Digital ink-jet printing technology using ceramic ink, which is thermally stable at high temperature above $1000^{\circ}C$, has an advantage of eco-friendly process applicable to manufacturing products with an excellent durability and various designs. Recently, replacement from conventional manufacturing process to digital process using ink-jet printing technique has been significantly accelerated in ceramic tile industry. In this study, we investigated ink-jet printability of ceramic ink on ceramic tile. Cyan, magenta, yellow, black ceramic inks, which are digital primary color of ink-jet printing, were printed on glazed surface of ceramic tiles, and their printabilities were comparatively analyzed. High temperature sintering process is generally required for manufacturing ceramic products, thus effect of sintering process on printed pattern of ceramic ink was also investigated by analyzing ink penetration depth and ink dot area.

발굴된 과거 고려청자의 화학성분조성과 물리적 특성에 대한 평가를 하고 미량성분의 청자의 발색에 미치는 영향을 고찰한 결과, 고려 청자 태토는 Fe$_2$O$_3$가 2%, TiO$_2$가 0.8% 함유되어 있었으며, 청자유는 석회.장석유로서 Fe$_2$O$_3$가 1.0~1.2%, TiO$_2$가 0.16% 포함되어 있었다. 비색청자의 경우 미량성분인 MnO$_2$가 P$_2$O$_{5}$의 함량이 0.37%와 0.76%, CuO는 300~500ppm 정도 함유하고 있었다. 반사율 측정 결과 일반적인 청자가 540~570nm의 장파장대에서의 반사율이 급격히 떨어지는데 반하여, 13세기 비색 청자의 것은 적색 파장대에서 10%이상 높았다. CoO는 미량 첨가로도 유약의 청색 파장대 반사율이 높고, 적색 파장대의 반사율이 급격히 떨어지며 청자 발색에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. CuO는 0.05%를 첨가했을 경우 적색 파장대에서 반사율 곡선이 높게 나타나고 있어 비색 청자발색에 효과적이었다. 또한 명도를 나타내는 L*값도 CuO가 첨가된 유약이 가장 높았고, 비색청자의 색상은 녹청자에 비해 맑고 깊은 색감을 보였다.

This study aims to synthesize emerald-green malayaite pigments using $CaCO_3$, $SiO_2$, $SnO_2$ and $V_2O_5$. For this purpose, the optimum composition is $CaV_{0.25}Sn_{0.687}SiO_5$ and heating condition is at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 6 h of soaking time. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometers(FT-IR), the Raman Spectrometer, Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and the UV/Vis spectroscopy. The substituted V ion for Sn was observed to be quadrivalence. The analytical results of the synthesized pigment showed the tetragonal crystal, a typical form of Malayaite, and the particle size to be approximately $5{\sim}10\;{\mu}m$. The color in lime glaze added 12 wt% pigment was emerald green, and CIE Lab parameters are $L^*=67.73$, $a^*=-12.39$ and $b^*=9.28$.

The investigation includes the application of $ZrSiO_4-Cd(SxSe_{1-x})$stain to ceramic body. The currently developed stain was compared to the commercially available stain in applying to ceremic glaze. Two stains (currently developed and commecially available) were mixed with frits and applied to ceramic tiles. The tiles were fired at 850 to 120$0^{\circ}C$ and tested by colorimeter in X.Y.Z. axis of the wavelength ranging from 580nm to 650nm. Applicability 18 stains to ceramic body was investigated by ISCC-NBS of Munsell color nomenclature. $ZrSiO_4-Cd(SxSe_{1-x})$stain is as good as V and Pr series stain in mixing composition of frits 9 to 1. It maintains red color at 100$0^{\circ}C$ in the mixture of frits, and shows as the strong acid resistance stain.

[ $Al_2TiO_5$ ]has a high refractive index and good solubility of the chromophore in the $Al_2TiO_5$ lattice, which allows this structure to be a good candidate for the development of new ceramic pigments. However, pure $Al_2TiO_5$ is well known to decompose on firing at $900{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. However, this process can be inhibited by the incorporation of certain metal cations into its crystalline lattice. In this study, the synthesis of gray ceramic pigment was performed by doping cobalt on the $Al_2TiO_5$ crystal structure. The $Al_2TiO_5$ was synthesized using $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$, and doped with $Co_3O_4$ as a chromophore material. In order to prevent the thermal decomposition during the cooling procedure, MgO was added to samples by 0.05 mole, 0.1 mole, and 0.15 mole as a stabilizer. The samples were fired at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and cooled naturally. The crystal structure, solubility limit, and color of the synthesized pigment were analyzed using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, UV, and UV-vis. $Al_2O_3$ was available for the formation of $CoAl_2O_4$, which should also be considered in order to explain the small amount of this phase detected in the sample with the higher $Co^{2+}$ content (${\geq}$ 0.03 mole). It was found that the solubility limit of $Co^{2+}$ in the $Al_2TiO_5$ crystal was 0.02 mole% through an analysis of Raman spectroscopy. Through the addition of a pigment with 0.02 mole% of $Co^{2+}$ to lime-barium glaze, stabilized gray color pigments with 66.54, -2.35, and 4.68 as CIE-$L^*a^*b^*$ were synthesized.

Iron oxides are the essential coloring oxides in traditional ceramic glazes. However, when Fe is involved in the coloration in the form of ions or colloids in glazes with low Fe content, it is difficult to identify the iron oxide phases. Generally, in many these glazes, Ca-rich minerals are observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) or microscopic images, owing to their devitrification by the high Ca content. This study attempts to elucidate the correlation between the crystalline structure and coloration in the glazes while mainly focusing on neoformed Ca-rich minerals and Fe content. An experimental firing was carried out to produce tree ash glazes, with pine tree ash and Buyeo feldspar. In the case of oxidation glazes, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and XRD patterns did not exhibit any Ca-rich crystals, and all the visible light reflectance spectra lines exhibited a similar shape. In contrast, the reduction glazes divided into blue glazes and other colored glazes according to the shapes of their reflectance spectra. It was confirmed that the influence of Ca-rich minerals on the glaze color was more pronounced than the blue color of the reduction glazes when the Ca and feldspar contents were sufficiently high and low, respectively, to form wollastonite. As the Ca content increased and the elemental composition of the reduction glazes changed, the neoformation of the Ca-rich minerals, such as wollastonite, anorthite, diopside, and akermanite was sequentially observed.

This study is re-creational experiment of Goryeo gold-painted decoration based on the research of the gold remaining and gold painting technique on the two pieces of Goryeo gold-painted celadon and the three pieces of Chinese gold-painted porcelain on North Song period which ones have been owned by National Museum of Korea since 2007. For the observation of glue state and color developing ability, four kinds of agglutinative agent and gold powder were mixed over the porcelain sherds, then gradually fired from $100^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$. Visual effect and ideal temperature were measured. Among of them, oil and glue showed the best results in glue state and color developing ability. Through those results, the entire Goryeo engraved celadon were reproduced in modern facilities. Oil and glue were gold-painted over the glaze then it was fired at the ideal temperature 700 to $800^{\circ}C$. For observation the binding condition, the gold-painting cross section was looked by the scanning electron microscope (SEM). As the result, oil and glue did not make much difference in Agglutinative agent, but gold was good, the color developing ability, however, in the case of oil, the edge of gold is curled because of its interfacial tension, and it is not dried well at room temperature so the working property is not as good as the glue. Glue more effective in terms of work efficiency, but color developing ability to fall slightly in this experiment were able to see through.

The excavated potteries of Goryeo Period from the Sandongri archaeological site in Seosan were studied on physicochemical analyses. Surface color of the samples are mainly grayish blue, and showed the natural glaze by melting the body soils during the burning. Partly, swelling surface are observed bloated marks because of blow out gas by burning. The potteries are some possibility of making the similar source clay on the basis of magnetic susceptibilities (about $1{\times}10^{-3}SI\;unit$) and general occurrences. Values of specific gravity, apparent porosity and absorption ratio are divided two groups as highly different cases of bloating surface samples. The source clay of the potteries used mainly microcrystalline clay, the mineral compositions are quartz and some colored minerals. Based on the analysis, the burning temperature of the potteries are assumed that they were around $1,100^{\circ}C$ because detection of quartz and mullite within hard and compact matrices. As geochemical variations of the samples, evolution trends of rare earth, compatible and incompatible elements showed very similar patterns excepting the some major elements, that means the potteries are interpreted to making by elutriation processes using the same raw clays from very similar basement rocks of genetically.

The purpose of this study was to find out the correlation through comparative analysis of used materials and manufacturing techniques such as firing characteristics for sherds excavated from celadon kiln site in Punggil-ri, Jangheung. The color difference of the sherds was very wide, and even in the microstructure of the cross section of the glaze layer and the body layer, the celadons, whitewares, blackware, and stonewares could not be characterized because they did not show distinct differences from each other. As a result of estimating the firing temperature through the analysis of constituent minerals and thermal analysis, most of them were estimated to have been fired at 1000℃, but some were fired at high temperatures above 1200℃. It was difficult to clearly distinguish between celadon and whiteware even in the major compositional content of bodies. In the statistical analysis, glaze could be classified three group according to the type of sherds, but the bodies of celadons, whitewares, and blackware classified into one similar group. It is considered that it is not more likely differences in raw materials but some ingredients were removed or added during the purification process. Conclusionally, in this kiln site was found through scientific analysis that there were technical attempts to produce various ceramics, and that the manufacturing techniques and materials of ceramics were in an early stage that was not stabilized.
