In this study we investigated the gelation time of sol which containing mixtures of TEOS with H2O, ethanol, HCl in the preparation of monolithic silica glass through Sol-Gel method. In this case apparent activation energies were observed by Arrhenius equation. We investigated the conversion from gel to glass in drying and heat treatment stages using DT-TG, FT-IR, XRD analysis and dried gel conversed to glass by heat treatment up to 85$0^{\circ}C$. The results of this experiment showed that the gelation time of solutions were promoted when increasing the amount of addition of H2O and HCl catalyst for TEOS and high reaction temperature of solution.

The relative electrical conductivity of vacuum deposited Al films on a soda-lime(2947) and an alumino boro silicate(7809) glass was investigated with the variation of the relative humidity,temperature and film thickness. The structure and microstructure of Al films before and after exposure to the humidity wereexamined by the X-ray Diffractormenter(XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). As the relative humidity increased, the electrical conductivity of Al films on both glasses was decreased. However, the Al films on 7809 glass showed higher conductivity than that of 2947 glass under the same testing conditions. The decreasing of electrical conductivity was caused by the formation of Aluminum hydroxide which was made by the reaction between the aluminum films and water vapor.

To produce fine structure with uniform surface of barrier ribs in PDP, acid etching process has been used in manufacture process. It is necessary to understand the mechanism of etching, particularly on the interface of ceramic fillers and matrix glass. We investigated the effect of ceramic fillers (ZnO, $Al_{2}O_3$) on the microstructure of borate glass system to find an etching mechanism of barrier ribs. The harrier ribs was etched with a several steps, dissolving a small amount of residual glass, taking out alumina fillers, and removing a cluster type of ZnO fillers and glass matrix.

To produce a fine structure with uniform surface of barrier ribs in PDP, acid etching process has been used in manufacture process. It is necessary to understand the mechanism of etching, particularly on the interface of ceramic fillers and matrix glass. We investigated the effect of ceramic fillers (ZnO, $Al_2O_3$) on the microstructure of borate glass system to find an etching mechanism of barrier ribs. The barrier ribs was etched with several steps, dissolving a small amount of residual glass, taking out alumina fillers, and removing a cluster type of ZnO fillers and glass matrix.

In producing cordierite glass-ceramics by sintering, following experiments were conducted in order to determine the optimum heat-treatment schedule for high-crystallinity and dense sintered body. The glass composition of 11.67MgO-29.46Al2O3-52.88SiO2-5P2O5-1B2O3 (wt%) was selected on the basis of the early experiment. The 3-step heat treatment schedule was determined by the results of DTA, Dilatometric measurement and high-temperature XRD, where the particle-size-controlled glass powder was used. The degree of densification and the crystallinity were evaluated by the measurement of the bulk density and X-ray scattering intensity. The specimen fired with the optimum conditions showed ${\alpha}$-cordierite phase, relative density ∼98%, crystallinity ∼92%, thermal expansion coefficient ∼30${\times}$10-7/$^{\circ}C$, dielectric constant ∼5.5 and resistivity ∼1.0${\times}$1012 {{{{ OMEGA }}cm, respectively.

$P_2O_5-ZnO-SiO_2-R_2O$ glasses were synthesized as a sealing material for large scale dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Compositional effects of $P_2O_5$ and ZnO were examined by varying their contents. Their viscosity and glass stability at sintering temperatures of less than $550^{\circ}C$ were examined by flow button test. Glass transition temperature and structural change upon compositional change were investigated. Chemical stability against electrolyte was also examined by immersing the glasses in the electrolyte for 72 h at $85^{\circ}C$.

CdS doped SiO2 glass coating films which are good candidates for the nonlinear optical materials were prepared by the Sol-Gel method. TEOS, C2H5OH, H2O and HCl were used as starting materials to obtain SiO2 matrix solutions. Then Cd(NO3)2.2H2O and CS(NH2)2 were dissolved into the SiO2 matrix solutions. Coating was performed several times in order to increase the thickness of coated film by the dip-coating method. Then heat treatments were carried out to control the size of CdS microcrystals doped in SiO2 glass matrix with respect to temperatures and times. CdS-doped SiO2 transparent coating films were successfully obtained. CdS crystals were changed from cubic to hexagonal type about $600^{\circ}C$.

Up-conversion of rare-earth element added glass is promising area for short wavelength laser source by utilizing high power semiconductor infra-red laser if the efficiency can be increased by proper method. In this study, relatively low phonon energy fluoride glasses were prepared by co-doping rare-earth elements to realize the high efficiency up-convertor. The physical, chemical, andoptical properties of co-doped fluoride glasses were measured. 10 combinations of 5 different rare-earth fluoride elements doped samples were prepared and their transition temperatures, chemical durability, density, hardness, refractive index, absorption, fluorescence, and fluorescence lifetime were measured. 480nm wavelengths blue up-conversion was found in the Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped glass sample with 800nm laser source and the optimum composition for the most efficient blue up-conversion was found from the glass sample with 0.3 mol% TmF3 and 1 mol% YbF3.

Silica glass films to utilize optical waveguides was fabricated by Aerosol Flame Deposition(AFD) method. As the amount of B2O3 increased in the sol solution of (92-x)SiO2-xB2O3-8P2O5, the thermophoretic deposition rate onto Si substrate was markedly lowered due to vaporizing out of B2O3 and P2O5 during the vaporization and reaction of the aerosol in the flame. GeO2 was added to 62SiO2-30B2O3-8P2O5 in order to control easily the refractive index of glass films. As the amount of GeO2 increased from 2 to 12 wt%, its refractive index increased from 1.4633 up to 1.4716.

This paper discussed hydrothermal reactivity of Ca(OH)2 and classified bituminous fly ashes which were collected at an electrostatic precipitator in coal fired power plant at 181$^{\circ}C$. The major products of hydrothermal reaction were tobermorite and hydrogrossularite because bituminous fly ashes contained Al2O3 content greater than 20 wt%. As increasing amount of Al2O3 content greater than 20 wt%. As increasing amount of Al2O3 in glass phases, formation of hydrogrossularite increased. Formation rate of crystalline tobermorite increased with content of finer particles, higher glass content and more Al2O3 in glass phases. There was a positive correlation between residue on 45${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ sieve and hydrothermal reactivity of fly ash up to 3 hours. The hydrothermal reactivity of fly ash at 181$^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours was more affected by fineness than by glass content of fly ash.
