This paper presents results and observations obtained from a study of sintering behavior and crystallization in $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ (LAS) Glass by screen printing method. The variable experimental conditions were determined carefully by Thermal-Mechanical Analyzer (TMA), Differential Thermal Analyzer (DTA) for setting the optimum transparent sintering conditions in LAS glass system, $10.5Li_2O-14.7Al_2O_3-58.1SiO_2-16.7B_2O_3(wt%)$, such as glass-ceramics which usually have low crystallization temperatures. Crystallization glasses generated during sintering was observed from diffraction patterns by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), transmittance by UV-Vis spectrometer. Finally, the optimum sintering condition of LAS glass and the relation between factors and results in several sintering conditions were given by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). From this study, we confirmed that crystallization interrupted densification during glass powder sintering. Furthermore, we observed that main effect of factors in glass powder sintering with concurrent crystallization depended on experimental conditions from main effects plot by MINTAB-14.

The properties of scid-resistance to boiling HCl, thermal expansion coefficient and softening temperature of mother glass and glass-ceramic of LAS systems were investigated at the contents of SiO2 varing from 57 to 67wt%. The nucleation and growth of crystalline phase of LAS compositions were carried out at 50$0^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$. The crystalline phase jconsists of lithium alumino silicate, lithum meta silicate, lithium disilicate, $\alpha$-crystobalite and $\alpha$-quartz. Lithium alumino silicate(virgilite) is the major crystalline phase in the glass ceramics. The degree of acid resistant property was increased in proportion with the silica content for both glass and ceramics. Glass-ceramic gives lower acid-resistance and thermal expansion coefficient while softening temperature shows higher for glass-ceramic than for mother glass.

For the synthesis of crystalline LAS glass by sol-gel method, the effect of operation conditions including metal alkoxide ratio, nucleating agent composition and heat treatment on the crystalline properties was experimentally investigated. The gelation time and crystallization temperature were proportionally affected by the mole ratio of TEOS in metal alkoxides solution. The addition of $TiO_2$ had an influence on the increasing of the gelation time, but the crystallization temperature was rarely dependent on the adding of nucleating agent. The crystallinity of LAS glass was improved by the nucleating agent under same heat treatment conditions.

The basic characteristics of glass are highly fragile and brittle consequences the ultimate purpose of glass manufacturing is to make a transparent glass with complex shape. In order to solve this problem, mechanical properties of glass can be increased by crystallization of its amorphous glass. However, glass-ceramics has become opaque through crystallization process due to the distracted interface of glass by precipitated particles. This study has been investigated thermal processing conditions of LAS transparent glass-ceramic by using DTA (differential thermal analysis), in order to control size of precipitated particle and then fabricate transparent glass-ceramic. DTA indicated that crystallization peak area was declined with increased nucleation temperature. Subsequently, we have been established optimum temperature for crystallization depending on the nucleation temperature. The transmission and thermal expansion were measured after crystallization, and the size of precipitated particle was identified in range of 20~100 nm by FE-SEM. In addition, by setting the optimized crystallization condition, with high transmission and low thermal expansion glass was synthesized through this experiment.

The glass-ceramic based on LAS($Li_{2}O-Al_{2}O_3-SiO_{2}$) system was observed using SEM(Scanning Electric Microscopy) and AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy) and it was expected to get a correlation between the crystal size and the surface roughness through the result. At heat treatment conditions (the nucleation: $740\~800^{\circ}C$, the crystal growth: $900\~1150^{\circ}C$), the crystal size was increased from 72 to 450 nm so that the mean of surface roughness was also risen from 0.8 to 6.3 nm. Based on the results, the surface roughness of glass-ceramic is controlled by the factors, crystal size, crystallines, and the condition of heat treatment.

The photomachinable glass-ceramics of Ag and CeO2 doped Li203-SiO2 (LAS)glass system was investigated as a function of UV irradiation time. After the expose and the non-exposed samples were heated, they went under crystalline phase with DTA, SEM, TEM and XRD of normal/high temperature. In this work, crystalline phases, microstructure and dielectric properties were studied under the various time of UV irradiation and heat treatment.

The glass-ceramic of $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ system was fabricated by using yttrium oxide and iron oxide that it can reduce the melting temperature and affect the homogenization. Zirconium sulfate was used as a nucleation agent. Calcium phosphate was used to improve the flow the glass so as reduce the viscosity of the glass. The glass-ceramics met a thermal shock test of more than $750^{\circ}C$ and the temperature at which the coefficient of thermal expansion rapidly increased at over $800^{\circ}C$ was shifted by about the above $30^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is concluded that the glass-ceramic of $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ system with yttrium oxide and iron oxide was founded to have good melting conditions and excellent thermal expansion resistance at high temperature such as special field for kitchen utensils.
