타일의 내마모성과 내산성을 향상시키기 위해 결정화유리가 최근에 새로운 유약 재료로서 소개되고 있다. 신 유약의 연구에 사용된 조성은 $Ca_2$ZrSi$_4$O$_{12}$ 상에 근접하는 CaO-ZrO$_2$-SiO$_2$계의 유리조성의 분말로, 마이크로파 가열 (2.45 GHz)에 의해서 900-120$0^{\circ}C$의 0-20분간 소성되어 평가되었다. 그 결과, 100$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 소성한 시편은 내부 결정화를 나타내었으며, 결정상은 미세(5$mu extrm{m}$)한 크기를 갖는 $Ca_2$ZrSi$_4$O$_{12}$가 주 결정상이며, $Ca_2$ZrSi$_4$O$_{12}$, CaSiO$_3$, SiO$_2$의 세 상이 나타났다. 소결체의 미세구조는 사용한 유리분말의 입도의 영향을 받았다. 미세분말 (<38$\mu\textrm{m}$)을 이용한 소결체의 조직이 조세분말 (45-150$\mu\textrm{m}$)의 경우보다 수축율면에서 높았으며 낮은 기공도를 갖는 미세구조를 가졌다. 마이크로파에 의한 유리분말의 소성은 1000-120$0^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 10분 이내 결정화가 완료되는 급속 가열 공정이었으며 CaO-ZrO$_2$-SiO$_2$계 결정화 유리 제조에 균일한 체적가열을 할 수 있었다.

To improve the polarization property of cathodes, which is the main factor limiting the performance of protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs), $K_2NiF_4-type$ $Pr_2NiO_{4+{\delta}}$, which is expected to exhibit a triple conducting property (proton, oxygen ion, and hole conductions) was applied to PCFCs and its properties were investigated. Low-temperature microwave heat-treatment was used to achieve both sufficient interface adhesion between the electrolyte and the cathode layers and suppression of the secondary phase formation due to migration of elements such as barium and cerium. Through this fabrication method, a high performance of $0.82W{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ and low ohmic resistance of $0.06{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ were obtained in an $Ni-BaCe_{0.55}Zr_{0.3}Y_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$ | $BaCe_{0.55}Zr_{0.3}Y_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$ | $Pr_2NiO_{4+{\delta}}$ single cell at $650^{\circ}C$. This result verifies that the $K_2NiF_{4+{\delta}}-type$ cathode shows good chemical compatibility which, in turn, will make it a potent candidate as a PCFC cathode.

The effect of NiO addition on the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of (Zr$_{0.8}$Sn$_{0.2}$)TiO$_4$(ZST) was investigated. With the NiO addition, a dense ZST body of density higher than 95% has been achieved in the sintering temperature range of 1400 to 150$0^{\circ}C$. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) analysis of sintered specimen shows the presence of second phase at grain boundaries, which is considered to be NiTiO$_3$. Dielectric constant of the specimen is found to increase linearly with density. Q-values and TC$_{f}$decrease with increasing NiO content. The variation of dielectric properties with NiO content is discussed in term of the second phase. The ZST ceramics with small amount of additive gave $\varepsilon$$_{r}$=38, Q=7000 at 7 GHz and TC$_{f}$=-0.5 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, comparable with the values obtained by previous investigation.stigation.

The effects of Mn2O3 and Y2O3 additives on the microstructure and dielectric properties of Sr(Zr, Ti)O3 have been investigated. Powders with Sr(Zr1-xTix)O3(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.1) composition were prepared by the conventional solid state processing from commercial TiO2 and precipitation-processed ZrO2. The powders containing sintering additives of Mn2O3 and Y2O3 were compacted and then sintered at 1,55$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 h to get>97% relative density. Mn2O3 suppressed the grain growth and Y2O3 enhanced the density of sintered body. The oxidation state of Mn ions were determined by a chemical wet method and EPR spectroscopy. Mn ions were present as Mn2+ and Mn4+ in SrZrO3, while as Mn3+ and Mn4+ in Ti-substituted Sr(Zr, Ti)O3. With the substitution of Ti, the lattice parameters of SrZrO3 decreased and its dielectric constant increased with remarkable decrease in Q value. The dielectric constant of Sr(Zr, Ti)O3 was in the range of 30 to 40, Q values 1,200~5,400 at 6 GHz and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency -67~100 ppm/K.

$ZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics were sintered under the presence of zinc-borosilicate(ZBS) glass and resultant microwave dielectric properties were investigated with a view to applying the composition to LTCC technology. The addition of 10~30 wt% ZBS glass ensured successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. In general, increased addition of ZBS glass increased sinterability but it decreased the dielectric properties significantly due to the formation of an excessive liquid and second phases. The sintered $ZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics at $900^{\circ}C$ with 25 wt% ZBS glass demonstrated 15.8 in dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$), 5,400 in quality factor($Q{\times}f_0$), and $-98\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ in temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$).

We studied the physical properties of $Co_3$$O_4$-added Ni-Zn ferrite which were sintered at 1050~110$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. X-ray diffraction showed a spinel structure, and optical microscopy showed grain sizes of 5 to 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$. As the sintering temperature was increased from $1050^{\circ}C$ to $1070^{\circ}C$, the initial permeability and magnetic induction increased, and both of the loss factor and the coercive force decreased. The Curie temperatures were about $^234~245{\circ}C$ with added $Co_3$$O_4$. The initial permeability was 350 to 420 and maximum magnetic induction density and coercive force 4870G to 4980G and 0.15 Oe to 0.21 Oe, respectively which were similar to those of Ni-Zn ferrite synthesized in the conventional process. The frequency of specimen was in the range of 1MHz to 300MHz. In the plot of initial permeability vs. frequencies, a $180^{\circ}C$ rotation of the magnetic domain could be perceived in a broad band of microwave before and after the resonance frequency.

In this study, a new LTCC material using $ZnWO_4$-LiF system was attempted with respect to use as a capacitor layer in Front-End Module. Pure $ZnWO_4$ must be sintered above $1050^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain up to 98% of full density. It's measured dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 15.5, 74380GHz, and $-70ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively. LiF addition resulted in an liquid phase formation at $810^{\circ}C$ due to interaction between $ZnWO_4$ and LiF. Therefore $ZnWO_4$ with 0.5~1.5wt% LiF could be densified at $850^{\circ}C$. Addition of LiF slightly lowered the dielectric constant from 15.5 to 14.2~15. In the given LiF addition range, the sintering shrinkage increased with increasing LiF content. $Q{\times}fo$ value, however, decreased with increasing LiF content(or increasing densification). This is originated from the interaction between the liquid phase and $ZnWO_4$ and inhomogeneity of grain morphology.

In this study, low temperature sintering property of (1-x)$TiTe_{3}O_{8}-xMgTiO_{3}$ ceramics were investigated for LTCC application which enable to cofiring with Ag electrode. $TiTe_{3}O_{8}$ mixed with $MgTiO_3$ to improve the temperature property. In the X-ray diffraction patterns, the columbite structure of $TiTe_{3}O_{8}$ phase and ilmenite structure of $MgTiO_3$ phase were coexisted in all specimens. The bulk densities and dielectric constants were decreased with increasing of $MgTiO_3$. However, the quality factors were increased with $MgTiO_3$ addition. Also, TCRF was shifted to negative(-) direction. Microwave dielectric properties of (1-x)$TiTe_{3}O_{8}-xMgTiO_{3}$ ceramics had similar tendency with calculated value by the mixing rule. The dielectric constant, quality factor and TCRF of $05TiTe_{3}O_{8}-0.5MgTiO_{3}$ ceramics sintered at $830^{\circ}C$ for 3h. were 26.19, 43,290GHz and $-3.9ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.
