Hi-Nicalon SiC fiber reinforced SiC composites (SiC/SiC) have been fabricated by the reaction sintering process. Braided Hi-Nicalon SiC fiber with double interphases of BN and SiC was used in this composite system. The microstructures and the mechanical properties of reaction sintered SiC/SiC composites were investigated through means of electron microscopies (SEM, TEM, EDS) and bending tests. The matrix morphology of reaction sintered SiC/SiC composites was composed of the SiC phases that the composition of the silicon and the carbon is different. The TEM analysis showed that the residual silicon and the unreacted carbon were finely distributed in the matrix region of reaction sintered SiC/SiC composites. Reaction sintered SiC/SiC composites also represented proper flexural strength and fracture energy, accompanying the noncatastrophic failure behavior.

The spinel/cubic stabilized zirconia composites were fabricated via, The reaction sintering of monoclinic zirco-nia(baddeleyite) added with MgAl powder. During heating Mg and Al were oxidizedfirst and subsequently the oxides formed spinel (MgAl2O4) and finally remained MgO stabilized the zirconia, Because the oxides formed during the oxidation process would have very fine grain size (order of submicron) mainly due to the effects of attrition milling the reaction sintering was more effective in densification and improvement of strength and fracture toughness than conventional sintering with direct addition of MgO. The sintering behavior phase transformation during firing and mechanical properties of sintered body were investigated with emphasis on the relations between spinel formation due to MgAl addition and sintering and mechanical properties.

${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism in Si melt-C-SiC system with varying in size of carbon source was investigated. A continuous reaction sintering process using Si melt infiltration method was adopted to control the reaction sintering time effectively. It was found that ${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism in Si melt-C-SiC system was directly affected by the size of carbon source. In the Si melt-C-SiC system with large carbon source ${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism could be divided into two stages depending on the reaction sintering time: in early stage of reaction sintering carbon dissolution in Si melt and precipitation of ${\beta}$-SiC was occurred preferentially and then SIC nucleation and growth was controlled by diffusion of carbon throughy the ${\beta}$-SiC layer formed on graphite particle. Furthmore a dissolution rate of graphite particles in Si melt could be accelerated by the infiltration of Si melt through basal plane of graphite crystalline.

In this study, copper (II) oxide was prepared for use in a copper electroplating solution. Copper chloride powder and copper (II) oxide are widely used as raw materials for electroplating. Copper (II) oxide was synthesized in this study using a two-step chemical reaction. Herein, we developed a method for the preparation of copper (II) oxide without the use of sintering. In the first step, copper carbonate was prepared without sintering, and then copper (II) oxide was synthesized without sintering using sodium hydroxide. The optimum amount of sodium hydroxide used for this process was 120 g and the optimum reaction temperature was $120^{\circ}C$ regardless of the starting material.

In this study, Ti powder was fabricated from Ti scrap by a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) method. The Ti powders were compacted by Spark plasma sintering (SPS) and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the powders were investigated. A hydrogenation reaction of Ti scrap occurred at temperatures near $450^{\circ}C$ with a sudden increase in the reaction temperature and a decrease in the pressure of the hydrogen gas as measured in a furnace during the hydrogenation process. In addition, a dehydrogenation process was carried out at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs in a vacuum of $10^{-4}torr$. The Ti powder sizes obtained by hydrogenation-dehydrogenation and mechanical milling processes were in the range of $1{\sim}90{\mu}m$ and $1{\sim}100{\mu}m$, respectively. To fabricate Ti compacts, Ti powders were sintered under an applied uniaxial punch pressure of 40 MPa at in a range of $900{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. The relative density of a SPSed compact was 99.6% at $1100^{\circ}C$, and the tensile strength decreased with an increase in the sintering temperature. However, the hardness increased as the sintering temperature increased.

A rapid cooling (quenching) step has been introduced in fabrication of TiO₂ photoelectrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The quenching process, studied at a fixed sintering temperature, decreased particle size but increased surface roughness without any substantial change in the crystal structure or oxidation state of TiO₂ films. Therefore, the change in the DSSC performance induced by the quenching was related closely to the microstructural and morphological changes in the TiO₂ films. Smaller particle size and the rough surface of TiO₂ films facilitated dye adsorption and increased the number of active reaction sites. In particular, the enlarged number of active reaction sites produced by the quenching process promoted the charge transfer reaction at the TiO₂-dye-electrolyte interface, resulting in overall performance improvement of DSSCs. The conversion efficiency of the furnace cooled- and quenched-TiO₂ films at 500 ℃ were 4.588% and 5.797%, respectively.

We studied the effect of sol-gel processing and sintering temperature on the microwave properties of $MgCo_2(VO_4)_2$ system(MCV) which is applicable to LTCC(low-temperature cofired ceramics). The MCV was synthesized by sol-gel process using solution that contains precursor molecules for Mg, Co, and V. SEM analysis shows that the average particle size is ${\sim}1{\mu}m$ and size distribution is very uniform compared to the one prepared by conventional solid-state reaction process. Highly dense samples were obtained at the sintering temperature range of $750^{\circ}C{\sim}930^{\circ}C$. The maximum $Q{\times}f_0$ value of 55,700GHz, dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) of 10.41 and temperature coefficient(${\tau}_f$) of $-85ppm/^{\circ}C$ was obtained at the sintering temperature of $930^{\circ}C$. The superior microwave properties of sol-gel processed MCV relative to conventional solid-state reaction processed one is remarkable especially at lower sintering temperatures such as $750^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$.

A cost-effective route to synthesize $\beta$-SiAlONs from Si mixtures by reaction bonding followed by post-sintering was investigated. Three different z values, 0.45, 0.92 and 1.87, in $Si_{6-z}Al_zO_zN_{8-z}$ without excess liquid phase were selected to elucidate the mechanism of SiAlON formation and densification. For RBSN (reaction-bonded silicon nitride) specimens prior to post-sintering, nitridation rates of more than 90% were achieved by multistep heating to $1400^{\circ}C$ in flowing 5%$H_2$/95%$N_2$; residual Si was not detected by XRD analysis. An increase in density was acquired with increasing z values in post-sintered specimens, and this tendency was explained by the presence of higher amounts of transient liquid phase at larger z values. Measured z values from the synthesized $\beta$-SiAlONs were similar to the values calculated for the starting compositions. Slight deviations in z values between measurements and calculations were rationalized by a reasonable application of the characteristics of the nitriding and post-sintering processes.

Cordierite ceramics were fabricated via a reaction sintering process using ceramics-filled polysiloxane as a precursor for cordierite ceramics. In this study, the effects of the additive composition, additive content, and sintering temperature on the sintered density and compressive strength of cordierite ceramics have been investigated The sintered densities of reaction-sintered cordierite ceramics containing $TiO_2$ as an additive were insensitive to the additive composition, additive content, and sintering temperature and ranged from $1.92g/cm^3\;to\;2.06g/cm^3$. In contrast, the cordierite ceramics containing $Y_2O_3$ showed a maximal density of $2.21g/cm^3$ at 5 wt% addition and at a sintering temperature of $1400^{\circ}C$. The compressive strength of cordierite ceramics showed the same tendency with the density. Typical compressive strength of cordierite ceramics containing 5 wt% $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering additive and sintered at $1400^{\circ}C\;was\;{\sim}480MPa$.

반응소결공정(RSP : Reaction Sintering Process)을 이용하여 YF댸₃와 Fe₂O₃의 성분에 소결첨가재 Bi₂O₃를 첨가하여 YIG를 합성하였다. Bi₂O₃첨가량과 소결온도에 따른 YIG 소결체의 미세구조 및 자기적 특성변화에 대해 주사전자현미경, X-선 회절분석기 및 시료 진동형 자력계를 이용하여 조사하였다. 소량의 소결첨가재 Bi₂O₃첨가시 YIG 소결체의 격자상수는 12.387에서 12.420 Å으로 증가하였다. 이는 상대적으로 이온반경이 큰 Bi 이온이 12면체 Y 이온 자리로 치환되었기 때문인 것으로 여겨진다. Bi₂O₃를 1.0 wt% 첨가하였을 때 비교적 균질한 미세구조를 보였으며, 1350℃에서 소결한 YIG의 밀도가 이론밀도의 98% 이상의 치밀화를 보였다. Bi₂O₃가 0.0 wt%에서 1.5 wt%로 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 상온에서의 포화자화값(M/sub s/)은 조금씩 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 큰 변화는 없었다. 반응소결공정을 이용 YIG 소결시 소결첨가제 Bi₂O₃가 1.0 wt%이고, 소결온도 1350℃에서 비교적 우수한 소결특성과 자기특성을 가지는 YIG 소결체를 얻을 수 있었다.
