Alumina/silver ($Al_2O_3/Ag$) nanocomposites with Ag content up to 9 vol% were prepared from nanopowder by soaking method using ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ of needle type and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The mechanical properties of specimens were investigated three-point flexural strength and toughness as a function of the Ag contents. The maximum flexural strength of the alumina/silver nanocomposite was 850 MPa for the 1 vol% composite, and also higher than monolith alumina as about 800 MPa at 3, 5, and 7 vol% Ag contents. Fracture toughness by single edged V-notch beam (SEVNB) was $4.05MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for the 3 vol% composite and maintained about $4.00MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ at 5, and 7 vol% Ag content. Microstructure of fracture surface for each fracture specimens was observed. Due to the inhibition effect of alumina grain growth, the average grain size of nanocomposites depends on the content of Ag nano particles. The fracture morphology of nanocomposite with dislocation (sub-grain boundary) by silver nano-particles of second phases in the alumina matrix also showed transgranular fracture-mode compare with intergranular of monolith alumina. Thermal conductivity of specimens at room temperature was about 40 W/mK for the 1 vol% Ag content.

Alumina-silica composite coating layers were prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of plate-shaped alumina particles dispersed in a sol-gel binder, which was prepared by hydrolysis and the condensation reaction of methyltrimethoxysilane in the presence of colloidal silica. The microstructure and the electrical and thermal properties of the coatings were compared according to the EPD process parameter: voltage, time and the content of the plate-shaped alumina particles. The electrical insulation property of the coatings was measured by a voltage test. The coatings were prepared by EPD of the sol-gel binder with 5-30 wt% plate alumina particles on parallel electrodes at a distance of 2 cm for 1-10 min under an applied voltage of 10-30 V. The coatings experienced increased breakdown voltage with increasing thickness. However, the higher the thickness was, the smaller the breakdown voltage strength was. A breakdown voltage as high as 4.6 kV was observed with a $400{\mu}m$ thickness, and a breakdown voltage strength as high as 27 kV/mm was achieved for the sample under a $100{\mu}m$ thickness.

In general, surface treatments of electroless Ni-P coating are extensively applied in the industry due to their excellent properties for considerable wear resistance, hardness, corrosion resistance. This study aims to determine the effect of ultrasonic conditions on the morphology, alumina content, roughness, hardness, and corrosion resistance of electroless Ni-P-Al₂O₃ composite coatings. The characteristics were analyzed by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), x-ray diffractions (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), etc. In this study, the effect of ultrasonic condition uniformly distributed alumina within Ni-P solution resulting in a smoother surface, lower surface roughness. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance behavior of the coating was analyzed using tafel polarization curves in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution at 25 ℃. Under ultrasonic, Al₂O₃ content in Ni-P composite solution increased from 0.5 to 5.0 g/L, Al₂O₃ content at 3.0 g/L was showed a significantly enhanced corrosion resistance. These results suggested that ultrasonic condition was an effective method to improve the properties of the composite coating.

치아 대체용 재료로서 응용되고있는 유리침윤 알루미나 복합체에서 미세구조 및 압입응력이 파괴거동에 미치는 영향을 헤르찌안 및 비커스 압입시험을 사용하여 조사하였다. 유리침윤 알루미나의 압입 응력벽형 거동은 높은 하중에서 약간의 비선형성을 보이는 준소성과 전형적인 헤르찌안 콘 균열을 동시에 나타내고 있으며, 계면 접합 시험편을 이용한 표면아래의 손상에서도 이를 확인할 수 있었다. 일차 성형체의 압입 응력-변형 곡선은 기공형태 및 입자크기에 크게 의존하고있지만, 유리침윤 공정이후 제조된 복합체에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 복합체의 파괴는 준소성 변형 영역에서 일어나고 있으며, 헤르찌안 압입응력장이 재료손상 및 파괴거동에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 조사하여 압입응력이 재료의 손상에 미치는 영향이 매우 크다는 것을 알았다. 그러나 압입시험후 행해진 어닐링 공정은 알루미나의 파괴거동에 변화를 가져왔으며, 이는 어닐링 공정을 통해 재료가 받은 응력장이 치료되었음을 알 수 있었다.

To utilize hydrogen energy, high-yield, high-purity hydrogen needs to be produced; therefore, hydrogen separation membrane studies are being conducted. The membrane reactor that fabricates hydrogen needs to have high hydrogen permeability, selective permeability, heatresistant and a stable mechanical membrane. Dense membranes of Pd and Pd alloys are usually used, but these have drawbacks associated with high cost and durability. Therefore, many researchers have studied replacing Pd and Pd alloys. Dense TiN membrane is highly selective and can separate high-purity hydrogen. The porous alumina has a high permeation rate but low selectivity; therefore, separating high-purity hydrogen is difficult. To overcome this drawback, the two materials are combined as composite reclamations to produce a separation membrane with a high penetration rate and high selectivity. Accordingly, TiN-alumina was manufactured using a high-energy ball mill. The TiN-alumina membrane was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The hydrogen permeability of the TiN-alumina membrane was estimated by a Sievert-type hydrogen permeation membrane apparatus. Due to the change in the diffusion mechanism, the transmittance value was lower than that of the general TiN ceramic separator.

본 연구에서는 다양한 알루미나 지지체의 $CH_4-SCR$ 반응특성을 확인하기 위하여 $Pt/Al_2O_3$를 기본으로 한 촉매에 Mg을 담지하여 습식함침법으로 제조하였다. $Pt/Al_2O_3$ 촉매에 지지체인 알루미나를 복합형태(composite-$Al_2O_3$)로 바꾸고, Mg을 담지시킬 경우 electrophobic 특성으로 인해 활성금속 Pt의 산소종을 제어하였다. 산소종이 제어된 Pt는 환원제로 사용되는 $CH_4$에서 $CO_2$로의 산화를 억제시킨다. 또한 Mg의 첨가는 촉매표면에서의 NOx storage 특성으로 인한 NO species 흡착 증진과 NO의 $NO_2$로의 전환을 증진시켰다.

Tungsten carbide has many industrial applications due to its high electrical and thermal conductivity, high melting temperature, high hardness and good chemical stability. Because tungsten carbide is difficult to sinter, it is sintered with nickel or cobalt as a binder and is currently used in nozzles, cutting tools, and molds. Alumina is reported to be a viable binder for tungsten carbide due to its higher oxidation resistance and lower cost than nickel and cobalt. The ultrafine tungsten carbide-graphene-alumina composites were rapidly sintered in a high frequency induction heating active sintering unit. The microstructure and mechanical properties (fracture toughness and hardness) of the composites were investigated and analyzed by Vickers hardness tester and electron microscope. Since the high-frequency induction heating sintering method enables high-speed sintering, ultrafine composites can be prepared by preventing grain growth. In the tungsten carbide-graphene-alumina composites, the grain size of tungsten carbide increased with the amount of alumina participation. The hardness and fracture toughness of the tungsten carbide-5% graphene- x% alumina (x = 0, 5, 10,15) composites were 5.1, 8.6, 8.6, and 8.4 MPa-m^1/2 and 2384, 2168, 2165, and 2102 kg/mm², respectively. The fracture toughness increased without a significant decrease in hardness. Sinterability was improved by adding alumina to tungsten carbide-graphene.

In-situ 반응에 의하여 형성된 La-$\beta$-aluminate (LaAl11O18)로 강화된 알루미나 복합체에 정방정 ZrO2를 첨가하여 알루미나 복합체를 제조하였다. 사용된 분말 혼합체의 조성은 (100-x)[88 Al2O3+(La2O3+11 Al2O3)]+x vol% ZrO2였으며, x는 0부터 40까지 변화시켰다. 열간가압형성에 의하여 얻어진 치밀한 소결체는 1200MPa의 곡강도값을 나타내었다. 이러한 높은 곡강도값은 첨가한 ZrO2 입자와 기존의 La-$\beta$-aluminate platelets의 기지 입자에 대한 입성장 억제 효과와 ZrO2의 응력유기 상변태 효과로부터 기인하였다. 상기 복합체의 파괴 인성도 역시 8.58.5 MPa.m1/2까지 증가하였는데, 이러한 파괴인성의 증가는 ZrO2의 상변태 강화와 미세균열 강화, 그리고 La-$\beta$-aluminate와 ZrO2 입자의 균열 deflection과 bridging의 효과로 설명되어질 수 있다.
