The effect of Cu content on microstructure and mechanical properties of nano-sized Cu dispersed $Al_2O_3(Al_2O_3/Cu)$ nanocomposites was investigated. The nanocomposites with Cu content of 2.5 to 10 vol% were prepared by reduction and hot-pressing of $Al_2O_3/CuO$ powder mixtures. The nanocomposites with Cu content of 2.5 and 5vol% exhibited the maximum fracture strength of 820MPa and enhanced toughness compared with monolithic $Al_2O_3$. The strengthening was mainly attributed to the refinement of $Al_2O_3$ matrix grains. The toughening mechanism was discussed by the observed microstructural feature based on crack bridging.

Catalytic decomposition and reduction of NO have been carried out on copper loaded mordenites in a packed bed flow reactor. For the decomposition of NO, $Cu^{\circ}/HM$ exhibited higher activities than CuO/HM at high copper content, which may be related to the difference in the amount of $Cu^{2+}$ ions and the reducibility of CuO between $Cu^{\circ}/HM$ and Cuo/HM. However, $Cu^{\circ}/HM$ showed higher reduction activities than CuO/HM at low copper content. This result may be dependent on the difference in the amount of high-reducibility CuO between $Cu^{\circ}/HM$ and CuO/HM.

NiCuZn ferrites were prepared by a solid-state reaction and sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. Its properties were investigated by controlling the ferrite composition and processing. NiCuZn ferrite with a composition of ${(Ni_{0.2}Cu_{0.2}Zn_{0.6}O)}_{1.02}{(Fe_{2}O_{3})}_{0.98}$ was found to have the maximum initial permeability as a result of the variation of Cu content and the (Ni+Cu)/Zn ratio. Curie temperature($T_{c}$) of NiCuZn ferrite was decreased with the larger Cu content and increased with the larger Ni content. NiCuZn ferrites of ${(Ni_{0.2}Cu_{0.2}Zn_{0.6}O)}_{1-w}{(Fe_{2}O_{3})}_{1+w}$ composition milled for 20~80 hours had the maximum initial permeability at w=-0.015 and Curie temperature ($T_{c}$) was decreased with the increasing of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ deficiency(w).

Variables affecting the passivation capability of Cu(Mg) alloy films, which were sputter deposited from a Cu (4.5 at. %) target, have been investigated. The results show that the passivation capability of a Cu(Mg) alloy film is a function of annealing temperature, $O_2$ pressure, and Mg content in the film. Increasing the annealing temperature up to $500^{\circ}C$ favors formation of a dense MgO layer on the surface which has a growth limited thickness of 150 $\AA$. Decreasing the $O_2$ pressure enhances the preferential oxidation of Mg over Cu. Furthermore, increasing the Mg content in the Cu(Mg) film promotes formation of a dense MgO layer. Vacuum pre-annealing was found to be very effective in segregating Mg to the surface, facilitating the passivation capability of the Cu(Mg) alloy film even when the Mg content is low. In the current study, self-aligned MgO layers with low resistivity and an effective passivation capability over the Cu surface, have been obtained by manipulating these factors when Cu(Mg) thin films are annealed.

The effect of x wt% CuO-y wt% $V_2O_5$ content on the microwave properties of $(Pb_{0.45}Ca_{0.55})[(Fe_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})_{0.9}Sn_{0.1}]O_3$ (PCFNS) ceramics was investigated. In order to decrease the sintering temperature and use as a Low Temperature co-firing Ceramics (LTCC), CuO-$V_2O_5$ are added in the PCFNS. The bulk density, dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) and quality factor(Q${\cdot}f_0$) increased with increase in CuO content within a limited value. The microwave properties were degraded with increases in $V_2O_5$ content. The temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (${\tau}_f$) of PCFNS was shifted to positive value abruptly with increasing the $V_2O_5$ content, while the ${\tau}_f$ was slightly shifted to positive value with increasing the CuO content. The optimized microwave properties, ${\varepsilon}_r$ = 88, Q${\cdot}f_0$ = 6100 (GHz), and ${\tau}_f$ = 18 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, were obtained in $(Pb_{0.45}Ca_{0.55})[(Fe_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})_{0.9}Sn_{0.1}]O_3$ with 0.2wt% CuO 0.05 wt% $V_2O_5$ and sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The relationship between the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of ceramics was studied by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Laser sealing with glass frits appears a promising technology for sealing various electronic devices (e.g., solar cells, displays) due to its several advantages. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between the composition of glasses and their laser-heating conditions. To allow glass to be sealed using laser heating, CuO was added to two different glass systems, in different amounts. The optical absorptivity of the glass samples was related directly to their CuO content. The laser-heating temperature and the CuO content exhibited a proportional relationship. Furthermore, the heating temperature increased linearly with the laser power used. From these results, we could determine the appropriate laser-heating conditions and CuO content for sealing electronic devices using laser-sealing technology.

$(Ni_{1-x-y}Zn_xCu_y)Fe_2O_4(x=0.45,\;0{\leq}y{\leq}0.3)$ was synthesized by conventional ceramic processing, and the sintering behavior and the magnetic properties of which were studied as functions of CuO content and sintering temperature. Both the densification and the grain growth rates were significantly enhanced with the increase of CuO content, while abnormal grain growth occurred when the samples of $y{\geq}0.2$ were sintered above $950^{\circ}C$. Saturation magnetization and coercive field were mainly influenced by the densification and grain growth of the specimens, respectively.

$Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ was prepared by the conventional method of solid state reaction and SHS method. The samples were annealed in different atmosphere in order to examine the influence of atmospheres on the carbon contents in the $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ compound. The lowest carbon content in $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ could be attended when the sample was annealed in $O_{2}$ at $800^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours. The $CO_{2}$ in air pollute the samples and increase the carbon content in the sintering process. The critical current density of the $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ samples will decrease with the increasing carbon contents in the samples. The impurity carbon will deposit in the grain boundary, which makes critical current density lower.

For the purpose of development of polyurethane sealing material, polyurethane resins reinforced with CuO were prepared from polyol and MOAC(4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chlorobenzeneamine)). And the effects of compositions on the mechanical properties of the reinforced polyurethane resin were experimentally examined. The polyurethane resin got to be thermally decomposed at $260^{\circ}C$ and completely carbonized around $500^{\circ}C$. Tensile strength, elongation and hardness of the polyurethane resin increased with the content of MOCA. CuO was uniformly dispersed in the polyurethane resin by 1 minute's ultrasonic radiation. Tensile strength, elongation and hardness of the polyurethane resin reinforced with CuO increased with the content of CuO. Tensile strength and hardness of the reinforced polyurethane resin increased with particle size of the CuO, but elongation decreased. CuO showed higher tensile strength and hardness than any other additives, and lowest elongation.

The effect of Cu substitution on the properties of NiZn ferrites sintered at low temperature with composition is investigated. The densification of NiCuZn ferrite in dependent upon Cu content in the composition of (N/sub 0.5-x/Cu/sub x/ Zn/sub 0.5/O)(Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/)/sub 0.98/. Electrical resistivity is maximum at x=0.2. Dispersion characteristics of complex permeability of (Ni/sub 0.5-x/ Cu/sub x/Zn/sub 0.5/O)(Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3)/sub 0.98/ is observed above x=0.3 and relaxation frequency increases with higher temperature. The magnetic loss of NiCuZn ferrite is occurred above the Cu content x=0.3 at a low frequency.
