A 100 mm × 50 mm-sized (100) gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) single crystal ingot was successfully grown by edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG). The preferred orientation and the quality of grown Ga₂O₃ ingot were compatible with a commercial Ga₂O₃ substrate by showing strong (100) orientation behaviors and 246 arcsec in X-ray rocking curve. Raman characterization was also performed for both samples; thereby providing various Raman-active characteristics of Ga₂O₃ crystals. In particular, we observed A_g(5) and A_g(10) peaks of Raman active mode, directly related to the impurity of the grown Ga₂O₃ crystal. Hence, the comparison of the crystal quality and Raman analysis might be useful for further enhancement of Ga₂O₃ single crystal quality in the future.

Inorganic-organic composites find extensive application in various fields, including electronic devices and light-emitting diodes. Notably, encapsulation technologies are employed to shield electronic devices (such as printed circuit boards and batteries) from stress and moisture exposure while maintaining electrical insulation. Polymer composites can be used as encapsulation materials because of their controllable mechanical and electrical properties. In this study, we propose a polymer composite that provides good electrical insulation and enhanced mechanical properties. This is achieved by using aluminum borate nanowhiskers (ABOw), which are fabricated using a facile synthesis method. The ABOw fillers are created via a hydrothermal method using aluminum chloride and boric acid. We confirm that the synthesis occurs in various morphologies based on the molar ratio. Specifically, nanowhiskers are synthesized at a molar ratio of 1:3 and used as fillers in the composite. The fabricated ABOw/epoxy composites exhibit a 48.5% enhancement in mechanical properties, similar to those of pure epoxy, while maintaining good electrical insulation.

Calcium fluoride (CaF₂) single crystal is applied to numerous industrial applications, especially for optical uses. To have excellent optical transmission properties, however, CaF₂ crystals should be carefully fabricated through liquid-phase crystal growth techniques. In this study, as one of the early stage research activities to grow CaF₂ crystals with a good transmittance at the ultraviolet wavelength range, computational thermodynamic models were provided to deepen the understanding of the crystal growing processes of CaF₂ under various conditions. To remove point defects and oxygen impurities in the grown CaF₂ crystals, the system was thermodynamically evaluated to get optimal process conditions. From the reviews of previous experimental studies, computational thermodynamic approaches were found to be an effective and powerful tool to understand the meaning of the crystal growth processes and to obtain optimal process conditions.

세라믹 필터는 여러 종류의 분진제거 시스템에서 연소 배가스 정제를 위한 가장 적절한 소재로 알려져 있다. 현재까지 다양한 형태의 세라믹 필터가 개발되고 있는데, 캔들 타입(candle type), 튜브 타입(tubular type), 평판 타입(parallel flow type) 등이 그 예이다. 통상적으로 세라믹 캔들 필터는 가압유동층복합발전(PFBC, Pressurize Fluidized-Bed Combustion), 석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC, Integrated coal Gasification Combined Cycle), 석탄가스화연료전지복합발전(IGFC, Integrated coal Gasification Fuel cell Combined cycle)에서 고온 배가스 정제용으로 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 IGCC나 CTL 합성가스 정제시스템의 경우에는 높은 고압(약 25기압)과 미세분진이 함유되어 있는 분위기에서 운전된다. 그러므로 이때 사용되는 초청정용 세라믹 집진필터는 고온, 고압 및 부식 환경에서 50 MPa 이상을 갖는 높은 강도와 내식성을 갖도록 개발되어야 하기 때문에 SiC(Silicon Carbide)가 가장 적절한 캔들 필터 소재로 적용되고 있다. 이에 따라 집진용 SiC 세라믹 캔들 필터를 개발하기 위해서는 고온에서 내산화성이 우수하고, 부피팽창에 의한 균열이 발생하지 않는 무기결합재의 선정 및 이를 통한 소재의 특성 최적화가 가장 중요한 부분이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 래밍성형 공정을 적용하여 1m급 탄화규소 세라믹 캔들 필터 시작품을 제조하였으며, 래밍성형 공정 이외에 정수압가압성형, 진공압출성형으로 제조되고 있는 세라믹 캔들 필터의 국내외 시장 및 그 전망을 분석하였다.

The preceramic polymer can realize a variety of complex ceramic structures that can not be obtained by conventional ceramic processes. Polycarbosilane, which is a typical preceramic polymer, can control the molecular structure, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution for preparing complex morphology and microstructure of SiC ceramics, including SiC fiber. In this paper, synthesis and molecular structure control technique of polycarbosilane is explained. The silicon carbide fiber prepared by melt spinning, stabilization and heat treatment, and ceramic fiber composites technology made by PIP process are also discussed. In addition, we introduce an example of the development of a complex silicon carbide material such as a silicon carbide hollow fiber having a nanoporous structure.
