Reaction kinetics for the solid - state reaction of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$with amorphous $SiO_2$to produce mullite ($3Al_2O_3;{cdot};2SiO_2$) was studied in the temperature range of 1450~$1480^{\circ}C$. Rate of kinetic reaction were determined by using $SiO_2$- coated $Al_2O_3$ compact containing 28.16 wt.% $SiO_2$and heating the reactant mixtures in MgO at definite temperature for various times. Amount of products and unreacted reactants were determined by X-ray diffractometry. Data from the volume fraction and ratio of peak intensities of mullite indicated that the reaction of ${\alpha}-;Al_2O_3$ with $SiO_2$to form $3Al_2O_3\;{\cdot}\;2SiO_2$ start between 1450 and $1480^{\circ}C$. The activation energy for solid-state reaction was determined by using the Arrhenius equation; The activation energy was 31.9 kJ/mol.

Nanomaterials have been widely used in many fields. This study investigates the effects of metal oxide nanoparticles (CuO, NiO, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$, ZnO) on germination and germination index (G.I.) of seeds, Lactuca and Raphanus. Under aqueous exposure, CuO on Lactuca shows the most significant impacts on activities compared to others, showing $EC_{50s}$ for germination and G.I. as 0.46 mg/L and 0.37%, respectively. The effects of nanoparticle phytotoxicity on seed Lactuca was much higher than that of Raphanus. In general, the toxicities on seed germination and germination index were as following orders : CuO > ZnO > NiO ${\gg}$ $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$. No measurable inhibition was observed at 1,000 mg/L (maximum exposure concentration) of $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$.

According to the phase diagram, 6Bi2O3.GeO2 composition melts congruently at 93$0^{\circ}C$ and forms a stable ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystal phase below the melting point. But when the melt of this composition was cooled at a rate 1-15$0^{\circ}C$/min without tapping by a glass rod or impurity addition, a metastable $\delta$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystal phase was formed. It is due to that as the nucleation energy barrier of $\delta$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals, which have more open and defective structure, is lower than that of ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals. When impurities or ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals existed in the melt, stable ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystal phase was formed at various cooling rate. It is because of that the impurities or the ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals role as a seed crystal and as a result the nucleation energy barrier of ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals is lowered.

The sintering phenomena and piezoelectric properties of PZT ceramics of composition $Pb(Zr_{0.54} Ti_{0.46})O_3$ were investigated when a small quantity of $La_2O_3$ , $LaMnO_3$, $LaCrO_3$ were added. The unwanted chemical composition change in PZT during sinterin porces du to PbO evaporation poses a severe problem in PZt manufacturinig. It is observed tat an addition of small amount of $LaMnO_3$ to PZT markedly decreases the evaporation of PbO during sintering . The green compact of (1-x) PZT.xLaMnO3(x=0.02~0.10) could be sintered of under O2 atmosphere alone with no significant loss of PbO. The planar coupling factor kp of the sintered $0.98Pb(Zr_{0.54} Ti_{0.46})O_{3.0.02}LaMnO}3$ is similar to that of commercial PZT 6A. Microstructure investigation shows that part of sintering process of $Pb(Zr, Ti)O_3$.$LaMnO_3$ system progresses via liquid phase sintering. It is believed that the evaporation of PbO in PZT sintering is restricted by the addition of $LaMnO_3$ due to the above phenomena. Furthermore the solid solution of $LaMnO_3$ in PZT causes diffuses phase transition.

The effects of 0 to 6 mol% excess 91PbO-9WO3 addition on the microstructure and the dielectric pro-perties in 40Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-30PbTiO3-30Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 ternary system were investigated. Excess 91PbO-9WO3 addition enhanced densification at relatively lower temperature due to the formation of liquid phase. The dielectric constant of the specimen with standard composition was 16,400 and that of specimen with 1 mol% excess additive was the maximum of 18,500. And more than 2 mol% excess addition decreased dielec-tric constant. Specimens with 2~4 mol% 91PbO-9WO3 addition showed dual peak maxima in the tem-perature dependence of dielectric constant. In the specimens which have more than 5 mol% excess addition a new phase with W-rich composition was formed at grain boundary.

Low temperature sintering of Co$_2$Z type Ba ferrites with various oxide additives has been studied. Co$_2$Z phase was obtained by 2 step calcination and XRD peaks showed a good agreement with the peaks of the standard Co$_2$Z phase, except for some minor extra peaks. ZnO-B$_2$O$_3$ glass, ZnO-B$_2$O$_3$ and CuO, ZnO-B$_2$O$_3$ and Bi$_2$O$_3$, and ZnO-Bi$_2$O$_3$ glass were added to lower sintering temperatures. Specimens were sintered at the temperature range between 900 $^{\circ}C$ and 1000 $^{\circ}C$. In the single addition of ZnO-B$_2$O$_3$ glass, the specimen with 7.5 wt％ showed the highest shrinkage. Specimens with complex addition of ZnO-B$_2$O$_3$ glass with CuO or Bi$_2$O$_3$ showed higher shrinkages and initial permeabilities than single addition of ZnO-B$_2$O$_3$ glass. Shrinkages and initial permeabilities of the specimens with ZnO-Bi$_2$O$_3$ glass were higher than those of ZnO-B$_2$O$_3$ glass addition.

Strong solid acid catalysts, NiO/Al2O3-TiO2/WO3 for ethylene dimerization were prepared by the addition of Al2O3 and the modification with WO3. The acid sites and acid strength were increased by the inductive effect of WO3 species bonded to the surface of catalysts. The larger the dispersed WO3 amount, the higher both the acidity and catalytic activity for ethylene dimerization. The addition of Al2O3 to TiO2 up to 5 mol% enhanced acidity and catalytic activity gradually due to the interaction between Al2O3 and TiO2 and consequent formation of Al-O-Ti bond.

Instead of a solution process producing amorphous $LiV_3O_8$ form, we prepared Lithium vanadate glass by melting $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ and $Li_2O-P_2O_5-Bi_2O_3-V_2O_5$ composition in pt. crucible and by quenching on the copper plate. From the crystallization of $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ and $Li_2O-P_2O_5-Bi_2O_3-V_2O_5$, we could abtain glass-ceramics having crystal phase, LiV3O8 from glass matrix. The material heat-treated at lower-temperature, $250^{\circ}C$ had less crystalline and lower capacity, But the material heat-treadted at higher-temperature, $330^{\circ}C$ had higher capacity and $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ glass-ceramics had higher capacity than $Li_2O-P_2O_5-Bi_2O_3-V_2O_5$ glass-ceramics.

The partial substitution of LiTaO3 with Al2O3 caused the variation of dielectric properties and a lower melting temperature yielding an easier growth of single crystal. The lattice constants and Raman band broadening were measured for the LiTaO3 solid solution in which the cations of Li+ and Ta5+ were partially substituted by Al3+ cation. The LiTaO3 type limit phases were obtained. ; Li1.15Al0.45Ta0.7O3 for cationic excess Li1.15Al0.45Ta0.7O3 for stoichiometry Li0.85Al0.05TaO3 for cationic deficit. The second phase was formed beyond the solubility limit. The limit phase (Li0.85Al0.05TaO3) in the region of cationic deficit showed the lowest Cuire temperature of 61$0^{\circ}C$ and melting point of 152$0^{\circ}C$ compared to the solid solutions in other regions (TMp=1$650^{\circ}C$, Tc=69$0^{\circ}C$ for LiTaO3)

When $Al_2O_3-MoO_3$ mixture is reduced, $MoO_3$ is only reduced to Mo at $900^{\circ}C$. But a compound between $Al_2O_3$ and Mo is not formed up to $1300^{\circ}C$. In the case of $Al_2O_3-MoO_3-MnO_2$ mixture, an intermediate compound $Mn_2Mo_3O_8$ is firstly formed at $900^{\circ}C$ and changes to $MnAl_2O_4$ at $1100^{\circ}C{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$. $Al_2O_3/Mo/MnO_2$ composite are manufactured by a selective reduction process in which Mo is only reduced in the powder mixture of $Al_2O_3,\;MoO_3\;and\;MnO_2$ oxide. For $Al_2O_3/Mo$ composite, the average grain size was not changed with increasing Mo content because of inhibition of grain growth of $Al_2O_3$ matrix in the presence of Mo particles. Fracture strength increased with increasing Mo content due to phenomenon of grain growth inhibition of $Al_2O_3$ matrix. Hardness decreased because of a lower hardness value of Mo, whereas fracture toughness increased. For $Al_2O_3,\;Mo\;and\;MnO_2$ composite, grain growth was facilitated by MnOB and it showed a lower fracture strength because of grain growth effect with increasing Mo and $MnO_2$ content. Hardness decreased because of the grain growth of matrix and coalesced Mo particles to be located in grain boundary, whereas fracture toughness increased.
