Silicon (Si) is considered as a promising substitute for the conventional graphite due to its high theoretical specific capacity (3579 mAh/g, Li₁₅Si₄) and proper working voltage (~0.3V vs Li⁺/Li). However, the large volume change of Si during (de)lithiation brings about severe degradation of battery performances, rendering it difficult to be applied in the practical battery directly. As a one feasible candidate of industrial Si anode, silicon monoxide (SiO_x) demonstrates great electrochemical stability with its specialized strategy, downsized Si nanocrystallites surrounded by Li⁺ inactive buffer phase (Li₂O and Li₄SiO₄). Nevertheless, SiO_x inherently has the initial irreversible capacity and poor electrical conductivity. To overcome those issues, conformal carbon coating has been performed on SiO_x utilizing ethylbenzene as the carbon precursor of chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Through various characterizations, it is confirmed that the carbon is homogeneously coated on the surface of SiO_x. Accordingly, the carbon-coated SiOx from CVD using ethylbenzene demonstrates 73% of the first cycle efficiency and great cycle life (88.1% capacity retention at 50th cycle). This work provides a promising synthetic route of the uniform and scalable carbon coating on Si anode for high-energy density.

The Carbon/Carbon composite was prepared from 3D carbon fiber preform and coal tar pitch as matrix precursor. In order to evaluate of ablative characteristics of the composite, liquid rocket system was employed Kerosene and liquid oxygen was used as propellants, operating at a nominal chamber pressure of 330 psi and a nominal mixture ratio (O/F) of 2.0. The results of an experimental evaluation were that high density composite exhibited high, while low density composites showed low erosion resistance. The erosion rate against heat flux was highly depended on the density of the materials. The morphology of eroded fiber showed differently according to collision angle with heat flux on the composite. The granular matrix which derived from carbonization pressure of 900 bar was more resistance to heat flux than well-developed flow type matrix.

Cemented tungsten carbide has been used in cutting tools and die materials, and is an important industrial material. When the particle size is reduced to ultrafine, the hardness and other mechanical properties are improved remarkably. Ultrafine cemented carbide with high toughness and hardness is now widely used. The objective of this study is synthesis of nanostructured WC-Co powders by liquid phase method of tungstate. The precursor powders were obtained by freezen-drying of aqueous solution of soluble salts, such as ammonium metatungstate, cobalt nitrate. the final compositions were WC-10Co. In the case of liquid phase method, it can be observed synthesis of WC-10Co. The properties of powder produced at various temperature, were estimated from the SEM, BET and C/S analyser.

Bi$_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{\delta}$ superconducting films were rapidly fabricated on copper tape by liquid reaction between a Cu-free precursor and Cu tape (LiReac-PreCu) method. Those thick films were well oriented along the c-axis. The precursor was made by melt-quenched technology using twin roller. The melt-quenched films were transparent and glossy yellow in appearance. These films which were the compostion of Bi$_2SrCaO_y$, Bi$_3Sr_2CaO_z$ were placed on copper tape and then heated at various temperatures for several minutes in air. They were analyzed using X-ray powder diffraction, SEM, a DC four-probe method. The mechanism of superconducting phase formation . from the melt-quenched precursor on Cu tape was studied

Polyimides (PIs) exhibit excellent thermal stability, mechanical, dielectric, and chemical resistance properties due to their heterocyclic imide rings and aromatic rings on the backbone. Due to these advantageous properties, PIs have found diverse applications in industry. Most PIs are insoluble because of the nature of the high chemical resistance. Thus, they are generally used as a soluble precursor polymer, which forms complexes with solvent molecules, and then finally converts to the corresponding polyimides via imidization reaction. This complexation with solvent has caused severe difficulty in the characterization of the precursor polymers. However, significant progress has recently been made on the detailed characterization of PI precursors and their imidization reaction. On the other hand, much research effort has been exerted to reduce the dielectric constant of PIs, as demanded in the microelectronics industry, through chemical modifications, as well as to develop high performance, light-emitting PIs and liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer PIs with both rubbing and rubbing-free processibility, which are desired in the flat-panel display industry. This article reviews this recent research progresses in characterizing PIs and their precursors and in developing low dielectric constant, light-emitting, and LC alignment layer PIs.

The ferroelectric SBT films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates by liquid injection metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with single-mixture solution of Sr[Ta(OEt)$_5$(dmae)]$_2$and Bi(C$_6$ 6/H$_5$)$_3$. The Sr/Ta and Bi/Ta ratio in SBT films depended on deposition temperature and mol ratio of precursor in the single-mixture solution. At the substrate temperature of 40$0^{\circ}C$, Sr/Ta and Bi/Ta ratio were close to 0.4 and 1 at precursor mol ratio of 0.5~1.0, respectively. As-deposited film was amorphous. However, after annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in oxygen atmosphere, the diffraction patterns indicated polycrystalline SBT phase. The remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of SBT film annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$ were 4.7$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 115.7kV/cm at an applied voltage of 5V, respectively. The SBT films annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$ showed practically no polarization fatigue up to 10$^10$ switching cycles.

In the last (fourth) section, the discussion will entail a silicon-nitride/silicon-carbide nanocomposite, produced by pyrolysis of liquid polymer precursors, demonstrating one of the lowest creep rates reported so far in ceramics at the comparable temperature of $1400^{\circ}C$. This was first achieved by avoiding the oxynitride glass phase at the intergrain boundaries. One important factor in the processing of these nanocomposites was the use of the electrical field assisted sintering method.

The Indium Tin Oxide(ITO) nano powders were prepared by spray drying and heat treatment process. The liquid solution dissolved Indium and Tin salts was first spray dried to prepare chemically homogeneous recursor powders at the optimum spray drying conditions. Subsequently, the precursor powders were subjected to eat treatment process. The nano size ITO powders was synthesized from the previous precursor powders and the npuities also were decreased with increasing heat treatment temperature. Furthermore, the lattice parameter of TO nano powders was increased by doping Tin into Indium with increasing heat treatment temperature. The par icle size of the resultant ITO powders was about 20∼50nm and chemical composition was composed of In:Sn =86:10 wt.％ at 80$0^{\circ}C$.

A well oriented Bi-2212 superconductor thick films were fabricated by screen printing with a Cu-free Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O powder on a copper plate and heat-treating at 820- $880^{\circ}C$for several minute in low oxygen pressure or are. At minute in low oxygen pressure of air. At , the printing layer partially melted by reaction between the Cu-free precursor by reaction between the Cu-free$870^{\circ}C$ precursor and CuO of the oxidizing copper plate. It is believed that the solid phase is Bi : Sr : Ca : Cu = 2 : 2 : 0 : 1. It is likely that the Bi-2212 superconducting phase is formed at Bi-2212 superconducting phase is formed at Bi-free phase/liquid interface by nucleation and grows.

Superconducting BiSrCaCu(Ni)O ceramicss have been prepared by the gel method using an aqueous solution containing a tartaric acid. The aqueous solution of metal salts was concentrated without precipitation. The precursor so prepared was homogeneou s and calcined at $825^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to produce superconducting phase. The thermal decomposition of gels, the formation of superconducting phase, and their ceramic microstructure were studied using IR, TGA, XRD, resistance measurements, and SEM. This method is highly reproducible and leads to powders with excellent homogeneity and small particle size for easy sinterability. The nickel dopant substituting for Cu gives rise to the gradual decrease of the Tc. Phase pure 2212 ceramics were obtained at 825 $^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. SEM pictures showed that liquid phase was formed when the samples were sintered temperatures higher than 825 $^{\circ}C$.
