반응결합 알루미나(RBAO)-SiC 세라믹스를 AI금속분말/$AI_2O_3$/SiC 분말혼합체로부터 제조하였다. 하소알루미나와 용융알루미나를 알루미나 분말공급원으로 사용하였다. 출발원료는 단일구경(3mm)또는 혼합구경(3mm+5mm)의 $ZrO_2$볼로 어트리션 밀링 하였다. 정수압 성형한 시편을 $1100^{\circ}C$까지$ 1.5^{\circ}C$/mim로 1차소성한 다음,$ 1500^{\circ}C$~$1600^{\circ}C$까지 $5^{\circ}C$/mim으로 2차소성하였다. 용융알루미나와의 분말혼합체가 하소알루미나와의 분말혼합체보다 분쇄가 더욱 잘 되었다. 또한 단일구가 혼합구보다 분쇄에 더욱 효율적이었다. $AI_2O_3$ 형태에 따른 반응소결거동에는 별 차이가 없었다.

In this study, graphite composites were fabricated by warm press molding method to realize commercialization of PEM fuel cells. Graphite composites have been considered as alternative economic materials for bipolar plate of PEM fuel cells. Graphite powder that enables to provide electrical conductivity was selected as the main substance. The graphite powder was mixed with phenolic resin and the mixture was pressed using a warm press method. First of all, the graphite powder was pulverized with a ball mill for the dense packing of composite. As the ball milling time increases, the average size of particles decreases and the size distribution becomes narrow. This allows for improvement of the uniformity of graphite composite. However, the surface electrical resistivity of graphite composite increases as the ball milling time increases. It is due to that graphite particles with amorphous phase are generated on the surface due to the friction and collision of particles during pulverizing. We found that the contact electrical resistivity of graphite particles increases as the particle size decreases. The contact electrical resistivity of graphite powders was reduced due to high molding pressure by warm press molding. This leads to improvement of the mechanical properties of graphite composite. Hydrogen gas impermeability was measured with the graphite composite, showing a possibility of the application for bipolar plate in fuel cell. And, I-V curves of the graphite composite bipolar plate exhibit a similar performance to the graphite bipolar plate.

진이급속 산화물은 전기화학적 산소 발생/환원에 대한 bifunctional 촉매효과가 있어 금속-공기 이차전지와 같은 에너지 저장기술 개발에 연구대상이 되어왔다. Amorphous citrate precursor법을 이용하여 perovskite 구조를 갖는 La-Ca-Co 산화물과 pyrochlore 구조를 갖는 Pb-Ru 산화물을 제조하고, 이후 열처리법으로 표면적이 큰 전이금속 산화물 촉매분말을 제조하였다. PTFE 결합 기체확산형 전극의 충방전 실험을 통하여 전기화학적 산소발생/환원에 대한 좋은 촉매능을 가짐을 확인하였고, ${\pm}25mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도를 가하고 공기를 공급하면서 충방전 실험한 결과 100시간 이내에서 두촉매분말 모두 안정하였다. ACP법으로 제조한 perovskite 구조의 La0.6Ca0.4CoO3과 pyrochlore 구조의 Pb2Ru2O6가 이차전지용 공기전극 재료로 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The tribological property of ceramics is very important for use in seal rings, pump parts, thread guides and mechanical seal, etc. In the present study, which RBSC/graphite composites were manufactured by adding graphite powders with different particle sizes to mixtures of SiC powder, metallic silicon, carbon black and alumina, effects on the tribological property of each RBSC/graphite composite was investigated in accordance with the particle size of the added graphite powder. The water absorption, the bending strength and the resistance for the friction and wear were measured, and the crystalline phase and the microstructure were respectively examined by using XRD and SEM. In case that the particle size of the graphite powder was fine(2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), the formation of $\beta$-SiC was accelerated, thereby making the increase of the bending strength and the decrease of the water absorption, but no improvement for the tribological properties. Furthermore, in case that the particle size of the graphite powder was some large(88~149${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), the formation of $\beta$-SiC was not accelerated, to thereby make the decrease of the bending strength and the increase of the water absorption, but the improvement for the tribological property of only the composite having the graphite powder of 20 vol%. In addition, in case that the particle size distribution of the graphite powder was large (under 53 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), there was no improvement for every properties. However, the composites, which the graphite powder with the particle size of 53~88 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was added in 10~15 vol%, had the most increased resistance for the friction and wear which show the worn out amount of 0.4~0.6$\times$10-3 $\textrm{cm}^2$, and the value of the bending strength is 380~520 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

반도체 폐 Si슬러지를 이용하여 질화반응 및 post-sintering을 통해 제조된 질화규소세라믹의 미세조직 및 기계적 특성을 광학현미경, SEM 및 XRD를 이용하여 연구하였다. 상당량의 $SiO_2$ 비정질상을 포함하는 폐 Si분말에서 많은 microcracks이 관찰되었다. 폐 슬러지를 사용한 Si 성형체의 질화율은 상용되고 있는 Si분말을 이용한 성형체의 값에 비해 낮은 값을 보였다. 그러나 질화온도가 증가함에 따라 질화율은 증가하였으며 1470$^{\circ}C$에서 질화율은 98%를 보였다. 반응소결체내에 존재하는 $Si_3N_4$의 결정은 ${\alpha}$와 ${\beta}$상으로 혼재되어 있으며 상당량의 산질화규소상이 검출되었다. 1950$^{\circ}C$에서 후처리된 시료의 최대파괴인성 및 파괴강도 값은 각각 5.6 $^MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$과 497 MPa로 H. C. Starck사의 Si을 이용한 것에 비해 낮은 값을 보였으며 이는 산질화규소 형성에 기인한 것으로 사료된다.
