Si3N4-TiC composites have been known as electrically conductive ceramics. $Si_3N_4-TiC$ composites with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$ and 4 wt% $Y_2O_3$ were hot pressed in $N_2$ environment. The mechanical properties including hardness, fracture toughness, and flexural strength and tribological properties were investigated as a function of TiC content. $Si_3N_4-40$ vol% TiC composite was hot pressed at $1,750^{\circ}C$, $1,800^{\circ}C$, and $1,850^{\circ}C$ for 1, 3 and 5 hours in $N_2$ gas. Mechanical and tribolgical properties depended on microstructures, which were controlled by hte TiC content, hot press temperature, and hot press holding time. However, mechanical properties and tribological behaviors were degraded by the chemical reaction between TiC and N. The chemically reacted products such as TiCN, SiC, and $SiO_2$ were detered by the X-ray diffraction analysis.

TiZrB2 solid solution was synthesized using fine powders of Ti, Zr and B by SHS microwave process. The characterization of the synthesized powder and sintered bodies ws investigated. The combustion temperature and rate were increased with increasing the mole ratio of Zr in temperature profile, and showed the maximum combustion temperature and velocity values of 285$0^{\circ}C$ and 14.6mm/sec in Ti0.2Zr0.8B2 composition. Phase separation has been occured into a composite with TiB2 and ZrB2 phases from TiZrB2 solid solution, which was hot pressed sintering at 30 MPa for an hour at 190$0^{\circ}C$.

In this study, $CeO_2/TiO_2$ nanoparticle with structure of core and shell was synthesized by growing $TiO_2$ onto the surface of $CeO_2$ according to hydrolysis of $Ti(SO_4)_2$. Reaction time, temperature, concentration of $CeO_2$ slurry, pH control of $Ti(SO_4)_2$ were optimized about synthesis of $CeO_2/TiO_2$ core-shell nanoparticle. It was found that optimal mole ratio range of $CeO_2:TiO_2$ was 1:0.2~1.1, the optimal concentration of $CeO_2$ slurry was 1 %, and the optimal reaction temperature was $50^{\circ}C$. The optimal concentration of $CeO_2$ slurry could be increased up to 10 % by adjusting the pH of $Ti(SO_4)_2$ to 1 using $NH_4OH$ and adding to $CeO_2$ slurry. If reaction was carried at $80^{\circ}C$ or higher, the separated $TiO_2$ particles were obtained instead of $CeO_2/TiO_2$ core-shell nanoparticles. The optimal reaction temperature was $50^{\circ}C$ at which good shaped core-shell structure of $CeO_2/TiO_2$ was obtained.

Ternary compound ceramics, (1-y-x) BaTiO$_3$-y SrTiO$_3$-x MgTiO$_3$(0.00 x 0.20), were fabricated by the conventional ceramic process. The structural and dielectric properties of specimens were investigated while varying the composition and sintering temperature(1,200~1,45$0^{\circ}C$) in order to obtain the optimum condition of capacitor. As is well known, Curie temperature(T$_{c}$) of high dielectric-based ceramic(BaTiO$_3$) was shifted and temperature of capacitance was decreased in according to increase of solid solution with (Sr, Mg)TiO$_3$. As a result, a suitable condition of compound rate for capacitor was obtained such as the BSM-11(0.8BaTiO$_3$-0.1SrTiO$_3$-0.1MgTiO$_3$), and sintering temperature was sintered at 1,25$0^{\circ}C$ for two hours. In this case, dielectric constant<1,300, dielectric loss(tan$\delta$)<0.03, and the variation rate of capacitance had less than 3% in the range -10~7$0^{\circ}C$.>.

[ $SrTiO_3$ ] is usually added as shifters in order to move the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$ to lower temperatures because it is well established that the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$ decreases linearly with a solid solution of $Sr^{+2}$ in place of $Ba^{+2}$. It is not fully understood yet, however, how $SrTiO_3$ influences on the peak value of the dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_{max})$ at the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$. This research reports the effect of $SrTiO_3$ addition on εmax at the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics. Based on the chemical composition and the grain size dependence of the dielectric property of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics, functionally graded $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ composites were designed and fabricated. Multi-layered $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ composites with a compositional gradient of $SrTiO_3$ exhibited a low temperature coefficient and high dielectric constant in a wide temperature range.

Titanium carbide (TiC) reinforced SKD11 matrix composites were successfully fabricated by a novel liquid pressing infiltration process. Microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear characteristics of the fabricated 60 vol% TiC-SKD11 composite are analyzed. The composite exhibits superior mechanical properties, such as hardness and compressive strength with 24% lower density as compared with SKD11. Improved wear resistance of the TiC-SKD11 composite originates from uniformly reinforced TiC having strong interfacial bonding strength between TiC/SKD11 interface.

Ti₃C₂T_x MXene, which is a representative of the two-dimensional MXene family, is attracting considerable attention due to its remarkable physicochemical and mechanical properties. Despite its strengths, however, it is known to be vulnerable to oxidation. Many researchers have investigated the oxidation behaviors of the material, but most researches were conducted at high temperatures above 500 ℃ in an oxidation-retarding environment. In this research, we studied changes in the structural and electrical properties of Ti₃C₂T_x MXene induced by low-temperature heat treatments in ambient conditions. It was found that a number of TiO₂ particles were formed on the MXene surface when it was mildly heated to 200 ℃. Heating the material to higher temperatures, up to 400 ℃, the phase transformation of Ti₃C₂T_x MXene to TiO₂ was accelerated, resulting in a TiO₂/Ti₃C₂T_x hybrid. Consequently, the metallic nature of pure Ti₃C₂T_x MXene was transformed to semiconductive behavior upon heat-treating at ≥ 200 ℃. The results of this research clearly demonstrate that Ti₃C₂T_x MXene may be easily oxidized even at low temperatures once it is exposed to air.

Ta and Hf added Ti-l5Sn-4Nb alloys without V and Al elements for biomaterial were melted by arc furnace in response to recent concerns about the long term safety of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. All specimens were homogenized at $1000^{\circ}C$ and solution treatment was performed at $812^{\circ}C$ and aging treatment at $500^{\circ}C$. The microstructure and mechanical properties were analysed by optical micrograph, hardness tester and instron. Ti-l5Sn-4Nb system alloys showed widmanstatten microstructure which is typical microstructure in $\alpha$＋$\beta$ type Ti alloys. The Ti-l5Sn-4Nb-2Hf and Ti-l5Sn-4Nb-2Ta alloys showed better hardness and tensile strength compared with Ti-6Al-4V. The result of XPS analysis, Ti-l5Sn-4Nb alloy in air atmosphere consisted of $TiO_2$, SnO and NbO.

The pretreatment of tungsten added $BaTiO_x$ ceramics was performed to improve the recovery of Ba, Ti and W. $BaTiO_x$ ceramics were digested with HF : HCl ( 1 : 2 ) mixture in an acid digestion bomb at $220^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs. The concentration of Ba, Ti and W were determined by ICP-AES. Recoveries of Ba, Ti and W were 99.6%, 99.8% and 99.2%, respectively. And their C.V. values were 1.02%, 0.73% and 1.79%. Using this method, the analytical results of Ba, Ti and W for a real sample were obainted to be 25.9% (w/w), 38.8% (w/w) and 3.31% (w/w), respectively.

전자빔 증착법 (e-beam evaporation)를 이용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막과 $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중박막을 제조한 후, $800^{\circ}C$ 공기 중에서 열처리하여, 알루미나 층의 유무에 따른 두 박막의 전기전도 특성과 100 ppm CO 가스에 대한 반응 특성을 고찰하였다. 알루미나 층이 증착되지 않은 순수한 $TiO_2$ 박막의 전기 전도도 (in dry air)는 $100^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에서 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 알루미나 층이 증착된 $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중막보다 높은 전도도를 나타내고 있으나, 약 $300^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중막의 전기 전도도가 급격히 증가하여 $TiO_2$ 박막의 전기전도도 보다 더 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 온도에 따른 CO 가스 감도(sensitivity)는 $TiO_2$ 박막의 경우 $400^{\circ}C$까지는 서서히 증가하여 그 이상의 온도에서 급격히 감소하였으나, $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중막은 $250^{\circ}C$에서 감도가 급격히 증가하여 최대값을 나타내었으며, $350^{\circ}C$에서 감도가 급격히 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다.
