In the fields of the optics, precise machine, semiconductors, the micro-positioning actuators are required for the control of position in the submicron range. PNN-P2N-PZT ceramics were fabricated with various mole ratio of the PZT[Pb(Zr$_{1}$2//Ti$_{1}$2)O$_3$]. PNN (Pb(Ni$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_3$]and PZN[Pb(Zn$_{1}$3//Nb/sbu 2/3/)O$_3$] powders prepared by double calcination and PZT powders prepared by molten- salt synthesis method. The relative permittivity of specimen with PZT 0.3 mole ratio was shown 5,320 and appeared the relaxor ferroelectric feature. The maximum Piezoelectric coefficient d$_{31}$ to be used for evaluation the displacement of piezoceramics in PNN-PZN-PZT ceramics was 324$\times$10$^{-12}$ (C/V) at the vicinity of morphotropic phase boundary and was larger than that of solid PZT ceramics(120$\times$10$^{-12}$ C/V).

We reviewed the electrical properties of SOFC anode manufactured using spherical Ni and nano YSZ powder. When core-shell is fabricated by using submicron Ni as core and nano-sized YSZ as shell for SOFC anode, the electrical conductivity of the $0.2{\mu}m$ Ni-YSZ core-shell was 3 times higher than that of $1.0{\mu}m$ NiO or $1.0{\mu}m$ Ni-YSZ. Hydrogen selectivity was similar at $800^{\circ}C$, but hydrogen selectivity and methane conversion rate under $750^{\circ}C$ was 10~25% higher, Power density was more than 2 times, ASR was about 1/3, when exposed to $H_2$ atmosphere at $750^{\circ}C$ for a long time, Ni particles did not have any growth or cut off conduction path.

The indentation technique has been one of the most commonly used techniques for the measurement of the mechanical properties of materials due to its experimental ease and speed. Recently, the scope of indentation has been enlarged down to the nanometer range through the development of instrumentations capable of continuously measuring load and displacement. In addition to testing hardness, the elastic modulus of submicron area could be measured from an indentation load-displacement (P-h) curve. In this study, the hardness values of the constituent phases in Ti($C_{0.7}N_{0.3}$)-NbC-Ni cermets were evaluated by nanoindentation. SEM observation of the indented surface was indispensable in order to separate the hardness of each constituent phase since the Ti($C_{0.7}N_{0.3}$)-based cermets have relatively inhomogeneous microstructure. The measured values of hardness using nanoindentation were ${\sim}20$ GPa for hard phase and ${\sim}10$ GPa for binder phase. The effect of NbC addition on hardness was not obvious in this work.

금속 다층박막과 미세입상 합금박막에서 발견된 Giant Magnetoresistance(GMR)현상에 고무되어 최근에는 50년대에 밝혀졌던 산화물 자기저항 재료에 관하여 새롭게 연구하고 있다. Perovskite 구조를 가지는 $La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3}$ 박막에서 큰 자기저항을 얻었으며 이를 Colossal Magentoresistance (CMR)이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 $La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3}$ 분말을 고상반응법과 자발착화연소 합성법(Glycine-Nitrate Process)으로 각각 제조하였으며 비교 분석하였다. TGA을 이용하여 불순물과 미반응 물질을 확인하여 적당한 하소온도를 결정하였고 XRD를 이용하여 결정상을 분석하였다. Dilatometer를 이용해 $1400^{\circ}C$까지의 열팽창율을 측정하였다. BET로 비 표면적을 비교하였으며, 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 각각 제조된 분말의 입자상태와 입자성장을 확인하였다. GNP법으로 합성한 경우가 고상반응법을 이용한 경우보다 입자의 크기가 submicron 단위로 미세하고 비표면적도 수배 컸으며, 고순도의 perovskite 구조를 갖는 $La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3}$ 분말을 얻을 수 있었다.

In the fields of the optics, precise machine, semiconducting processing, the micro-positioning actuators are required for the control of position in the submicron range. In this study, $Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb({Zn}_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb({Zr}_{1/2}Ti_{1/2})O_3$ ceramics were fabricated by solid state reaction. The structural, dielectric and electric properties were investigated for sintering condition. The specimen sintered at $1,150(^\circ}C)$ for 1hr, had the highest density and dielectric contant. The resistivity, dielectric and density were increased with increasing PZN contents.

Reducing the particle size of drug materials down to submicron is an important matter in pharmaceutical industry. Cryogenic milling technology is one of the mechanical milling processes, which is mostly utilized in refining grain size of metal and ceramics at extremely low temperature environment. This technique has not been readily studied in application to medical and biotechnology. This paper, therefore, describes the application of cryogenic milling process to reduce particle size of Ibuprofen. The shape and size of the Ibuprofen particle before and after the cryogenic ball milling process were analyzed. XRD analysis was performed to examine a change in crystallinity of Ibuprofen by the cryogenic ball milling process. The results showed that the size of Ibuprofen particles was reduced to 1/10 or less of its initial size. The results also showed that the degree of crystallinity of Ibuprofen was slightly reduced after cryogenic ball milling with nitrogen

The preparation of Y-doped $SrZrO_3$powder by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis was investigated as a representative system, in order to produce fine, single phase multicomponent oxide powders. A precursor solution containing metal nitrates, citric acid and ethylene glycol was atomized glycol was atomized with an ultrasonic spray nozzle. Gel particles formed by organic functional groups were pyrolyzed and subsequently calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ to obtain well-crystallized, single perovskite phase. Most of large particles exhibited macroscopic pores and weak agglomeration between primary particles. However, strong agglomeration was observed in the surfaces of large particles. The effect of the microstructures of these particles on size reduction to submicron particles was described.

Formation rate of tetragonal BaTiO$_3$powder by hydrothermal synthesis and its dielectric property were studied. Submicron tetragonal BaTiO$_3$ powders were prepared hydrothermally, using Ba(OH)$_2$.8$H_2O$, TiO$_2$(anatase) and KOH as starting chemicals. Characterization via X-ray diffractometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy confirmed that increasing calcination temperatures(from 1100 to 130$0^{\circ}C$) promotes the formation of tetragonal BaTiO$_3$. Tetragonal BaTiO$_3$ ceramics, obtained by calcining at 1200 for 3 h after hydrothermal synthesis at 200 for 168 h, exhibited submicron size of 0.5 ~ 0.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and high relative permittivity.

The phase behavior and dynamics of colloid suspensions and the resulting structures and properties of powder compacts were examined by a computer experimental method for cooperative packing processes. A wide range of properties and process conditions such as arbitrary particle size, medium densities, field strength, and temperature could be examined using the Peclet number (Pe). We demonstrated that an optimum range of Peclet number for the ordering of sediments was present and that the phenomena related to the ordering such as the onset of crystallization, the phase behavior, etc. strongly depend on process conditions. The present work appears to be useful to design the processing method of ceramic spherical submicron powders for the preparation of high-density green compacts.

A metal mesh TCE film is fabricated using a series of processes such as UV imprinting of a transparent trench pattern (with a width of $2-5{\mu}m$) onto a PET film, filling it with silver paste, wiping of the surface, and heat-curing the silver paste. In this work nanosized (40-50 nm) silver particles are synthesized and mixed with submicron (250-300 nm)-sized silver particles to prepare silver paste for the fabrication of metal mesh-type TCE films. The filling of these silver pastes into the patterned trench layer is examined using a specially designed filling machine and the rheological testing of the silver pastes. The wiping of the trench layer surface to remove any residual silver paste or particles is tested with various mixture solvents, and ethyl cellosolve acetate (ECA):DI water = 90:10 wt% is found to give the best result. The silver paste with 40-50 nm Ag:250-300 nm Ag in a 10:90 wt% mixture gives the highest electrical conductance. The metal mesh TCE film obtained with this silver paste in an optimized process exhibits a light transmittance of 90.4% and haze at 1.2%, which is suitable for TSP application.
