Sol-gel processing of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics doped with La(0.01-1.00 at. $\%$) were prepared from metal barium, titanium n-butoxide and lanthanum iso-propoxide. Characterization of the sol-gel-derived powder using XRD, SEM is also reported. The obtained results showed that insulator to semiconductor transition for highly donor-doped barium titanate was closely related to the incorporation of donor into the grains and to the resultant grain size, which were significantly affected by the sinterability of $BaTiO_3$ powders and sintering conditions used.

ZrO2/Al2O3-Mullite composites were prepared by infiltration of the silica sol to the porous ZrO2/Al2O3 bodies. The porous ZrO2/Al2O3 bodies for infiltration were fabricated using ZrO2 (20wt%)/Al2O3 composite powders synthesized by the emulsion-hot kerosene drying method. The preparation of silica sols was conducted by the hydrolysis-peptization of an alcoholic TEOS solution. When ZrO2/Al2O3-Mullite and ZrO2/Al2O3 composites were sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs, both of them showed an excellent sinterability. As the amount of mullite added in the composites increased, the ratio of the tetragonal phase of zirconia to the monoclinic phase at the room temperature became higher. It was known that values of the fracture toughness of the ZrO2/Al2O3-Mullite composites were about 5.48 MPa.m1/2 much larger than that of the ZrO2/Al2O3 system.

Fine AlN powder was synthesized by carbothermal reduction and nitridation of alumimun hydroxide prepared from Al-isopropoxide. AlN ceramics with Y2O3 and CaO were prepared by hot-pressing under the pressure of 30 MPa at 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in N2 atmosphere. Grain boundary behavior and purification mechanism of AlN lattice were examined by heat treatment of AlN ceramics at 185$0^{\circ}C$ for 1-6 h in N2 atmosphere. AlN ceramics without sintering additives showed poor sinterability. However, Y2O3-doped and CaO-doped AlN ceramics were fully densified nearly to theoretical density. As the heat treatment time increased, c-axis lattice parameter increased. This is attributed to the removal of Al2O3 in AlN lattice. This purification effect of AlN attice depended upon the quantity of secondary oxide phase in the inintial stage of heat treatment and the heat treatment time.

The powder characterization and sintering behavior of alkoxide-derived alumina powders prepared by esterification were investigated. The dried powders were calcined at 700$^{\circ}C$, 900$^{\circ}C$, 1080$^{\circ}C$, 1170$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. and the resulting crystalline forms were amorphous, {{{{ gamma }} phase, {{{{ theta }}+{{{{ alpha }} phase, and {{{{ alpha }} phase, respectively. The sinterability was best in the case of being calcined at 1170$^{\circ}C$. It was most effective to disperse sintering additive in the initial stage from which acetate was formed. At 1600$^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, 98.5% of relative density was obtained when MgO and Fe2O3 were simultaneously doped, and dense sintered body whose density was near theoretical value was obtained when heating schedule was controlled.

In the present study, the effect of TiB2 addition on the sintering behavior of ZrB2 ceramics was studied with hot pressing under Ar atmosphere. Hot pressing experiments were carried out in graphite dies at the 1$700^{\circ}C$, 180$0^{\circ}C$ under Ar atmosphere. The sintering density increased with increasing TiB2 contents. With the addition of 10wt% TiB2 almost theoretical density could be achieved by hot-pressing at 180$0^{\circ}C$. Zr-Ti-Fe-B compound in liquid phase was observed from the EDS and WDS analysis. It was considered that sinterability was enhanced due to the mass transfer through liquid phase formed at the sintering temperature. In addition of TiB2, transition metal of groups IV, substitutional solid solution could be formed.

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured and their microstructure, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. By increasing sintering temperature, remanent polarization$(P_r)$ was increased due to the increase of sinterability and grain size. However, coercive $field(E_c)$ showed an opposite tendency to remanent polarization owing to the feasibility of domain wall motion. At the sintering temperature of $900^{\circ}C$, dielectric $constant({\varepsilon}_r)$, electromechanical coupling $factor(k_p)$, piezoelectric $constant(d_{33})$ and mechanical quality $factor(Q_m)$ showed the optimal value of 1095, 0.60, 363 and 1055, respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

Zirconia-toughnened alumina(ZTA) powders that were uniformly coated with zirconia and yttria on the surface of alumina particles were prepared in order to inhibit the grain growth of alumina. Alumina particles were ultrasonically dispersed in the ethanol solution of Zr-n-propoxide, and then the Zr-alkoxide was hydrolyzed. Hydrated zironia as thin film was stabilized to tetragonal crystalline form by doping yttria as a stabilizer. The prepared ZTA powders had the good sinterability even at the lower temperature. As a result, the sintered bodies showed the enhanced fracture toughness compared with pure alumina. The relative density and fracture toughness(KIC) of the ZTA bodies sintered at 1550$^{\circ}C$ were 98% and 5 MPa$.$m1/2 respectively.

The investigation was carried out to study the behaviors of the pore size and porosity, the mechanical strength, the resistance to thermal spallings and slag attacks according to particle sizes of starting raw materials in porous high Alumina ceramics. This porous ceramics have been used in processing of the clean steel by the blowing of the inert gas. The required properties in the practice are the suitable pores size, the sharp pores distribution for a uniform blowing of the gas, the strong corrosion resistance to slags and molten metals and the resistance to thermal spalling. The optimized properties in porous high alumina ceramics of the specimen No. 3 was found to be the very low slag intrusion and the superior resistance to thermal spalling because of the suitable pore size of 2.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, the porosity of 30% and the high sinterability.

Effects of CaO on microwave dielectric properties of (Ba, Pb)O-Nd2O3-TiO2 ceramic ystem were investigated. As the content of CaO increases, the sintered bulk density decreases due to the decrease of sinterability. However, with increasing the sintering tmperature, the relative dielectric constants increases. This has been attributed on the formation of the 2nd phase inclusion, TiO2(rutile). The Q values increase due to the compensation effect of Ca ions up to 1 wt%, and then decrease due to the interfacial relaxation effects. The temperature coefficient of resonance frequency increases to a positive direction with increasing the amounts of CaO.
