The Pt doped $TiO_2$ composite membranes were prepared by the sol-gel process. The Pt doped titania sol was peptized with hydrochloric acid in the pH range of 1.23 to 1.32 at 5$0^{\circ}C$. The average particle size of the Pt doped titania sol was shown to be below 15nm and well dispersed in the solution. XPS show the Pt elements continuous and homogeneous dispersed in the $TiO_2$ membrane. The mean particle size of the Pt doped $TiO_2$ composite membrane has smaller than that of the undoped $TiO_2$ composite membrane. The average pore size of the Pt doped $TiO_2$ composite membrane was increased from 58 to 193 $\AA$ with firing temperature changed from 550 to 85$0^{\circ}C$. It was observed that the Pt doped $TiO_2$ composite membranes showed crack-free and homogeneous microstructue as well as narrow particle size distribution up to above 75$0^{\circ}C$.

Owing to consecutive start of operation of large-scale coal-fired power plants in Korea, the ash production amounts to about 2 million tons per year. The impact of rising disposal costs, looming environmental problems and increased ash tonnages has heightened the concerns about coal ash utilization. The paper mainly describes the correlation between bending strength and microstructure of brick body from fly ash and clay mixture. The results show that bending strength depends mainly on the size and quantity of pore, the sinterability of matrix, and the crack due to the coarse quarts grain, and that the brick body added 15 wt.% fly ash has the best bending strength over the whole firing range.

Aluminum and zinc titanium silicate sol-gel films were fabricated for application of waveguide and the effect of additions of ZnO and $Al_2O_3$ to binary titanium silicate films was investigated. During firing, the films are densified as they shrunk and their refractive index increases in the range of 1.58-1.83 depending on the film composition. The attenuation of the waveguides is not sensitive to changes in composition except for zinc titanium silicate waveguides which have substantially higher attenuation. However, the increase in the attenuation with aging of the waveguides depend upon the composition of waveuides. The addition $Al_2O_3$ or the reduced $SiO_2$ content in the composition appears to slow the deterioration of the waveguides due to the formation of more stable bonds and increased acidity on the film surface. Also, the wavelength dependence of the attenuation of the waveguides varies with composition. The attenuation of the waveguides except for the $65SiO_2{\cdot}35TiO_2$ composition are not Rayleigh scatter limited, suggesting the absorption loss of the waveguides due to the effects of residual carbon and structural defects in the films.

It is know that $Si_3-N_4$ bonded SiC has almost all the valuable properties needed for the high temperature material and thus has bery wide range of applicability. Si powder and two different sized SiC powder were used as the raw mateials. Specimens were prepared by heating the green compact mode of the raw materials with polyvinyl alcohol binder in the nitrogen atmosphere. The bond-ing of SiC particles is brought about with the formation of reaction bonded silicon nitride phase between the particles he influences of the variation of the relative amounts of the raw materials and the amount of the organic binder on the density and the bend strength of the specimens were investigated. It was shown that the calculation of the amount of the nitridation of Si is somewhat complicated matter since some portion of the organic binder reacts with the Si during the firing process. Fixing the Si amount to 20w/o the distributions of the size of the SiC particles that gives the maximum density and the maximum strnegth were obtained through experiments. It was observed that the two distributions were not equal to each other. As the amount of Si increased the amount of Si reacted with nitrogen and the strength increased. The fracture mode was intergranular for the most part and the transgranular fracture was scarcely observed.

Glass films in the binary system B2O3-SiO2 and Al2O3-SiO2 were prepared on soda-lime-silica slide glass by the dip-coating technique from TEOS and boric acid or aluminum nitrate. Thickness of the films varying with viscosity and withdrawal speed were measured and effect of composition and firing temperature on the properties such as transmittance and refractive index were investigated. nM2O3.(100-n)SiO2(M=B or Al) films containing up to 20mol% B2O3 and 40mol% Al2O3 were transparent. Maximum transmittance at visible range were obtained for the sample containing 15mol% Ba2O3 and 32.5mol% Al2O3 and heat-treated at 50$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Refractive index of the film containing 15mol% B2O3 was mininum in the B2O3-SiO2 binary system and minimal refractive index was appeared at the film containing 32.5mol% Al2O3. In IP spectra, addition of B2O3 were increased absorption peak intensity of B-O and Si-O-B bond and addition of Al2O3 were decreased absorption peak intensity of Si-O bond, respectively.

The Effect of Dditives $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ on the enstatite body the composition of which was MgO.$SiO_2$ has been closely investigated on the physical properties and microstructure. $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ as additives were added by weight 5, 10, 15, 20, 25% and 1, 2, 2.5, 5, 10, 20% respectively to the mixture (MgO : SiO2=1:1) and fired at the temperature ranging from 130$0^{\circ}C$ to 145$0^{\circ}C$ and 1275$^{\circ}C$ to 1375$^{\circ}C$. Increasing the add ition or $ZrO_2$ to 20% the physical property became better. In case of $TiO_2$ the sample containing 20% $TiO_2$ had a best effect on the enstastite body. The optimum firing range proved to 14$25^{\circ}C$ for $ZrO_2$ and 1325~135$0^{\circ}C$ for $TiO_2$. The effect of $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ addition on the thermal expansion was observed not ot be remarkable.

This paper deals with the concept design of HVDC system for controlling AC network reactive power. HVDC system can control active power and reactive power and the control concept of reactive power is similar to SVC(Static Var Compensator). Reactive power is controlled by adjusting firing angle of HVDC system under the condition that AC filters are switched. Reactive power depends on AC voltage condition, considering the steady-state and transient state to maintain the stable operation of AC network in the viewpoint of voltage stability. Therefore, in the design stage of HVDC, the reactive power required in the AC network must be considered. For the calculation of operation angle in HVDC system, the expected reactive power demand and supply status is examined at each AC system bus. The required reactive power affects the determination of the operation angle of HVDC. That is, the range of "control deadband" of operation angle should have the capability supplying the required reactive power. Finally, the reactive power control concepts is applied to 1GW BTB Pyeongtaek-Dangjin HVDC system.

Ag-ceramic composite materials were investigated as internal electrodes for multilayer ceramic actuators (MLCA). Ag-ceramic pastes were prepared by adding PZT-based ceramic powders to a Ag patse in a range of 0 to 50 wt.%. PZT/Ag-PZT multilayered laminates were fabricated by tape casting and fired at low temperatures below $950^{\circ}C$. The addition of ceramic into the Ag electrode resulted in a decrease in the thermal expansion mismatch between the electrode and the ceramic sheet. The maximum strain of PZT/Ag-PZT multilayered actuators were $9{\times}10^{-4}$ under an electric field of 2.5MV/m. In conclusion, Ag-PZT composite materials are efficient for low cost piezoelectric MLCAs.
