High speed steels (HSS) were used as cutting tools and wear parts, because of high strength, wear resistance, and hardness together with an appreciable toughness and fatigue resistance. Conventional manufacturing process for production of components with HSS was used by casting. The powder metallurgy techniques were currently developed due to second phase segregation of conventional process. The powder injection molding method (PIM) was received attention owing to shape without additional processes. The experimental specimens were manufactured with T42 HSS powders (59 vol%) and polymer (41 vol%). The metal powders were prealloyed water-atomised T42 HSS. The green parts were solvent debinded in normal n-Hexane at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours and thermal debinded at $N_2-H_2$ mixed gas atmosphere for 14 hours. Specimens were sintered in $N_2$, $H_2$ gas atmosphere and vacuum condition between 1200 and $1320^{\circ}C$. In result, polymer degradation temperatures about optimum conditions were found at $250^{\circ}C$ and $480^{\circ}C$. After sintering at $N_2$ gas atmosphere, maximum hardness of 310Hv was observed at $1280^{\circ}C$. Fine and well dispersed carbide were observed at this condition. But relative density was under 90%. When sintering at $H_2$ gas atmosphere, relative density was observed to 94.5% at $1200^{\circ}C$. However, the low hardness was obtained due to decarbonization by hydrogen. In case of sintering at the vacuum of $10^{-5}$ torr at temperature of $1240^{\circ}C$, full density and 550Hv hardness were obtained without precipitation of MC and $M_6C$ in grain boundary.

Mn-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ phosphor particles having submicrometer sizes were synthesized by a solid-state reaction method using methyl hydrogen polysiloxane-treated ZnO, fumed $SiO_2$ and various Mn sources. The crystallization and photoluminescent properties of the phosphor particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and by their photoluminescence(PL) spectra. Due to the effect of the dispersion and coherence of the methyl hydrogen polysiloxane-treated ZnO, the Mn-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ particles were successfully obtained by a solid state method at $1000^{\circ}C$, and the maximum PL intensity of the prepared particles under vacuum ultra violet(VUV) excitation occurred at a Mn concentration of 0.02mol and a sintering temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$.

To improve mechanical properties of $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$composites have been controlled dispersion of ultra low size ZrO$_2$ particles in $Al_2$O$_3$ ceramics by polymeric precursor method (Pechini process). In case of coprecipitation or mechanical mixing of ZrO$_2$ powders with $Al_2$O$_3$, homogeneous dispersion and controlling the ZrO$_2$ size were relatively difficult due to high sintering temperature. So the polyesterization process of Zr/Y(NO$_3$)$_3$-citric acid solution in ethylene glycol with the commercial sub-micron sized o(-alumina powder (Sumitomo AES-11(0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)) was adopted in order to obtain homogeneous dispersion of ZrO$_2$ in A1203. By this partial polyesterization process, the homogeneous dispersion of relatively low sized ZrO$_2$in $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$composites was achieved at 1450∼1$600^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature range and their mechanical properties were measured.

Sintering behavior of $BaO-Nd_{2}O_3-TiO_2$ with a Pb-based glassceramics frit were investigated in order to understand an effect of glassceramics as a low temperature sintering agent on dielectric ceramics. A green sheet form was fabricated through tape casting method with the glassceramic fut added $BaO-Nd_{2}O_3-TiO_2$. The dispersion properties, rheological properties and final density of dielectric composit slurry as a function of amount and composition of organic additives was examined. The dispersants' addition was effective in controlling dispersion of the ceramics in solution. The addition of excessive dispersant showed adverse effect on dispersion. The prepared slurries, containing ceramic : powders, glass-ceramics and various kinds of organic viechles, exhibited typical shear thinning behavior. The best properties of tape casting appeared powder to solvent ratio 65 : 35 and amount of the binder 6 wt$\%$ and plasticizer 3 wt$\%$. The viscosity of the slurry was 677 cps and green/sintered density in the tape was $3.3 g/cm^3,\;5.56 g/cm^3$ respectively.

In the propane dehydrogenation reaction proceeding at high temperature, the main cause of deactivation of the catalyst is coke deposition and sintering. In order to investigate the catalysts for reducing such inactivation, we have investigated the applicability of $MgAl_2O_4$ as a carrier for the catalytic dehydrogenation reaction. $MgAl_2O_4$ was prepared by Alcohthermal method at calcination temperature of 800, 900, $1000^{\circ}C$, and $Pt-Sn/MgAl_2O_4$ catalyst was prepared by supporting Pt and Sn by co-impregnation method. The reaction temperature was conducted at a high temperature of 650, $600^{\circ}C$ to confirm the thermal stability. As a result of the reaction experiment, it was confirmed that the conversion rate and yield of propane dehydrogenation reaction test were higher than that of the carrier-applied catalyst having a carrier calcination temperature of 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$, when the carrier-applied catalyst having a calcination temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ was used, It was found that the yield was higher than that of $Pt-Sn/{\theta}-Al_2O_3$ at $650^{\circ}C$. TGA, BET, XRD, CO-chemisorption, and SEM-EDS analyzes were performed for characterization. $MgAl_2O_4-800^{\circ}C$ was correlated with the relationship between good yield, Pt dispersion and low deactivation rate.

Today, silicon and epoxy resin are used as materials of conversion lenses for white LEDs on the basis of their good bonding and transparency in LED packages. But these materials give rise to long-term performance problems such as reaction with water, yellowing transition, and shrinkage by heat. These problems are major factors underlying performance deterioration of LEDs. In this study, in order to address these problems, we fabricated a conversion lenses using glass, which has good chemical durability and is stable to heat. The fabricated conversion lenses were applied to a remote phosphor type. In this experiment, the conversion lens for white LED was coated on a glass substrate by a screen printing method using paste. The thickness of the coated conversion lens was controlled during 2 or 3 iterations of coating. The conversion lens fabricated under high heat treatment temperature and with a thin coating showed higher luminance efficiency and CCT closer to white light than fabricated lenses under low heat treatment temperature or a thick coating. The conversion lens with $32{\mu}m$ coating thickness showed the best optical properties: the measured values of the CCT, CRI, and luminance efficiency were 4468 K, 68, and 142.22 lm/w in 20 wt% glass frit, 80 wt% phosphor with sintering at $800^{\circ}C$.

The oxygen flux of SDC ($Sm_2O_3\;doped\;CeO_2$) solid electrolyte membranes with electronic and oxygen ion-ic conductivities has been investigated as a basic research in order to develop the conversion process of na-tural gas to syngas using the ceramic membrane reactor. Tube type membranes(1 mm thickness) were fa-bricated by slip casting of SDC powders prepared by the oxalate coprecipitaion method. Dense oxygen per-meation membranes(0.1 mm thickness) could be synthesized via sintering at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 2h and their re-lative density was over 95% The oxygen flux through SDC membranes doped 20mol% $Sm_15$ was about $1.13{\times}10^{-5}\;mol/m_2{\cdot}sec$ at low temperature around $800^{\circ}C$. In addition the SDC membranes showed a good thermaal stability for a long period of service.

In high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells, If high-efficiency solar cells are to be commercialized. It is need to develop superior contact formation method and material that can be inexpensive and simple without degradation of the solar cells ability. For reason of plated metallic contact is not only high metallic purity but also inexpensive manufacture. It is available to apply mass production. Especially, Nickel, Copper and Silver are applied widely in various electronic manufactures as easily formation is available by plating. The metallic contact system of silicon solar cell must have several properties, such as low contact resistance, easy application and good adhesion. Ni is shown to be a suitable barrier to Cu diffusion as well as desirable contact metal to silicon. Nickel monosilicide(NiSi) has been suggested as a suitable silicide due to its lower resistivity, lower sintering temperature and lower layer stress than $TiSi_2$. Copper and Silver can be plated by electro & light-induced plating method. Light-induced plating makes use the photovoltaic effect of solar cell to deposite the metal on the front contact. The cell is immersed into the electrolytic plating bath and irradiated at the front side by light source, which leads to a current density in the front side grid. Electroless plated Ni/ Electro&light-induced plated Cu/ Light-induced plated Ag contact solar cells result in an energy conversion efficiency of 14.68 % on $0.2{\sim}0.6{\Omega}{\cdot}cm,\;20{\times}20mm^2$, CZ(Czochralski) wafer.
