For improvement of B constant in $CaMnO_3$-$CaTiO_3$ perovskite type thermistors, effect of $Cr_2$$O_3$ addition ranged from 0.0wt% to 5.0wt% on electrical properties were investigated with contents and sintering temperatures in the view of crystal and microstructures. The solubility limit of Cr$_2$O$_3$was up to 0.5wt% judging from the result of lattice parameter. The grain size was decreased and the resistance at room temperature and B constant were increased with the addition of $Cr_2$$O_3$.On particular, B constant of$CaMnO_{3-x}$$Cr_2$$O_3$ system was increased greatly from 1574k to 2598k at 0.5wt% $Cr_2$$O_3$addition. Further addition of $Cr_2$$O_3$, however, resulted in the decrease of the resistance and B constant due to the $Cr_2$$O_3$ precipitation on the grain boundary. As the$CaTiO_3$contents increased in the $CaMnO_3$-$CaTiO_3$ system, the resistance at room temperature and B constant were highly changed.

$Co_3O_4$, $Al_2O_3$ and $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ mesoporous powders were prepared by a sol-gel method with starting matierals of aluminum isopropoxide and cobalt (II) nitrate. A P123 template is employed as an active organic additive for improving the specific surface area of the mixed oxide by forming surfactant micelles. A transition metal cobalt oxide supported on alumina with and without P123 was tested to find the most active and selective conditions as a heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of styrene epoxidation. A bBlock copolymer-P123 template was added to the staring materials to control physical and chemical properties. The properties of $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ powder with and without P123 were characterized using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), a Bruner-Emmertt-Teller (BET) surface analyzer, and $^{27}Al$ MAS NMR spectroscopy. Powders with and without P123 were compared in catalytic tests. The catalytic activity and selectivity were monitored by GC/MS, $^1H$, and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy. The performance for the reaction of epoxidation of styrene was observed to be in the following order: [$Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-1173 K > $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-973 K > $Co_3O_4$-973 K>$Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$-973 K > $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-1473 K > $Al_2O_3$-973 K]. The existence of ${\gamma}$-alumina and the nature of the surface morphology are related to catalytic activity.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ superconductor films have been prepared on silver substrates by electrophoretic deposition. As silver does not react with $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ compound and has little influence on its superconductivity, it is usually doped in $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ to improve the strength of the material and eliminate micro-cracks. It has been proved that Ag additive can lower the melting temperature of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ and act as linking bridge among $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ particles, thus in this paper Ag doped $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ thick films are prepared by electrophoretic co-deposition. As there are only some referenced experience formula and models for co-electrophoretic deposition and does not exist unified explanation, the behavior of Ag particles during co-electrophoretic deposition is also studied.

[ $BaO{\cdot}Nd_2O_3{\cdot}5TiO_2$ ] (BNT) ceramics modified with a borate glass containing Ba, Nd and Ti as glass constituents were investigated with regard to their sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties. An addition of iso-component glass significantly improved the sinterabilty of the BNT ceramics and lowered the sintering temperature. A maximum density of $5.29\;g/cm^3$ and an x-y shrinkage of 17% were obtained for BNT ceramics containing 10wt.% of the glass sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$. The dielectric composition without the glass additive was only slightly densified at $1100^{\circ}C$. The resulting sample exhibited two crystalline phases, $BaNd_2Ti_5O_{14}$ and $Ba_2Ti_9O_{20}$, regardless of sintering temperature and glass content. When >10wt.% glass was added, exaggerated grain growth with a less uniform microstructure was found, resulting in the subsequent reduction of the fired density and the dielectric properties. BNT ceramics containing 10wt.% of the isocomponent glass sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 4 h showed promising dielectric properties of k = 71.3 and Q = 1,330.

Inorganic stiffening agents were prepared by mixing paper sludge incineration ash, blast furnace slag fine powder quicklime, anhydrous gypsum and fly ash. The main components of the solidifying agent developed for sludge treatment were SiO, $Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Mn_2O_3$, CaO, MgO, $Na_2O$, $K_2O$, $P_2O$, and $SO_3$. Unlike cement, the developed solidifying agent did not contain $Cr^{6+}$, which is known as a carcinogen. Heavy metals and oil contaminated soil were mixed with solidifying agent and cured for 7 days and the heavy metal content was below the environmental standard. Sewage sludge cake, food waste and solidifying agent were mixed with each other, and after 7 days curing, soil component test showed that the heavy metal content was below the environmental standard. After mixing the sludge, solidifying agent and additive mixture into the beaker, the ammonia concentration was measured to be 0 after 3 days.

The effects of conductive additives in a $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}MnO_3$ perovskite bifunctional electrode for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) were investigated in an alkaline solution. Highly porous carbon black (CB) and Ni powder were added to the bifunctional electrodes as conductive additives. The surface morphologies of electrodes containing CB and Ni were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The current densities for both ORR and OER were changed by the addition of CB. The conductive additive changed physical properties of bifunctional electrodes such as the sheet conductance, gas permeability and contact angle. It was observed that the air permeability of electrode was most effective to enhance the currents for ORR and OER.

The production of hydrogen from steam by reduced iron with additives such as CuO, $In_2O_3$, $MoO_3$ and $WO_3$ has been kinetically investigated. It was shown that all additives have a promoting effect on reaction activity in the order of $$MoO_3{\gg}In_2O_3{\sim_=}WO_3{\sim_=}CuO$$. The shrinking core model was applied to predict the complete conversion time and the results were quite comparable with experimental values. The reaction was carried out in a fixed flow reactor packed with reduced iron with 1 wt % of additives under the conditions, $600-750^{\circ}C$, Ar flow rate of 1 L/min and steam partial pressure of 0.085 atm. The apparent activation energies were 14.2, 20.9, 21.3, 22.4 and 27.9 kJ/mol with $MoO_3$, $In_2O_3$, $WO_3$, CuO and without additive, respectively.

The effect of $CaCo_3$, $SrCo_3$, $SiO_2$ and $H_3BO_3$ in the range of 0.1-1.0 wt% on strontium ferrites consisting of the magnetoplumbite phase $SrO-5.7Fe_2O_3$ were investigated. The hysteresis loop, density, demagnetization curve and the intrinsic coercive force were measured on anisotropic ferrite. The particle diameter and 0.5(wt%) of second additive $CaCo_3$ is particularly important for the properties of anisotropic ferrite. When the particle diameter is decreased from 1.98(${\mu}m$) to 1.07(${\mu}m$), the remance is increased from 2900 to 4010(G) and the coercive force from 2150 to 2850(Oe) at a sintering temperature 1230 ($^{\circ}C$). Remance Br(G), coercleve force(Oe) and maximum energy product of sample A-16 are87(%), 56(%), 67(%) of S-W model theoretical value.

A stainless steel that contains aggressive negative ion was known to decrease the corrosion resistance. Stainless steel with super corrosion resistance was developed for improvement of corrosion resistance. Super duplex stainless steel is widely used under sever environment because of good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Also, Super duplex stainless steel has long life in severe environments by showing the enough strength and corrosion resistance. But duplex stainless steel is not stabilized compared to austenite stainless steel in corrosion resistance. In this study, corrosion characteristic were investigated to super duplex stainless steel with additive 0.2% nitrogen with $SiO_2$ thin films coated or no coated by sol-gel method in 3.5% NaCl. From test results, corrosion current density in the heat-treated specimen for ${\sigma}$ phase precipitation was higher than that of different heat-treated specimen. Also, $SiO_2$ colloidal-coated specimen had not occurred almost corrosion.

This study analyzed the characterization of high temperature strength of $Si_3N_4$ composite ceramics additive based on variations in the amount of nano colloidal $SiO_2$ added. Semi-elliptical cracks about 100 ${\mu}m$ length were obtained from a Vickers indenter using a load of 24.5 N. The results showed that the heat-treated smooth specimens with $SiO_2$ nano colloidal coating exhibited the highest bending strength at 0.0 wt% $SiO_2$ nano colloidal added, which is amounted to a 187 % increase over that of smooth specimen. Limiting temperature for bending strength of crack-healed zone for bending strength was about 1273 K. However, the bending strength of SSTS-3 and SSTS-4 was considerably increased while that of SSTS-1 and SSTS-2 was decreased at a temperature of 1,573K.
