Low-firing dielectric materials with negative small temperature coefficients were investigated. The newly developed materials are based on Ti$O_2$(100-x)/ CuOx(X=1~5wt%) with small amount of Mn$O_2$ additive. The sample without CuO was not sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$. As CuO content was increased the sample could be sintered at low temperature. However, the dielectric constant was decreased and the dielectric loss was increased. In the case of adding 3wt% CuO and 0.6wt% Mn$O_2$, the dielectric constant and the Q values appeared very high.

[ $MoS_2S$ ] is a well-known metal sulfide applied as solid lubricants and an additive to prolong the life of sintered bearings under severe conditions. However, the high price of $MoS_2S$ limited its wide application. This study is aimed to investigated the possibility for application to solid lubricants for $Cu_2S$ as a substitute of v. Bronzes added $Cu_2S$ and $MoS_2S$ are produced by powder metallurgy in this study, and then evaluated their friction and wear properties. The sliding wear test using pin-on-disc type machine, was conducted at several sliding speeds for three type test pieces, bronze and bronzes added $Cu_2S/MoS_2$. Addition of $Cu_2S$ to bronze leads to relatively good friction and wear properties, although it is not so good as addition of $MoS_2S$. But the properties of bronze added $Cu_2S/MoS_2$ would be not suitable for the condition under the high sliding speed.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ superconductor films have been prepared on silver substrates by electrophoretic deposition. As silver does not react with $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ compound and has little influence on its superconductivity, it is usually doped in $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ to improve the strength of the material and eliminate micro-cracks. It has been proved that Ag additive can lower the melting temperature of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ and act as linking bridge among $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ particles, thus in this paper Ag doped $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ thick films are prepared by electrophoretic co-deposition. As there are only some referenced experience formula and models for co-electrophoretic deposition and does not exist unified explanation, the behavior of Ag particles during co-electrophoretic deposition is also studied.

With the aim of using a filler material in a conductive paste, fine Cu nanoparticles were synthesized through the high-speed chemical reaction between cuprous oxide ($Cu_2O$) powder and sulfuric acid in distilled water. Under external temperature of $7^{\circ}C$, sulfuric acid concentration of 48%, and $Cu_2O$ amount of 30 g, the $Cu_2O$ particles were eliminated and slightly aggregated Cu nanoparticles were synthesized. Futhermore, Cu nanoparticles of 224 nm, in which the aggregation between particles was obviousiy much suppressed, were synthesized with the choice of an additive. In the particle sample, occasionally there are coarse particles formed by the aggregation of fine nanoparticles and weak linkages between the nanoparticles. However, the coarse particles were destroyed and the linkages were broken after mixing with a resin formulation, indicating the behavior of untangling the aggregation between nanoparticles.

We have studied on the magnetic properties of the specimen with additives Bi$_2$O$_3$and$V_2O_5$ that sintered at 900 $^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours for sybthesizing optimal Ni-Zn-Cu ferrite. Curie temperature rises from 240 $^{\circ}C$ to 270 $^{\circ}C$ as Ni contents increase. Magentic maximum induction$(B_m)$ increases from 2650 G to 3300 G, 3500 G in the specimens with $V_2O_5$ and Bi$_2$O$_3$resectively. On the contrary coercive force $(H_c)$ lowers to 2.05 Oe~1.05 Oe. Permeability all increase in the specimen with additives. In the specimen with additive Bi$_2$O$_3$, we have obtained the low relative loss factor of $6.3{\times}10^{-5}~7.84{\times}10^{-5}$ in the range of 1MHz due to increase of resistivity in grain boundary. In the specimen with additive $V_2O_5$ in spite of increase permeability relative loss factor increase of due to decrease of Q-value.

BACKGROUND: This study was initiated to quantitatively evaluate the effects of five heavy metals on the growth and P removal efficiencies of Alcaligenes sp., known as the Phosphorus Accumulating Organisms (PAOs). It was cultivated in the batch system with five heavy metals, such as Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb and Ni, added in single and binary mixtures, respectively.METHODS AND RESULTS: IC₅₀ (half of inhibition concentration of bacterial growth) and EC₅₀ (half of effective concentration of phosphorus removal Efficiencies) were used to quantitatively evaluate the effects of heavy metals on the growth and phosphorus removal Efficiencies of Alcaligenes sp. In addition, Additive Index Value (A.I.V.) method was used to evaluate the interactive effects between Alcaligenes sp. and heavy metals. As a result, as the five heavy metals were singly added to Alcaligenes sp., the greatest inhibitory effects on the growth and P removal efficiencies of each bacteria was observed in the cadmium (Cd). In the binary mixture treatments of heavy metals, the treatments of lowest IC₅₀ and EC₅₀ were the Cd + Cu treatment. Based on the IC₅₀ and EC₅₀ of the binary mixtures of heavy metals treatments, most interactive effects between the heavy metals were found to be antagonistic.CONCLUSION: Based on the results obtained from this study, it appears that they could provide the basic information about the toxic effects of the respective treatments of single and binary mixtures of heavy metals on the growth and P removal efficiencies of Alcaligenes sp. through further study about the characterization of functional proteins involved in toxic effects of heavy metals.

$Ni_{0.4}Zn_{0.4}Cu_{0.2}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite was fabricated by solid stat reaction method and sol-gel method. Because of the drawbacks of each method, we combined these two methods together. We proposed and experimentally verified that nanocrystalline ferrite additive was effective on improving the densification behavior and magnetic properties of NiZnCu ferrites for multilayer chip inductors. The initial permeability of the toroidal core Sample with 20 wt% nanocrystalline ferrite increased from 78.1 to 178.2 as annealing temperature is increased from $880^{\circ}C$ to $920^{\circ}C$. The density, shrinkage and saturation magnetization were increased with increasing annealing temperature, which was attributed to the decrease of additive grain size and increase of sintering density.

In this study, the effect of alkylamine on copper electroplating was analyzed using cyclic voltammetry. When water-soluble alkylamines were added to the plating solution, the reduction reaction of Cu²⁺ was inhibited. The inhibition effect of 1,12-diaminododecane has been investigated at various concentrations and conditions of the plating solution. 1,12-diaminododecane was protonated in the acidic plating solution, and therefore, it did not act as a complexing agent for Cu²⁺. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the inhibiton effect of 1,12-diaminododecane was attributed to adsorption on the Cu surface. The adsorption of 1,12-diaminododecane exhibits two characteristics: (i) protonation and subsequent electrostatic attraction with anions pre-adsorbed on Cu surface, and (ii) direct adsorption on Cu surface via amine functional group. The adsorbed 1,12-diaminododecane caused three-dimensional growth and grain refining, as well as the inhibition effect, during Cu electroplating.

In the present study, we develop a conductive copper/carbon nanomaterial additive and investigate the effects of the morphologies of the carbon nanomaterials on the conductivities of composites containing the additive. The conductive additive is prepared by mechanically milling copper powder with carbon nanomaterials, namely, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and/or few-layer graphene (FLG). During the milling process, the carbon nanomaterials are partially embedded in the surfaces of the copper powder, such that electrically conductive pathways are formed when the powder is used in an epoxy-based composite. The conductivities of the composites increase with the volume of the carbon nanomaterial. For a constant volume of carbon nanomaterial, the FLG is observed to provide more conducting pathways than the MWCNTs, although the optimum conductivity is obtained when a mixture of FLG and MWCNTs is used.
