Samples with the nominal composition, B $i_{1.84}$P $b_{0.34}$S $r_{1.91}$C $a_{2.03}$C $u_{3.06}$ $O_{10+{\delta}}$ high- $T_{c}$ superconductors containing MgO as an additive were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. Samples with MgO of 5~30 wt% each were sintered at 820~86$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The structural characteristics, critical temperature, grain size and image of mapping with respect to MgO contents were analyzed by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDS(Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer) respectively. As MgO contents increased, intensity of MgO Peaks and ratio of Bi-2212 phase in superconductors intensified and the proportion of the phase transition from Bi-2223 to Bi-2212 was increased.

In the present study, Zr-base metallic glass (MG) and Zr-base BMG/diamond composites were fabricated using a combination of gas atomization and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructure, thermal stability and mechanical property of both the specimens as atomized and sintered were investigated. The experimental results showed that the SPSed specimens could be densified into nearly 100% and maintained the initial thermal stability at the sintering temperature of 630K. In addition, MG/diamond powder composites were successfully synthesised using SPS process. The composites, even a very low diamond volume fraction, generated a significant increase in compressive strength. With increasing the diamond volume fraction, the compressive strength was also increased due to the addition of hardest diamonds. It suggests that these composites would be potential candidates for a new cutting tool material.

Effects of liquid phase and reinforcing particle morphology on the sintering of Al-6 wt％Cu-10 vol％ $Al_2O_3$ or SiC particles were studied in regards to densification, structure and transverse rupture properties. The Al-Cu liquid phase penetrated the boundaries between the aluminum matrix powders and the interfaces with reinforcing particles as well, indicating a good wettability to the powders. This enhanced the densification during sintering and the resulting strength and ductility. Since most of the copper added, however, was dissolved in the liquid phase and formed a brittle $CuAl_2$ phase upon cooling rather than alloyed with the aluminum matrix, the strengthening effect by the copper was not fully realized. Reinforcing particles of agglomerate type were found less suitable for the liquid phase sintering than solid type particles. $Al_2O_3$ and SiC particles protluced little difference on the sintering behavior but their size had a large effect. Repressing of the sintered composites increased density and bending properties but caused debonding at the matrix-particle interfaces and also fracturing of the particles.

ZTA tubes were prepared by centrifugal casting and sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The ZTA tubes were machined into specimens of $3{\times}4{\times}40$ mm. Molten Soda lime glass (SLG) was penetrated into the surface of ZTA at an optimized condition of $1500^{\circ}C$ for the holding time of 5 h and furnace cooled. The extra glass on the surface was removed using a resin bonded diamond wheel. The glass penetrated samples were tested for their flexural strength using four point bend test. Vickers Indentation cracks were made on the glass penetrated surface at different loads of 9.8 N, 49 N, 98 N and 196 N. The residual compression on the surface enhanced the flexural strength and crack arrest behaviour remarkably. This was attributed to the thermoelastic mismatch between the glass and ZTA matrix during cooling.

To improve the mechanical properties of aluminum, graphene has been used as a reinforcing material, yielding graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (GRAMCs). Dispersion of graphene materials is an important factor that affects the properties of GRAMCs, which are mainly manufactured by mechanical mixing methods such as ball milling. However, the use of only mechanical mixing process is limited to achieve homogeneous dispersion of graphene. To overcome this problem, in this study, we have prepared composite materials by coating aluminum particles with graphene by a self-assembly reaction using poly vinylalcohol and ethylene diamine as coupling agents. The scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results confirm the coating of graphene on the Al surface. Bulk density of the sintered composites by spark plasma sintering achieved a relative density of over 99% up to 0.5 wt.% graphene oxide content.

In this study, the fabrication of through-silicon vias (TSVs) filled with SWNTs/Sn by utilizing surface/bulk micromachining and MEMS technologies is proposed. Tin (Sn) and single-walled nanotube (SWNT) powders are used as TSV interconnector materials in the development of a novel TSV at low temperature. The measured resistance of a TSV filled with SWNT/Sn powder is considerably reduced by increasing the fraction of Sn and is lower than that of a TSV filled with only Sn. This is because of a decrease in the surface scattering of electrons along with an increase in the grain size of sintered SWNTs/Sn. The proposed method is conducted at low temperatures (< $400^{\circ}C$) due to the low melting temperature of Sn; hence, the proposed TSVs filled with SWNTs/Sn can be utilized in CMOS based applications.

In this study, a sea shell was converted into bioceramic phases at three different sintering temperatures ($450^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$). Among the obtained bioceramic phases, a valuable ${\beta}-TCP$ was produced via mechanochemical conversion method from sea snail Turritella terebra at $1000^{\circ}C$ sintering temperature. For this reason, only the bioceramic sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ was concentrated on and FT-IR, SEM/EDX, BET, XRD, ICP-OES analyses were carried out for the complete characterization of ${\beta}-TCP$ phase. Biodegradation test in Tris-buffer solution, bioactivity tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) and cell studies were conducted. Bioactivity test results were promising and high rate of cell viability was observed in MTT assay after 24 hours and 7 days incubation. Results demonstrated that the produced ${\beta}-TCP$ bioceramic is qualified for further consideration and experimentation with its features of pore size and ability to support bone tissue growth and cell proliferation. This study suggests an easy, economic method of nanobioceramic production.

이 논문은 주로 방탄재료 중에서 세라믹재료를 바탕으로 한 개인용 방호장비와 헬리콥터용 방탄장비 등 재료의 무게가 중요한 부위에 사용되어지는 재료에 대하여 서술하였다. 세라믹 방탄재료는 원자번호가 작은 보론이 4개원자가 포함되어있고 탄소원자가 1개 들어있는 화합물인 $B_4C$를 근간으로한 재료이기 때문에 무게가 굉장히 적게 나간다. 그러나 이 재료는 용융옹도가 높아 높은 온도에서 소결되어야하고, 소결말도가 높아야 제대로 물성이 나오기 때문에 잘 소결할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 소결조제를 사용하던지 일축 가압소결을 하던지 분말사이즈를 조절하여 쉽게 소결하는 방법을 사용하던지 하여 제품을 만든다.

We fabricated SiC-TiC composites by hot-press sintering with aluminum and yttrium nitrate additive and evaluated crystal phase, relative density, microstructure, electrical resistivity and mechanical properties of the sintered body. And the effect of nitrate additive on the densification of SiC-TiC composites was compared with that of Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃ additives. Because nitrate additives were uniformly dispersed in SiC and TiC mixture, it inhibited the growth of crystal grain between each other and formed fine and uniform microstructure, thereby improving mechanical properties and electrical resistivity. The electrical resistivity and flexural strength of the SiC-TiC composite with aluminum and yttrium nitrate additive were 2.3 Ω·cm and 652.3 MPa respectively.

본 연구는 졸-겔법을 이용하여 복합 알루미나를 제조하였고, 다양한 첨가제의 첨가에 의한 복합 알루미나의 열적 안정성을 고찰하였다. $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성시킨 복합 알루미나의 열적 안정성은 사용된 첨가제에 따라서 $Si{\fallingdotseq}La$ > Ti > $Ba{\fallingdotseq}Ce$ > Y > $Zr{\fallingdotseq}Mg$ 순으로 나타났다. 특히 실리카 첨가시 ${\alpha}$-알루미나로의 상전이 온도를 $150^{\circ}C$이상 높여 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성 후에도 ${\gamma}$-형에서 ${\delta}$-형의 알루미나 상을 유지함을 알 수 있었고, 비표면적이 $3m^2/g$인 ${\alpha}$-알루미나에 비해 $71m^2/g$(비표면적) 범위까지 증가됨을 보였다. 이러한 알루미나 입자의 특성변화는 실리카 첨가 알루미나의 경우 고온으로 소성시 Si-O-Al의 결합의 증가로 인하여 알루미나의 상전이를 지연시키는 결과로 나타나고, 란타늄 첨가 알루미나의 경우 $LaAlO_3$ 구조의 존재로 인해 알루미나의 입자간 소결을 지연시킴을 알 수 있었다. 또한 란타늄 첨가시 $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 소성시킨 경우 란타늄이 알루미나 표면에 $La_2O_3$ 구조로 존재하나 $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 $LaAlO_3$의 perovskite 구조로 존재하고, $1,300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 $LaAl_{11}O_{18}$의 magneto-plumbite 구조로 존재함을 XRD와 XPS 분석 결과에 의해 확인할 수 있었다.
