Ferroelectric PZT heterolayered thick films were fabricated by the alkoxide-based sol-gel method. PZT(20/80) and PZT(80/20) paste were made and alternately screen-printed on the alumina substrates. The coating and drying procedure was repeated 4 times to form the heterolayered thick films. The thickness of the PZT heterolayered thick films was approximately $60{\mu}m$. All PZT thick films showed the typical XRD patterns of a polycrystalline rhombohedral structure. And in the PZT thick films sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$, the pyrochlore phase was observed due to the evaporation of PbO. The relative dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the PZT thick films sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ were 445.2 and 1.90 % at 1 kHz, respectively. The remanent polarization and coercive field of the PZT thick films sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ were $14.15{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 19.13 kV/cm, respectively.

[ $(Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.3}Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ ](BSCT) thick films doped with 0.1 mol% $MnCO_3\;and\;Yb_2O_3(0.1{\sim}0.7mol%)$ were fabricated by the screen printing method on the alumina substrates. And the structural and electrical properties as a function of $Yb_2O_3$ amount were investigated. The exothermic peak was observed at around $680^{\circ}C$ due to the formation of the poly crystalline perovskite phase. The lattice constants of the BSCT thick film doped with 0.7 mol% is 0.3994 nm. The specimen doped with 0.7 mol% $Yb_2O_3$ showed dense and uniform grains with diameters of about $4.2{\mu}m$. The average thickness of all BSCT thick films was approximately $70{\mu}m$. Relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the specimen doped with 0.7 mol% $Yb_2O_3$ were 2823 and 3.4%, respectively. The Curie temperature of the BSCT thick films doped with 0.1 mol% $Yb_2O_3$ was $46^{\circ}C$.

Plasma nitriding is a surface treatment process which is increasingly used to improve wear, fatigue and corrosion resistance of industrial parts. Active screen plasma nitriding (ASPN) has both the advantages of the classic cold wall and the hot wall conventional dc plasma nitriding (DCPN) method and the parts to be nitrided are no longer directly exposed to the plasma. In this study, AS plasma nitriding has been used to nitride the UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel, AISI 304 and AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel, and AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel. Treated specimenswere characterized by means of microstructural analysis, microhardness measurements and electrochemical tests in NaCl aerated solutions. Hardness of the nitride cases of AISI 420 stainless steel by Knoop test can get up to 1300 HK0.1. From polarization tests, the corrosion current densities of AISI 420 and UNS S31803specimens ASPN at $420^{\circ}C$ were generally lower than those of their untreated substrates. The corrosion resistance of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel can be enhanced by plasma nitriding at $420^{\circ}C$ Cowing to the formation of the S-phase.

A miniature size electrostatic induction motor have been constructed and studied by applying a three phase ac power source with a maximum voltage of 5 KV and a variable frequency ranged 0.0 - 150 Hz. A maximum no load speed of the motor tested was about 7600 RPM at the applied voltage of 4330 volt and the frequency of 130 Hz for the case of the rotor surface material of polyprophylene sheet screen-printed $TiO_2$ powder on it. It is found that there are 3 different regions of the motor operation, a rotor stop region, a stable operation region and a high speed abnormal region. And it is also found that the motor speed is influenced greatly by the charge relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials, which however was changed by the means of vapour-deposited Ti or Ni and screen-printed $TiO_2$ powder on the surface of the rotor material, polyprophylene.

In this study, an oxygen plasma treatment was used as a low temperature debinding method to form a conductive copper feature on a flexible substrate using a direct printing process. To demonstrate this concept, conductive copper patterns were formed on polyimide films using a copper nanoparticle-based paste with polymeric binders and dispersing agents and a screen printing method. Thermal and oxygen plasma treatments were utilized to remove the polymeric vehicle before a sintering of copper nanoparticles. The effect of the debinding methods on the phase, microstructure and electrical conductivity of the screen-printed patterns was systematically investigated by FE-SEM, TGA, XRD and four-point probe analysis. The patterns formed using oxygen plasma debinding showed the well-developed microstructure and the superior electrical conductivity compared with those of using thermal debinding.

Ferroelectric PZT (70/30) thick films were fabricated by the screen printing method. And the PZT (30/70) precusor solution were infiltrated by the spin-coating method on the PZT thick films to obtain a densification. All PZT thick films were sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Structural properties, such as crystalline structure, microstructures and compositional ratio, of PZT thick films were investigated with the variation of the number of sol coatings using XRD, SEM and EDS, respectively. All PZT thick films exhibited a perovskite polycrystalline structure without a pyrochloer phase. The thickness of PZT thick films, 4-times screen-printed, was approximately $60{\mu}m$. And the densification of the PZT thick films increased with increasing the number of sol coatings.

We carried out the experiments for fabricating $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}Ca_{2}Cu_{3}O_{x}$(Bi2223) superconductor thick films on Cu tapes. Cu-free (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-0 powder mixtures were screen- printed on Cu tapes and heat-treated at 840-$860^{\circ}C$ for several minutes in air. Surface microstructures and phases of films were analyzed by XRD and optical microscope. The electric properties of superconducting films were examined by the four probe method. At heat-treatment temperature, the printing layers were in a partially molten state by liquid reaction between CuO in the oxidized copper tape and the precursors which were printed on Cu tapes. During the heat-treatment procedure, it is thought that Bi2223 superconducting particles nucleate at interfaces between Bi2212 phase and liquid.
