ZnO 바리스터는 다결정구조를 가지는 반도체 소자로 결정립과 입계의 미세구조 제어를 통해 비선형적인 전류/전압 특성을 가지기 때문에 서지(surge)전압으로부터 회로를 보호하는 역할을 한다. 이러한 ZnO 바리스터에서 원하는 전기적 물성을 얻기 위해서는 소결 공정에서 미세구조의 제어가 중요하다. 따라서 소결 공정에서 중요한 변수들과 소결체의 전기적 물성인 유전율로 구성된 데이터셋을 정의한 후 실험계획법 기반으로 데이터를 수집했다. 수집된 실험데이터셋을 기계학습 알고리즘에 학습하여 메타모델을 개발했고, 개발된 메타모델에 수치기반 최적화 알고리즘인 HMA(Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm)를 적용하여 최대 유전율을 가질 수 있는 공정조건을 도출했다. 이러한 메타모델 기반의 최적화를 다변수 시스템인 세라믹공정에 적용한다면 최소한의 실험만으로 최적 공정조건 탐색이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this study was to develop a synthesis process for ${\beta}$-SiC powders to reduce the synthesis temperature and to control the particle size and to prevent particle agglomeration of the synthesized ${\beta}$-SiC powders. A phenol resin and TEOS were used as the starting materials for the carbon and Si sources, respectively. $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursors with various C/Si mole ratios were fabricated using a conventional sol-gel process. ${\beta}$-SiC powders were synthesized by a carbothermal reduction process using $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursors with various C/Si mole ratios (1.6 ~ 2.5) fabricated using a sol-gel process. In this study, the effects of excess carbon and the addition of Si powders to the $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursor on the synthesis temperature and particle size of ${\beta}$-SiC were examined. It was found that the addition of metallic Si powders to the $SiO_2$/C hybrid precursor with excess carbon reduced the synthesis temperature of the ${\beta}$-SiC powders to as low as $1300^{\circ}C$. The synthesis temperature for ${\beta}$-SiC appeared to be reduced with an increase of the C/Si mole ratio in the $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursor by a direct carburization reaction between Si and excess carbon.

본 연구에서는 관형보다 단위시간당 투과량이 월등히 많은 다채널 세라믹 분리막을 사용하였으며, 고도정수처리 혼성공정은 모듈 내부와 다채널 정밀여과막 외부 사의의 공간에 입상활성탄(GAC)을 충전하여 구성하였다. 정수 원수 중의 자연산 유기물(NOM)과 미세 무기 입자를 대체하기 위해, 휴믹산(humic acid)과 카올린(kaolin) 모사용액을 사용하였다. 유기물질의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 일정한 30mg/L의 카올린 농도에서 휴믹산(humic acid)의 농도를 $2{\sim}10\;mg/L$로 변화시켰다. 그 결과, 막오염의 저항($R_f$)과 투과선속(J)은 휴믹산의 농도에 따라 큰 영향을 받았다. 또한 역세척 주기(FT)의 영향을 살펴본 결과, 더 짧은 FT는 빈번한 역세척으로 막오염의 감소와 투과선속의 향상에 더 효과적이었다. 그러나 운전비용을 고려하면, 최적 FT조건은 8분이였다. 한편, 이 다채널 정밀여과막 및 GAC 혼성공정을 호소수에 적용한 결과, 평균 처리효율은 탁도 98.02%, $UV_{254}$ 흡괌도 75.64%, 총용존고형물(TDS) 7.18%, 화학적산소요구량 84.73%이었다.

Degradation of performance and life time of a functional material or device thereof is induced, to a great extent, by mass transfer in the material that is driven by various thermodynamic forces imposed intentionally or accidentally during its operation or service. The forces are any gradient of intensive thermodynamic variables, component chemical potentials, electrical potential, temperature, stresses, and the like. This paper reviews electric-field induced degradation phenomena in ionic solid compounds including insulation resistance degradation, crystal shift, microstructural alterations, compositional unmixing, and compound decomposition. Their inner workings are also discussed qualitatively.

A hybrid coextrusion and lamination process has been developed to fabricate macrochanneled bioceramic scaffolds. This process was mainly composed of three steps (i.e., coextrusion of thermoplastic compound, lamination, and thermal treatment), forming unique pore channels in dense bioceramic body. Pore channels were formed by removing carbon black material, while calcium phosphate or Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (TZP) with a calcium phosphate coating layer were used as dense body. Two kinds of pore structures were fabricated; that is, the pore channels were formed in uni- or three-directional array. Such macrochanneled bioceramic scaffolds exhibited the precisely controlled pore structure (pore size, porosity, and interconnection), offering excellent mechanical properties and cellular responses.

Lead monoxide has two phases at room temperature. One is a yellow orthorhombic phase, the other is a redtetragonal phase. Sometimes two phases are hybrided. The specificity of phase transitions of lead oxide is found during the milling of the batch including lead oxide. The pure orthorhombic phase of PbO can be transformed to the tetragonal phase perfectly by wet ball milling (milling liquid is distilled water) without thermal energy. However, when ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and aceton are used as milling liquid, respectively, the hybrid form of orthorhombic andtetragonal phases is obtained by wet ball milling. From the hybrid form heat-treated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs, this work results that mechanical phase transition of orthorhombic phase make a new form as distorted type orthorhombic phase of PbO.

The size of various alumina ceramics used in the semiconductor and display industries must be increased to increase the size of wafers and panels. In this research, large alumina ceramics were fabricated by pressure-vacuum hybrid slip casting (PVHSC) employing a commercial powder, followed by sintering in a furnace. In the framework of the PVHSC method, the consolidation occurs not only by compression of the slip in the casting room but also by suction of the dispersion medium from the casting room. When sintered at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, the fabricated large-size alumina ($1,550{\times}300{\times}30mm^3$) exhibited a dense microstructure corresponding to more than 99.2% of the theoretical density and a high purity of 99.79%. The flexural and compressive strengths of the alumina plate were greater than 340 MPa and 2,600 MPa, respectively.

The effect of the parameters for few-layered graphene growth by thermal CVD on nickel substrate was investigated. Graphene can be synthesized by using different strategies. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has known as one of the most attractive methods to produce graphene due to its good film uniformity, compatibility and large scale production. The control of parameters such as temperature, growth time and pressure in CVD process has been widely recognized as the most important process in graphene growth. Different carbon precursors, methane and acetylene, were introduced in the quartz tube with a variety of growth conditions. Raman spectroscopy was used to confirm the presence of a few- or multi-layered graphene.

Aluminum Oxide($Al_2O_3$) ceramics are excellent candidates for such applications due to their outstanding mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties. However, they are difficult to machine using conventional mechanical methods. Carbon fillers, such as carbon nanotubes(CNT) and graphene nanoplatelets(GNP)can be dispersed in a ceramic matrix to improve the mechanical and electrical properties. In this study, CNT and Graphene reinforced hybrid ceramic composites were fabricated using the spark plasma sintering method at a temperature of $1,500^{\circ}C$, pressure of 40 MPa, and soaking time of 10min. Besides this, the material properties such as microstructure, crystal structure, hardness, and electrical conductivity were analyzed using FE-SEM, XRD, Vickers, and the 4-point probe method. A micro machining test was carried out to compare the effects of the material properties and the machining performance for CNT and Graphene reinforced ceramic composites.

The restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) with more than one cusp missing and thin remaining walls is challenging for the general practitioner. The use of posts combined with full coverage restorations is a well-established approach, yet not following the minimal invasive principles of adhesive dentistry. Endocrowns are indirect monoblock restorations that use the pulp chamber of the ETT for retention. In this study the fabrication of 4 endocrowns and their clinical performance will be discussed. Two clinical cases include computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing manufactured molar endocrowns (one feldspathic ceramic and one hybrid composite-ceramic restoration) and the other two are dental laboratory manufactured resin composite premolar endocrown restorations. The modified United States Public Health Service criteria were used to assess the clinical behavior of the restorations at different follow up periods. Endocrown restorations present a satisfactory clinical alternative, either by the use of resin composite or glass ceramic and hybrid materials. Specific guidelines with minimal alterations should be followed for an endocrown restoration to be successful. Due to limited evidence regarding the long term evaluation of this restorative technique, a careful selection of cases should be applied.
