After $SnO_2$ fine powder by precipitation method, Ca as crystallization inhibitor and Pd as catalyst were added to $SnO_2$ raw material by various methods. Thick film device was fabricated on the alumina substrate by mixing ethylene glycol and such mixed powders. The sensing characteristics of the device for methane gas were investigated. The most excellent gas sensing property was shown by the thick film device fabricated by Method 3 in which Ca and Pd doped $SnO_2$ powder is prepared by mixing $SnO_2$ powder, 0.1 wt% Ca acetate and 1 wt% $PdCl_2$ in deionized water and by calcining the mixture, after $Sn(OH)_4$ is dried at $110^{\circ}C$ for 36h. The sensitivity of the sensor fabricated with $SnO_2$-0.1 wt%Ca acetate-1wt%$PdCl_2$ powder heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1h was about 86% for 5,000 ppm methane in air at $350^{\circ}C$ of the operating temperature. Response time and recovery were also excellent.

The tribological behaviour of monolithic SiC as well as SiC-TiC and SiC-TiC-$TiB_2$ particulate composite materials has been investigated in unlubricated oscillating sliding tests against $Al_2O_3$ at temperature in the range from room temperature up to $600^{\circ}C$. At temperatures below $600^{\circ}C$ the wear rate of the systems with the composite materials was up to 20 times lower than the wear of the $Al_2O_3$/SiC system and was dominated by the oxidation of the titanium phases. At $600^{\circ}C$ the oxidation rate of the TiC and -TEX>$TiB_2$ grains becomes predominant resulting in an enhanced wear rate of the composite rate of the TiC and TiB2 grains becomes predominant resulting in an enhanced wear rate of the composite materials. The coefficient of friction shows similar values for all materials of investigation, increasing from 0.25…0.3 at room temperature to 0.7…0.8 $600^{\circ}C$. The wear of the $Al_2O_3$/SiC system is mainly abrasive at temperatures above room temperature and is characterised by an enhanced wear of the alumina ball at $600^{\circ}C$.

In this study the nanostructured ${\alpha}-Al_{2}O_3$ ceramics have been fabricated by the combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS), and their density and hardness properties were investigated. The ${\alpha}-Al_{2}O_3$ prepared by the combined processes showed an increase by $8.4\%$ in density, approaching the value close to the true density, and an enhancement by $210\~400\;Hv$ in hardness, compared to those fabricated by MPC or static compaction method followed by sintering treatment.

A novel design of gas sensor using Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films which are deposited on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates is presented. The LTCC substrates with thickness of 400 ${\mu}m$ are fabricated by laminating 12 green tapes which consist of alumina and glass particle in an organic binder. The GZO thin films with different thickness are deposited on LTCC substrates, by RF magnetron sputtering method. The microstructure and sensing properties of GZO gas sensing films are analyzed as a function of the film thickness. The films are well crystallized in the hexagonal (wurzite) structure with increasing thickness. The maximum sensitivity of 3.49 is obtained at 100 nm film thickness and the fastest 90% response time of 27.2 sec is obtained at 50 nm film thickness for the operating temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ to the $NO_2$ gas.

The old technique of sandblasting which has been used for decoration of glass surface has recently been developed into a powder blasting technique for brittle materials such as glass, silicon and ceramics, capable of producing micro structures larger than 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In this study, we introduced oblique powder blasting, and investigated the effect of the impacting angle of particles, the scanning times and the stand-off distance on the surface roughness and the weight-loss rate of samples with no mask, and the wall profile and overetching of samples with different mask pattern in powder blasting of soda-lime glass. The varying parameters were the different impact angles between 50$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$, scanning times of nozzle up to 40 and the stand-off distances 70mm and 100mm. The widths of mask pattern were 0.2mm, 0.5mm and 1mm. The powder was alumina sharp particles, WA #600. The mass flow rate of powder during the erosion test was fixed constant at 175g/min and the blasting pressure of powder at 0.2Mpa.

The objective of this research is to analyze the fracture toughness of pure and silica co-doped yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP) bioceramics containing 0.1 and 0.2 wt.% of alumina, and sintered at a temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$. Because of the relatively easy preparation of the test specimens and the high speed of testing, the Vickers indentation fracture (VIF) technique is more frequently used to evaluate the fracture toughness of biomaterials and hard biological tissues. The Young's modulus and hardness values were obtained by means of nanoindentation and indentation methods. The fracture toughness values of 3Y-TZP bioceramics were calculated and analyzed using 15 equations related to the VIF technique, and loadings of 49.03 and 196.13 N with a Vickers diamond. For validation, the results were compared with fracture toughness values obtained by the single-edge laser-notch beam (SELNB) method with an almost atomically sharp laser-machined initial notch.

Application of ceramic materials for fabrication of dental restoration materials has been a focus of interest in the field of esthetic dentistry. The ceramic materials of choice are glass ceramics, spinel, alumina, and zirconia. The development of yttrium tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (YTZP)-based systems is a recent addition to all-ceramic systems that have high strength and are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-produced, YTZP-based systems are popular with respect to their esthetic appeal for use in stress-bearing regions. The highly esthetic nature of zirconia and its superior physical properties and biocompatibility have enabled the development of restorative systems that meet the demands of today's patients. Many in vitro trials have been performed on the use of zirconia; however, relatively fewer long-term clinical studies have been published on this subject. The use of zirconia frameworks for long-span fixed partial dentures is currently being evaluated; in the future, more in vivo research and long-term clinical studies are required to provide scientific evidence for drawing solid guidelines. Further clinical and in vitro studies are required to obtain data regarding the long-term clinical use of zirconia-based restorations.

단사정 구조의 순수 $ZrO_2$ 또는 5.35wt%의 $Y_2O_3$를 첨가한 정방정 구조의 $Y_2O_3(Y-TZP)$를 $Al_2O_3$에 첨가하여 그 기계적 특성 및 열충격 저항성을 연구하였다. $ZrO_2(m)$와 Y-TZP의 첨가량이 커짐에 따라 $Al_2O_3$의 소결 밀도가 증가하였다. 또한 Y-TZP의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 비커스 경도도 증가하였고 첨가량 20wt%에서 최고값을 나타내었다. 시편의 경도는 소결 밀도에 의존함을 알 수 있었다. $ZrO_2(m)$나 Y-TZP 첨가량의 증가는 파괴인성을 향상시키는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 $Al_2O_3$의 경도는 $ZrO_2$의 transformation toughening 뿐 아니라 미세균열 강화에서도 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다. 단사정 구조의 순수 $ZrO_2$의 첨가는 $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$의 열 충격 저항성을 향상시켰다. 결정입도는 $ZrO_2$의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 커진다.

일본에서 적색 라꾸용 원료로 사용중인 황토는 장기간 사용으로 매장량이 감소되어 대체 원료를 개발하고자 노력중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 일본 라꾸요장에서 사용되는 일본 시가현 고우가시 시가라끼 황토를 분석하여 이와 동일한 색상의 화장토를 개발 하고자 하였다. 일본 시가라끼 황토에 함유된 Goethite와 Wustite의 양을 Raman에 의한 "상대 정량분석법"으로 분석한 결과 일본 시가라끼 황토 내에 함유된 산화철 9.4 %에는 Goethite가 5 %, Wustite가 4.4 %로 구성되어 있으며 이를 $900^{\circ}C$에 넣어 10분간 소성 시 적색을 나타내는 것은 Goethite가 Hematite로 전이되면서 Hematite에 Alumina와 Silica가 고용되기 때문이다. 일본 시가라끼 황토에 함유된 산화철의 양을 기초로 일본 적색 화장토와 같은 색상을 나타내는 것은 하동 White Kaolin 100 g에 Goethite를 5 g, Wustite를 9 g을 첨가한 것이었으며 UV측정결과 $L^*a^*b^*$값은 각각 56.83, 27.22, 23.28이었다.

Geopolymer는 시멘트와 비교하여 $CO_2$ 배출량의 감소, 내화성, 낮은 열전도성 등 다양한 장점을 보유하고 있는 eco-friendly 건설재료이다. 그러나 표면에 화염을 가할 경우 geopolymer panel 표면의 열적거동에 대한 연구결과는 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 내열성 건축자재로서 화염노출시 geopolymer 경화체의 표면특성을 조사하기 위하여 alumina 골재가 사용된 geopolymer 경화체 표면의 화염노출 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 화염노출시 panel의 외형변형 및 열충격에 의한 크랙은 없었으며, calcite의 잔존량과 aluminosilicate gel의 halo 패턴으로 보아 화염에 의한 탈탄산 및 탈수는 표면에 국한되어 발생했으며, geopolymer 경화체의 내구성은 화염조사 후에도 유지되고 있는 것으로 판단된다. Quartz와 calcite가 감소함에 따라 gehlenite와 calcium silicate가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있으며, BFS의 치환량이 많을수록 현저하게 나타난다. 화염노출에 따른 미세구조의 변화는 탈탄산, 결정수의 탈수 등으로 기공의 형성과 발전되는 과정을 거쳐 calcium silicate, gehlenite 등과 같은 새로운 결정상의 형성에 의해 geopolymer panel 표면의 치밀화와 강화기구로 작용하여 내구성이 향상된 것으로 생각된다.
