Pulsed laser ablation in liquid medium was successfully employed to synthesize hydroxyapatite colloidal nanoparticles. The crystalline phase, particle morphology, size distribution and microstructure of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were investigated in detail. The obtained hydroxyapatite nanoparticles had spherical shape with sizes ranging from 5 to 20 nm. The laser ablation and the nanoparticle forming process were discussed with explosive ejection mechanism by investigating change of surface morphology on target. The analytical results of XPS, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy confirms that the stoichiometry and bonding properties of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are in good agreement with reported bulk hydroxyapatite materials.

Continuous synthesis process for monodispersed zirconia powders with ultrasonic wave mixing was developed. Reactant solutions were flowed through a T-tube with small diameter and then mixed in a microscale with ultrasonification. Reaction and aging were followed during the mixed solution of reactants is in plug flowing through a narrow long teflon tubing. Zr(n-OC4H9)4 in ethanol and H2O in ethanol were used as reactants. From this process monodispersed, spherical, non-agglomerated, singlet hydrated zirconia powders with 0.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ average size were obtained. Geometrical standard deviation of the particle size distribution was less than 1.2 with ultrasonic mixing, and the geometrical standard deviation was not affected by the flow rate of the reactants.

This study was about to make zirconia ceramics with yttria, using spraying precipitation method for the purpose of powder control. The powder properties and the characterization of sintered body, were studied. As the results, 1. The synthesized powder had homogeneity of spherical shape, and average particle size was 2-3 um. 2. Crystallization temperature increased with Y2O3 content. 3. Apparent density of sintered body (fired above 1500$^{\circ}C$) was higher than 98% of theoretical value in 3 mol% Y2O3 content. 4. High KIC values(19kg/㎣/2) in 3 mol % Y2O3 content resulted from sintering density increasement.

PbSe, with a band gap in the mid-infrared and a samll effective mass, is an interesting material for optical and electrical applications in infrared region. Various colloidal synthetic routes for synthesizing PbSe quantum dot nanoparticles have been developed in the last couple of years. In this work, stable colloidal solutions containing crystalline PbSe particles in the order of 5-15 nm were synthesized using different amount of acetic acid in high boiling coordinating solvents. The size and shape of PbSe nanoparticles was greatly influenced by coexistence of acetic acid in synthetic medium. It was observed by TEM that the shape of PbSe nanoparticles with different amount of acetic acid was changed from spherical to cube or star types.

$BaTiO_3$ fine particles were synthesized by hydrothermal method. $TiO_2$ and $Ba(OH)_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ were used as staring materials, and it was possible to synthesize $BaTiO_3$ fine particles in pure water by using excess $Ba(OH)_2{\cdot}8H_2O$. The shape of synthesized particles are irregular but near spherical, and the particle size depends on the temperature and Ba/Ti atomic ratio.

The synthesis of high purity and ultra-fine $BaTiO_3$ by precipitation with gaseous $NH_3$ as precipitator was investigated to find an alternative process to solve various problems of recent wet methods. A synthesis process for $BaTiO_3$ powder using $NH_3$ gas as a precipitator in a bubble column reactor was experimentally successful in developing the production process of piezoelectric ceramic $BaTiO_3$ powder. And a 2.33m1/sec is approprite for the feed flow rate, $BaTiO_3$ powder produced under above the condition is spherical type, its particle size was about $0.2{\mu}m$.

Porous graphites were synthesized by removing the template in HF after cabothermal conversion for 3 h at $900^{\circ}C$, accompanied by intercalations of pyrolyzed fuel oil (PFO) in the interlayer of Co or Ni loaded magadiite. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the porous graphites exhibited 00l reflections corresponding to a basal spacing of 0.7 nm. The particle morphology of the porous graphites was composed of carbon plates intergrown to form spherical nodules resembling rosettes like a magadiite template. TEM shows that the cross section of the porous graphites is composed of layers with very regular spaces. In particular, crystallization of the porous graphite was dependent on the content of Co or Ni loaded in the interlayer. The porous graphite had a surface area of $328-477m^2/g$. This indicates that metals such as Co and Ni act as catalysts that accelerate graphite formation.

This study aims at finding the closest packings of regular shape particles such as sphere, circle rod and hexagonal rod type. As the ratio of particle size to container lowered to less than 1/10, the wall effect decreased gradually. The tap density of spherical particles with almost orthorhombic arrangement was 59.5%, while those of circle rod and hexagonal rod type particles were 63.5% and 63.0% respectively. And it was decreased with increasing the aspect ratio of regular particles. The tap density of binary mixtures was larger than that corresponding to the monosized particles packing by about 15%. The tap density of ternary mixtures was larger than that of corresponding to the packing of binary mixtures by about 9%. This work employed the binary mixture of 60% coarse particles and 40% fine particles with size ratio of 1.0 to 1/10 and the ternary mixture of 60% coarse particles, 20% medium and 20% fine particles with size ratio of 1:1/10:1/400 respectively.

The commercial viability of heat exchanger is mainly dependent on their long-term fouling characteristics because the feeling increases the pressure loss and degrades the thermal performance of a heat exchanger An experimental study was performed to investigate the characteristics of fluid flow in a fluidized bed heat exchanger with circulating various solid particles. The present work showed that the drag force coefficients of particles in the internal flow were higher than in the external flow, in addition, they were lower with the shapes of particles being closer to the spherical geometries.

Ag spot-coated Cu nanopowders were synthesized by a hydrothermal-attachment method (HA) using oleic acid capped Ag hydrosol. Cu nano powders were synthesized by pulsed wire exploding method using 0.4 mm in diameter of Cu wire (purity 99.9%). Synthesized Cu nano powders are seen with comparatively spherical shape having range in 50 nm to 150 nm in diameter. The oleic acid capped Ag hydrosol was synthesized by the precipitation-redispersion method. Oleic acid capped Ag nano particles showed the narrow size distribution and their particle size were less than 20 nm in diameter. In the case of nano Ag-spot coated Cu powders, nanosized Ag particles were adhered in the copper surface by HAA method. The components of C, O and Ag were distributed on the surface of copper powder.
