${\beta}$-SiC powders were synthesized by a carbothermal reduction process using $SiO_2$-C precursors fabricated by a sol-gel process using phenol resin and TEOS as starting materials for carbon and Si sources, respectively. The C/Si molar ratio was selected as an important parameter for synthesizing SiC powders using a sol-gel process, and the effects of the C/Si molar ratio (1.4-3.0) on the particle size, particle size distribution, and yield of the synthesized ${\beta}$-SiC powders were investigated. It was found that (1) the particle size of the synthesized ${\beta}$-SiC powders decreased with an increase in the C/Si molar ratio in the $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursors, (2) the particle size distribution widened with an increase in the C/Si molar ratio, and (3) the yield of the ${\beta}$-SiC powder production increased with an increase in the C/Si molar ratio.

$\beta$-Sialon is synthesized by carbo-thermal reduction and nitriding (CTRN) method, using the Fly ash from power plant. $\beta$-Siaion is synthesized at $1,450^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours, and sintered at $1,550 ^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours in nitrogen atmosphere. The XRD analytical results show that the sintered $\beta$-Sialon contains $SiO_2$ and $FeSi_{x}$ of inter-metallic compound. The sintered $\beta$-Sialon is stable against the oxidation at the temperature of 1,31$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours. The weight of the sample increases rapidly by oxidation reaction at $1,360^{\circ}C$. The oxide scale is consisted with mullite phase when it is oxidized at the temperature of $1,360 ^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours.

${\beta}$-SiC powders were prepared by the simultaneous reduction and carbiding of Jecheon quartzite at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours in hydrogen atmosphere, using graphite or carbon black as the reducing and carbiding reagent. The prepared SiC powder was acid-treated with the mixture of fluoric acid and hydrochloric acid at room temperature and also by heating on an alcohol lamp for one hour, respectively. The impurities were mostly eliminated and the purity of SiC became 98.5% after hot acid treatment. The specific surface area of SiC powder was also increased up to 115㎡/g by hot acid treatment. This pure and fine SiC powder was hot-pressed at 1900$^{\circ}C$ for 30min, using 5wt% Al2O3 as a sintering aid. The density, M.O.R., KIC and hardness of the hot-pressed SiC ceramics were 3.195g/㎤, 48.7Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, 5.4MN/㎥/2 and 2,182Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, respectively.

It is believed that fly ash could be suitable for preparing the sialon by carbothermal reduction method because the total amount of SiO2 and Al2O3 is above 80% and the unburned residual carbon is above 5% within the fly ash. The effects of reaction temperature (1350, 1400, 145$0^{\circ}C$) reaction time (1, 5, 10 hours) and the amount of carbon additions (C/SiO2=2, 3, 4 mole) on the $\beta$-sialon synthesis were obserbed, It was conformed that $\beta$-sialon (Z=2.15~2.18) was formed as major phase under all of the synthesis conditions and small amount of Si2ON2 SiC, AlN and Si3N4 was formed depending on the synthesis conditions. FeSix intermetal-lic compound was formed above 140$0^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature due to the large amount of iron oxides within the raw fly ash.

숭화법을 이용한 탄화규소(Silicon carbide) 단결정 성장시 사용되는 원료의 상(phase)이 단결정 성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 알파형 탄화규소 분말(${\alpha}-SiC$ powder)과 베타형 탄화규소 분말(${\beta}-SiC$ powder)을 각각 사용하였다. 알파형 탄화규소 분말을 사용한 경우에 단결정(single-crystal)을 성장할 수 있었으나, 베타형 탄화규소 분말을 사용하였을 때에는 다결정(poly-crystal)이 성장되었다. 다결정 형성요인에 관한 EPMA 분석결과, 베타형 탄화규소 분말의 탄소에 대한 실리콘의 원소조성비$(N_{Si}/N_C\;=\;1.57)$가 알파형 탄화규소 분말의 경우보다$(N_{Si}/N_C\;=\;0.81)$ 높음을 확인하였다. 따라서 흑연도가니(crucible) 내부의 실리콘 원자가 알파형 탄화규소 분말을 사용하는 경우보다 높은 과포화상태가 되어 종자정 표면에 미세한 실리콘 액적(droplet)이 중착되고 이것으로부터 일정하지 않은 방향성(random orientation)을 갖는 탄화규소 다결정(다양한 방향성을 갖는 다형 포함)이 성장한 것으로 실리콘과 탄소 원소에 대한 EPMA 지도(map) 결과를 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

The objective of this study was to develop a synthesis process for ${\beta}$-SiC powders to reduce the synthesis temperature and to control the particle size and to prevent particle agglomeration of the synthesized ${\beta}$-SiC powders. A phenol resin and TEOS were used as the starting materials for the carbon and Si sources, respectively. $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursors with various C/Si mole ratios were fabricated using a conventional sol-gel process. ${\beta}$-SiC powders were synthesized by a carbothermal reduction process using $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursors with various C/Si mole ratios (1.6 ~ 2.5) fabricated using a sol-gel process. In this study, the effects of excess carbon and the addition of Si powders to the $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursor on the synthesis temperature and particle size of ${\beta}$-SiC were examined. It was found that the addition of metallic Si powders to the $SiO_2$/C hybrid precursor with excess carbon reduced the synthesis temperature of the ${\beta}$-SiC powders to as low as $1300^{\circ}C$. The synthesis temperature for ${\beta}$-SiC appeared to be reduced with an increase of the C/Si mole ratio in the $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursor by a direct carburization reaction between Si and excess carbon.

The $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ and $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$ single crystals were synthesized by chemical vapour transport (CVT) using iodine as a transporting agent from the commercially available $FeSi_2$ powder. The $FeSi_2$ powder together with iodine were sealed in an evacuated quartz ampoule and the ampoule then being placed in two-zone electrical furnace for growing crystal. The CVT of $FeSi_2$ with iodine yielded $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ and $\alpha$-FeSi$_2$ single crystals at deposition temperature of 750 and $950^{\circ}C$ respectively. The source temperature was $1050^{\circ}C$ in both cases. The crystals of the $\alpha$-FeSi$_2$ phase were typically plate shaped with dimensions of about $10\times 10 \textrm{mm}^2$, whereas the crystals of orthorhombic $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ phase grew predominantly in the fonts of thin needle of about 10 mm in length. The composition of$\alpha$-FeSicrystal determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) resulted in Si-rich $FeSi_{2.58}$ . 57. Furthermore, the CVT $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ crystal was found to be transformed to the high temperature $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$phase above $930^{\circ}C$.

This work will report a highly textured ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ ceramic by aqueous slip casting in a magnetic field and subsequent pressureless sintering, Effects of the sintering aids, polymer dispersant, pH and stirring time on the stability of the $Si_3N_4$ slurries were studied. The textured ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ with 97 % relative density could be obtained by slip casting in a magnetic field of 12 T and subsequent sintering at $1800^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The textured microstructure is featured by the alignment of c-axis of ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ crystals perpendicular to the magnetic field, and the Lotgering orientation factor, f, is determined to be 0.8.

The co-precipitation technique has been applied to synthesize Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP), Mg-BCP and Si-BCP. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure of synthesized BCP, Mg-BCP and Si-BCP powders. The results have shown that BCP and substitution of magnesium and silicon in the calcium deficient apatites revealed the formation of biphasic mixtures of Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/${\beta}$-Tricalcium phosphate (${\beta}$-TCP) ratios after heating at $1000^{\circ}C$. Ionic substituted BCP is able to develop a new apatite phase on the surface in contact with physiological fluids faster than BCP does. An MTT assay indicated that BCP, Mg-BCP, and Si-BCP powders had no cytotoxic effects on MG-63 cells, and that they have good biocompatibility.

초미립 SiC 분말을 2차상으로 Si3N4에 첨가하여 SiC/Si3N4 나노 복합체를 핫프레스법과 가스압소결고 제조하였다. 2차상으로 첨가한 SiC의 입자 크기가 $\beta$-Si3N4 나노 복합체를 제조할 수 있었다. 사온에서 80$0^{\circ}C$까지는 강도의 100$0^{\circ}C$이상에서는 강도는 급격한 감소를 보였으며 이는 소결조제로 첨가한 AI2O3, Y2O3와 SiO2가 $\beta$-Si3N4의 입계에 유리상을 형성하였기 때문에 해석된다.
