After adding 8Y-ZrO2 powders to 3Y-ZrO2 powders at ratios of 0, 33, 50, 67, and 100% by weight, the mixed yttria-stabilized zirconia specimens were fabricated into thin plate using tape~casting method and then sintered at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h in air. The crystalline structure, microstructure and electrical properties of the sintered zirconia thin plates were investigated by using X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and impedance analyser, respectively. At the temperatures higher than 75$0^{\circ}C$, the sintered thin plate with 33% 8Y-ZrO2 content shows higher mechanical properties and lower electrical resistivity than 8Y-ZrO2 thin plate which is generally used as an electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells. This is due to the fact that the zirconia thin plates with low 8Y-ZrO2 content maintain the slope of low temperature region up to high temperatures, whereas at temperatures higher than 50$0^{\circ}C$ the slope decrease in the zirconia thin plates with high 8Y-ZrO2 content.

Transparent xBa(La$_{1}$2/Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_{3}$-(1-x)Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_{3}$ (x=8.5, 9.0[mol.%], Zr/Ti=70/30~40/60) ceramics were fabricated by the two-stage sintering method, the electrooptic properties were investigated with Ba(La$_{1}$2/Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_{3}$ content and Zr/Ti composition ratio. Decreasing the Zr/Ti ratio, the electrooptic property was changed from a quadratic electrooptic effect to a linear electrooptic effcet. In the BLN-PZT 9.0/50/50 specimen having the tetragonal structure, the linear electrooptic coefficient had the highest value of 6.01*10$^{-10}$ [m/V] and in the BLN-PZT 9.0/55/45 specimen which located near the MPB region, the quadratic electrooptic coefficient had the highest value of 10.53*10$^{-16}$ [m$^{2}$/V$^{2}$].

In the composition of $Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$ the effect of particle size on PbO vaporization were measured, . The initial step of discontinuous vaporization of unreated PbO during the calcining process was depended on the particle size. All additives $La_2O_3Nb_2O_5$ and $Al_2O_3$ inhibited the grain growth of the composition $Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$ +2wt% excess PbO. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the composition $Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$ were improved by the addition of 2wt% excess PbO and proper additive. The electromechanical planar coupling factor of 0.65 and mechnical quality factor of 390 could be obtained by adding 5wt% $Nb_2O_5$ to the composition 2wt% excess PbO+$Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$.

Fibrous $Al_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)/t-ZrO_2$ composites having core/shell structure were fabricated by multi-extrusion process. The effect o volume fraction between core ($Al_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)$) and shell ($t-ZrO_2$ was investigated to understand the relationship between microstructure and material properites, in which the volume fractions of core and shell were varied as 40:60, 50:50 and 60:40. The material properties o hardness and bending strength were increased as the volume fraction of core was increased, and their maximum values were about 1320 Hv and 750MPa, respectively. However, as the volume fraction of core increased, the values of relative density and fracture toughness were decreased from 97.1 to $96.5\%$ and from $6.5MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ to $5.7MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.

Effects of microstructures on the electrical properties of ZrO2 based ceramics were analyzed by modeling layer arrangements and mixed phase structures. Single layers and alternating multilayers were made from 3mol% and 8mol% Y2O3 doped ZrO2 powders, while mixed specimen was made by blending and compacting these raw powders. After sintering at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr in air, AC impedance characteristics were measured. Contributiion of bulk comonent to total resistivity and its temperature-dependence were larger in 8Y-ZrO2 single layer than in 3Y-ZrO2 single layer. The multilayered specimen connected in serial to electrodes showed partial characteristics of both 3Y-ZrO2 and 8Y-ZrO2 single layers. The multilayered specimen connected in parallel to electrodes and the mixed specimen exhibited characteristics mainly of 8Y-ZrO2 single layer. The multilayered specimen connected in parallel to electrodes revealed the highest electrical conductivity near the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cell. However, it is expected that the mixed specimen is appropriate for the applications because of its relatively high electrical conductivity with high strength expected.

Vanadium oxides supported on zirconia and modified with MoO₃were prepared by adding Zr(OH)₄powder into a mixed aqueous solution of ammonium metavanadate and ammonium molybdate followed by drying and calcining at high temperatures. The characterization of prepared catalysts was performed using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and solid-state $^{51}V$ NMR. In the case of a calcination temperature of 773 K, for samples containing low loading of $V_2O_5$, below 15 wt %, vanadium oxide was in a highly dispersed state, while for samples containing high loading of $V_2O_5$, equal to or above 15 wt %, vanadium oxide was well crystallized because the $V_2O_5$ loading exceeded the formation of a monolayer on the surface of $ZrO_2$. The $ZrV_2O_7$ compound was formed through the reaction of $V_2O_5\;and\;ZrO_2$ at 873 K and the compound decomposed into $V_2O_5\;and\;ZrO_2$ at 1073 K, which were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and solid-state $^{51}V$ NMR. IR spectroscopic studies of ammonia adsorbed on $V_2O_5-MoO_3/ZrO_2$ showed the presence of both Lewis and Bronsted acids.
