AZ31 Mg alloy were coated by Macro Arc Oxidation(MAO) with 3 types of electrolyte and various coating times at 4A/$cm^2$. The Surface morphology of coatings became lager pores and surface crack initiated as the coating time increased. The thickness and micro-hardness of coatings increased as the coating time increased. also. The phase of coatings on AZ31 alloy consisted of MgO, $Mg_2SiO_4$ and $MgAl_2O_4$ oxides. The salt spray corrosion resistance of coated AZ31 alloys revealed excellent corrosion resistance in 5% NaCl solution for 168hr.

Organic-inorganic hybrid sol based on ZrO$_2$-SiO$_2$ system was prepared by sol-gel process. Firstly, ZrO$_2$ non-aqueous precursor sol was synthesized and then organosilane compounds which include epoxy silane (GPTS; 3-g1ycidoxypropyl tri-methoxysilane) and acryl silane (ACS; (3-(tri-methoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate)) were added to ZrO$_2$precursor sol for hybridization. Finally, com-mercial silica sol was added to improve the mechanical properties. Synthesized organic-inorganic Zr-hybrid sol was coated on polycarbonate substrate for enhancing it’s mechanical properties, especially hardness. Vicker’s hardness of polycarbonate sub strate was increased from 13.6 to 17.8 MPa and its pencil hardness was increased from 2 to 7 H, respectively, after coating and drying at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

Surface treatments and their effects on high temperature properties for the Hastelloy X, which is a promising candidate alloy for high temperature heat-transport system, have been evaluated. For TiAlN and $Al_2O_3$ overlay coatings, the two different PVD (physical vapor deposition) methods using an arc discharge and a sputtering, were applied, respectively. In addition, a different surface treatment method of the diffusion coating by a pack cementation of Al (aluminiding) was also adopted in this study. To achieve enhanced thermal oxidation resistance at $1000^{\circ}C$ by suppressing the inhomogeneous formation of thick $Cr_2O_3$ crust at the surface region, a study for the surface modification methods on the morphological and structural properties of Hastelloy X substrates has been conducted. The structural and compositional properties of each sample were characterized before and after heat-treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$ under air and He environment. The results showed that the Al diffusion coating showed the more enhanced high temperature properties than the overlay coatings such as the suppressed thick $Cr_2O_3$ crust formation and lower wear loss.

The high permittivity are applied to DRAM and FRAM. (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ (EST) thin films were prepared by Sol-Gel method. BST solution was made and spin-coated on $Pt/SiO_2/Si$ substrate at 4000 [rpm] for 10 seconds in a time coating. Coated specimens were dried at $90[^{\circ}C]$ for 5 minutes. Coating process was repeated from 3 times to 5 times and then sintered at $750[^{\circ}C]$ for 30 minutes. Each specimen was analyzed structure and electrical characteristics. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about 2600-2800[$\AA$] in 3 times. Dielectric constant of thin films was little decreased at 1[KHz]~1[MHz]. Dielectric constant and loss to frequency were 250 and 0.02 in BST3. The property of leakage current was stable When the applied voltage was 0~3[V] Leakage current was $10^{9}\sim10^{11}$[A] at 0~3[V].

Ceramic membranes of the supported $TiO_2-CeO_2$ were prepared by dip-coating method on an $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ porous substrate. The mean pore diameter of an alumina support was 0.125 um. The mean particle diameter of $TiO_2-CeO_2$ top layer varied with firing temperature and ranged from 20 to 85 nm. The thermal stability of the composite membranes was studied from their surface microstructure after calcination at $600-900^{\circ}C$. The supported $TiO_2-CeO_2$ composite membranes exhibited much higher heat resistance than the $TiO_2$ membrane.

Copper is able to work as a current collector under wide range of hydrocarbon fuels without coking in Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The application of copper in SOFC is limited due to its low melting point, which result in coarsening the copper particle. This work focuses on the sintering of copper powder with ceria coating layer. Ceria-coated powder was prepared by thermal decomposition of urea in $Ce(NO_3)_3\cdot6H_2O$ solution, which containing CuO core particles. The ceria-coated powder was characterized by XRD, ICP, and SEM. The thermal stability of the ceria-coated copper in fuel atmosphere $(H_2)$ was observed by SEM. It was found that the ceria coating layer could effectively hinder the grain growth of the copper particles.

Aluminum and zinc titanium silicate sol-gel films were fabricated for application of waveguide and the effect of additions of ZnO and $Al_2O_3$ to binary titanium silicate films was investigated. During firing, the films are densified as they shrunk and their refractive index increases in the range of 1.58-1.83 depending on the film composition. The attenuation of the waveguides is not sensitive to changes in composition except for zinc titanium silicate waveguides which have substantially higher attenuation. However, the increase in the attenuation with aging of the waveguides depend upon the composition of waveuides. The addition $Al_2O_3$ or the reduced $SiO_2$ content in the composition appears to slow the deterioration of the waveguides due to the formation of more stable bonds and increased acidity on the film surface. Also, the wavelength dependence of the attenuation of the waveguides varies with composition. The attenuation of the waveguides except for the $65SiO_2{\cdot}35TiO_2$ composition are not Rayleigh scatter limited, suggesting the absorption loss of the waveguides due to the effects of residual carbon and structural defects in the films.

Metal foams have a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal containing a large volume fraction of pores. In particular, open, penetrating pores are necessary for industrial applications such as in high temperature filters and as a support for catalysts. In this study, Fe foam with above 90% porosity and 2 millimeter pore size was successfully fabricated by a slurry coating process and the pore properties were characterized. The Fe and $Fe_2O_3$ powder mixing ratios were controlled to produce Fe foams with different pore size and porosity. First, the slurry was prepared by uniform mixing with powders, distilled water and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA). After slurry coating on the polyurethane(PU) foam, the sample was dried at $80^{\circ}C$. The PVA and PU foams were then removed by heating at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The debinded samples were subsequently sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ with a holding time of 3 hours under hydrogen atmosphere. The three dimensional geometries of the obtained Fe foams with an open cell structure were investigated using X-ray micro CT(computed tomography) as well as the pore morphology, size and phase. The coated amount of slurry on the PU foam were increased with $Fe_2O_3$ mixing powder ratio but the shrinkage and porosity of Fe foams were decreased with $Fe_2O_3$ mixing powder ratio.

This paper reports the preparation and characterization of colored coatings of $Al_2O_3$-CoO. Films of 25mol% CoO doped $Al_2O_3$, have been prepared on soda-lime-silica slide glasses by the sol-gel process from Al-alkoxide and Co-nitrate. The films have been characterized by a photospectroscopy and hardness tester. The color, spectral reflectance and spectral transmittance of the films was expressed in Lab color chart and on spectra plot. Microhardness of the films increased with increasing of the heating temperature. Transmittance and reflectance of the films decreased with increase of the heating temperature and coating times. The coating films showed various light-yellow, deep-yellow, greenish-yellow color as a function of the coating times and heating temperature.

TiO2 membranes for microfiltration were prepared on $\alpha$-alumina support tube by slurry coating. The coating layer was obtained by flowing TiO2 slip on the inner surface of the alumina support. TiO2 membranes were heat-treated at 9$25^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The thickness of the unsupported membrane was about 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The mean pore diameter of the membranes were 0.09 and 0.15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ respectively and the pure water flux was 900~1,200ι/m2.hr at room temperature and 1 bar. For a possible application of oily wastewater treatement an kerosene/wa-ter emulsion was separated in terms of flux and removal efficiency. In 60 min of operating time the flux of TiO2 membranes was 50~100 ι/m2.hr and removal efficiency was over 97% at 3kgf/cm2 of operating pres-sure and 600 ml/min of flow rate. TiO2 membranes could be recycled by reheat treatments at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs.
