Ultrasound imaging by using piezoelectric materials, such as lead zirconium titanate (PZT) has been one of the most preferred modes of imaging in the medical field due to its simple, low cost and non-ionizing radiation in comparison to other imaging techniques. Recently, the market demand for portable ultrasound is becoming larger with applications in developing countries, disaster area, military, and emergency purposes. However, most of ultrasound probes used is bulky and high power consumable, so unsuitable for such applications. In this study, the 3 layered ceramic specimen consisted of 128 pitches of $420{\mu}m$ in width and $450{\mu}m$ in thickness were prepared by using the Ti-rich PZT compositions co-fired at $1,050^{\circ}C$. Their electrical and ultrasound pulse-echo properties were investigated and compared to the single layer specimen. The 3 layered ultrasound probe showed 1.584 V of Vp-p, which is 3.2 times higher than single layered one, implying that it would allow effectively such a portable ultrasound probe system. The result were discussed in terms of higher capacitance, lower impedance and higher dielectric coefficient of the 3 layered ultrasound probe.

층상구조를 갖는 점토광물은 층상의 이온교환자리에 친소수성 유기물을 화학적으로 치환할 수 있어 도자기 소지의 친소수성 정도를 조절할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Montmorillonite를 이온교환법으로 dodecylamine, hexadecylamine과 반응시켜 유기물이 점토광물에 복합화된 유기-점토 복합체를 조조하였다. 유기물이 점토광물 구조에 치환된 위치 및 층상구조의 간격변화는 FT-IR과 WAXD로, 수식된 유기물의 양은 TG-DSC, C/S 기기를 사용하여 조사하였다. 분석을 통하여 유기물은 층상에 선택적으로 치환하여 층간격을 증가 (12${\AA}{\leftrightarro}16{\AA}$) 시키는 역할을 하였고, 비교적 친수성을 보이는 MMT가 첨가된 가소제로 인하여 소수성으로 변하고 있음을 발견하였다.

Diamond-like carbon(DLC) films were deposited on buffer-layered ZnS substrates by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(RF-PECVD) method. Ge and GeC buffer layera were used between DLC and ZnS substrates to promote the adhesion of DLC on ZnS substrates. Ge buffer layers were sputter deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and $GeC^1$ buffer layers were deposited by same method except using acetylene reactive gas. The relatinship between film properties and deposition conditions was investigated using gas pressure, RF power and dc bias voltage as PECVD parameters. The hardness of DLC films were measured by micro Vickers hardness test and the adhesion of DLC films on buffer-layered ZnS substrates were studied by Sebastian V stud pull tester. The optical properties of DLC films on butter-layered ZnS substrates were characterized by ellipsometer and FTIR spectroscopy.

It is well known that abrasive waterjet(AWJ) was developed as a kind of high-density energy processing technologies. AWJ is used to obtain the better cutting quality of various materials such as metals, ceramics, glass and composite materials within a short manufacturing time because of the characteristics of heatless and noncontact processing. However, AWJ device still has some problems to obtain the high quality of thin workpiece. In this paper, we investigated the optimal microcutting conditions of AWJ, such as maximum pressure, cutting speed and standoff distance of thin multi-layered materials. The experimental results show that AWJ has possibilities and potential to apply to the microcutting of thin multi-layered materials for IT industrial applications.

PURPOSE. The color of the ceramic restorations is affected by various factors such as brand, thickness of the layered the ceramic, condensation techniques, smoothness of surface, number of firings, firing temperature and thickness of dentin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the color change and surface roughness in dental porcelain with different thicknesses during repeated firings. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Disc-shaped (N=21) metal-ceramic samples (IPS Classic; Ivoclar Vivadent; Shaar, Liechtenstein) with different thickness were exposed to repeated firings. Color measurement of the samples was made using a colorimeter and profilometer was used to determine surface roughness. ANOVA and Tukey tests with repeated measurements were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS. The total thickness of the ceramics which is less than 2 mm significantly have detrimental effect on the surface properties and color of porcelains during firings (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Repeated firings have effects on the color change and surface roughness of the dental ceramics and should be avoided.

Ethylammonium-layered aluminosilicates intercalates were prepared by ion exchange reaction between the layered silicates with different layer changes density of 0.32∼0.41 e per unit formula and ethylammonium chloride. A kinetic study on the thermal deintercalation of the ethylammonium-layered silicate intercalates was carried out by range of 350℃ to 480℃ (heating rate of 10℃/min). Based on the Ozawa's method, the activation energies of the thermal deintercalation reaction were estimated as 171.2∼133.0 kJ/mol, which increase linearly with the layer charge densities.

In this paper, stacked piezoelectric ceramics were used for obtaining a large vibration for a small ultrasonic motor which is useable for the both linear drive and rotational drive. We studied this motor through the finite element analysis method and the simulated driving characteristics were presented. As results, the displacement of the tip of the stator was increased when the layers of the ceramics were increased. Also, by inserting additional aluminum plates between the ceramics and the aluminum bar, the displacement were amplified. In this model, two voltages which have 90 degree phase difference were applied for the bi-directional movement.

$Mg_{0.93}Ca_{0.07}TiO_3(MCT)$와 $(Ca_{0.3}Li_{0.14}Sm_{0.42})TiO_3(CLST)$ 세라믹스를 적층형 경사기능재료 구조로 제조한 뒤 소결시간에 따른 마이크로파 유전특성의 변화를 고찰하였다. 소결시간의 변화에 대하여 유전상수는 거의 일정한 값을 유지하였으나, 품질계수는 밀도와 각 유전체 층에 인가되는 열응력의 변화에 의해 영향을 받았다. 적층형 시편의 밀도가 증가할수록, 각유전체 층에 작용하는 열응력이 감소함에 따라 전체 품질계수 값은 증가하였으며, CLST 보다 열팽창 계수가 작은 MCT층에 인가되는 압축응력의 변화에 대하여 품질계수 값은 민감하게 영향을 받았다. 1300$^{\circ}C$에서 9시간 소결한 적층형 경사기능재료 구조의 시편의 MCT층에 가장 큰 압축응력이 인가되었으며, 이 때 가장 낮은 품질계수를 나타냈다.

Room temperature powder spray in vacuum process, so called Aerosol deposition (AD) is a room temperature (RT) process to fabricate thick and dense ceramic films, based on collision of solid ceramic particles. This technique can provide crack-free dense thin and thick films with thicknesses ranging from sub micrometer to several hundred micrometers with very fast deposition rates at RT. In addition, this technique is using solid particles to form the ceramic films at RT, thus there is few limitation of the substrate and easy to control the compositions of the films. In this article, we review the progress made in synthesis of piezoelectric thin/thick films, multi-layer structures, NTC thermistor thin/thick films, oxide electrode thin films for actuators or sensor applications by AD at Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) during the last 4 years.

Three-layer porous alumina-mullite composites with a symmetric gradient porosity are prepared using a controlled freeze/gel-casting method. In this work, tertiary-butyl alcohol (TBA) and coal fly ash with an appropriate addition of $Al_2O_3$ were used as the freezing vehicle and the starting material, respectively. When sintered at $1300-1500^{\circ}C$, unidirectional macro-pore channels aligned regularly along the growth direction of solid TBA were developed. Simultaneously, the pore channels were surrounded by less porous structured walls. A high degree of solid loading resulted in low porosity and a small pore size, leading to higher compressive strength. The sintered porous layered composite exhibited improved compressive strength with a slight decrease in its porosity. After sintering at $1500^{\circ}C$, the layered composite consisting of outer layers with a 50 wt% solid loading showed the highest compressive strength ($90.8{\pm}3.7MPa$) with porosity of approximately 26.4%.
