Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Gelatin (GEL) homogeneous composites of four different composition ratio were prepared by the co-precipitation process with synthetic HAp and GEL as a binder, HAP/GEL composites were molding by cold isostatic pressing and were sintering by various condition in air. Crystallinity and structure of sintered HAp/GEL composites were investigated by XRD and FTIR. Also, the compressive strength and the fracture surface of sintered specimens were measured by UTM and SEM. HAp/GEL composites showed a phase transformation to partially ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate at the sintered condition of 1200$^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The porosity of sintered body was in the range of 1.2-30.2％. The compressive strength of the sintered specimens was in the range of 16.2-60.1㎫, and its strength of sintered HAp/GEL comosites was higher than expected when the porosity was considered.

To investigate an effect of sintering atmosphere on microstructure and properties of metallic particle dispersed ceramic based composites, the powder mixtures of $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni, synthesized by chemical solution process, were hot-pressed under different atmospheres such as hydrogen or argon gas and different sintering temperature. Hot-pressed composite in a hydrogen atmosphere exhibited less reaction phase of $FeAl_2O_4$ and enhanced mechanical properties than that in an argon atmosphere. Furthermore, decreasing hot-pressing temperature produced a refinement of ceramic matrix and metallic dispersion particles as well as improvement of mechanical properties. The change of mechanical properties in the composites with different sintering conditions was explained by microstructural characteristics relating to reaction phase formation.

In order to investigate the effect of second phase on $Al_2O_3$ matrix, SiC particles were dispersed in $Al_2O_3$ matrix as a second phase over the content range of 5 vol.% to 20 vol.%. To this mixture, $Y_2O_3$ or $TiO_2$ powders were added as a sintering additive before isostatically pressing and pressurelessly sintering at 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 min in $N_2$ atmosphere. With increasing SiC content, relative densities of composites were decreased but mechanical properties of composites were improvjed. In the case of adding $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering additive, maximum values of flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness were 525 MPa, 17.1 GPa, 4.1 MPa.m1/2 respectively. In the case of adding X$TiO_2$ as a sintering additive, maximum values of flexural strength, hardness were 285 MPa, 12.1 GPa respectively. Improved mechanical properties were found to be the results of grain growth control of $Al_2O_3$ matrix and crack deflection by the second phase SiC particles.

PZT thick films were fabricated on alumina substrates by a screen printing method. They were sintered at $750^{\circ}C{\sim}1050^{\circ}C$ for 1 h under air or Pb atmosphere. Pyrochlore was observed as a second phase in PZT thick films sintered in air at temperatures of $950^{\circ}C$ and higher. PZT thick films sintered under Pb atmosphere showed denser microstructure, higher dielectric constant, and better-developed P-E hysteresis curve than the films sintered in air. PZT thick films sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ under Pb atmosphere showed the typical ferroelectric hysteresis with remanent polarization of $29.8{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field of 48.4 kV/cm.

Titanium dioxide bodies sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 h under the oxygen flowing were reduced with hydrogen in 1200, 1250 and 130$0^{\circ}C$ for 4~20 h. Reduction kinetics were evaluated by measuring a weight loss between before and after reduction, and the thickness of reduced layer, respectively. The reduction followed the parabolic rate law, indicating that the rate-determining process is diffusion. From the Arrhenius plots, the apparent activation energies for the reduction were obtained as 210$\pm$10 kJ/mol.

3Y-TZP containing 0.3∼1.2 wt% of $Al_2$O$_3$ was prepared by slip-casting after attrition milling. The specimen was sintered at 1390∼151$0^{\circ}C$ and mechanical characterization and microstructure analysis were conducted. Monoclinic content of the specimen was calculated by XRD. The apparent density of specimen increased with increasing sintering temperature. While above 1470%, the formation of m-ZrO$_2$ degraded the density. The microhardness of specimen decreased with temperature because monoclinic phase increased wit the grain growth. The specimen containing $Al_2$O$_3$ below 0.9 wt% sintered at 143$0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest microhardness of 1360 Hv.

반응소결 탄화규소는 소결체 내에 잔존 실리콘이 남아 있어 고온강도의 감소를 초래하는 단점이 있어 고온 구조재료로서의 사용이 제한되어 왔다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 Si 단독으로 용응침투시키는 대신 Si-MoSi₂를 침투시키는 방법이 시도되고 있으며, 이외에도 TiC 성형체에 Co, Ni 등의 금속, ZrB₂ 성형체에 Zr 금속 등을 용융, 침투시켜 성능향상을 유도하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 반응소결에 대한 기본이론과 응용분야, 반응소결 비산화물계 세라믹스의 제조공정 및 이들 소결체의 미세구조와 기계적 특성 등을 소개하고자 한다.

We studied the anisotropic shrinkage and deformation characteristics of large size sintered bodies in the manufacturing of glass-ceramic composite wasteform. We used uranium-bearing waste, generated from the treatment of spent uranium catalyst. Sintered specimens were prepared in several forms, comprising a circular disk, and a quarter disk in several diameters of up to 40 cm. Regardless of form or size, the sintered bodies had high isotropic shrinkage when they were fabricated using green bodies prepared at 60 MPa. The average anisotropy rate and average shrinkage rate were 1.6%, and 37.4%, respectively. We confirmed that the glass-ceramic composite wasteform in a large scale disk-type for packing in a 200 L drum could be fabricated with a tolerable anisotropy shrinkage. This has resulted in a significant reduction in the volume of radioactive waste to be disposed of with highly stable wasteform.

$Y_2O_3$ ceramic specimens were fabricated from the granular powder, obtained by spray drying process from the slurry. The slurry was prepared by mixing PVA binder, NaOH for Ph control, PEG and $Y_2O_3$ powder. The $Y_2O_3$ specimen was shaped in size of ${\phi}14mm$ and then sintered at $1650^{\circ}C$. The characteristics, microstructure, densities and plasma resistance of the $Y_2O_3$ specimens were investigated with the function of forming pressure and sintering time. $Y_2O_3$ specimens were exposed under the $CHF_3/O_2/Ar$ plasma, the dry etching treatment of specimens was carried out by the physical reaction etching of $Ar^+$ ion beam and the chemical reaction etching of $F^-$ ion decomposed from $CHF_3$. With increasing sintering time, $Y_2O_3$ specimens showed relatively high density and strong resistance in plasma etching test.
