The additive of low temperature sintering in Mn-doped PMN-PZT known as high piezoelectric materials was studied in this experiment. B$_2$O$_3$ was used for the additive of low temperature sintering. The effects of sintering temperature in dielectric, and piezoelectric properties were investigated with the amounts of B$_2$O$_3$. Sintered density was increased in comparison with no addition and under 2wt％ B$_2$O$_3$ and lower sintering temperature than 100$0^{\circ}C$. Therefore, in the low sintering temperature, the densification was improved by the addition of the B$_2$O$_3$. However, the sintering density was lower than that of the main composition in the case of the sintered at over 10$50^{\circ}C$. Dielectric constant with the addition of B$_2$O$_3$ was evaluated. The dielectric constant was 1000 2 wt％ of B$_2$O$_3$ and sintered at 100$0^{\circ}C$. Under 2wt％ of B$_2$O$_3$, the electromechanical coupling factor and the piezoelectric constant were not so much decreased. The electromechanical coupling factor and the piezoelectric constant were 50％ and 300(${\times}$10$^{-12}$ C/N) respectively. The mechanical quality factor was increased with B$_2$O$_3$. The mechanical quality factor was 1700 at 0.5wt％ B$_2$O$_3$ and sintered at 110$0^{\circ}C$. Dielectric loss was less than 0.5％ regardless of the amount of B$_2$O$_3$.

Homogeneously dispersed zirconia suspension was prepared by addition of 500ppm polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The powder compact by centrifugal casting from this suspension shows more uniform packing, higher packing density, and smaller pore size than that of suspension without PVA. On using this powder compacts, sintered monocllnic zirconia with the relative density of 98% could be obtained at low temperature of 125$0^{\circ}C$.

In order to evaluate the properties of the sintered zirconia for optical ferrule, specimens were prepared at 1350, 1400 and $1450^{\circ}C$ using starting materials supplied by A, B and C providers. Crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical strength were tested as a function of sintering temperature. Crystallinity of the sintered specimens was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A field emission-scanning electron microscope was used for studying the microstructure after sintering. Bending strength and Vickers' hardness were also examined by universial tester and Vickers' hardness tester, respectively. The specimen B sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was favorable because of its high tetragonality and good mechanical strength for practical usage.

A sintering paste for bonding copper plates was synthesized using Cu formate nanofibers on Cu microparticles, mixed with formic acid. Copper oxide nanofibers of 10 ㎛ grown at 400 ℃ on Cu microparticles on the surface were transformed into copper formate nanofibers through the mixing of formic acid. Compared to Cu bulk particles or nanoparticles, Cu formate on Cu microparticles decomposed into metallic Cu at a lower temperature of 210 ℃, facilitating the sintering of copper paste. The growth of nanofiber on Cu microparticles allowed for an increase in the reaction rate of formation to copper formate, aggregating surface area, and decomposition rate of copper formate, resulting in fast sintering.

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.

Co-firing incompatibility between the low temperature sinterable Glass/ceramic and Ag-thick film was studied. The dielectric material, which has been developed for microwave frequency applications, consists of $SiO_2-TiO_2-Bi_2O_3$-$Bi_2O_3$-RO system(RO:BaO -CaO-SrO) crystallizable glass and $Al_2O_3$as a ceramic filler. The large camber in the sintered specimen and cracks at the Ag-film under the influence of the camber occurred due to the difference of densification rate between the ceramic sheet and the Ag-film $B_2O_3$addition to the Glass/ceramic mixture reduced the severe camber. The cambers decreased with increasing the $B_2O_3$ content, and completely disappeared with 14 vol% $B_2O_3$addition. With additions of $B_2O_3$, $\varepsilon_{r}$ decreased abruptly, Q$\times$f value increased largely and the $\tau_f$ value of the material quickly shifted to positive one.

Microwave dielectric properties have been investigated in the$(1-x)CaTiO_3-xYAlO_3$ (x=0.1~1.0) solid solution system. The mixtures of $CaTiO_3$ and $YalO_3$using solid state method were sintered at various temperatures. Their dielectric constants and related temperature coefficients were strongly depend on the composition of the solid solution. The optimum properties were recorded as for ${\varepsilon}_r=47,$ $Q{\times}f_0$=35000 and ${\tau}_f=+11ppm/^{\circ}C$ without sintering agent. Even at $1200^{\circ}C$ full densification has been achieved with addition of $CaB_2O_4$ in the $0.75CaTiO_3-0.25YalO_3$ composition. The sample of $0.3 wt%-CaB_2O_4$ added $ 0.75CaTiO_3-0.25YalO_3$ sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 3 h showed optimum microwave dielectric properties of ${\varepsilon}_r=47$, $Q{\time}f_0=37000$ and ${\tau}_f=+17ppm/^{\circ}C$, which demonstrates the promising candidates for microwave dielectric materials covering 5~7 GHz range.

It was experimentally identified, for the first time, that oxygen phonons play an important role in the low temperature degradation(tetragonallongrightarrowmonoclinic phase transformation) of yttria stabilized tetragonal zir-conia polycrystals (Y-TZP). The degradation accompanied by immersing the samples in the boiling water were markedly reduced by substituting of 18O for 16O in Y-TZP. This was attributed to the heavier mass of 18O which leads to the smaller probability to find oxygen atoms beyond certain critical displacements.
