The most desirable diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) should have the properties of oxidizing CO, HC and SOF effectively at low exhaust gas temperature while minimizing the formation of sulfate at high exhaust gas temperature. Precious metals such as platinum and palladium have been known to be sufficiently active for oxidizing SOF and also to have high activity for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide $(SO_2)$ to sulfur trioxide $(SO_3)$. There is a need to develop a highly selective catalyst which can promote the oxidation SOF efficiently, on the other hand, suppress the oxidation of $SO_2$. In this study, a Pt-V catalyst was prepared by impregnating platinum and vanadium onto a Ti-Si wash coated ceramic monolith substrate. A prepared Pt-V catalytic converter was installed on a heavy duty diesel engine and the effect of fuel sulfur on particulate matter (PM) of heavy duty diesel engine was measured. The effect of fuel sulfur on PM of Pt-V was also compared with that of a commercialized Pt catalyst currently being used in some of the heavy duty diesel engines in advanced countries. Only 1 $\sim$ 3% of sulfur in the diesel fuel was converted to sulfate in PM for the engine without catalyst, but almost 100% of sulfur conversion was achieved for the engine with Pt catalyst at maximum loading condition. In the case of Pt-V catalyst, there was no big difference in conversion with the base engine even at maximum loading condition. The reason of SOF increase according to the increase of suflate emission was identified as the washing off effect of bound water in sulfate.

Bulk-sized PbTiO₃ (PT), which is widely known as a high-performance ferroelectric oxide but cannot be fabricated into a monolithic ceramic due to its high c/a ratio, was successfully prepared with a high tetragonality by partially substituting Ni ions for Pb ions using a solid-state reaction method. We found that Ni-doped PT was well-fabricated as a bulk monolith with a significant c/a ratio of ~1.06. X-ray diffraction on as-sintered and crushed samples revealed that NiTiO₃ secondary phase was present at the doping level of more than 2 at.%. Scanning electron microscopic study showed that NiTiO₃ secondary phase grew on the surface of PT specimens regardless of the doping level possibly due to the evaporation of Pb during sintering. We demonstrated that an unconventional introduction of Ni ions into A-site plays a key role on the fabrication of bulk PT, though how Ni ion functions should be studied further. We expect that this study contributes to a further development of displacive ferroelectric oxides with a high c/a ratio.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$-BN계 기계 가공서 세라믹스를 $1800^{\circ}C$에서 2시간동안 25MPa의 압력하에서 열간 가압소결하여 제조하였다. $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 매트릭스에 판상의 h-BN 첨가량을 5-30 vol%까지 증가함에 따라 굽힘강도는 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미의 1000 MPa에서 720~400 MPa로 감소하였고, 파괴인성도 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미의 7.6MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$에서 6.5~4.1 MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$로 감소하였다. $\beta$-$Si_{3}N_{4}$의 결정립 크기와 형상비는 h-BN 첨가에 의해 약간 감소하였다. $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미는 절삭시 취성 파괴를 나타내어 절삭이 불가능하였으나, $Si_{3}N_{4}$-BN계 기계 가공서 세라믹스는 파괴가 발생하지 않으면서 절삭이 가능하여, 우수한 기계 가공성을 나타내었다. h-BN 함량이 증가할수록 절삭과 마이크로 드릴링시의 절삭력은 감소하였다.

AIN-BN계 머시너블 세라믹의 미세조직, 기계적 성질 및 기계 가공성에 미치는 h-BN 첨가의 영향을 조사하였다. 소결체의 상대밀도는 h-BN 첨가량의 증가와 더불어 감소하였다. 또한, 4점 굽힘 강도도 AIN 단미의 238 MPa에서 30 vo1% BN 첨가에 의해 182 MPa까지 감소하였다. 낮은 탄성계수와 AIN 매트릭스와 h-BN 입자와의 열팽창계수의 차이에 의해 발생한 잔류인장응력에 의해 AIN-BN 복합재료의 강도가 감소되었다고 생각된다. 판상형태의 h-BN 입자에 의해 균열편향과 pull-out은 증가하였으나, 파괴인성은 BN 첨가량과 더불어 감소하였다. AIN 분말표면에 존재하는 알루미나와 소결조제인 $Y_2$O$_3$와의 반응에 의해 2차상인 YAG상과 ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$상이 생성되었다. AIN에 10～30 vo1%의 BN을 첨가한 복합재료에 대하여 수행한 절삭시험에서 절삭력과 배분력은 h-BN 첨가량에 따라 감소하였으며, 우수한 기계 가공성을 입증하였다. 또한, 모든 시편에서 짧은 시간 내에 0.5 $\mu$m (Ra) 이하의 비교적 양호한 표면 거칠기에 도달할 수 있었다.
