Electrical discharge machining (EDM) was attempted on a ceramic matrix composite containing non-conductive alumina as a matrix and conductive titania as a second phase, and was found successful. As the current or duty factor increased, the material removal rate (MRR) increased and the surface roughness also increased. The EDMed surface was covered with a number of craters of a circular shape having 100-200 microns of diameter. The melting and evaporation was suggested for the EDM mechanism. The bending strength decreased 44% after EDM, but the Weibull modulus increased more than twice. Combination of EDM and barre이 polishing resulted in the maintenance of the bending strength level. Temperature distribution near a spark in the sample was computer-simulated by use of finite element method, and was found to have similar shape to the one which the observed craters have.

A carbon-containing silica glass was prepared from orgaincally modified silicate(Ormosil) by heat treatment in N2 atmosphere after the ormosil was synthesized using sol-gel method. The Ormosil was fabricated from the TEOS as the inorganic component and the PDMS as the organic component. The Ormosil changed to balck-coloured glass by carbon decomposed from the PDMS when the Ormosil was heated to 450$^{\circ}C$ 20hrs. A dense silicon oxycarbide glass with 2.08 g/cm3 was obtained by heating the Ormosil at 1050$^{\circ}C$ 10hrs. The microstructure of the carbon-containing silica glass was observed by SEM and the SiOxC4-x structure was confirmed by XPS measurement. The densification of the glass was studied by measurements of specific surface area linear shrinkage and geometric density.

The formation, microstructure and properties of MoSi2/SiC ceramic composites by polymer pyrolysis were investigated for the application of heating element material. Polymethylsiloxanes were mixed with Si, SiC, MoSi2 as filler and ceramic composites prepared by pyrolysis in N2 atmosphere at 1320~145$0^{\circ}C$ were studied. Dimensional change, density variation and phases were analyzed and correlated to the resulting material properties. Microstructures of ceramic composite prepared by polymer pyrolysis were composed of MoSi2, SiC and silicon oxycarbide glass matrix. Depending on the pyrolysis conditions, ceramic composites with a density of 86~90 TD%, a fracture strength of 213~284 MPa, a thermal expansion coefficient of 4~7$\times$10-6 were obtained. The electrical resistivity of the specimen decreased with increasing of temperature up to 50$0^{\circ}C$.

Particulate composites of $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, $Al_2O_3$/TiC and $Al_2O_3$/SiC have been fabricated by hot pressing and their R-curve behaviors and mechanical properties were investigated. $Al_2O_3$ containing 30 vol% TiC particles showed higher toughness by 8% than that for monolithic alumina and its fracture strength was increased significantly by approximately 30%. On the other hand, the addition of 30 vol% SiC of $3{\mu}m$ in $Al_2O_3$ decreased the fracture strength slightly but induced a rising R-curve behavior owing to the strong crack bridging of SiC particles. In case of $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, arising R-curve behavior was also observed and the fracture toughness reached 6.6 MPa${\cdot}\sqrt{m}$ at the crack length of $1000{\mu}m$, which was lower than that of $Al_2O_3$/SiC, however, while the fracture strength was higher by about 20%. The fracture toughness seemed to be decreased as smaller TiC particles roughened the SiC interface and pullout of the SiC particles for crack bridging became less active.

For the fabrication of low temperature cofirable glass/ceramic with high dielectric constant, crystallizing glass [$SiO_2-TiO_2-RO (RO:BaO, CaO:SrO)$] was formed. The glass/ceramic composites were made by mixing this glass and alumina ceramic as filler, and its characteristics was investigated. With this glass compositon, it was possible to fabricate the glass which could be crystallized under $900^{\circ}C$. And it was found that the crystallizing temperature was changed in accordance with the composition of RO in glass. By adding $Bi_2O_3$ as flux, using $Al_2O_3$ as filler and sintering at $860^{\circ}C$, low temperature cofirable glass/ceramic with high dielectric constant was fabricated. The density of that composites was 3.96 g/$\textrm{cm}^3$, dielectric constant was 17 and Q. f was 600.

The characteristics of composite polymer electrolytes obtained by adding a fine ceramic powder($\gamma-{LiAlO}_{2}$) with a diameter of $1{\mu}$m to a poly(ethylene oxide)/lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate (LiC$F_3$S$O_3$) complex are described in terms of morphological and mechanical behavior. The addition of uniformly dispersed ceramic powder greatly improves the electrical and mechanical properties of solid polymer electrolytes at ambient temperature. For the composite polymer electrolytes under this study, the optimum composition of the $\gamma-{LiAIO}_{2}$ in the composite for maximum ionic conductivity was found to be 20 wt%.

The decomposition and/or conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon have been studied using oxygen-deficient ferrites for the reduction of $CO_2$ emission to the atmosphere. In this work, the homogeneous precipitation method using urea decomposition was employed to induce in situ precipitation of Ni ferrite($Ni_{0.4}Fe_{2.6}O_4$) on the porous ceramic fiber support (50 mm diameter${\times}$10 mm thickness). Effects of ferrite loading conditions on the CO2 decomposition efficiency were discussed in this paper. Removal of residual chloride ions and urea by solvent exchange from the porous media after ferrite deposition apparently helps to form spinel ferrite, but does not increase the efficiency of $CO_2$ decomposition. Porous ceramic fiber composites containing 20 wt% (1g) ferrite samples showed 100% efficiency for $CO_2$decomposition during the first three minutes, but the efficiency decreased rapidly after the elapsed time of ten minutes. The characteristic reduction time for the $CO_2$ decomposition efficiency was estimated as about 3∼7 min.

In this study, the effects of the content of $ZrO_{2}$ in $Si_{3}N_{4}$ on mechanical and wear properties were investigated. $Si_{3}N_{4}$ based composites containing 0~40 wt% $ZrO_{2}$ powders were fabricated using hot isostatic pressing (HIP), at $1750^{\circ}C$, 172 MPa for 1 hour in $N_{2}$ gas. Mechanical properties and wear properties of composites were examined. Mechanical properties (hardness, strength, and fracture toughness) of $Si_{3}N_{4}-ZrO_{2}$ composite were decreased with increasing the amount of $ZrO_{2}$, but relative density of composites were increased. Further, the increase in amount of $ZrO_{2}$, reduced wear rates in air. It was found that wear behaviors in air were related to microcracking.

알루미나는 높은 온도에서 열적으로 안정되고 경도가 높으며 내화학, 내마모 특성이 우수하며 또한 강도대비 비중이 낮아 무게를 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 인하여 우주항공, 국방, 원자력등 극한의 온도를 견뎌야 하는 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 고온구 조물로서 응용이 되고 있다. 특히 알루미나를 휘스커 형태로 만들어 세라믹 복합체에 결합 할 경우 복합체의 기지 내에서 강화재의 역할을 함으로써 취성 파괴를 억제하고 열 전도율 저하등의 이점을 가져올 수 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 알루미나 휘스커를 성장을 위하여 Al-triisoproxide계를 이용하여 화학기상증착법으로 가장 안정된 열적 특성을 가지고 온도의 변화에 따라 상 변화가 일어 나지 않는 알파 알루미나 상을 가지는 알루미나 휘스커를 성장시키기 위한 연구를 하였다. 또한 증착 온도, 압력, 입력기체비등 증착 조건을 변화시켜가면서 알파 알루미나 휘스커의 성장 거동을 살펴 보았다. 증착 조건 변화에 따라 알파 알루미나는 막이 증착되는 부분과 휘스커가 성장되는 부분이 있으며 휘스커의 밀집도와 길이방향, 직경방향 성장등 여러 가지 성장 특성을 달리하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 증착조건에 따른 알파 알루미나 휘스커 성장영역을 도식화하였다.
