For the pressure compaction process of the ceramic powder, the green density is very different with both the ceramic body shape and the processing conditions. The density difference cause non-uniform shrinkages and deformations, and make cracks in the sintered ceramics. In this paper, Material properties of the alumina powder mixed with binder and the friction coefficient between the powder and the tool set were determined through the simple compaction experiments: Also the powder flow characteristics were simulated and the green density was analyzed during the powder compaction process with Finite Element Method (FEM). The results show that the density distributions of the green body were improved at the optimized processing condition and both the possibility of the farming crack generation and rho deformation of the sintered Alumina body were reduced.

Amorphous GaN Quantum dots(a-GaN QDs) with particle diameters less than bohr radius(~11nm) were successfully fabricated at room temperature by a laser ablation of high densified GaN target. Transmission electron microscopy, SAED diffraction pattern and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of a-GaN QDs with particle size of 7.9, 6.9, 4.4nm under the Ar gas pressures of 50, 100 and 200 Pa, respectively. The room temperature PL and absorbance spectra showed a strong band emission centered at 3.9 eV in a-GaN QDs made under the gas pressures of 100 and 200 Pa, which is nearly 0.5eV blueshifted with respect to the bulk crystal band gap.

Zirconia gel fibers were fabricated by sol-gel processing using zirconium alkoxides and 2, 4-pentanedione. Their phase transformation and microstructural evolution were studied after heat treatments up to 150$0^{\circ}C$. Tetragonal ZrO2 began to form at 50$0^{\circ}C$ and followed by monoclinic, tetragonal phase during subsequent heat treatments at 1000, 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hour respectively. During cooling from 150$0^{\circ}C$, cracks were created, propagated along grain boundaries due to the volume change from tetragonal to monoclinic transformation.

Diatomite powder, a naturally occurring porous raw material, was used to make ceramic materials with porosity and high strength. The sintering behavior of the diatomite powder at various sintering temperatures suggests that diatomite monoliths with a high porosity and strength can be prepared at $1100^{\circ}C$. The compressive strength of the sintered diatomite monoliths increased as the sintering temperature increased, and the molding pressure of 2 MPa and the binder of 18.6 wt.% were excellent. When the sintering temperature rises, the diatomite powder is melted, and its pores gradually disappear. SEM images show that strengthening begins with the formation of inter-particle bonds at a low sintering temperature.

Piezoelectric 0.93(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.07BiTiO3 (NKN-BTO) ceramics were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method and their structural and dielectric properties was investigated with the variation of sintering temperature. All specimens were crystallized in the perovskite single phase without any formation of a second phase such as pyrochlore. The average grain size of the NKN-BTO specimen sintered at 1130 ℃ is 0.32 ㎛. The specimen sintered at 1100 ℃ showed the highest relative density of 98%. Electromechanical coupling factor, relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the NKN-BTO specimens sintered at 1110 ℃ were 0.31, 1222 and 0.02, respectively. Curie temperature of the specimen sintered at 1110 ℃ was 445 ℃.

Lead-free (Bi0.5Na0.41K0.09)TiO3 (BNKT) multilayer ceramic actuators were prepared using tape-casting and screen-printing techniques. Co-firing behavior of BNKT/AgPd laminates was examined as a function of sintering temperature. It was found that co-firing induced bending and electrical properties were very sensitive to sintering condition. By optimizing sintering conditions, lead-free electrostrictive multilayer actuators with normalized strain Smax/Emax of 266 pm/V have been successfully fabricated, which is promising for lead-free actuator applications.

Thermal protection systems (TPS) are a group of materials that are indispensable for protecting spacecraft from the aerodynamic heating occurring during entry into an atmosphere. Among candidate materials for TPS, ceramic insulation materials are usually considered for reusable TPS. In this study, ceramic insulation materials, such as alumina enhanced thermal barrier (AETB), are fabricated via typical ceramic processing from ceramic fiber and additives. Mixtures of silica and alumina fibers are used as raw materials, with the addition of B4C to bind fibers together. Reaction-cured glass is also added on top of AETB to induce water-proof functionality or high emissivity. Some issues, such as the elimination of clumps in the AETB, and processing difficulties in the production of reusable surface insulation are reported as well.

The recent advances and popularity of 3D printing technology have centered around building polymerbased 'plastic' materials, due to their low cost, simple and efficient processing, and mechanical toughness. For this reason, printable polymers are actively recruited to create 'ceramic resins' that allow more facile fabrication of ceramic materials that are difficult to print directly. Herein, a brief history and the current state of ceramic 3D printing technology aided by polymer is summarized. In addition, a new ceramic 3D printing technology using polymer-derived ceramics (PDC) is also introduced.

Langasite($La_3Ga_5SiO_14$) is a new piezoelectric material which is similar to quartz, LN($LiNbO_3$) and LT($LiTaO_3$) in its acoustic behavior. In this study, pure Langasite and Lagnasite family groups were synthesized by the solid state reactions in air. The diffusion species for synthesis were investigated and the sintered body was studied on dielectric property to comparison of characteristics. Also, Langasite single crystals were grown by self-designed Czochralski system and characterized.

Plasma display panel is a potential candidate for HDTV, due to the fact that the screen size can easily be increased by a thick film technology. In this study, transparent dielectric materials which satisfied the requirements of dielectrics for PDP was developed using lead alumina borosilicate glasses. The Paste which had thixotropic behavior suitable for screen printing was made of this glass composition. the paste became more thixotropic as the particle size decreased. After firing, the cross sectional area of the thick film was analyzed by SEM. The voids in the thick film were removed using bimodal particle system. The dielectric thick film showed good adhesion characteristics.
