The simulated DUPIC fuel provides a convenient way to investigate fuel properties and behaviours such as thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, fission gas release, leaching and so on. Several pellets simulating the composition and microstructure of the DUPIC fuel were fabricated from resintering powder through the OREOX process of the simulated spent fuel pellets, which were prepared from the mixture of stable forms of constituent nuclides. This study describes the powder treatment, OREOX, compaction and sintering to fabricate simulated DUPIC fuel using the simulated spent fuel. The homogeneity of additives in the powder was observed after attrition milling. The microstructure of the simulated spent fuel was in agreement with the previous studies. The densities and the grain size of simulated DUPIC fuel was pellets are higher than those of simulated spent fuel pellets. Small metallic precipitates and oxide precipitates were observed on matrix grain boundaries.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) nanopowders were synthesized by coprecipitation and the sol-gel method to prepare a stable dispersion of ITO nano-colloid for antistatic coating of a display panel. The colloidal dispersions were prepared by attrition process with a vibratory milling apparatus using a suitable dispersant in organic solvent. The ITO coating solution was spin-coated on a glass panel followed by the deposition of partially hydrolyzed alkyl silicate as an over-coat layer. The double-layered coating films were characterized by measuring the sheet resistance and reflectance spectrum for antistatic and antireflective properties.

Attenuation of conduction noise through microstrip line attached with the high lossy iron flakes-rubber composites has been investigated in GHz frequencies. Microstrip line was designed with characteristic impedance of 50 $\Omega$ and a length corresponding to the center frequency of 3 GHz. Iron flakes were fabricated by mechanical forging of spherical iron powders using an attrition mill. The fabricated microstrip line shows a ideal propagation characteristics of S$\sub$11/ < -60 dB and S$\sub$21/ = 0 dB. Attaching a noise absorbing sheet on the microstrip line, S$\sub$11/ increases to about -10 dB and S$\sub$21/ decreases to -20～-60 dB depending on the length of absorbing sheet. The calculated power loss is as high as 80% in the frequency range 2～8 GHz. It is suggested that the most critical material parameter is magnetic loss for the enhancement of noise attenuation.

In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of the EM wave absorber which was fabricated by using flake sendust (soft metal magnetic powder). The flake sendust was made of 3 different granularity by attrition mill. First, we have fabricated 3 kind of EM wave absorbers using the flake sendust and CPE(Chlorinated Polyethylene) and measured the S-parameters of the EM wave absorber. The complex relative permittivity and permeability were calculated from the measured data and the variations according to a change of granularity were researched. As a result, it was confirmed that the EM wave absorber using flake sendust with the $140{\mu}m$ average granularity has outstanding absorption ability in high frequency range(C band) for the reduction of eddy current loss(increase of permeability) and the increase of space charge polarization(increase of permittivity).

Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) powders were synthesized by precipitation of solutions of Al and Y nitrates using ammonium hydrogen carbonate as a precipitant. Y$_2$O$_3$ and YAG phases were formed in the precipitates, which had been attrition-milled. Well-crystallized, phase-pure YAG powders were obtained after calcination of the milled precipitates at 1100$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The powders were found to exhibit an excellent sinterability regardless of the addition of SiO$_2$(500 ppm Si) as a sintering aid. All samples already densified to relative densities greater than 70% at 1300$^{\circ}C$ and relative densities of ∼83％ at 1400$^{\circ}C$. The samples doped with SiO$_2$ showed a little improvement in densification as compared with those for the undoped samples and resulted in a relative density of 97% at 1600$^{\circ}C$.

Dense and single phase $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) ceramics were prepared using attrition milled calcined (coarse) powders of an average particle size of ${\approx}3{\mu}m$ by conventional sintering process. A relative density of ${\approx}96%$ with average grain size $7.3{\mu}m$ was obtained when the powder compacts were sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ even for a shorter duration of 10 min. In contrast, densification barely occurred at $800^{\circ}C$ for up to 12 h rather the microstruce showed the growth of abnormal grains. The grain growth behavior at different temperatures is discussed in terms of nonlinear growth rates with respect to the driving force. The sample sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ for 12 h showed enhanced electrical properties with leakage current density of $4{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ at 1 kV/cm, remnant polarization $2P_r$ of $8{\mu}C/cm^2$ at 20 kV/cm, and minimal dissipation factor (tan ${\delta}$) of ~0.025 at $10^6$ Hz. These values are comparable to the previously reported values obtained using unconventional sintering techniques such as spark plasma sintering and rapid liquid phase sintering.

전기적 에너지를 기계적 에너지로 변환하고 또한, 기계적 에너지를 전기적 에너지로 변환할 수 있는 압전 세라믹스는 압전 변압기 (piezoelectric transformer), 초음파 모터, 센서 등과 같은 응용분야에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 특히, 전원장치에 있어서 현재 주요 전자제품에 사용되고 있는 권선형 변압기와 같은 전자 변환기의 대체품으로 압전 세라믹스 소재의 특성을 이용한 압전변압기의 개발과 응용연구는 국내외적으로 활발히 연구되어왔다. 압전변압기는 권선형 변압기와 비교 하였을 때 누설자속이 없어 노이즈 발생이 없고, 공진주파수만을 이용하므로 출력의 파형이 정현파에 가까워 고조파 잡음이 없으며, 불연성의 특징을 가지고 있다. 추가적으로 압전 변압기는 소형화, 슬림화, 경량화가 가능하며 90%이상의 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 단판형 압전변압기의 출력한계를 개선하기 위해 높은 승압비와 고출력을 갖는 적층타입의 압전변압기가 제안되었다. 압전변압기용 조성 세라믹스는 높은 에너지 변환효율을 위해서 전기기계결합계수 ($k_p$)가 커야 하며, 발열에 의한 온도 상승을 억제하기 위하여 기계적 품질계수(Qm)가 큰 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 높은 전류를 발생하기 위해서는 유전상수가 커 압전변압기의 출력측 정전용량을 크게 하여야한다. 이러한 압전변압기의 제작 조건을 위해 우수한 압전 및 유전특성을 갖는 PZT계 세라믹스가 주로 사용 되어져 왔다. 그러나, PZT계 세라믹스의 우수한 압전 및 유전특성에도 불구하고 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 급격히 휘발하는 PbO의 성질 때문에 환경적으로나 인체의 건강문제로 인해 전세계적으로 그 사용량을 제한하고 있다. 또한 적층 압전변압기의 구조적 특성상 내부전극과 함께 소결하여야 하는데, 이때 소결온도가 높으면 값비싼 Pd합량이 높은 전극을 사용하여야 한다. Pd함량이 10%미만인 Ag/Pd 전극을 사용하기 위해서는 $950^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 저온소결이 가능한 세라믹스 제조가 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 소결온도를 낮추는 방법으로는 다른 물질들을 치환하여 소결온도를 낮추는 방법과 미세분말을 만들어 그레인사이즈를 미세화 하는 방법들이 있다. 많은 미세 분말 제조 방법 중에서 Attrition mill은 일반적인 ball mill에 비해 분말의 입도를 미세하게 할 수 있어 증가된 분말의 비표면적에 의하여 반응을 촉진시킴으로써 저온소결이 가능한 세라믹스를 만들 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소결온도가 낮으면서도 유전 및 압전특성이 우수한 조성을 사용하여 적층 압전변압기를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 조사하였다.

Ceramic ink-jet printing technology in art tiles, decorated tablewares and other porcelain products has many advantages of fast and precision printing of various images with high efficiency and low cost. For the application to ink-jet printing, ceramic ink requires a stable dispersibility with nano-sized pigments. In this paper, characteristics of pink-red aqueous ceramic ink for ink-jet printing was demonstrated. $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ pigment was synthesized using solid state reaction and deagglomerated using attrition milling. The aqueous ceramic ink contains 10 wt% of the obtained $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ nanopigment with 0.4 wt% of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a dispersion agent. Viscosity of $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ aqueous ceramic ink was adjusted using 0.18 wt% of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for a suitable jetting from the nozzle. The prepared pink-red ceramic ink showed a good jetting property with formation of a single sphere-shaped droplet after $180{\mu}s$ without a tail and satellite droplet.

For the aim of thin electromagnetic wave absorbers used in mobile telecommunication frequency band (0.8-2.0㎓), we investigate high-frequency magnetic, dielectric and microwave absorbing properties of iron particles dispersed in rubber matrix in this study. The major experimental variables are particle shape (sphere and flake) and initial particle size (in the range 5-70 $\mu\textrm{m}$) of iron powders. High value of magnetic permeability and dielectric permittivity can be obtained in the composites containing thin plate-shape (flake) iron particles (of which thickness is less than skin depth in ㎓frequency), which can be produced by mechanical forging of spherical iron powders using an attrition mill. This result is attributed to the reduction of eddy current loss (increase of permeability) and the increase of space charge polarization (increase of permeability). The optimum initial particle size is found to be about 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$ for the attainment of the material parameters (particularly, real part of complex permeability) satisfying the wave impedance matching. With the iron powders controlled in size and shape as absorbent fillers in rubber matrix, the thickness can be reduced to about 0.7mm with respect to -5㏈ reflection loss (70% power absorption) in mobile telecommunication frequency band.
