1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecytriethoxysilane (C₁₆H₁₉F₁₇O₃Si) be successfully applied to the hydrophobic modification of Al₂O₃ tubular ceramic membrane. Taking the concentration of modification solution, modification time, and modification temperature as factors, orthogonal experiments were designed to study the hydrophobicity of the composite membranes. The experiments showed that the modification time had the greatest impact on the experimental results, followed by the modification temperature, and the modification solution concentration had the smallest impact. Concentration of the modified solution 0.012 mol·L^-1, modification temperature 30 ℃ and modification time 24 h were considered optimal hydrophobic modification conditions. And the pure water flux reached 274.80 kg·m^-2·h^-1 at 0.1MPa before hydrophobic modification, whereas the modified membrane completely blocked liquid water permeation at pressures less than 0.1MPa. Air gap membrane distillation experiments were conducted for NaCl (2wt%) solution, and the maximum flux reached 4.20 kg·m^-2·h^-1, while the retention rate remained above 99.8%. Given the scarcity of freshwater resources in coastal areas, the article proposed a system for seawater desalination using air conditioning waste heat, and conducted preliminary research on its freshwater production performance using Aspen Plus. Finally, the proposed system achieved a freshwater production capacity of 0.61 kg·m^-2·h^-1.

Powder mixtures of $\beta$-SiC-TiC in a weight ratio of 2:1 containing 5-20 wt% additives ($Al_2O_3$-$Y_2O_3$) were liquid-phase sintered at $1830^{\circ}C$ for 1h by hot-pressing and subsequently annealed at $1950^{\circ}C$ for 6h to enhance grain growth. The annealed specimens revealed a microstructure of \"in situ-toughened composite\" as a result of the $\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ phase transformation of SiC during annealing. The increase of the content of additives accelerated the growth of elongated $\alpha$-SiC grains with higher aspect ratio and improved fracture toughness. The fracture toughness of SiC-TiC composite containing 20 wt% additive was 6.2 MPa.$m^{1/2}$.2}$.

Mullite-PSZ composite was prepared by sol-gel method using $Al(sec-OC_4H_9)_3,\;Si(OC_2H_5)_4,\;ZrOCl_2\;8H_2O\;and\;Y_2O_3$. The sinterability ana mechanical properties of powder compacts sintered at $1,650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs were investigated for various PSZ contents. In result Al-Si spinel formed at $980^{\circ}C$ from amorphous dried gel, and zirconia as well as mullite crystal formed above $1,200^{\circ}C$. The sintered body was densified to $97{\sim}98%$ except the specimen containing 25vol% PSZ which showed the relative density of about 95% obtained by sintering at $1,650^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The flexural strength of the sintered body was a maximum value of 290 MPa in 20 vol% PSZ, which was also considerably larger than the value of 200 MPa without PSZ. The value of the fracture toughness increased linearly with increase of PSZ content and showed a maximum value of $4.3MPam^{1/2}$ in 25 vol% PSZ, Namely this value was remarkably larger than the $value(2.6MPam^{1/2})$ of pure mullite without PSZ.

In this paper, analysis of critical fluid velocity and heat transfer in the nanocomposite pipes conveying nanofluid is presented. The pipe is reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the fluid is mixed by $AL_2O_3$ nanoparticles. The material properties of the nanocomposite pipe and nanofluid are considered temperature-dependent and the structure is subjected to magnetic field. The forces of fluid viscosity and turbulent pressure are obtained using momentum equations of fluid. Based on energy balance, the convection of inner and outer fluids, conduction of pipe and heat generation are considered. For mathematical modeling of the nanocomposite pipes, the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and energy method are used. Utilizing the Lagrange method, the coupled pipe-nanofluid motion equations are derived. Applying a semi-analytical method, the motion equations are solved for obtaining the critical fluid velocity and critical Reynolds and Nusselt numbers. The effects of CNTs volume percent, $AL_2O_3$ nanoparticles volume percent, length to radius ratio of the pipe and shell surface roughness were shown on the critical fluid velocity, critical Reynolds and Nusselt numbers. The results are validated with other published work which shows the accuracy of obtained results of this work. Numerical results indicate that for heat generation of $Q=10MW/m^3$, adding 6% $AL_2O_3$ nanoparticles to the fluid increases 20% the critical fluid velocity and 15% the Nusselt number which can be useful for heat exchangers.

The mechanical properties of 2D ceramic composites fabricated bythe newly developed powder infiltration and subsequent multiple impregnation process were characterised by both 3-point flexure and tensile tests. These tests were performed with strain gauge and acoustic emission instrument. The woven fabric composites used for the test have the basic combinations of $Al_{2}$$O_{3}$ fabric/$Al_{2}$$O_{3}$ and SiC fabric (Tyranno)/SiC. Uniaxially aligned SiC fibre(Textron SCS-6)/SiC composites were also tested for comparison, The ultimate flexural strength and first-matrix cracking stress of SiC fabric/SiC composite with 73% of theoretical density were about 300 MPa and 77 MPa respectively. However, the ultimate tensile strengths of composite were generally one third of flexural strengths, and first-matrix cracking stress in a tension test was also much lower than the value obtained from flexure test. The lower mechanical properties measured by tension test were analysed quantitatively bythe differences in stressed volume using Weibull statistics. This showed that the ultimate strength and the firs-tmatrix cracking stress of woven laminate composites were mainly determined bythe gauge length of fibres and the stressed volume of matrix respectively. Incorporation of SiC whiskers into the matrix increased first-matrix cracking stress by increasing the matrix failure strain of composites.

The lubricant tribological characteristics of $Al_2O_3$ fiber and SiC particle hybrid metal matrix composites (MMCs) fabricated by squeeze casting method was investigated using a pin-on-disk wear tester. The wear tests of the MMCs were performed according to fiber/particle hybrid ratio in the planar-random (PR) and normal (N) orientations sliding against a counter steel disk at a fixed speed and $25\;kg_f$ loading under different sliding distances and temperatures. The test results showed that the wear behavior of MMCs varied with fiber orientation and hybrid ratio. At room temperature, the lubricant wear behavior of F20P0 unhybrid PR-MMCs was superior to that of N-MMCs while the hybrid composites exhibited the reverse lubricant wear behavior. It was also revealed that the wear resistance of PR-MMCs was superior to that of the N-MMCs due to the joint action of reinforcements and lubricant film between the friction surfaces at an elevated temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ for both fiber only and hybrid cases. In case of $150^{\circ}C$, although the trend of weight loss was similar to that of others, the wear resistance of PR-MMCs was better than that of N-MMCs for hybrid MMCs.

고온가압소결으로 제조된 SiCf/SiC 복합체는 부식과 침식에 강하고 우수한 열적 성질과 고온에서의 높은 기계적 강도를 유지하는 장점을 가진 복합체다. 복합체의 파괴인성은 섬유와 기지 사이에 존재하는 열분해탄소 (PyC) 계면층에 의해 큰 영향을 받는데, 고온가압소결중 첨가되는 소결조제 ($Y_2O_3$, MgO, $Al_2O_3$)와 반응하여 계면이 손상되어 복합체의 기계적 특성치가 낮아지는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구에서는 계면의 손상을 보호하고자 PyC 계면상 위에 SiC 층을 증착하였는데 계면층과 SiC 층의 증착은 화학기상 증착법(CVD)을, 기지채움 공정은 전기영동법(EPD)과 고온가압소결방법(Hot Pressing)을 이용하여 복합체를 제조하였다. Tyranno-SA 섬유에 소스가스인 메탄을 열분해 하여 200nm 두께로 PyC 계면상을 증착하고, 두께를 달리하여 보호층으로써의 SiC 층을 single 과 double layer로 증착하였다. SiC 나노분말과 소결 첨가제인 $Y_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, MgO를 첨가한 슬러리를 전기영동법(EPD)을 이용하여 섬유내부에 슬러리를 함침시켰고, 이러한 프리폼을 $1750^{\circ}C$/20MPa의 조건으로 고온 가압소결 하여 $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체를 제조하였다. 이렇게 single layer와 double layer로 제조된 $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체에 대해 밀도와 미세구조를 관찰하였고, 기계적 특성을 비교하여 보호층으로써의 SiC 증착효과를 고찰하고자 하였다.

SiC-Si3N4 composites were prepared by mixing $\alpha$-Si3N4 powder to $\alpha$-SiC powder in the range of 10 to 30 vol% with 10vol% interval. 6wg% Al2O3 and 6wt% Y2O3 were respectively added as sintering aids. Hot pressing was performed at 1,80$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour with 25 MPa pressure. In the case of adding 20vol% of $\alpha$-Si3N4 powder the relative density to theoretical value and the flexural strength were 99.1% and 34,420 MPa respectively and the worn amount was 2.09$\times$10-3 mm2 which were the highest values in the all range of he composition. Although the composite containig 10 vol% of $\alpha$-Si3N4 powder showed the highest fracture toughness(KIC) of 4.65MN/m3/2 the reduction of the wear resistance in this composite is likely to be affected by the homogeneity and the uniformity of the grain coalescence and growth during the sintering process.

본 연구에서는 별도의 소결과정 없이 상온에서 치밀한 복합체 후막의 제조가 가능한 Aerosol Deposition Method (ADM)를 이용하여 SOP를 실현시키기 위한 기판 재료로서 알루미나 기반의 알루미나-폴리이미드 복합체를 제조하고 그 특성에 대한 평가를 진행하였다. SEM 관찰결과 기공이 거의 없고 치밀한 구조의 복합체가 상온에서 성공적으로 형성되었음이 확인되었다. XRD 와 FT-IR 분석 결과 알루미나와 폴리이미드 모두가 복합체에 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 XRD 분석결과 출발 원료에 폴리이미드 함량이 증가할수록 ADM으로 제조된 복합체 내부의 알루미나의 결정자 크기가 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 복합체의 알루미나 충진율을 확인하기 위한 간접적인 방법으로 복합체 후막을 연마하여 복합체 내부를 노출시킨 후 폴리이미드의 용매인 Methyl Ethyl Ketone으로 폴리이미드를 식각시켜 남아있는 알루미나 영역을 관찰한 SEM 분석결과 알루미나가 60% 이상 복합체의 대부분을 이루고 있다는 사실을 관찰할 수 있었다. 복합체의 미세구조를 확인하기 위하여 TEM 분석결과 기존에 보고된 ADM으로 제조된 알루미나 후막의 결정자 크기인 10~20 nm 보다 큰 100 nm 범위의 결정자 크기를 관찰 할 수 있었다. 유전특성평가 결과 유전율과 tan$\delta$는 1 MHz에서 각각 9.0, 0.0072로서 알루미나만을 원료로 성막시킨 후막의 유전 특성을 크게 떨어뜨리지 않으며 알루미나 후막과 유사한 결과를 보였다. 추후 복합체의 균일성 향상 및 고주파 영역의 유전 특성 향상을 통하여 세라믹의 취성 및 가공성이 개선된 3 차원 적층 기판재료로의 응용이 기대될 것으로 전망된다.
