In order to examine the process parameters for the vitrification of Low and Intermediate Level radioactive Waste (LILW) generated from nuclear power plants, measurements of several melt properties was performed for four selected glasses containing simulated waste. Electrical conductivity and viscosity were determined at temperatures ranging from 1123 to $1673^{\circ}C$. The temperature dependences of both properties in the molten state showed a similar behavior in which their values decrease as the temperature increases. The values of the electrical conductivity and viscosity at a temperature of 1423K adopted in an induction cold crucible melter process were $0.27{\sim}0.42$ S/cm and $9.8{\sim}42$ dPas, respectively.

Ferroelectric Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3 thin films were successfully fabricated on ITO/Glass substrate by sol-gel proces-sing and characterized to determine the dielectric and electric properties. Viscosity of PEN sol measured to investigate rheological properties was 3.25 cP which was proper for coating. The sol also showed Newtonian behavior. RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) was used for the annealing of the thin film and 1200~1700$\AA$ thick PEN thin films were fabricated by repeating the intermediate and the final annealing. After the deposition of Pt as top electrode by vacuum evaporation dielectric and electric properties were measured. Dielectric properties of FFN thin film were enhanced by increasing the perovskite phase fraction with increasing the annealing temperature. Measured dielectric constant of 1700$\AA$ PFN thin film annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ was 890 at 1kHz Capacitatnce density and dielectric loss were 47 fF/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$2 and 0.47 respectively. As a result of measuring Curie temperature PFN thin films had Curie point with a rang of 110~12$0^{\circ}C$ and showed broad dielectric peak at that point. Leakage current of the PFN thin films were increased with increasing the annealing tempera-ture.

In nowdays many dental CAD/CAM system were developed. Among those only Cerec and Celay were used globally as clinical application. Celay is a machinable ceramic system that is capable of milling inlays, onlays, and veneers from prefabricated industrial ceramic blocks(Vita Celay Blanks). The advatages of Celay are to simplify the manufactures and to save the processing time. For esthetics In-Ceram Alumina bridges were introduced into maxillary anterior restoration. They have a high strength, a high translucency and an excellent marginal adapation. But the laboratory processes are very difficult and complicated. So the construction of In-Ceram Alumina bridge combined with celay system was desgined. The patient is a 28 year old age male. The chief complain is missing of maxillary left central incisor. He wants to restore anterior bridge for esthetically. The Alumina bridge framework was constructed easily by celay system. Glass ilfiltration was occurred. After that, vitadura-${\alpha}$porcelain build up was occurred by conventional method. The translucency of In-Ceram Alumina 3 unit bridge revealed to be superior to that of porcelain fused to metal bridge. So we report it with clincal case and literature reviews.

C-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were deposited on Cornign 1737 glass substrate by an rf magnetron sputtering technique. The effects of deposition parameters and post heat-treatment on the crystallinity and electical properties of ZnO films were investigaed. As-deposited ZnO films showed the strong c-axis growth and excellent crystallinity under the deposition conditions as follows: substrate temperature 350$^{\circ}C$ ; growth and excellent crystallinity under the deposition conditions as follows ; substrate temperature 350$^{\circ}C$ rf power 75W ; gas pressure 6m Torr; percentage of oxygen 50% The higher heat-treating temperatue was the stronger c-axis growth and the better crystallinity of the deposited ZnO films were. The resistivity of ZnO films was significantly affected by deposition parameters and post heat-treatment. With increasing increased. After post heat-treating at 400$^{\circ}C$ in air the resistivity of ZnO films increased but post heat-treat-ing temperature 500$^{\circ}C$ rather diminished the film resistivity.

Transparent TiO$_{2}$ sols were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis to heat Ti precursor solutions, from Ti hydroxides obtained with neutralizing aqueous TiOCl$_{2}$ solutions having various concentrations of NaCI by aqueous NaOH solution, in the autoclave at 120$^{\circ}C$ The photocatalytic abilities of glass beads coated with the sol for gaseous benzene were evaluated. As a result, it was found that due to the increase of brookite phase in TiO$_{2}$ by controlling the concentration of Na ion the optical absorption of TiO$_{2}$ increases toward long wavelength but that in the area of short wavelength becomes relatively low and consequently the photocatalytic performance of TiO$_{2}$ thin film for benzene gas rather decreases, compared to that of composite film of anatase and brookite phases. These results suggest that in order for coated TiO$_{2}$ thin film to have high dissociation performance for benzene gas it is effective to form anatase and brookite phases compositely in TiO$_{2}$.

Al2O3/metal composites were fabricated by oxidation and reaction of molten Al-alloy into two types of commercial Al2O3-SiO2 fibrous insulation board. The growth rate, composition and microstructure of these materials were described. An AlZnMg(7075) alloy was selected as a parent alloy. Mixed polycrystalline fiber and glass phase fiber were used as a filler. The growth surface of an alloy was covered with and without SiO2. SiO2 powder was employed as a surface dopant to aid initial oxidation of Al-alloy. Al-alloy, SiO2, fiber block and growth inhibitor CaSiO3 were packed sequentially in a alumina crucible and oxidized in air at temperature range 90$0^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$. The growth rate of composite layer was calculated by measuring the mass increasement(g) per unit surface($\textrm{cm}^2$). XRD and optical microscope were used to investigate the composition and phase of composites. The composite grown at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and with SiO2 dopant showed rapid growth rate. The growth behavior differed a little depending on the types of fiber used. The composites consist of $\alpha$-Al2O3, Al, Si and pore. The composite grown at 100$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited better microstructure compared to that grown at 120$0^{\circ}C$.

Gallium doped zinc oxide(GZO) films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates without substrate heating $(T_s<50^{\circ}C$) by dc planar magnetron sputtering using GZO ceramic oxide targe with different inert gas (Ar, or Ne). For the GZO films deposited under different total gas pressure $(P_{tot})$, structural and electrical properties were investigated by XRD and Hall effect measurements. Crystallinity of GZO films deposited using Ar was degraded with increase in $(P_{tot})$, suggesting that it was heavily affected by kinetic energy of sputtered Zn particles$(PA_{zn})$ arriving at substrate surface. Whereas, crystallinity of GZO films deposited at lower Ptot than 3.0 Pa using Ne gas was degraded with decrease in $(P_{tot})$. This degradation was considered to be result of film damage caused by the bombardment of high-energy neutrals ($Ne^{\circ}$). On the basis of a hard sphere collision processes, the average final energy of particles (sputtered Zn, $Ar^{\circ}$and $Ne^{\circ}$)arriving at substrate surface were estimated.

Heavy metal fluoride glasses exhibit considerable promise as high transparency materials from the UV to the IR. These glasses are prepared by fusion of the mixture of metal fulorides($ZrF_4$, $BaF_2$, $LaF_3$ etc) at 800-1, 00$0^{\circ}C$ under the inert$(N_2)$ or reactive ($CCl_4$, $Cl_2$) atmosphere following the casting into glass on cooling. Infrared absorption at the 3, 400 cm-1 -OH peak has been measured as a function of thickness for several ZrF-$BaF_2$-LaF and $HfF_4$-$BaF_2$-$LaF_3$ glasses to separate contributions from bulk and surface -OH. For glasses melted under $CCl_4$ reactive atmosphere the peak is due almost entirely to surface-OH. and melting in a closed reactor was best for removing -OH. In ambient atmosphere the -OH peak exhibited no time dependence over a 30 d period indicating a very small rate of surface attack by atmospheric H2O. Removal of -OH absorption processing was generally easier and more complete for the $BaF_2$/ThF4-glasses than for the $ZrF_4$-or $HfF_4$-based glasses.

Sol-Gel derived ferroelectric PZT thin films were fabricated on ITO/Glass substrate. Two kinds of rapid thermal annealing methods, R-I (six times of intermediate and final annealing) and R-II (one final annealing after six times of intermediate annealing) were used for preparation of multi-coated PZT thin films. 2500$\AA$-thick PZT thin films were obtained by the R-I and R-II methods and characterized by microstructure and dielectric properties. In case of using R-II, the microstructure was finer than that of R-I and there was no distinguishable difference in dielectric properties of PZT thin films between the R-I and R-II methods. But dielectric properties were enhanced by increasing perovskite phase fraction with increasing annealing temperature. Measured dielectric constant of PZT thin film annealed at 62$0^{\circ}C$ using the R-I method was 256 at 1kHz. Its remanant polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) were 14.4$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 64kV/cm, respectively.
