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.

The effect of x on microwave dielectric properties of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-x(TiO_2,\;CaTiO_3,\;SrTiO_3)$ ceramics for microwave components were investigated. All spcecimens prepared by the conventional mixed oxied method and sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$. Microwave dielectric properties of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-xTiO_2$ ceramics were influenced by $MgTi_2O_5$ phase. Also the microwave dielectric properties of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-x(TiO_2,\;CaTiO_3,\;SrTiO_3)$ ceramics were dominated with an addition of $CaTiO_3\;and\;SrTiO_3$. The dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_r)$, quality factor $(Q{\times}f_r)$ and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency $(TCRF,\;\tau_f)$ of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-x(TiO_2,\;CaTiO_3,\;SrTiO_3)$ ceramics were $12.96\sim70.98,\;5,132\sim186,410GHZ$ and $-35.82\sim+75.96ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively, and depend on x and addition materials.

The $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayered thick films were fabricated on alumina substrate by screening printing method. The obtained films were sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ with bottom electrode of Pt for 2 hours. The structural and electrical properties of $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayered thick films were compared with pure $BaTiO_3$ and $SrTiO_3$ films. The (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ phase was appeared at the $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayered thick films. The thickness of $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayered thick film, obtained by one printing, was about $50{\mu}m$. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayered thick films were about 1964, 5.5% at 1KHz, respectively.

A series of catalysts, $NiO/La_2O_3-ZrO_2/WO_3$, for acid catalysis was prepared by the precipitation and impregnation methods. For the $NiO/La_2O_3-ZrO_2/WO_3$ samples, no diffraction lines of nickel oxide were observed, indicating good dispersion of nickel oxide on the catalyst surface. The catalyst was amorphous to X-ray diffraction up to 300 ${^{\circ}C}$ of calcination temperature, but the tetragonal phase of $ZrO_2$ and monoclinic phase of $WO_3$ by the calcination temperatures from 400 ${^{\circ}C}$ to 700 ${^{\circ}C}$ were observed. The role of $La_2O_3$ in the catalyst was to form a thermally stable solid solution with zirconia and consequently to give high surface area and acidity. The high acid strength and high acidity were responsible for the W=O bond nature of complex formed by the modification of $ZrO_2$ with $WO_3$. For 2-propanol dehydration the catalyst calcined at 400 ${^{\circ}C}$ exhibited the highest catalytic activity, while for cumene dealkylation the catalyst calcined at 600 ${^{\circ}C}$ showed the highest catalytic activity. 25-$NiO/5-La_2O_3-ZrO_2/15-WO_3$ exhibited maximum catalytic activities for two reactions due to the effects of $WO_3$ modifying and $La_2O_3$ doping.

An objective of this study is to compare the characteristics of coating layer of plasma sprayed fine $Al_2O_3$ and those of layer by commercial $Al_2O_3$(Metco 105). The microstructure of fine $Al_2O_3$ coating layer was denser compared with commercial $Al_2O_3$ coating layer. The surface roughness$(R_a)$ of the layer by the fine $Al_2$O$_3$ was lower compared with that of commercial $Al_2O_3$. Thickness of splat for fine $Al_2O_3$ was $1.4\mu\textrm{m}$ while the commercial $Al_2O_3$ was $3.53\mu\textrm{m}$. The main phase existing in coating layer was of $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ and the fraction of $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ in fine $Al_2O_3$ coating layer was 8.39% and that of commercial $Al_2O_3$ was 13.79%. Microhardness was no great difference between the fine and commercial $Al_2O_3$ but deviation of the fine $Al_2O_3$ coating layer was relatively large. Accordingly, the strength of splat of the coating was expected that fine $Al_2O_3$was lower than commercial $Al_2O_3$ powder.

In the composition of $Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$ the effect of particle size on PbO vaporization were measured, . The initial step of discontinuous vaporization of unreated PbO during the calcining process was depended on the particle size. All additives $La_2O_3Nb_2O_5$ and $Al_2O_3$ inhibited the grain growth of the composition $Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$ +2wt% excess PbO. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the composition $Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$ were improved by the addition of 2wt% excess PbO and proper additive. The electromechanical planar coupling factor of 0.65 and mechnical quality factor of 390 could be obtained by adding 5wt% $Nb_2O_5$ to the composition 2wt% excess PbO+$Pb(Mg_{0.15} W_{0.15})Ti_{0.35}-Zr_{0.35}O_3$.

The synthesis and characterization of ${K_3[Ru(C_2O_4)3]{\cdot}4H_2O\;(C_2O_4}^{2-}$ = oxalato anoin) complex are described, and its redox properties (in buffer solution of pH = 12) have been investigated. This complex is used for in situ generation of oxoruthenates complexes which have been characterized by electronic spectroscopy. Reaction of ${K_3[Ru(C_2O_4)3]{\cdot}4H_2O$ with excess ${S_2O_8}^{2-}$ in molar KOH generates trans-${[RuO_3(OH)_2]^{2-}/S_2O_8}^{2-}$ reagent while with excess ${BrO_3}^-$ in molar $Na_2CO_3$ generates ${[RuO_4]^-/BrO_3}^-$ reagent. Avoiding the direct use of [$RuO_4$] the organic-soluble $(n-Pr_4N)^+[RuO_4]^-$, (TPAP) has been isolated by reaction of $K_3[Ru(C_2O_4)3]{\cdot}4H_2O$ with excess ${BrO_3}^-$ in molar carbonate and n-$Pr_4$NOH. In a mixture of $H_2O/CCl_4$ ruthenium tetraoxide can be generated by reaction of $K_3[Ru(C_2O_4)3]{\cdot}4H_2O$ with excess ${IO_4}^-$. The catalytic activities of oxoruthenates that have been made from $K_3[Ru(C_2O_4)3]{\cdot}4H_2O$ towards the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, piperonyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzyl amine at room temperature have been studied.

ex-AUC U$O_{2}$ 분말과 $Gd_{2}$O_{3}$ 분말을 기계적으로 혼합하여 소결한 U$O_{2}$-$Gd_{2}$O_{3}$ 소결체의 밀도 변화와 재소결 후 밀도변화를 기공크기 및 분포의 변화로 서술하였다. 수소분위기에서 175$0^{\circ}C$, 4시간 동안 소결하였을 때, 순수 U$O_{2}$의 소결밀도는 97.2% T.D.였으나 6wt% $Gd_{2}$O_{3}$ 첨가까지는 U$O_{2}$-$Gd_{2}$O_{3}$의 소결밀도는 $U^{+4}$와 $Gd^{+4}$의 상호확산 때문에 약 90% T.D.로 급격히 감소하였다. 그러나 6wt% 이상의 $Gd_{2}$O_{3}$가 첨가되면 우라늄이온 산화아와 산소침입으로 인하여 소결밀도는 오히려 증가하였다. 1$700^{\circ}C$에서 재소결시킬 때 순수 U$O_{2}$ 소결체에서는 재소결 시간에 따라 밀도증가가 발생하였다. U$O_{2}$-$Gd_{2}$O_{3}$ 소결체 경우에는 재소결시 밀도가 감소하였으나 재소결 시간이 증가함에 따라 다시 밀도는 증가하였고, 6wt%$Gd_{2}$O_{3}$가 첨가된 U$O_{2}$-$Gd_{2}$O_{3}$ 소결체에서 밀도가 가장 많이 감소하였다.

The melting temperature and critical temperature (Tc) of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox with deferent content impurities of PbO and BaPbO$_3$ were studied. When the PbO was used as addition in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox, although the melting point could be reduced, the superconductivity (the transition wide, ΔTc) became poor. From the XRD pattern of the sintered mixture of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox and PbO it was known that there is a reaction between YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox and PbO, and the product is BaPbO$_3$. In the process of the reaction the superconducting phase of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox was decreased and in the sample BaPbO$_3$became the main phase. Therefore the superconductivity was reduced. BaPbO$_3$was chosen as the impurity for the comparative study. The single phase BaPbO$_3$was synthesized by the simple way from both mixtures of BaPbO$_3$and PbO, BaPbO$_3$and PbO$_2$. Deferent contents of BaPbO$_3$(10%, 20%, 30%) were added in the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox. By the phase analysis in the XRD patterns it was proved that there were not reactions between YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox and BaPbO$_3$. When BaPbO$_3$was used as impurity in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox the superconductivity was much better than PbO as impurity in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox But the melting point of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox with BaPbO$_3$could not be found when the temperature was lower than 1000 $^{\circ}C$ in the DTA measurement.
