumina skeleton, and $Al_{2}O_3$ component in the glass melt reprecipitated on the alumina. The grain growth occurred to a specific crystal direction. The glass containing $20mole\%$ of $La_{2}O_3$ was crystallized after infiltration, and this enhanced the bending strength of the composite.

The effects of CeO2 on the properties of cordierite-based glass-ceramics and its applicability to low firing temperature substrate were examined. Glass-ceramics were prepared by sintering the glass powder compacts at 900~100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. Density, bending strength, dielectric constant and thermal expansion coefficient of the glass-ceramics were measured as functions of CeO2 contents and sintering temperatures. By adding CeO2, dense glass-ceramics were obtained below 100$0^{\circ}C$. dielectric constant and bending strength were more dependent on the porosity of glass-ceramics containing 5 wt% CeO2, sintered at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, were as follows; relative density is 95.3%, bending strength is 178$\pm$11 MPa, dielectric constant is 4.98$\pm$0.20 (at 1 MHz) and thermal expansion coefficient is 33.7$\times$10-7/$^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the glass-ceramics containing 5 wt% CeO2 appeared to be suitable for low firing temperature substrate of electronic devices.

TiO$_2$를 포함한 희토류 알루미노 규산염계 (NAS: Nd$_2$O$_3$-Al$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$) 유리의 상분리 현상에 대하여 연구되었다. 0~10wt%의 TiO$_2$포함한 NAS 조성은 유리전이온도(T$_{g}$) 부근에서 열처리하여 HF로 부식 후 주사전자현미경, 라만 및 IR 분석기로 상분리가 조사되었다. 그 결과로 상분리한 내부결정화는 8wt% 이상의 TiO$_2$를 포함한 NAS 조성에서 나타났다. 어닐링후 T$_{g}$ 부근에서 열처리의 결과는 투명 연핑크색의 유리를 불투명의 연푸른 우유빛 색으로 변하게 하였으며, Si와 Nd-Ti가 각각 풍부한 10$mu extrm{m}$ 이상과 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 크기인 구형상의 영역으로 균일한 다상분리를 일으켰다. Nd$_2$O$_3$-Al$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$-TiO$_2$계에서 상분리는 내부 결정화와 관련하여 매우 중요한 인자로 확인되었다.

In order to overcome trade-off among compositions, process and properties of the glasses with high PbO-base composition for PDP Rib, we studied glass crystallization and crystallization kinetics by Differential Thermal Analysis(DTA). Glass powder was obtained through melting/cooling/grinding, with 3 wt%TiO2 addition for the crystal nucleation and growth in $62PbO-19B_2O_3-10SiO_2-9(Al_2O_3-K_2O-BaO-ZnO)$(in wt%) composition glass. This powder was heat-treated for 1 to 10 h at $445^{\circ}C$ for nucleation. DTA measurements were performed to obtain the crystallization peak with $5∼25^{\circ}C/min$ heating rates. DTA crystallization peak temperature increased with increasing the heating rate and decreased with increasing the heating time. Because the Avrami parameter (n) was approximately 1, the surface crystallization occurred. The maximum nucleation time was 2 h.
