During the process of synthesizing green celsian pigments, attempts were made to replace a given amount of $BaCO_3$ with $SrCO_3$ to accelerate the hexagonal to monoclinic celsian phase transition, which was assumed to promote color development. Monoclinic celsian have been synthesized from Hongkong-Kaolin, $BaCO_3$, $SrCO_3$, $Al(OH)_3$, $SiO_2$ and $SrCO_3$ with 1 to 1.5 wt% of LiF as a mineralizer from 1100 to $1300^{\circ}C$. It was found that replacing $BaCO_3$ with $SrCO_3$ allowed monoclinic celsian to be formed at a lower temperature. While the pigments containing 1 mole of $BaCO_3$ were difficult to synthesize monoclinic celsian with absence of the mineralizer, the formation of monoclinic celsian was successfully achieved even without mineralizer by using 0.25 mole of $SrCO_3$ at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The color development was improved from yellowish green to green with increasing amount of $SrCO_3$ being replaced.

In this study, the glass frit of $PbO-TiO-2-SiO_2-BaO-ZnO-Al_2O-3-CaO-B_2O_3-Bi_2O_3-MgO$ system was manufactured. The glass was melted at $1,400{\circ}C$, quenched and attrition-milled. The glass frit powder was pressed and fired for 2h at the range of $750~1,000{\circ}C$. The crystallization of glass frit began at about $750{\circ}$ and at low temperature, the main crystal phases were hexagonal celsian($BaAl_2Si_2O_8$) and alumina. As the firing temperature increased, the crystal phases of monoclinic celsian, zinc aluminate, zinc silicate, calcium titanium silicate and titania appeared. And the increase of firing temperature led to transformation of hexagonal celsian to monoclinic. The only glass frit containing 15wt% PbO had the crystal phase of solid solution of $PbTiO_3-CaTiO_3$. At the frequency of 1 MHz, the dielectric constant of glass frit crystallized was in the range of 11~16 and the dielectric loss less than 0.020. But the glass frit containing 15wt% PbO had the dielectric constant of 17~26 and loss of 0.010~0.015 because of crystal phase of solid solution of $PbTiO_3-CaTiO_3$.

Crystallizable glasses with precipitation of celsian were prepared for the purpose of insulating dielectric layers for the devices such as integrated circuit substrates. Crystallization behavior of these glasses were studied by DTA, SEM, XRD analysis and by the measurement of dielectric properties. The base composition of the glass-ceramic consists in weight percent of 30% SiO2, 10% Al2O3, 26% BaO, 10% CaO, 10% ZnO, 8%TiO2 and 6% B2O3. 2-6 wt% Y2O3 were selected as the nucleating agent to promote monoclinic celsian formation. As a result, in barium-rich glasses containing 4~6wt% Y2O3 , monoclinic celsian was developed as major crystalline phase in the temperature range of 850~90$0^{\circ}C$. Also, the dielectric constant and quality factor of these glass-ceramics were about 9 and more than 1000, respectively.
