Porous materials were manufactured by hydrothermal treatment of waste bottle glass without foam agent. Factorial design was applied to analyze data by statistical methods and deal with the important factors for a process. The largest effect for porosity was for temperature of hydrothermal treatment. Amount of water and temperature-water interaction appeared to have little effect. The particle size of raw material was also identified as a major factor by one-way ANOVA and the porosity decreased as the size increased. The sintering temperature was not statistically significant for the porosity but was significant for the pore size. The porous material had compressive strength and thermal conductivity comparing with those of ALC (autoclaved lightweight concrete), although it has higher porosity than for ALC.

The carborundum abrasive specimens bonded with a soda-borosilicate glass were prepared. Samples fired at specified temperatures with various mixing ratio and forming pressure were examined in terms of the structure, bonding strength, and microscopic observations. Increasing the forming pressure up to 400kg/$\cm^2$, the structure became denser in proportion to the forming pressure. The bonding strength was generally increased with increasing the mixing ratio (Vb/Vg), but the bloating phenomena were observed when samples were fired above 95$0^{\circ}C$ with mixing ratio above 20%, consequently, the bonding strength was decreased. Samples fired at the temperature range 900~95$0^{\circ}C$ with mixing ratio 15~30% had the dense structure with various grades.

Colloidal particles of silica (100 nm in size) were electrostatically dispersed and adsorbed on a glass substrate coated with silica sol or alumina sol. Stability of the suspensions and microstructure of the adsorbed particle layers were discussed in terms of total potential energies between the particles and the substrate. Well-dispersed suspension resulted in a layer with densely packed and regularly arranged particles, whereas less stable suspension resulted in a porous layer with loosely packed and irregularly arranged particles. Despite repulsive interactions between the particles and the substrate coated with silica sol, the observed adsorption can be attributed to chemical bonds formed at the interface between the particle and silica sol. In contrast, the adsorption of the particles on the substrate coated with alumina sol formed a layer with strongly adhered and densely packed particles, due to large attractive interactions between the particles and alumina sol.

Low firing temperature substrate were synthesized through tape casting and sintering of glass with cordierite composition and then their properties were investigated. Even though the dielectric properties and XRD patterns of substrates, obtained by tape casting and sintering at 900~100$0^{\circ}C$ for various periods, were similar to those of substrates obtained by dry pressing, the sinterability was enhanced. The substrates were thin and the size was 0.6$\times$50$\times$50mm. From the results of dielectric properties, the sinterability and X-ray diffraction pattern, the proper condition for cofiring process with conductor, Cu, was 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The properties of the substrate are as follows; the dielectric constant was 5.31(at 1MHz), the dissipation factor was 0.0028, the apparent porosity was 0.28% and the main crystalline phase was $\alpha$-cordierite.

A relation between composition and properties of Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glasses was investigated with application of the extreme vertical design. Properties investigated in this study include glass transition temperature density refractive index thermal expansion electrical conductivity bending strength and hardness, Most of the quadratic models fitted on property data were statistically significant. The properties estimated from the fitted equation agreed well with the measured properties. The estimated properties were compared with those reported by other investigators. Additional composition except for those of extreme vertices were needed to yield a slightly better result for the simple system such as a temary system. In addition an optimal composition on each property could be calculated by using optimization technique on result obtained from the fitted quadratic models.

This study investigated the crystallization behavior in PbO-ZnO-B2O3-TiO2 system sealing glass, inorganic polymer heat-treated by conventional heat and microwave energy. After determining heat-treated temperature for crystallization and characteristic points by DTA analysis, samples were heat-treated in a classical electric furnace and a home-style microwave oven (LG Electronic Co., 2.45 GHz, 700 W). A microwave heat-treated sample had the growth of PbTiO3 crystal at 45$0^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$ lower than that of a conventionally heat-treated sample. Also, it had crystallinity about 20% higher than the conventionally heat-treated sample. At 49$0^{\circ}C$, the size of PbTiO3 crystal in the conventionally heat-treated sample was larger than that in the microwave heat-treated sample due to longer heat-treated time.

To control the pore size of silcia gel, formamide (FA), N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) were added in the sol-gel process from starting solution with tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS). The gels were characterized using porosimeter, TG-DTA and SEM. As a result, the more contents of FA and PAA was increased the more gelation time was decreased, also the more contents of DMF and PEG was increased the more gelling time was increased. The mean pore size of gels was larger in the order of PAA, DMF, FA and PEG. And the mean pore size of porous silica glass was 59.0$\AA$, 31.5$\AA$, 29.9$\AA$ and 29.0$\AA$, respectively, heated at 75$0^{\circ}C$/100$0^{\circ}C$.

With the content of ZnO varing from 10.5 to 47.4 wt%, the crystallization of lithium zinc silicate glass was investigated by DTA, XRD, and SEM. In this work P2O5 was used as nucleation agent. The crystallization temperature was found to increase with the content of ZnO and the microstructure of formed crystalling phases was studied through the scanning electron microscopy. According to the XRD analysis, the crystal phases formed are summarized as follows. 1) The major phases are lithium orthosilicate, lithium disilicate and quartz at 10.5 wt% ZnO. 2) Lithium zinc silicate polymorphous and cristobalite occur in the composition varying 21.3 to 30.8 wt% ZnO. 3) At composition containing 47.4wt% ZnO some quantity of willemite is formed.

In this study the attempts were made to investigate the possibilities of using domestic clay minerals and zeolite, which are available in almost unlimitted quantities, for preparation of aluminum sulfate, white carbon and silica gel. Aluminum sulfate was obtained by the method of sulfuric acid treatment. White carbon and silica gel were prepared by utilizing crystalline silica which was obtained as a by product during preparing the aluminum sulfate. White carbon was obtained by reacting 5.0 weight percent sulfuric acid solution with water glass which was a reaction product of crystalline silica and soldium hydroxide in a autoclave, while silica gel was obtained by reaction 10.0 weight percent acetic acid solution with water glass.

Temperature and atmosphere dependence of electrical conduction of the metal Cu, Ag, Au films, vaccum evaporated on glass, was investigated. The structural changes of the metal films were examined by SEM and high temperature XRD. The electrical resistance slightly increased with initial temperature increase up to the inflection point and decreased to minimum value, after this rapidly increased with further temperature increased below minimum. These phenomena were caused by the thermally induced film failure as a result of the mass transport. The temperature for the film failure increased in the order of O2, Air, Vacuum, N2, Ar in Cu, Ag films and Air, Vacuum, N2, Ar in Au film. The increase of resistance at the lower temperature range was attributed to the lattice distortion by disordered crystal structure, while the decreasing resistance was attributed to the removal of structural defects and film densification.
