Due to its low density, good mechanical properties and chemical inertness, glassy carbon(GC) has been studied for appications in several fields. A raw thermosetting resin of furanic resin was polymerized with a curing agent of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. The maximum yield of GC was obtained at the curing agent content of 1.0 wt% in furanic resin. In order to make thick GC, the affect of graphite filler addition to the furanic resin was investigated. The density and electrical resitivity of GC after graphitization were 1.45 $g/cm^{3}$ and 47 ${\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}$ ${\cdot}$ cm respectively and the amorphous structure of GC was confirmed by XRD profiles with very broad peaks comparable to those of graphite at $206^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$.

The tension behavior of Nicalon/CAS glass-ceramic matrix composites was investigated. Infrared (IR) thermography was employed for two different types of $Nicalon^{TM}/CAS$ composites, i.e., cross-ply and unidirectional specimens. During tensile testing, an IR camera was used for in-situ monitoring of progressive damages of $Nicalon^{TM}/CAS$ samples. The IR camera provided the temperature changes during tensile testing. Microstructural characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to investigate the fracture mechanisms of $Nicalon^{TM}/CAS$ composites. In this investigation, the thermographic NDE technique was used to facilitate a better understanding of the fracture mechanisms of the $Nicalon^{TM}/CAS$ composites during tensile testing.

Because the plasma display panel has used red, green and blue(RGB) phosphors, it has suffer from two intrinsic problems; 1) the cell defect due to the lack of binding force between phosphor particles and 2) mis-discharge because of difference of electrical characteristics among RGB phosphors. In order to control the mechanical and electrical properties of RGB phosphors, frit with $ZnOB_2O_3-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ system was added to RGB phosphor as sintering additive. The mechanical properties were increased by the amount of frit. The amount of frit under 5 wt% rarely affected dielectric constant. However, there was the limit of amount because of decreasing optical properties seriously; over 3 wt% in red, over 10 wt% in green and blue.

Alumina bushing used for manufacturing glass fiber was fabricated by gel-casting which can fabricate complex forms. When solid loading is increased, density was increased and shrinkage and absorption were decreased. The sample loading with 57 vol% solid was optimum for alumina suspension, which showed the best physical properties. The cast sample was sintered at $1550{^{\circ}C}$ for two hours with sintering additive, $Y_2O_3$. The result showed that the alumina bushing with $Y_2O_3$ sintering additive has a density of 98%, shrinkage of 11% and bending strength of 196 kg/$cm^2$.

B-doped ZnO thin films on glass substrates were prepared by sputtering the ceramic targets which had been prepared by sintering disks consisting of ZnO and various amounts of B2O3 While pure ZnO films show-ed a c-axis oriented growth the B-doping retarded the prefered orientation and grain growth of the film. Electron concentrations for undoped and B-doped ZnO films were on the order of 7.8${\times}$1018 cm-3 and 5${\times}${{{{ {10 }^{20 } }} c{{{{ {m }^{-3 } }} respectively. The electron mobility however decreased with the B-doping concentration. Optical meas-urements on the films showed that the average transmittance in the visible range was higher than 85% The measurements also indicated a blueshift of the absorption edge with doping.

The dependence of sulfur redox behavior and its diffusivity on temperature and composition was studied in mixed alkali silicate melts by means of square wave voltammetry (SWV) at different frequencies in a temperature range of $1000^{\circ}C$ to $1400^{\circ}C$. The voltammograms showed two reduction peaks at high frequency but only one peak at low frequency. Irrespective of $K_2O/(Na_2O+K_2O)$, each peak potential due to reduction of $S^{6+}$ to $S^{4+}$ and $S^{4+}$ to $S^0$ moved toward a negative direction with temperature decrease, and the peak current showed a strong dependence on frequency at a constant temperature. However, the compositional dependence of the peak potential showed an inconsistent behavior with an increase of $K_2O$. The mixed alkali effect was not observed in sulfur diffusion. This inconsistency of both peak potential and diffusion for compositional dependence may be derived from the strong volatilization of sulfur in melts.

Plasma display panel is a potential candidate for HDTV, due to the fact hat the expansion of screen size is much easier using thick film technology. In this study, transparent dielectric materials using lead borosilicate glasses is developed, which satisfy the requirements of dielectrics for PDP. Paste is made of this glass composition. The paste has thixotropic behavior suitable for screen printing. The paste shows more thixotropic behavior as the particle size decrease. After firing, cross sectional area was analyzed by SEM. The void of fired thick film was removed using bimodal particle system. The dielectric showed good adhesion characteristics.

Dielectric materials with inherently high power densities and fast discharge rates are particularly suitable for pulsed power capacitors. The ongoing multifaceted efforts on developing these capacitors are focused on improving their energy density and storage efficiency, as well as ensuring their reliable operation over long periods, including under harsh environments. This review article summarizes the studies that have been conducted to date on the development of high-performance dielectric ceramics for employment in pulsed power capacitors. The energy storage characteristics of various lead-based and lead-free ceramics belonging to linear and nonlinear dielectrics are discussed. Various strategies such as mechanical confinement, self-confinement, core-shell structuring, glass incorporation, chemical modifications, and special sintering routes have been adopted to tailor the electrical properties and energy storage performances of dielectric ceramics. In addition, this review article highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with the development of pulsed power capacitors.

$BaTiO_3$는 perovskite 구조를 가지는 대표적인 강유전체 재료로서 MLCC(Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitor), PTC thermistor등에 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 최근 고용량 MLCC 의 상업화와 함께 나노크기를 갖는 tetragonal phase의 $BaTiO_3$ 입자를 합성하기 위한 다양한 제조방법이 제시되고 있다. 또한 유전 특성과 온도특성 및 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 많은 첨가제들이 연구되어지고 있다. 따라서 이 번 연구에서는 선행 연구를 통해 얻어진 high energy mill을 이용한 고상반응법으로 제조된 $BaTiO_3$를 사용하였으며, 제조된 $BaTiO_3$ 분말에 glass frit를 첨가하여 소결온도 및 유전특성의 변화를 관찰하였다. 제조된 $BaTiO_3$ 분말은 200nm이하의 구형화와 균일한 입자크기를 보였으며, 선행연구를 통해 최적화된 glass frit의 양인 2.53wt%를 첨가하였고 1170, 1200, $1230^{\circ}C$에서 소결하여 소결온도에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험방법으로는 원료를 혼합하기 위하여 24시간 ball-mill을 이용하여 혼합하였으며, $\Phi15$로 성형하여 소결을 진행하였다. 실험진행 결과 모든 시편에서의 비유전율은 glass frit가 첨가되지 않은 조성보다 높게 나타났으며, $1200^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 시편의 비유전율($\varepsilon_r$)은 2300으로 glass frit가 첨가되지 않은 조성과 비교하여 21% 증가하여 최대치를 나타냈다. 또한 소결온도 $1200^{\circ}C$ 이상에서의 모든 시편에서는 95% 이상의 상대밀도를 나타내어, glass frit가 소결조제로써의 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 glass frit첨가로 인한 소결온도 감소 및 유전특성이 증가하는 것을 확인 하였다.

In existing ceramic mold manufacturing processes, inorganic binder systems (Si-Na, two-component system) are applied to ensure the effective firing strength of the ceramic mold and core. These inorganic binder systems makes it possible to manufacture a ceramic mold and core with high dimensional stability and effective strength. However, as in general sand casting processes, when molten metal is injected at room temperature, there is a limit to the production of thin or complex castings due to reduced fluidity caused by the rapid cooling of the molten metal. In addition, because sodium silicate generated through the vitrification reaction of the inorganic binder is converted into a liquid phase at a temperature of 1,000 ℃. or higher, it is somewhat difficult to manufacture parts through high-temperature casting. Therefore, in this study, a high-strength ceramic mold and core test piece with effective strength at high temperature was produced by applying a Si-Na-Ti three-component inorganic binder. The starting particles were coated with binary and ternary inorganic binders and mixed with an organic binder to prepare a molded body, and then heat-treated at 1,000/1,350/1,500 ℃ to prepare a fired body. In the sample where the two-component inorganic binder was applied, the glass was liquefied at a temperature of 1,000 ℃ or higher, and the strength decreased. However, the firing strength of the ceramic mold sample containing the three-component inorganic binder was improved, and it was confirmed that it was possible to manufacture a ceramic mold and core via high temperature casting.
