In this study, we have fabricated the 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ thick films on the Ag/Pd printed $Al_2O_3$ substrates for the LTCCs (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) applications. From the X-ray diffraion analysis, 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films on the Ag/Pd printed $Al_2O_3$ substrates, which sintered at 900 $^{\circ}C$ have perovskite structure without any pyro phase. The dielectric properties of 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films were measured from 1 kHz to 1 MHz. To investigate the electrical properties of 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films, we employed the impedance spectroscopy. The complex impedance of 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films were measured from 20 Hz to 1 MHz at the various temperatures.

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) is a solid waste generated by the steel-scrap recycling process. It mainly consists of zinc oxides (ZnO), alumina ($Al_2O_3$), iron oxides ($Fe_2O_3$), and silica ($SiO_2$). Here we report the preparation and characterization of blue ceramic pigments using EAFD powder as a starting material. $(Zn(EAFD),Co)Al_2O_4$ blue ceramic pigment was prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The color characteristics of the pigment obtained were compared with those of pure $CoAl_2O_4$. The new pigment was characterized using XRD, CIE-$L^*a^*b^*$ color-measurements, SEM, and EDX. The XRD analysis revealed that the $(Zn(EAFD),Co)Al_2O_4$ pigment was composed of mainly the spinel phase of $(Zn,Co)Al_2O_4$. The $Zn(EAFD)_{0.25}Co_{0.75}Al_2O_4$ pigments showed a vivid blue color with a $b^*$ value of -28.64 and a good glaze stability with a transparent glaze.

The effects of Al2O3 and Cr2O3 addition on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Y-TZP ceramics obtained by co-precipitation method of ZrO2＋3m/o Y2O3, following pressureless sintering at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h were investigated. The addition of Al2O3 and Cr2O3 improved the Y-TZP sinterability and the Al2O3 addition showed the better effect on Y-TZP sintering than that of the Cr2O3 addition. The density and microstructure had the better effect on the bending strength of specimen more than stressinduced phase transformation (SIPT) of ZrO2 from tetragonal to monoclinic phase. The hardness of the specimens was found to be depend on the relative density and the fracture toughness of Y-TZP was found to rely on the amount of SIPT. The grian size of Cr2O3-doped Y-TZP was observed to be relatively smaller and had a narrower distribution than that of Al2O3-doped Y-TZP. If decomposition reaction of Cr2O3 can be controlled at high temperatures, it is anticipated that the mechanical properties of Y-TZP can be much improved by the Cr2O3 addition.

$N_2O$ decomposition characteristics of dual bed mixed metal oxide catalytic system was investigated. The partial oxidation of methane at first reactor of dual bed catalytic system was performed over Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) catalyst under the optimized condition of $8,000h^{-1}$ GHSV, gas ratio ($CH_4:O_2=5:1$) at $500^{\circ}C$. In the dual bed system investigated herein, the second catalyst bed was employed for the $N_2O$ decomposition using product of partial oxidation of methane at first bed. An excellent $N_2O$ conversion activity even at lower temperature ($<250^{\circ}C$) was obtained with Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) or Co-Rh-Zr-Al (1/0.2/0.3/1) catalyst by combining Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) hydrotalcite catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane in a dual-bed system. The $N_2O$ conversion activity is drastically reduced in the presence of oxygen in second bed of a dual-bed system over Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) catalyst at $300^{\circ}C$.

Machinability of LAM(Laser Assisted Machining) has been studied for ceramics such as $Al_2O_3$, $Si_3_N4$ and $ZrO_2$ by $CO_2$ laser. It was possible to remove ceramics by PCBN tool because material became softening and deterioration by local laser beam irradiation. The advantage of LAM is the ability to produce larger material removal rates and tool life. But, for cutting of $Al_2O_3$ and $ZrO_2$, stage of laser power control was needed owing to thermal shock with high temperature of workpiece by laser power. And when $Si_3N_4$ was machined by LAM, $N_2$ gas spouted from surface of one cause of high temperature. Characteristics of LAM were analyzed using pyrometer, dynamometer, SEM and EDS to measure temperature of workpiece surface, cutting force, variation of machining surface and structure of lattice respectively. As the result of this study, it was found that machinability of LAM for ceramics in $CO_2$ laser and mechanism of LAM was different according to the kind of ceramics because of properties of materials.

Nanosize cobalt aluminate($CoAl_2O_4$) power was coated as filter layer for us to improve the color purity and contrast performances on the inner face of CRT panel. We simulated color properties by measuring the transmittance and thickness of the coated filter layer. Contrast performance could be improved and color gamut was also changed by the selective light absorption of filter layer at 580${\sim}$605 nm.

For the preferential oxidation of CO contained in the fuel of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel and co-precipitation methods to replace noble metal catalysts. In the catalyst preparation by the sol-gel method, Cu/Ce ratio and hydrolysis ratio were changed. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was compared with the catalytic activity of the noble metal catalyst($Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$). Among the catalysts prepared with different Cu/Ce ratios, the catalyst whose Cu/Ce ratio was 4:16 showed the highest CO conversion (90%) and selectivity (60%) at $150^{\circ}C$. As the hydrolysis ratio was increased in the catalyst preparation, surface area increased, and catalytic activity also increased. The highest CO conversions with the CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalyst prepared by the co-precipitation method and the noble metal catalyst (1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$) were 82 and 81% at $150^{\circ}C$, respectively, whereas the highest CO conversion with the CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method was 90% at the same temperature. This indicates that the catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method shows higher catalytic activity than the catalysts prepared by the co-precipitation method and the noble metal catalyst. From the CO-TPD experiment, it was found that the catalyst having CO desorption peak at a lower temperature ($140^{\circ}C$) revealed higher catalytic activity.

LAS ($Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$) ceramics were sintered by a solid-state reaction. $CaCO_3$ and $ZrO_2$ were added to the ${\beta}$-spodumene ($Li_2O-Al_2O_3-4SiO_2$) composition of the LAS system for enhancement of sintering behavior and mechanical strength, respectively. We have investigated the sintering characteristics, microstructures, mechanical properties and thermal expansion characteristics according to the change of the amount of additive and sintering temperature of the ${\beta}$-spodumene. At 0.1 mol% $CaCO_3$, the densification of ${\beta}$-spodumene was significantly improved. At 0.04 mol% $ZrO_2$, the strength of ${\beta}$-spodumene was also improved. For all the selected all compositions, the thermal expansion coefficient was measured by a dilatometer, which revealed 1.2 to $1.7{\times}10^6/^{\circ}C$.

전자빔 증착법 (e-beam evaporation)를 이용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막과 $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중박막을 제조한 후, $800^{\circ}C$ 공기 중에서 열처리하여, 알루미나 층의 유무에 따른 두 박막의 전기전도 특성과 100 ppm CO 가스에 대한 반응 특성을 고찰하였다. 알루미나 층이 증착되지 않은 순수한 $TiO_2$ 박막의 전기 전도도 (in dry air)는 $100^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에서 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 알루미나 층이 증착된 $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중막보다 높은 전도도를 나타내고 있으나, 약 $300^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중막의 전기 전도도가 급격히 증가하여 $TiO_2$ 박막의 전기전도도 보다 더 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 온도에 따른 CO 가스 감도(sensitivity)는 $TiO_2$ 박막의 경우 $400^{\circ}C$까지는 서서히 증가하여 그 이상의 온도에서 급격히 감소하였으나, $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ 이중막은 $250^{\circ}C$에서 감도가 급격히 증가하여 최대값을 나타내었으며, $350^{\circ}C$에서 감도가 급격히 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다.
