This study was conducted to research the formation and the color development of CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3-TiO2-SnO2 system for the purpose of synthesizing the spinel pigments which are stable at high temperature. After preparing CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3, in which CoO causes the color, as a basic composition, $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.Fe2O3 system, $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.TiO2 system and $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.SnO2 system were prepared with $\chi$=0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 mole ratio respectively. The manufacturing was carried out at 128$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 minutes. These specimens were analyzed by the reflectance measurement and the X-ray diffraction analysis and the results were summarized as follows: 1. All of the specimens formed the spinel structure and were colored with stable yellow or blue. 2. As the content of CoO and Fe2O3 in the specimens being increased, the reflectance of each specimen was measured becoming lower and the colors were changed from yellow to greyish blue and from blue to dark blue. 3. As the substituting amount of Co2+ ion for Zn2+ ion in $\chi$CoO-ZnO-TiO2-SnO2 system being increased, the colors were changed from blue to greyish blue. The colors were changed from yellow to grayish green owing to the tetrahedral Co2+ ions being increased, the octahedral Co2+ ions being decreased with increasing the amount of Sn4+ ions. 4. CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3-TiO2-SnO2 system, in which Zn2+ was substituted with Co2+ and Fe3+ was substituted with Ti4+ and Sn4+, easily formed the spinel structure without regard to the amount of substitution or the ion owing to the selectivity of the coordination number: 4 of Zn2+, 4 of Co2+, 6 of Fe3+ or 6 of Ti4+ and Sn4+.

The nickel oxide, the most widely used cathode material for the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), has several disadvantages including NiO dissolution, poor mechanical strength, and corrosion phenomena during MCFC operation. The surface modification of NiO with lanthanum maintains the advantages, such as performance and stability, and suppresses the disadvantages of NiO cathode because the modification results in the formation of $LaNiO_3$ phase which has high conductivity, stability, and catalytic activity. As a result, La-modified NiO cathode shows low NiO dissolution, high degree of lithiation, and mechanical strength, and high cell performance and catalytic activity in comparison with the pristine NiO. These enhanced physico-chemical and electrochemical properties and the durability in marine environment allow MCFC to marine application as a auxiliary propulsion system.

The possible use of bioglass as implant materials is due to its biocompatibility to human body. Even if many animal studies for the bioglasses have been performed, their compositional dependences of structures and physical properties are not fully understood. In the present work, physical property measurements such as density and thermal expansion coefficient were carried out for the bioglasses, with substitution of CaO for Na2O in bioglass composition (46.1%SiO2, 24.4%Na2O, 26.9%CaO, 2.6%P2O5:mol%). Hydroxyapatite formation on the glass surface was also examined after reacted in Tris-buffer solution. As CaO was substituted for Na2O, the bond strength between nonbridging oxygen and modifier became stronger to make glass structure rigid, and resulted in increase in density and decrease in thermal expansion coefficient. When the bioglasses were reacted in Tris-buffer solution, hydroxyapatite was formed on the bioglass surface for all prepared glasses in 2 hours, independently on CaO content, and the thickness of hydroxyapatite layer was decreased a little, while the thickness of SiO2 rich layer was decreased sharply with CaO content.

Crystallizable glasses with precipitation of celsian were prepared for the purpose of insulating dielectric layers for the devices such as integrated circuit substrates. Crystallization behavior of these glasses were studied by DTA, SEM, XRD analysis and by the measurement of dielectric properties. The base composition of the glass-ceramic consists in weight percent of 30% SiO2, 10% Al2O3, 26% BaO, 10% CaO, 10% ZnO, 8%TiO2 and 6% B2O3. 2-6 wt% Y2O3 were selected as the nucleating agent to promote monoclinic celsian formation. As a result, in barium-rich glasses containing 4~6wt% Y2O3 , monoclinic celsian was developed as major crystalline phase in the temperature range of 850~90$0^{\circ}C$. Also, the dielectric constant and quality factor of these glass-ceramics were about 9 and more than 1000, respectively.

Gas sensing materials for detecting inflammable gas such as alcohol, propane, acetic acid, carbon monoxide, hydrogen were developed by utiliting $MgO-Cr_2O_3-TiO_2$ system. Between 30$0^{\circ}C$ and 50$0^{\circ}C$, reversible chemisorption becomes dominant and the electrical canduction of P-type semiconductive with the gas chemisorption. The ceramic sensor exhibits a high sensitivity to particular reducing gas such as alcohol, whereas propane and butane have little effect on the resistivity. The time response of adsorption is estimated to be about 20 sec. On the other hand, the desorption process, which corresponds to oxidation due to oxygen adsorption, take more than 60 sec. Thus the ceramic sensor can be used as a alcohol sensor in an ambient aunosphere. As the oxygen concentration is increased from 0.1 to 10 precent($10^3-10^6ppm$), the resistance decreases rapidly but stabilizes at higher concentration.

ZnO nanofibers were electro-spun from a solution containing poly 4-vinyl phenol and Zn acetate dihydrate. The calcination process of the ZnO/PVP composite nanofibers brought forth a random network of polycrystalline wurtzite ZnO nanofibers of 30 nm to 70 nm in diameter. The electrical properties of the ZnO nanofibers were governed by the grain boundaries. To investigate possible applications of the ZnO nanofibers, their CO and $NO_2$ gas sensing responses are demonstrated. In particular, the $SnO_2$-deposited ZnO nanofibers exhibit a remarkable gas sensing response to $NO_2$ gas as low as 400 ppb. Oxide nanofibers emerge as a new proposition for oxide-based gas sensors.

The microstructures of aluminas, included of dissolved CaO as $\alpha$-alumina seeded pseudo-boehmite hydrosol was gelled in plaster mold and doped of MgO as dipping of calcines(120$0^{\circ}C$-2h) into Mg-nitrate solution, were compared to the one of which additives are excluded during the gellation. It was formed the boundary layer of 300~350${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ distance from surface to the inside, containing of approximately 500ppm CaO by dissolved Ca from plaster mold. As the MgO addition to the boundary layer with dissolved CaO, the microstructure of the layer was uniformed and inhibited the grian growth, compared to one of that additives be excluded specimen and of MgO doped-inside region. This result was considered as abnormal grain growth and effect of flat boundary formation be appeared by effects of dissolved CaO, were decreased by MgO co-doping.

The glass compositions of $PbO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ system and $P_2O_5-PbO-ZnO$ system for the transparent dielectric materials for front panel and $P_2O_5$-ZnO-BaO and $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ for the reflective dielectric materials for back panel of PDP (Plasma Display Panel) were investigated. As a result, transparent dielectric materials for front panel showed good dielectric properties, high transparency, and proper thermal expansion matching to soda lime glass substrate. And the reflective dielectric layers for back panel were prepared from two series of parent glass and oxide filler. It was found that these glassceramics are useful materials for dielectric layers in PDP device, as they have similar thermal expansion to soda-lime glass plate, high reflectance, and low sintering temperature. In particular, the addition of $BPO_4$ and $TiO_2$ as fillers to $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ system is considered to be the most effective for acquiring good properties of lower dielectric layer for PDP device.

Tetragonal ZrO2 polycrystal (TZP), consisted of 90.24 mol% ZrO2-5.31 mol% Y2O3-4.45 mol% Nb2O5, were prepared using hot-press and mechanical properties and high-temperature degradation were investigated. The specimen, hot-pressed for 1 h at 140$0^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere, exhibited flexural strength of 1010 MPa and fracture toughness of 7.5 MPam1/2 and experienced no low-temperature degradation below 40$0^{\circ}C$. However, as aged for 100h at temperatures higher than 40$0^{\circ}C$, TZP was suffered by high-temperature degradation due to an extensive cavitation caused by the oxidation of carbon. XPS observation revealed that the carbon incorporated in TZPs during hot-pressing exists as either an ether-type CO or a carbonyl-type C=O. Despite of the high-temperature degradation of t-ZrO2 co-doped with Y2O3 and Nb2O5, its flexural strength and fracture toughness were superior to those of the commercial 3 mol% Y2O3-TZP hot-pressed under the identical condition as determined before and after the aging treatments.
