The joining behavior of YSZ ceramics to the glasses used in the $9Al_2O_3-24ZrO_2-51SiO_2-16R_2O$ and $9Al_2O_3-24ZrO_2-51SiO_2-7La_2O_3-9R_2O$ (wt%) glass systems was investigated. The glass transition and softening temperatures were determined to be $430^{\circ}C$ and $760^{\circ}C$, respectively. The behavior of the contact angle was inversely proportional to an increase in the temperature. The Zr element in YSZ acted as a nucleation agent and contributed to the bonding behavior at the interface.

In this study, novel Eu₂O₃-BaF₂-La₂O₃-B₂O₃ oxyfluoride glasses and glass ceramics were developed by a containerless processing. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) analysis was performed to analyze the thermophysical properties of oxyfluoride glasses doped with Eu₂O₃, and photoluminescence (PL) characteristics were analyzed to evaluate the luminous efficiency depending on the degree of crystallinity. The glass transition temperature decreased with increasing BaF₂ concentration since BaF₂ acts as a network modifier in this glass system. In addition, thermal stability which can be estimated by the difference between the glass transition temperature and the onset temperature of the crystallization decreased with increasing BaF₂ contents. The peak related to the BaF₂ crystal was confirmed after the crystallization by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Photoluminescence intensity increased after the crystallization which indicates that the Eu³⁺ ions are sited in BaF₂ crystal. La 3d_5/2 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and F1s XPS spectra were analyzed to precisely understand the behavior of the fluorine ion in the glass structure. Fluorine tends to bond with the network modifying cations such as La³⁺ and Ba²⁺ ions and after the crystallization the La-F bonds decreased because F^- ions used to form BaF₂ crystals.

In this study, lanthanum boron silicate glasses were prepared with a composition of x Li₂O-(60-x)B₂O₃-5CaO-5BaO-7ZnO-10SiO₂-10La₂O₃-3Y₂O₃ where x = 1,3,5,7, and 9 mol%. Each composition was melted in a platinum crucible under atmospheric conditions at 1,400 ℃ for 2 h. Clear glasses with a transmittance exceeding 85 % were fabricated. Their optical, thermal, and physical properties, such as refractive index, Abbe number, density, glass transition (T_g) and Knoop hardness were studied. The results demonstrated that refractive index was between 1.6859 and 1.6953 at 589.3 nm. The Abbe number was calculated using an equation for 589.3 nm (nd), 656.3 nm (nf) and 486.1 nm (nc) and was observed to be in the range from 57.5 to 62.6. As the Li₂O content increased, the glass transition temperature of the optical glass decreased from 608 ℃ to 564 ℃. If glass mold pressing is performed using a material with a low transition temperature and high mechanical strength, then the optical glasses developed in this study can be completely commercialized.

The change of the photoluminescence properties of La2O3-CaF2-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics doped with rare earth material, that is used as laser and optical sensors, was analyzed according to heat treatment temperature. The heat treatment conditions for fabricating glass-ceramics were obtained through non-isothermal thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis was performed to determine the degree of crystal growth and kinds of crystal phases generated according to the heat treatment temperature. Using Scherrer's equation, it was predicted that crystals with a size of 25~40 nm would be generated inside the glass-ceramics. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed that the specimens heat-treated at 660℃ to 670℃ for 1 hour had the highest PL intensity. Also, from the CIE color coordinate analysis, all glass-ceramics specimens emitted red-orange light regardless of the heat treatment condition.

Glass-infiltrated alumina, which can be used as an all-ceramic dental crown, was prepared. The glasses in the system of SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$-Al$_2$O$_3$-CaO-La$_2$O$_3$with various amount of $Al_2$O$_3$infiltrated into a porous sintered alumina. The effect of $Al_2$O$_3$on the infiltration characteristics and its mechanical strength were studied. The corrosion of the sintered alumina by infiltrated glasses was prevented by increasing the amount of $Al_2$O$_3$in the glass batches, this increased the bending strength of the glass infiltrated alumina composite. The crack like voids in the sintered alumina was a cause of the deteriorating the mechanical strength of the composite, and this can be eliminated by sintering the alumina at 130$0^{\circ}C$. Glass infiltration under the vacuum atmosphere enhanced the hording strength of the composite up to 453$\pm$31 MPa.

Infrared radiation (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from about 700 nm to 1 mm. Any object with a temperature above absolute zero (0 K) radiates in the infrared region, and a material that transmits radiant energy in the range of 0.74 to 1.4 um is referred to as a near-infrared optical material. Germanate-based glass is attracting attention as a glass material for infrared optical lenses because of its simple manufacturing process. With the recent development of the glass molding press (GMP) process, thermal imaging cameras using oxide-based infrared lenses can be easily mass-produced, expanding their uses. To improve the mechanical and optical properties of commercial materials consisting of ternary systems, germanate-based heavy metal oxide glasses were prepared using a melt-cooling method. The fabricated samples were evaluated for thermal, structural, and optical properties using DSC, XRD, and XRF, respectively. To derive a composition with high glass stability for lens applications, ZnO and Sb₂O₃ were substituted at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mol%. The glass with 1 mol% added Sb₂O₃ was confirmed to have the optimal conditions, with an optical transmittance of 80 % or more, a glass transition temperature of 660 ℃, a refractive index of 1.810, and a Vickers hardness of 558. The possibility of its application as an alternative infrared lens material to existing commercial materials capable of GMP processing was confirmed.

The thermal stability and crystallization behaviors of La₂O₃ containing B₂O₃-CaO-Al₂O₃ glass waste forms were investigated to evaluate the stability of waste form during emergencies in deep geological disposal. For glasses containing 15% La₂O₃, LaBO₃ phases were observed as major crystals from 780 ℃ and exhibited needlelike structures. Al, Ca, and O were homogeneously distributed throughout the entire specimen, while some portions of B and La were concentrated in some parts. By differential thermal analysis at various heating rates, the activation energy for grain growth and the crystallization rate of LaBO₃ were calculated to be 12.6 kJ/mol and 199.5 kJ/mol, respectively. These values are comparable to other waste forms being developed for the same purpose.

Low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology offers significant benefits over the other established packaging technologies for high density, high microwave frequency, and fast signal application. Most conventional electroceraramics do not meet the basic requirements in respect of sinterability for LTCC technology. Attention is, therefore, focused on the role of glasses because of the capability they supply with lower sintering temperatures. In this study, commercial ceramic (MBRT-90) in the system BaO-N $d_2$ $O_3$-Ti $O_2$ (BNT: 40 ~ 80 wt%) and L $a_2$ $O_3$- $B_2$ $O_3$-Ti $O_2$ glass (LBT;60 ~ 20 wt%) were prepared. These glass/ceramic composites were evaluated for sintering behavior, phase evaluation, densities, interface reaction, crystallinity, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties. It was found that the addition LBT glass frits significantly lowered the sintering temperature to below 90$0^{\circ}C$ and as temperature increased (750~90$0^{\circ}C$) densification developed dynamically which was meant to be as over 95% of relative density. It is supposed that in the microstructure, the grain size was increased accompanying with the formation of different phases such as LaB $O_3$ and Ti $O_2$ under the condition of increasing sintering temperature. The sintered bodies represented applicable dielectric properties, namely 20 ~ 40 for $\varepsilon_{{\gamma}}$, ~ 10000 GHz for Q* $f_{0}$ and 10~80 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ for $\tau$$_{f}$. The results suggest that the composite is one of feasible candidates for the microwave use in LTCC technology.y.e use in LTCC technology.y.

Abstract Spinel powder having a particle size of 0.9$\mu$m was calcined for 30 min at $1300^{\circ}C$, followed by ball milling for 4h, to obtain the spinel particle size of 3.29$\mu$m. The die-pressed spinel was presintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2h and then lanthanum aluminosilicate glass was infiltrated at $1080^{\circ}C$ for 0~2 h to investigate the penetration kinetics in glass-spinel composite. The infiltration distance is parabolic in time due to capillarity. The strength and the fracture toughness of glassspinel composites were 317 MPa and 3.56 MPa $m^{1/2}$ respectively and dual microstructure of column (needle) and polygonal shapes as a result of recrystallization was observed due to the high calcination temperature.
