$Gd_2O_3$:Eu phosphor particles were prepared by largescale ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process. The morphological control of $Gd_2O_3$:Eu particles in spray pyrolysis was performed by adding polymeric precursors into spray solution containing nitrate salts. The effect of composition and amount of polymeric precursors on the morphology, crystallinity, and photoluminescence characteristics of $Gd_2O_3$:Eu particles was investigated. The influence of chain length of PEG on the morphology and photoluminescence intensity was investigated. $Gd_2O_3$:Eu particles prepared from aqueous solution containing no polymeric precursors had a hollow structure and rough surfaces after annealing process. The phosphor particles prepared from solution containing 0.1M CA and 0.lM PEG with high molecular weight as 1,500 had a spherical and filled morphology and the highest photoluminescence intensity, which was 48% higher than that of the $Y_2O_3$:Eu commercial product.

SiAlON-based ceramics are some of the most typical ceramic materials used as cutting tools for HRSA(Heat Resistant Super-Alloys). SiAlON can be fabricated using ceramic processing, such as mixing, granulation, compaction, and sintering. Spray drying is a widely-used method for producing a granular powder of controlled morphology and size with flowability. In this study, we report a systematic investigation aimed at optimizing spherical granule morphology by controlling spray-drying parameters such as gas flow and feed rate. Before spray drying, the viscosities of the raw material slurries were also optimized with the amount of dispersant added.

This study investigated the effects of ball mill operation condition on the morphology of raw powders in the dry-type milling process using three types of ball mills traditional ball mill, stirred ball mill and planetary ball mill. Furthermore, since spherical powders offer the best combination of high hardness and high density, the optimum milling condition to produce sphere-shaped powders was studied. The applied rotation speed ranged from 200rpm (low rotation speed) to 700rpm (high rotation speed). The used ball size ranged from 1mm to 5mm. The metal powder morphology was studied using SEM, XRD and PSA. The aimed spherical powders could be obtained under the optimum experimental conditions: traditional ball mill(200rpm, 1mm ball), planetary ball mill (500rpm, 1mm ball) and also planetary ball mill (700rpm, 1 and 3 mm ball). The results show to the development of new material using spherical type copper powder/CNT composites for air-craft and automotive applications.

Spherical NiO-YSZ particles were synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP). The morphology of the synthesized particles can be modified by controlling parameters such as precursor pH, carrier-gas flow-rate, and temperature of the heating zone. The synthesized spherical NiO-YSZ particles have rough surface morphology at high carrier-gas flow-rates due to rapid gas exhaustion and insufficient particle ordering. The Ni-YSZ cermet anode synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at a flow rate of l L/min, with precursor solution at pH4, showed a higher maximum power density of 256 $mW/cm^2$ compared to a conventionally mixed Ni-YSZ anode (185 $mW/cm^2$) at $800^{\circ}C$. While the area-specific resistance of conventionally mixed Ni-YSZ anodes increases gradually with operation time (indicating performance degradation), the Ni-YSZ anode synthesized by USP does not exhibit any performance degradation, even after 500 h.

Ultrafine particles have been widely used in many high technology industrial areas. The spherical nonagglomerated and uniform nanometer-size $SiO_{2}$ particles are synthesized by the injection of TEOS vapor, ions and reaction gas in furnace. Ions were generated by Corona discharge electrode and these ions charge $SiO_{2}$ particles. As a result, spherical, nonagglomerated and ultrafine particles are generated in various conditions, it's morphology, charging portion and size distribution are examined by using TEM, ESP and SMPS. As the applied voltage of electrode changes from 0 kV to 5.0 kV, it is observed that the mean diameter of $SiO_{2}$ particle decreases from 94 nm to 42 nm.

In this study, zein microparticles and drug-loaded zein microparticles were prepared using supercritical ASES technique. The effects of operating parameters on particle size and morphology were investigated. ASES-processed zein microparticles consisted of agglomerates of very fine unit particles. As temperature increased, the size of unit particles increased and their morphology became more spherical. The addition of water to the solvents for zein resulted in the formation of more spherical microparticles. The release characteristics of drug-loaded zein microparticles were also studied.

The oxide film of silicon wafer has been mainly polished by fumed silica, colloidal silica or ceria slurry. Because colloidal silica slurry is uniform and highly dispersed composed of spherical shape particles, by which the oxide film polished remains to be less scratched in finishing polishing process. Even though the uniformity and spherical shape is advantage for reducing the scratch, it may also be the factor to decrease the removal rate. We have studied the correlation of silica abrasive particles and CMP characteristics by varying pH, down force, and table rotation rate in polishing. It was found that the CMP polishing is dependent on the morphology, aggregation, and the surface property of the silica particles.

We have developed a simple model for describing the non-spherical particle growth phenomena using modified 1-dimensional sectional method. In this model, we solve simultaneously particle volume and surface area conservation sectional equations which consider particles' irregularities. From the correlation between two conserved properties of sections, we can predict the evolution of the aggregates' morphology. We compared this model with a simple monodisperse-assumed model and more rigorous two dimensional sectional model. For the comparison, we simulated silica and titania particle formation and growth in a constant temperature reactor environment. This new model shows a good agreement with the detailed two dimensional sectional model in total number concentration, primary particle size. The present model can also successfully predict particle size distribution and morphology without costing very heavy computation load and memory needed for the analysis of two dimensional aerosol dynamics.

Spherical monosized pure aluminum (Al) particles are successfully fabricated by the pulsated orifice ejection method (POEM). The surface reaction between Al and the graphite crucible is investigated by analysing the microstructure and chemical composition of the materials. No significant chemical reaction occurs between Al and the graphite owing to the crystalline Al oxide (${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$) layer generated in the initial state. The ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ layer is clearly observed in all regions between the Al particles and graphite via transmission electron microscopy and confirmed by the selected area diffraction pattern. The morphology of the ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ layer perfectly follows the surface morphology of the graphite crucible, which showed nanoscale roughness. This implies that molten Al could not directly contact graphite even though the surface of the crucible became rough to some extent. However, this passivation phenomenon allowed the successful fabrication of monosized pure Al particles. Therefore, POEM is a useful process at least to manufacture monosized pure Al particles.
