Characteristics of Al-based composites with waste stainless steel short fiber, fabricated by magnetic pulsed compaction and sintering were investigated. The compacts prepared by magnetic pulsed compaction showed high relative density and homogeneous microstructure compared with that by conventional press compaction. The relative density of sintered composites at $430^{\circ}C$ for 1 h exhibited the same value with compacts and decreased with increase in STS short fiber content. The reaction between Al and STS phase was confirmed by the microstructural analysis using EDS. The sintered composites, prepared by magnetic pulsed compaction, showed increased hardness value with increasing STS fiber content. Maximum yield strength of 100 MPa and tensile strength of 232 MPa were registered in the AI-based composite with 30 vol% STS short fiber.

Nanoparticles of PbTe are prepared via chemical reaction of the equimolar aqueous solutions of $Pb(CH_3COO)_2$ and Te at $120^{\circ}C$. The size of the obtained particles is 100 nm after calcination in a hydrogen atmosphere. Dense specimens for the thermoelectric characterization are produced by spark plasma sintering of prepared powders at $400^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$ under 80 MPa for 5 min. The relative densities of the prepared specimens reach approximately 97% and are identified as cubic based on X-ray diffraction analyses. The thermoelectric properties are evaluated between $100^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$ via electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity. Compared with PbTe ingot, the reduction of the thermal conductivities by more than 30% is verified via phonon scattering at the grain boundaries, which thus contributes to the increase in the figure of merit.

A highly reliable conductive adhesive obtained by transient liquid-phase sintering (TLPS) technologies is studied for use in high-power device packaging. TLPS involves the low-temperature reaction of a low-melting metal or alloy with a high-melting metal or alloy to form a reacted metal matrix. For a TLPS material (consisting of Ag-coated Cu, a Sn96.5-Ag3.0-Cu0.5 solder, and a volatile fluxing resin) used herein, the melting temperature of the metal matrix exceeds the bonding temperature. After bonding of the TLPS material, a unique melting peak of TLPS is observed at 356 ℃, consistent with the transient behavior of Ag₃Sn + Cu₆Sn₅ → liquid + Cu₃Sn reported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The TLPS material shows superior thermal conductivity as compared with other commercially available Ag pastes under the same specimen preparation conditions. In conclusion, the TLPS material can be a promising candidate for a highly reliable conductive adhesive in power device packaging because remelting of the SAC305 solder, which is widely used in conventional power modules, is not observed.

The attrition-milled powder mixtures of Al and Al2O3 were oxidized below 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr and post-sintered at 150$0^{\circ}C$ and 1$600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. During attrition milling, ZrO2 was added to the system by grinding effect of ZrO2 balls. The average particle size of the powder mixtures was decreased by the attrition milling as the aluminum content decrease. Above 120$0^{\circ}C$, sintering behaviro was observed on the fine Al2O3 particles resulted from the oxidation of Al. The specimens heat-treated at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr showed the bending strength of 166 MPa and hardness of 220 MPa. The specimens post-sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$ for 2hr had a linear shrinkage of 9~12% and a relative density of about 95%. After the post-sintering, the specimens having 55 vol% Al content revealed the bending strength of 513 MPa and hardness of 718 MPa. The Weibull modulus to the bending strength was about 16.

The low temperature sintering and the dielectric properties of $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$-zinc borosilicate glass composites were investigated in the view of the application for LTCC. When the sintering was conducted at $900^{\circ}C$ $ZnAl_2O_4$ and $ZnB_2O_4$ compounds formed at the $Al_2O_3$-rich and the $SiO_2$-rich compositions, respectively. The reaction between ZBS glass and $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ caused the formation of these compounds. The $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ ratio affected the dielectric properties. The excellent dielectric properties, i.e., Q$\times$f value= 40,000 GHz and ${\varepsilon}_r$=4.5, were obtained in the $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$-ZBS glass system and fabricated the LTCC substrate materials.

Sintering behavior and microstructure development in the system ZnO-Bi2O3-CoO-Zn7Sb2O12 with Zn7Sb2O12 content(0.1mol%~2mol%) were studied. The pyrochlore phase was formed by the reaction of the Zn7Sb2O12 with Bi2O3 phase during heating (below 90$0^{\circ}C$). The formation temperature of the liquid phase (Bi2O3) was dependent on the Zn7Sb2O12 contents (about 74$0^{\circ}C$ for Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12>1 by the eutectic melting in the ZnOBi2O3 system, and about 110$0^{\circ}C$ for Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12 1 by the decomposition of pyrochlore phase). Hence, sintering behavior and microstructure development were determined virtually by the Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12 ratio, which were promoted by liquid (Bi2O3) phase and retarded by the pyrochlore (or spinel) phase. The grain growth of ZnO during sintering was sluggish with increasing Zn7Sb2O12 contents.

An optimum route to fabricate oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic superalloy with desired microstructure was investigated. Two methods of high energy ball milling or polymeric additive solution route for developing a uniform dispersion of $Y_2O_3$ particles in Fe-Cr-Al-Ti alloy powders were compared on the basis of the resulting microstructures. Microstructural observation revealed that the crystalline size of Fe decreased with increases in milling time, to values of about 15-20 nm, and that an FeCr alloy phase was formed. SEM and TEM analyses of the alloy powders fabricated by solution route using yttrium nitrate and polyvinyl alcohol showed that the nano-sized Y-oxide particles were well distributed in the Fe based alloy powders. The prepared powders were sintered at 1000 and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in vacuum. The sintered specimen with heat treatment before spark plasma sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed a more homogeneous microstructure. In the case of sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$, the alloys exhibited densified microstructure and the formation of large reaction phases due to oxidation of Al.

The consolidation of mechanical alloyed $Ti_5Si_3$ powder by electro-discharge-sintering has been investigated. A single pulse of 2.5 to 8.0 kJ/0.34 g was applied to each powder mixture using 300 and $450{\mu}F$ capacitors. A bulk-like solid with $Ti_5Si_3$ phase has been successfully fabricated by the discharge with an input energy of more than 2.5 kJ in less than $160{\mu}sec$. Micro-Vickers hardness was found to be higher than 1350, which is significantly higher than that of a conventional high temperature sintered sample. The formation of $Ti_5Si_3$ and consolidation occurred through a fast solid state diffusion reaction.

Cooperative effects of Rh, Ce and Zr added to Fe-based oxide mediums were investigated using temperature programmed redox reaction (TPR/TPO) and isothermal redox reaction in the view point of hydrogen storage and release. As the results of TPR/TPO, Rh was a sale additive to remarkably promote the redox reaction on the medium as evidenced by the lower highest peak temperature, even though its addition was to accelerate deactivation of the mediums due to sintering. On the other hand, Ce and Zr additives played an important role to suppress deactivation of the medium in repeated redox cycles. The medium co-added by Rh, Ce and Zr (FRCZ) exhibited synergistic performance in the repeated isothermal redox reaction, and the amount of hydrogen produced in the water splitting step at 623 K was highly maintained at ca. $17\;mmol{\cdot}g^{-1}-Fe$ during three repeated redox cycles.

From alumina powder and TEOS, $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder for reaction-sintered mullite was synthesized by heterogeneous coagulation and surface coating, and investigated the mullitization reaction and sintering behavor of these powders. In $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder prepared by heterogeneous coagulation, each alumina particles were surrounded by silica particles of 50~60 nm in size. And the alumina particles in composite powder prepared by surface coating were coated by uniform silica layer with thickness of 50 nm. In both methods, mullitization reaction was completed at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 3h, and specimen sintered above 145$0^{\circ}C$ was about 95% fo the theoretical relative density. Mullite grains formed from the reaction with composite powders showed spherical shape with a size of 1~2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.
