On heating amorphous Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3 ceramics, glass transition occurred at 35$0^{\circ}C$, crystallization at 394~420, 485~550 and 540~571$^{\circ}C$ (depending on the heating rates of 2.5~8$0^{\circ}C$/min), phase transformation at 680 and 73$0^{\circ}C$, and melting at 935$^{\circ}C$. A curve-fitting computer program was made using FORTRAN, based on a kinetic equation. Reconstructed thermograms (using the program) turned out to be very close to the measured DSC results for all the heating rates, with average deviation of only 4% at maximum.

The densification behaviro and resulting properties of cordierite-aluminium titanate composites containing 5 to 40wt.% aluminium titanate were investigated. Compared with cordierite monolithics a substantial increase of sintering temperature range for composites was observed, which was due to the formation of cordierite and glass phase at relatively low temperatures. The bending strength of composites showed its maximum at 30wt.% aluminium titanate content, which was about 50% increase relative to the cordierite monolithics, then decreased by a small amount at 40wt.% aluminium titanate content. The decrease was explained by the increase of microcracks whose presence was confirmed by the hysteresis of thermal expansion curve of composites. However, the microcracks formed was not severe enough to produce a significant decrease in strength, which was also evidenced by the continuous increase of thermal expansion coefficient up to 40wt.% aluminium titanate content.

The CVD process of BPSG (BoroPhosphoSilicate Glass) and its thin film properties were studied. B2H6, PH3, SiH4 and O2 gases were reacted in a AP (Atmospheric Pressure) CVD system in the temperature range of 300℃ and 460℃. The interaction of B2H6 and PH3 was studied from the deposition rate and dopant incorporation change point of view. The dependency of BPSG step coverage on the temperature was changed with different O2/(B2H6+PH3+SiH4) ratio. Finally, the boundary which distinguishes the stable BPSG's from the ones that react with Di (Deionized) water or cleaning chemicals such as H2SO4, HCl, H2O2, NH4OH etc could be defined.

PLZT thin films were prepared using sol-gel spin coating. The films mainly consisted of perovskite phase when heat treated at 600$^{\circ}C$ and in O2 or air atmosphere for 2 hours after 7 coating cycles. Cracks were formed when smaller than after 9 coating cycles. When ITO interlayer existed between Corning 7059 glass substrate and the film, cracks were not formed after 9 coating cycles, but cracks were formed after 11 coating cycles because of large volume change of the film contracting on the substrate during the heat treatment. In the observation of microstructure, the thin films have perovskite phase of about 2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ grain size and pyrochlore phase of 100∼200${\AA}$ grain size.

ZnO-In$_2$O$_3$ films were fabricated on Corning 1737 glass substrate by an electron beam evaporation technique and their characteristics were investigated. The composition of ZnO-In$_2$O$_3$ films had a marked effect on the electrical properties of the films. The ZnO-In$_2$O$_3$ films showed superior transparent-conducting characteristics with increase of Zn content. The resistivity and carrier concentration of the film having Zn content of 45 at% are 4.45${\times}$10$^{-3}$ cm and 3.1${\times}$10$^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$ , respectively. Also, the transmittance was higher than 80% throughout the visible range. The average roughness of the film was 14.6 $\AA$ in terms of root mean square.

Transparent, crack-free dried gel monoliths with a composition of LiZr1.5Si2P2O12.5 have been synthesized by the low temperature polymerization of the Sol-Gel technique using metal alkoxides as starting materials. After initial reaction (20~40 min), each metal alkoxide closely paralleled each other during the hydrolysis reactions. The safe drying conditions of gels with no creaks the control of the shrinkage rate. The gels converted into the glass by heat treatment at 75$0^{\circ}C$. FTIR data indicated that the gels were phase separated into silicarich and phosphate-rich regions with the lithium. XRD results showed the formation of crystalline LiH2PO4. The gels dried at 15$0^{\circ}C$ or fired at 75$0^{\circ}C$ contained the residual water. The high ionic conductivity at room temperature for these gels was attributed to the motion of protons.

The specimens which were prepared from cokes with additions of 0~25 wt% B4C were sintered in Ar atmosphere at 220$0^{\circ}C$. The effects of B4C content on graphitization and oxidation resistance of cokes were investigated. B4C accelerates the graphitization of cokes and at 220$0^{\circ}C$ the degree of graphitization increased from 0.33 which is the value of pure carbon to 0.56, which increased bluk density and porosity. Especially bending strength increased as th graphitization temperature increased. Oxidation resistance property was greatly improved when B4C was added more than 10wt% at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and when B4C was added more than 20wt% at 100$0^{\circ}C$. This was because that the thin layer of B2O3 glass phase on the surface of the composite could be identified to increase the oxidation resistance.

Ferroelectric anomaly in PbO-{{{{ { {B }_{2 }O }_{3 } }}-{{{{ {TiO }_{3 } }}-BaO glasses which is observed in DAT measurements was in-vestigated together with the effect of BaO content on the shift of Cuire temperature. The temperature where the ferroelectric anomaly apperars on cooling in DTA decreased in proportion with increasing BaO content,. For as-crystallized samples the ferroelectric anomaly was not observed on heating but on cooling whilist for powder samples leached chemically from the crystallized samples both endothermic and ex-otehrmic peaks were observed. This fact suggests that the appearance of the ferroelectric anomaly in DAT largely depends on glassy phases surrounding individual {{{{ {PbTiO }_{3 } }} crystals rather than effects of grain size and crystallinity.

ZnO 2-D nanowall structure with around 100 nm thickness, which is composed of tens of nm scale ZnO single crystals, was fabricated through the low temperature chemical solution growth method. Electro Chemical Deposition (ECD) technique was applied to attach the ZnO seed crystals on ITO coated glass substrate. The ZnO nanowall structure was grown in the 0.015 mol$\%$ of aqueous solution of zinc nitrate and hexamethenamine at 60$^{\circ}C$ for 20 - 40 h. The nanowall structure depends on the ECD condition or the applied voltage and duration time. The nanowall shows a photoluminescence around 550 - 700 nm spectrum range.

A study on the robust control of a composite beam with a distributed PVDF sensor and piezo-ceramic actuator is presented in this paper. $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ natural frequencies are considered in the modeling, because robust control theory which has robustness to structured uncertainty is adopted to suppress the vibration. If the controllers designed by $H_{\infty}$ theory do not satisfy control performance, it is improved by $\mu$-synthesis method with D-K iteration so that the $\mu$-controller based on the structured singular value satisfies the nominal performance and robust performance. Simulation and experiment were carried out with the designed controller and the verification of the robust control properties was presented by results.
