Al2O3/Al composites were produced by displacement reaction method which was carried out by imm-ersing the sintered silica preform which was prepared form fused silica powder in molten aluminu. an ac-tivation energy of 94kJ/mole was calculated from Al-SiO2 reaction data in 1000-130$0^{\circ}C$ temperature range With increase of reaction temperature the alumina particle in the Al2O3/Al composites produced with pur metal Al showed grain growth and the growth of alumina particle in Al2O3/Al composite produced by using of Mg contained Al alloy was inhibited. The flexural strength of Al2O3/Al composites produced at 100$0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest value as 393 MPa. Flexural strength of the composite fabricated at 85$0^{\circ}C$ showed higher deviation than that of the composite produced at above 100$0^{\circ}C$ Low flexural strength of the composite fa-bricated at 120$0^{\circ}C$ due to the growth of pore and alumina particle size. The hardness of composites de-pended on alumina content in Al2O3/Al composite decreased with increasing of aluminium content in case the same alumina content and increased with increasing of silicon content in composite.

Three types of dispersed, coated and mechanically mixed SiC reinforced Al2O3 composite powders were used to investigate the effect of composite powder type on sintering characteristics and properties of Al2O3-SiC composites. Sinterability of coated type composite powders was superior to that of other composite powders when they were pressureless sintered at 1500~1$700^{\circ}C$ for 2h in Ar atmosphere. However, sinterabilities (>98% TD) of each type of composite powders were similar when they were hot pressed at 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h under 30MPa in N2 atmosphere. SiC powders were randomly distributed in the specimen prepared from dispersed type composite powders, whereas homogeneously distributed for coated type specimens. It was found that SiC powders inhibited the grain growth of Al2O3, and fracture toughness was increased by the increment of crack growth resistance due to residual stress by secondary SiC particles within Al2O3 grains.

Al2O3/SiC hybrid-composite has been fabricated by the conventional powder process. The addition of $\alpha$-Al2O3 as seed particles in the transformation of ${\gamma}$-Al2O3 to $\alpha$-Al2O3 provided a homogeneity of the microstructure. The grain growth of Al2O3 are significantly surpressed by the addition of nano-size SiC particles. Dislocation were produced due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between Al2O3 and SiC and piled up on SiC particles in Al2O3 matrix, resulting in transgranular fracture. The high fracture strength of the composite was contributed to the grain refinement and the transgranular fracture mode. The addition of SiC platelets to Al2O3/SiC nano-composite decreased the fracture strength, but increased the fracture toughness. Coated SiC platelets with nitrides such as BN and Si3N4 enhanced fracture toughness much more than non-coated SiC platelets by enhancing crack deflection.

Hybrid composite membranes were prepared by coating poly(ethylene oxide) and $SiO_2$ particles onto the porous polypropylene nonwoven matrix. Gel polymer electrolytes prepared by soaking the hybrid composite membranes in an organic electrolyte solution exhibited ionic conductivities higher than $1.1{\times}10^{-3}Scm^{-1}$ at room temperature. Dyesensitized solar cell (DSSC) employing the hybrid composite membrane with PEO and 10 wt % $SiO_2$ exhibited an open circuit voltage of 0.77 V and a short circuit current of 10.78 $mAcm^{-2}$ at an incident light intensity of 100 $mWcm^{-2}$, yielding a conversion efficiency of 5.2%. DSSC employing the hybrid composite membrane showed more stable photovoltaic performance than that of the DSSC assembled with liquid electrolyte.

The PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes were prepared by adding 1~40 wt% NaYzeolite to PDMS. In order to investigate the characteristics of these membranes, we used the analytical methods such as FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, and SEM. The permselectivity of $H_2$ and $N_2$ gases through the composite membranes was studied as a function of NaYzeolite contents. The permeability and selectivity ($H_2/N_2$) of PDMS membrane increased as the gas permeation pressure increased. The permeability of the PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes increased when 1~10 wt% NaYzeolite was added, and then decreased at higher wt% as NaYzeolite content increased. The selectivity ($H_2/_2$) of PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes decreased when 1~2 wt% NaYzeolite was added, and then increased as NaYzeolite content increased. As the $H_2$ permeability increased, the selectivity ($H_2/N_2$) of PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes decreased at 0~2 wt% and 10~40 wt% NaYzeolite contents, increased at 2~10 wt% NaYzeolite content.

Ni-$TiO_2$ nano composite coatings were fabricated using pulse current electrodeposition technique at 100 Hz pulse frequency with a constant 50% pulse duty cycles and reference was taken with respect to the direct current (dc) electrodeposition. The properties of the composite coatings were investigated by using SEM, XRD, Wear test and Vicker's microhardness test. Pulse electrodeposited composite has exhibited enhancement of (111), (220), and (311) diffraction lines with an attenuation of (200) line. The results demonstrated that the microhardness of composite coatings under pulse condition was significantly improved than that of pure nickel coating as well as dc electrodeposited Ni-$TiO_2$ composite coatings. Wear tracks have shown the less plastic deformation in pulse plated composite. Coefficient of friction was also found to be lower in pulse plated composite coatings as compared to dc plated composite coatings.

Effective stiffness of short fiber composite with a three-dimensional random orientation of fibers is derived theoretically and compared with available experimental data. The laminate analogy and transformed laminate analogy are used for modulus prediction of 2-D and 3-D random composites, respectively. The effective stiffness of random oriented fiber composite can be expressed in terms of longitudinal and transverse stiffnesses of unidirectional composites. The result of transformed laminate analogy is more accurate than other approaches such as, Christensen-Waals equational and Lavengood-Goettler equation, etc. Also the effective properties of random oriented fiber composite can be expressed in terms of fiber and matrix properties such as elastic modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio.

Carbon composites with $MoSi_2$ dispersion were prepared by hot-pressing at $1700^{\circ}C$ under 30 MPa for 1 h using polysilazance as binding material. The composites consisted of C, $Mo_{4.8}Si_3C_{0.6}$ and SiC. Bulk density and porosity of the carbon composites with 10 vol% $MoSi_2$ was 1.8g.$\textrm{cm}^{-3}$ and 34%, respectively. This composite was oxidized about 0.05mm from the surface of the carbon composite after oxidation test at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 10h in air. Formation of the $SiO_2$ glass layer was observed by SEM. When this composite suffered damage in the coating layer, it had hardly farther oxidation because of its self-repairing property. The composite prepared in this study indicated good oxidation resistance.
