알루미나를 대상소재로 하여 국산 3종 및 일산 1종의 고순도 알루미나 제품을 구입하여 꺾임강도, 비커스 경도, 압자압입법 및 압입강도법에 의한 파괴인성 등의 기계적 물성을 평가하였다. 꺾임강도 및 와이블 계수는 제조회사에 따라 각각 약 300~400MPa, 5~15의 범위에서 큰 편차를 나타내었다. 압입하중 변화에 따른 경도시험시 탄성회복의 영향을 무시할 수 있는 임계하중은 약 9.8N이었으며, 압입하중 98N에서의 알루미나의 경도는 약 15GPa이었다. 파괴인성은 한 압입하중에서의 측정한 평균값으로 파괴인성을 구하는 것보다 압자압입법의 경우 압입하중과 균열길이, 압입강도법의 경우 압입하중과 꺾임강도와 관계식의 기울기로부터 각각 직선회기법으로 파괴인성을 구하는 것이 보다 신뢰성이 있으며, 알루미나의 파괴인성은 약 4 MPa·m1/2이었다.

Tribological properties of nanoporous structured alumina film was investigated. Alumina film (AAO: anodic aluminum oxide) of $60{\mu}m$ thickness having nanopores of 45 nm diameter with 105 nm interpore-diatance was fabricated by mild anodization process. Reciprocating ball-on-flat sliding friction tests using 1 mm diameter steel ball as a counterpart were carried out with wide range of normal load from 1 mN to 1 N in an ambient environment. The morphology of worn surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The friction coefficient was strongly influenced by the applied normal load. Smooth layer patches were formed on the worn surface of both AAO and steel ball at relatively high load (100 mN and 1 N) due to tribochemical reaction and compaction of wear debris. These tribolayers contributed to the lower friction at high loads. Extremely thin layer patches, due to mild plastic deformation of surface layer, were sparsely distributed on the worn surface of AAO at low loads (1 mN and 10 mN) without the evidence of tribochemical reaction. Delaminated wear particles were generated at high loads by fatigue due to repeated loading and sliding.

높은 선택도와 투과도를 가진 분리막이 요구되지만 선택도가 높은 막은 투과도가 낮은 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 적절한 선택도를 유지하면서 높은 투과도를 갖는 분리막을 제조하기 위하여 다공성 알루미나막을 실란커플링제로 코팅하였다. 코팅된막에 대한 물의 접촉각은 90$^{\circ}$ 이상이었으며, 큰 소수성을 가짐을 의미하기 때문에 에탄올, 이소프로판올, 부탄을 수용액의 농축을 위한 증기투과실험을 수행하였다. 공급액중의 알코을 농도가 증가함에 따라 투과도가 증가하였으며, 이는 물에 비하여 코팅된 막에 대한 에탄올, 이소프로판올, 부탄올의 친화도가 크기 때문으로 판단된다. 코팅된 알루미나막의 투과도는 고분자막의 투과도에 비하여 20~1000배로 크게 나타났다.

Recently UV laser is widely used to process micro parts using various materials such as polymers, metals and ceramics because it has a very high intensity at the focused spot area. It is generally known that there are still some difficulties for alumina($Al_2O_3$) ceramics to directly make micro patterns like holes and lines on the surface of working material using 355nm UV laser because the alumina has a very low absorption coefficient at that wavelength. But nowadays new alumna with nano-porous holes is developed and applied to advanced micro functional parts of IT, BT and BT industries. In this paper, we are going to show the mechanism of photo-thermal ablation for nano-porous ceramics. Inside hole there is a lot of multiple reflections along the depth of hole. Experimentally we can find the micro hole drilling and micro grooving on the surface of nano-porous alumina.

$ Na^+$-beta-alumina 고체전해질을 고상반응법을 통해 합성하였으며, 두 종류의 안정화제 $Li_2O$와 MgO가 상 형성 및 소결밀도에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 합성온도에 따른 ${\beta}/{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina 상 분율 분석을 위해, [$Na_2O$] : [$Al_2O_3$] = 1 : 5의 고정된 몰 비에서 하소온도를 $1200{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$로 변화하여, 각각 2 h동안 하소하였다. $Li_2O$를 안정화제로 사용한 경우에는 $1500^{\circ}C$에서 2차 상 전이가 발생해 ${\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina 상 분율의 증가가 나타났지만, MgO를 첨가했을 때는 하소온도에 관계없이 상 분율이 유지되었다. 또한 disc 형태의 $Na^+$-beta-alumina 샘플을 $1550{\sim}1650^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 각각 30 min 소결한 후 상대 소결밀도, 상 변화 및 미세구조를 분석하였다. $Li_2O$를 안정화제로 사용하였을 때, 소결온도 $1600^{\circ}C$에서 ${\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-상 분율과 상대밀도가 각각 94.7%와 98%로 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, MgO를 안정화제로 사용하였을 경우, 소결온도의 증가에 따라 상대밀도가 크게 증가하는 결과를 보였다.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) powders were synthesized by using a mixture of an aluminum nitrate or sulfate salt and carbon (mole ratio of $Al^{3+}$ to carbon=L : 30). The AlN was obtained by calcining the mixture under a flow of nitrogen in the temperature range 1100-1$600^{\circ}C$ and then burning out the residual carbon. The process of conversion of the salt to AlN was monitored by XRD and $^{27}$ Al magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The salt decomposed to ${\gamma}$-alumina and then converted to AlN without phase transition from ${\gamma}$-to-$\alpha$-alumina. $^{27}$ Al MAS NMR spectroscopy shows that the formation of AlN commenced at 110$0^{\circ}C$. AlN powders obtained from the sulfate salt were superior to those from the nitrate salt in terms of homogeneity and crystallinity. A very small amount of AlN whiskers was obtained by calcining a mixture of an aluminum sulfate salt and carbon at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 h, and the growth of the whiskers is well explained by the particle-to-particle self-assembly mechanism.

Spherical alumina gel powders were produced by hydrolysis of aluminum sec-butoxide (Al(sec-OC4H9)3) in a n-octanol/acetonitrile mixed solvent. The enlargement of particle size was induced by increasing HPC (hydroypropylcellulose) concentration (0.005, 0.1, and 0.05 g/ι) and emulsion-state aging time (10 min and 360 min). Mean particle sizes of dried alumina gel powders increased from 1.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 3.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ at 10-min emulsion-state aging time and from 1.9${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 4.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ at 360-min emulsion-state aging time as HPC concentration increased from 0.005 g/ι to 0.05 g/ι. At the same HPC concentration, particle size of dried alumina gel powder increased with increasing of emulsion-state aging time from 10 min to 360 min. The increase in the average particle size of dried alumina gel powder with increase in HPC concentration was interpreted as the enlargement of particles from alkoxide emulsions unprotected by HPC. The produced dried gel powder calcined at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for one hour transformed to $\alpha$-alumina.

GMS(generalized Maxwell Stefan) 모형을 이용하여 나노기공성 TPABr (Tetrapropylammoniumbromide) templating 실리카/알루미나 복합막에서 $CO_2$와 $N_2$의 투과 및 분리 특성을 해석하였다. 담체로 쓰이는 메조포러스 알루미나 지지체에서의 기체 투과는 누슨 확산 (Knudsen diffusion) 및 점성 확산 (viscous diffusion 혹은 Poiseuille flow)에 의존하였으며, 이러한 투과메커니즘은 DGM (dusty gas model)을 통하여 규명할 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용한 복합막의 분리 특성을 결정 짖는 TPABr templating silica layer의 경우 강한 흡착 특성으로 인하여, 기공 확산보다는 표면 확산(surface diffusion)을 나타내었다. 따라서 GMS 모형을 통해 다성분계의 표면 확산 투과/분리 메커니즘을 성공적으로 해석할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 복합무기막에서는 흡착량과 표면 확산 현상이 복합적으로 일어나기 때문에, 강흡착질인 $CO_2$와 비교적 약흡착질인 $N_2$ 혼합물 분리에 있어, $CO_2$의 pore-blocking 현상으로 인해 $CO_2$가 투과 농축되었다.

Dental ceramics have good aesthetics, biocompatibility, low thermal conductivity, abrasion resistance, and color stability. However poor resistance to fracture and shrinkage during firing process have been limiting factors in their use, particularly in multiunit ceramic restorations. A new method for making all-ceramic crowns that have high strength and low processing shrinkage has been developed and is referred to as the Vita In-Ceram method. This study was performed to investigate the effect of $CeO_2$ addition in borosilicate glasses on the strength of alumina-glass composites. Porous alumina compacts were prepared by slip casting and sintered at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Dense composites were made by infiltration of molten glass into partially sintered alumina at $1,140^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. Specimens were polished sequentially from #800 to #2000 diamond disk. and the final surface finishing on the tensile side was received an additional polishing sequence through $1{\mu}m$ diamond paste. Biaxial flexure test was conducted by using ball-on-three-ball method at a crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min. To examine the microstructural aspect of crack propagation in the alumina-glass composites, Vickers-produced indentation crack was made on the tensile surface at a load of 98.0 N and dwell time of 15 sec, and the radial crack patterns were examined by an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The porosity rates of partially sintered alumina decreased with the rising of firing temperature. 2. The maximum biaxial flexure strength of 423.5MPa in alumina-glass composites was obtained with an addition of 3 mol% $CeO_2$ in glass composition and strength values showed the aspect of decrease with the increase of $CeO_2$ content. 3 The biaxial flexure strength values of alumina-glass composites were decreased with rising the firing temperature. 4. Observation of the fracture surfaces of alumina-glass composites indicated that the enhancement of strength in alumina-glass composites was due to the frictional or geometrical inter-locking of rough fracture surfaces and ligamentary bridging by intact islands of materials left behind the fracture front.
