Bioactive glass (BG) finds limited use as a bone replacement material owing to its low mechanical properties. In order to solve this problem, the micro-sized 13-93 BG was prepared as a fabric composite with SiC microfibers, and its mechanical properties and biocompatibility were investigated in this study. The tensile strengths of BG-SiC fiber-bundle composites increased in proportion to the number of SiC fibers. In particular, even when only one SiC fiber was substituted, the tensile strength increased by 81% to 1428 MPa. In the early stage of the in-vitro test, a silica-rich layer was formed on the surface of the 13-93 BG fibers. With time, calcium phosphate grew on the silica-rich layer and the BG fibers were delaminated. On the other hand, no products were observed on the SiC fibers for 7 days, therefore, SiC fibers are expected to maintain their strength even after transplantation in the body.

Glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites were manufactured by Rapid Press Consolidation Technique(RPCT) as functions of temperature, pressure and time in pre-heating, consolidation and solidification sections during the manufacturing processing. It was found that the material property is greatly affected by pre-heating temperature under vacuum, mold temperature and molding pressure. Among them, the temperature In the mold was the most critical factor in determining the mechanical properties and the molded conditions of specimen. The crystallinity of PET matrix was also investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) measurements for various processing conditions. The level of crystallinity($X_c$) depended strongly on the mold temperature, cooling rate and the type of composite. The difference in $X_c$ is believed to be one of important factors in characterizing the mechanical properties.

The formation, microstructure and properties of MoSi2/SiC ceramic composites by polymer pyrolysis were investigated for the application of heating element material. Polymethylsiloxanes were mixed with Si, SiC, MoSi2 as filler and ceramic composites prepared by pyrolysis in N2 atmosphere at 1320~145$0^{\circ}C$ were studied. Dimensional change, density variation and phases were analyzed and correlated to the resulting material properties. Microstructures of ceramic composite prepared by polymer pyrolysis were composed of MoSi2, SiC and silicon oxycarbide glass matrix. Depending on the pyrolysis conditions, ceramic composites with a density of 86~90 TD%, a fracture strength of 213~284 MPa, a thermal expansion coefficient of 4~7$\times$10-6 were obtained. The electrical resistivity of the specimen decreased with increasing of temperature up to 50$0^{\circ}C$.

Barium zincoborate (BZB) glass was added to $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$, and sintered at $875^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in air. When the BZB glass was added in quantities ranging from 15 to 20 wt%, the relative bulk density ranged from 93.1% to 94.2%, while the density decreased to roughly 81% thereafter up to 30 wt% glass addition. Quantitative XRD analysis showed that the $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$ filler was significantly dissolved into the BZB glass. However, no secondary phase was identified by XRD up to 30 wt% glass addition. The dielectric constant was about 130 to 140 at 1MHz up to 20 wt% BZB glass addition, while it decreased to about 60 thereafter, which may be ascribed to decreased density, partial dissolution of the $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$, and associated changes in the glass composition. The dielectric loss of the 20 wt% glass added specimen was 0.008.

The effects of temperature and initial crack length on impact fracture behavior of side plate material of 35 ton class FRP ship, which are composed by glass fiber and unsaturated polyester resin, were investigated. Impact fracture toughness of GF/PE composites displayed maximum value when the temperature of specimen is room temperature and $50^{\circ}C$, and with decrease in temperature of specimen, impact fracture toughness decreased. Impact fracture energy of GF/EP composites decreased with increase in initial crack length of specimen, and this value decreased rapidly when the temperature of specimen is lowest, $-25^{\circ}C$,. It is believed that sensitivity of notch on impact fracture energy were increased with decrease in temperature of specimen. As the GF/EP composites exposed in low temperature, impact fracture toughness of composites decreased gradually owing to the decrease of interface bonding strength caused by difference of thermal expansion coefficient between the glass fiber/polyester resin. Further, decrease of interface bonding strength of composites with decrease in specimen temperature was ascertained by SEM photograph of impact fracture surface.

The possibility of application or the transparent BK10 glass fiber/PMMA composites as a temperature-or wavelength-sensors was studied. Measurement of diameter and refractive index for glass fibers to be reinforced to PMMA as a function of drawing speed and temperature was done and the appropriate coating methods and solvent for coupling agent was researched. $T_{max%}$ value at which the maximum transmission for the composites occurs could be controlled to be in $31~50^{\circ}C$ by the processing factors such as fiber diameter, fiber vol%, molecular wt. of PMMA. Furthermore, with different wavelength other than 589.3 nm, the $T_{max%}$ value could be controlled to be in $35~55^{\circ}C$. For the sensibility of wavelength for the composites, there was not a wavelength ($\lamda_{max%}$) showing maximum transmission.

The purpose of this study was to process bio-active glass ceramic composite, reinforced with sapphire fibers, by hot press. Also to study the interface of the matrix and the sapphire fiber, and the mechanical properties. Glass raw materials melted in Pt crucible at 1300$^{\circ}C$ during 3.5 hours. The melt was crushed in ball mill and then crushed material, ground and sieved to $<40{\beta}{\mu}m$. Sapphire fibers cut (30mm) and aligned. Powder and fibers hot pressed. The micrographs show good bonding between the matrix and the fiber and no porosity in the glass matrix. This means ideal fracture phenomena. Glass is fractured before the fiber. This is indication of good fracture strength. EDXS showing aluminum rich phase and crystalline phase. Bright field image of the matrix showing crystalline phase. Also diffraction pattern of TEM showing the crystalline phase and more than one phase. Strength of the samples was determined by 3 point bend testing. Strength of the 10vol% sample was approximately 69MPa, while strength of the control sample is 35MPa. Conclusions through this study as follow: 1. Micrographs show no porosity in the glass matrix and the interface. 2. The interface between the fiber and the glass matrix show no gaps. 3. Fracture of the glass indicates characteristic fiber-matrix separation. 4. Presence of crystalline phase at high processing temperature. 5. Sapphire is compatible with bioactive glass.

The behavior of abrasive wear on counterpart roughness of glass fiber reinforcement polyurethane resin (GF/PUR) composites were investigated at ambient temperature by pin-on-disc friction test. The friction coefficient, cumulative wear volume and surface roughness of these materials against SiC abrasive paper were determined experimentally. The major failure mechanisms were lapping layers, ploughing, delamination, deformation of resin and cracking by scanning electric microscopy (SEM) photograph of the tested surface. As increasing the counterpart roughness the GF/PUR composites indicated higher friction coefficient. The surface roughness of the GF/PUR composites was increased as the sliding velocity was higher and the counterpart roughness was rougher in wear test.

The effect of load and sliding speed on abrasive wear characteristics of glass fiber/polyurethane (GF/PUR) composites were investigated at ambient temperature by pin-on-disc friction test. The friction coefficient, cumulative wear volume and surface roughness of these materials against SiC abrasive paper were determined experimentally. Experimental results showed that the surface roughness of the GF/PUR composites was increased as applied load was higher in wear test. The cumulative wear volume tended to increase nonlinearly with increase of sliding distance and depended on applied load and sliding speed for these composites. It could be verified by scanning electric microscopy (SEM) photograph of surface tested that major failure mechanisms were lapping layers, ploughing, delamination, deformation of resin and cracking.

SiC composites were developed by incorporating glass phase into SiC, in the light of improving mechanical properties of material for spectacle lens cutting. Specimens for spectacle lens cutting with glass phase as sintering additives have been fabricated by hot-pressing at $1810^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr under a pressure of 25 MPa. The fracture toughness and hardness of hot-pressed specimens were characterized and compared with previous works. Typical hardness and fracture toughness of materials for spectacle lens cutting were 12 GPa and $5.1MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ respectively.
