In this study, materials characterization of pure copper and copper based carbon nano-tube composite prepared by powder metallurgy method were investigated. Prior to evaluate materials characterization, spark plasma sintering processing variables such as sintering temperature, pressure, thickness and diameter of compacts was optimized to ensure the microstructure and materials property of pure Cu and Cu-CNT composite. In addition, corrosion behavior of Cu-based CNT composite produced by powder sintering method was investigated. It was confirmed from this study that the corroded surfaces of the composite shows less dissolution compared with pure copper in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The measured corrosion current density (I_corr) indicates improved corrosion property of Cu based composite containing small additions of CNTs in chloride containing media. Micro-galvanic activity between Cu and CNT was not observed in given sintering condition.

Pressureless-sintering of SiC with additions of yttria and alumina was studied. SiC could be densified to about 97% of its theoretical density at 185$0^{\circ}C$ which is about 20$0^{\circ}C$ below the normal sintering temperature of SiC with boron and carbon. Yttria and alumina formed intergranular liquid phases at the sintering temperature and promoted densification by the liquid phase sintering mechanism. The microstructure of sintered specimens was equiaxed and the liquid phase appeared to wet and dissolve SiC grains. The fracture toughness was measured by indentation method and found to be 5.3MPa.m1/2. Processing flaws near the surface of specimens appeared to be the major fracture origin during 3-point bending tests.

This study sought to apply different MgO additions to Zirconia (20wt % Frit) and thereby determine its mechanical properties depending upon variation of temperature, as a part of elementary study. First, in terms of sintering density depending on sintering conditions, it was found that sintering density increased as temperature varied from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $1300^{\circ}C$. As the addition of MgO increased, it was found that sintering density tended to decrease at each temperature. For the maximum sintering density obtained from pellet, it was found that 3wt% MgO addition specimens sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ had its maximum sintering density as high as 97.39%. This study measured mechanical properties of these specimens, and it was found that their bending strength tended to decrease as the content of MgO addition increased. And it was found that their bending strength reached up to 162 MPa when 3wt% MgO was added to them for sintering process at $1300^{\circ}\Delta C$. It was also found that those specimens had Vickers microhardness up to 4.6 GPa when 5wt% MgO was added to them for sintering process at $1300^{\circ}C$.

We investigated the effects of calcination temperature and sintering additives on the sintering behaviors and microwave dielectric properties of $(Zn_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})TiO_3$. Highly densified samples were obtained at the sintering temperatures below $1000^{\circ}C$ with additions of 0.45 wt.% $Bi_2O_3$ and 0.55 wt.% $V_2O_5$. From the examination of the existing phases and microstructures before and after sintering of $(Zn_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})TiO_3$ system calcined at the various temperatures ranging from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$, it was found that high $Q{\times}f_o$ values were obtained when unreacted or second phases in calcined body were reduced. When calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$ and sintered at $900^{\circ}C$, it consists of hexagonal as a main phase with uniform microstructure and exhibits $Q{\times}f_o$ value of 42,000 GHz and dielectric constant of 22.

In this study, low temperature sintering property of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramics with sintering adds were investigated for LTCC application which enable to cofiring with Ag electrode. $TiTe_3O_8$ mixed with $MgTiO_3$ to improve the temperature property. In the X-ray diffraction patterns, the columbite structure of $TiTe_3O_3$ phase and ilmenite structure of $MgTiO_3$ phase were coexisted in all specimens. In the case of $H_3BO_3$ addition, the bulk density and dielectric constant were decreased but quality factor was increased with amount of $H_3BO_3$ additions. The TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3+xwt%H_3BO_3$ ceramics were moved to positive direction. In another case, SnO addition, the bulk density and dielectric constant were increased but Quality factor was decreased with amount of SnO additions. The TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$+ywt%SnO ceramics were shifted to negative direction. The dielectric constant, quality factor and TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramics with $2wt%H_3BO_3$ and 2.5wt%SnO sintered at $830^{\circ}C$ for 1h, were 28.5, 39,570GHz, $+9.34ppm/^{\circ}C$ and 29.86, 35,80000z, $-0.58ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The effects of $MnO_2$ and $Cr_2O_3$ on the Piezoelectrictric properties of Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)0.3 Ti0.4 Zr0.3O3 Ceramics. Electromechanical properties in the system in connection with the sintering temperature and the effects of $MnO_2$ and $Cr_2O_3$ addition. The dielectric constant of the ceramics decreased with the additions of $MnO_2$ while the additions of $Cr_2O_3$ increased the value. The Planar coupling factor (Kp) of the ceramics with 0.2wt% $MnO_2$ and with 0.2wt% $Cr_2O_3$ gave the highest value of 0.52 and 0.513 as sintered at 106$0^{\circ}C$, 108$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The value of mechanical Q-factor were in parallel with the fired density of the ceramics. The optical micrography of the sintered bodies showed that the additions of $MnO_2$ promoted the grain growth, while the additions of $Cr_2O_3$ retarded the grain growth.
