오염된 폐수를 처리하는 과정으로 다양한 방법이 사용되고 있으나, 담체를 이용하여 미생물을 배양하고, 미생물에 의해 정수하는 방법이 이용되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 미생물을 배양을 위한 담체의 조건으로 다양한 크기의 연속기공을 갖고, 젖음성과 표면거칠기가 높으며, 이들 중 초기 미생물번식의 조건을 제공하는 기체 포집용 미세기공을 보유하고, 미생물이 성장할 수 있는 수백 $\mu\textrm{m}$까지의 다양한 크기의 연속된 기공을 갖는 미생물 담체용 다공성 세라믹스의 제조를 목적으로 본 연구를 행하였다. 본 연구는 다양한 크기의 기공분포를 형성하기 위하여 첨가물로 activated carbon과 무기염, 고분자 binder를 활성알루미나 기지재료에 사용하여 수열반응에 의해 각각의 물질이 형성할 수 있는 기공의 크기를 확인하고, 수 nm에서 수백 $\mu\textrm{m}$까지의 연속된 기공이 존재하는 담체를 제조하였다. 수열조건과 첨가물의 양에 따라 수은침투가압을 이용하여 기공의 크기와 분포를 측정하고 평균기공률을 얻을 수 있었고, 압축강도를 측정하고, 기공의 형상을 주사전자현미경을 통해 확인하였다.

Alumina slurriers, having various amount of alumina and ratio of organic additives, were prepared for tape casting. The relative viscosities were compared to investigate influence of composition on stability of the slurry and plotted as a function of powder fraction. They raised with increasing powder fraction of slurries, revealing a exponential function curve, which means that stability of slurry was not affected by amount and composition of organic additives. Cast green tapes were tested under tensile condition at room temperature. The increase in alumina ratio and binder ratio was found to decrease strain to failure of green tapes from 363% to 45% and from 68% to 25%, respectively. Tensile strength of green tapes increased abruptly with increasing alumina ratio, which showed its maximum at 1 MPa. On other hand, Tensile strength increased continuously from 0.5 MPa to 4 MPa with increasing binder ratio. Mechanical properties of them were affected seriously and lost their properties by elevating temperature from 20$^{\circ}C$ to 80$^{\circ}C$.

The microstructure and electrical properties of the nonlinear ZnO varistor with A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$ additions is investigated. The variation of nonlinear behavior with A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$ additions is indicated from J-E and C-V measurement to be a result of the change of the interface defects density $N_{t}$ at the grain boundaries and the donor concentration $N_{d}$ in the ZnO grains. The optimum composition which has the nonlinear coefficients of -57 was observed in the sample with 0.005wt% A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$ additions. The conduction mechanism at the pre-breakdown region is consistent with a Schottky thermal emission process obeying a relation given by $J^{\var}$exp[-(.psi.-.betha. $E^{1}$2/)kT] and the conduction process at the breakdown region follows a Fowler-Nordheim tunneling mechanism of the form $J^{\var}$exp(-.gamma./E).

3D printing technology has attracted considerable attention because of its potential to fabricate the intricate design of ceramic products. In this study, ceramic 3D nozzle printing was introduced to manufacture complex alumina products with a ceramic pigment. The alumina paste was formulated by incorporating an elastomer to impart viscoelastic properties. Viscoelastic pastes play an essential role in ceramic 3D nozzle printing. The effects of the viscoelastic properties of the ceramic pastes on their printability were assessed using comprehensive rheological analysis, and various shapes were printed. As a result, the paste with a high yield stress showed better printability. In addition, a ceramic pigment was added to the developed pastes to increase the aesthetics of the printed ceramic structure. The printed ceramic parts were sintered in air at 1300 ℃. The stability of the ceramic pigment was confirmed even after high-temperature sintering.

Silicon carbide is considered to be a potentially useful material for high-temperature electronic devices, as its band gap is larger than that of silicon and the p-type and/or n-type conduction can be controlled by impurity doping. Particularly, porous n-type SiC ceramics fabricated from ${\beta}-SiC$ powder have been found to show a high thermoelectric conversion efficiency in the temperature region of $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$. For the application of SiC thermoelectric semiconductors, their figure of merit is an essential parameter, and high temperature (above $800^{\circ}C$) electrodes constitute an essential element. Generally, ceramics are not wetted by most conventional braze metals,. but alloying them with reactive additives can change their interfacial chemistries and promote both wetting and bonding. If a liquid is to wet a solid surface, the energy of the liquid-solid interface must be less than that of the solid, in which case there will be a driving force for the liquid to spread over the solid surface and to enter the capillary gaps. Consequently, using Ag with a relatively low melting point, the junction of the porous SiC semiconductor-Ag and/or its alloy-SiC and/or alumina substrate was studied. Ag-20Ti-20Cu filler metal showed promise as the high temperature electrode for SiC semiconductors.
