Fe-TiC composite powder was fabricated by high-energy milling of powder mixture of (Fe, TiC) and (FeO, $TiH_2$, C) as starting materials, respectively. The latter one was heat-treated for reaction synthesis of TiC phase after milling. Both powders were spark-plasma sintered at various temperatures of $680-1070^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. with sintering pressure of 70 MPa and the heating rate of $50^{\circ}C/min$. under vacuum of 0.133 Pa. Density and hardness of the sintered compact was investigated. Fe-TiC composite fabricated from (FeO, $TiH_2$, C) as starting materials showed better sintered properties. It seems to be resulted from ultra-fine TiC particle size and its uniform distribution in Fe-matrix compared to the simply mixed (Fe, TiC) powder.

LAS (lithium aluminosilicate) sol was synthesized using the hydrolysis-condensation reaction of TEOS, chelated Al(OBus)3 and LiNO3 with H2O in alcohol (ethanol+2-propanol) medium. Lowering Li content by a factor of 1/2 significantly enhanced densification and retarded the crystallization of LAS gel by ~30$0^{\circ}C$. Dense LAS specimen with essentially pore-free microstructure was obtained by sintering the sol-gel derived gel at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 h and annealing at 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Similary, a mixed colloidal processing was attempted as a convenient, alternative route for the fabrication of dense LAS sintered body. The $\beta$-spodumene seeding (~0.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) in the sol-gel derived LAS modified the sequence of phase transformations and lowered the temperature of crystallization by ~12$0^{\circ}C$. Combining the epitaxial seeding with the sol-gel process, we could lower the crystallization temperature to the sintering temperature range (~80$0^{\circ}C$) and, demonstrate a possibility of making the viscous sintering/crystallization as a continuous as a continuous unit process.

We synthesized lithium zirconate using solid-state reaction and analyzed thermal properties (TG/DTA) of starting materials and the synthesized one. When $Li_2ZrO_3$ powder was exposed to $CO_2$ environment at $500^{\circ}C$, 93% of the theoretical absorption weight was gained within 280 min with fairly high sorption rate. Almost all the absorbed $CO_2$ was generated by heating the sample to $800^{\circ}C$. We also investigated densification behavior of $Li_2ZrO_3$ under $CO_2$ environment. By sintering $Li_2ZrO_3$ at $760^{\circ}C$ using 2-step process, we obtained dense product, composed mainly of $Li_2ZrO_3\;and\;ZrO_2$, with relative density of 92%.

Clinically-favored materials for bone regeneration are mainly based on bioceramics due to their chemical similarity to the mineral phase of bone. A successful scaffold in bone regeneration should have a 3D interconnected pore structure with the proper biodegradability, biocompatibility, bioactivity, and mechanical property. The pore architecture and mechanical properties mainly dependent on the fabrication process. Bioceramics scaffolds are fabricated by polymer sponge method, freeze drying, and melt molding process in general. However, these typical processes have some shortcomings in both the structure and interconnectivity of pores and in controlling the mechanical stability. To overcome this limitation, the rapid prototyping (RP) technique have newly proposed. Researchers have suggested RP system in fabricating bioceramics scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration using selective laser sintering, powder printing with an organic binder to form green bodies prior to sintering. Meanwhile, sintering process in high temperature leads to bad cost performance, unexpected crystallization, unstable mechanical property, and low bio-functional performance. The development of RP process without high thermal treatment is especially important to enhance biofunctional performance of scaffold. The purpose of this study is development of new process to fabricate ceramic scaffold at room temperature. The structural properties of the scaffolds were analyzed by XRD, FE-SEM and TEM studies. The biological performance of the scaffolds was also evaluated by monitoring the cellular activity.

Silicon carbide materials undergo an oxidation reaction in a high-temperature oxidizing environment and show different characteristics depending on the test temperature and time. In particular, the added oxides form a secondary phase within the sintering process and exhibit different oxidation characteristics depending on the added sintering materials. Therefore, to evaluate the oxidation characteristics, the weight of the test piece and the thickness of the oxidation layer were observed, and the structure and oxidation characteristics of the material were analyzed using SEM. SEM observation showed that an oxide layer was formed on the surface of the liquid sintered silicon carbide material after it was oxidized at 1200 ℃, 1300 ℃, and 1400 ℃ for 10 hours, respectively. Then, a bending test was performed at each temperature on the test piece with the oxidation layer formed to evaluate the change in flexural strength. The strength was 466.6 MPa at 1200 ℃, 363.1 MPa at 1300 ℃, and 350.8 MPa at 1400 ℃. Al₂O₃-SiO₂ oxidized at 1200 ℃ for 10 hours showed an increase in strength of about 21.0 MPa compared to the data before the oxidation test.

Si 기판위에 Ba2YCu3O7-$\delta$ 고온초전도체를 응용하기 위해 요구되는 buffer층으로 유망한 재료인 LaAlO3 단일상 분말을 고상반응법과 자발착한 연소반응법으로 제조하였다. 제조된 LaAlO3 분말의 입자형태와 결정상태는 scanning electron microscope (SEM)과 X-ray diffractometer (XRD)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분말의 비표면적과 소결특성은 각각 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) 방법과 dilatometer를 측정하였다. 고상반응법으로 LaAlO3 분말을 제조할 때에는 하소온도를 150$0^{\circ}C$까지 높게 하여도 단일상을 얻는 것이 어려웠으나 자발착한 연소반응법에 의한 분말제조는 $650^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 하소하여도 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. Dilatometer 측정을 통하여 분석해 보면, 고상반응법에 의한 분말보다 자발착한 연소반응법에 의한 분말로 제조된 소결체가 고상반응법에 의한 소결체에 비해 1.4배나 큰 소멸밀도(98.87%)를 가졌다. 이렇게 소결밀도에서 큰 차이가 나는 것은 자발착한 연소방법에 의한 분말의 평균 입자크기가 nano crystal size이고 비표면적 값(56.54 $m^2$/g)이 매우 크기 때문이다. 두가지 방법으로 제조된 분말을 이용, LaAlO3 layer를 스크린 프린팅과 소결법으로 Si 기판상에 제조하였으며 자발착한 연소합성법으로 제조된 분말은 110$0^{\circ}C$에서 우수한 소결특성을 나타내었다.

For the present study two alumina bodies were prepared. The sinter-aid alumina body(SAA) was made by conventional sinter-process using sintering additives of TiO2 & MgO/CaO and the reaction-bonded alumina (RBA) made from Al-Al2O3 mixed powder. A comparison was made between those two bodies and this investigation seeks to evaluate their microstructure, physical properties and material's reliability as well as their fracture behaviour. In spite of its considerable microstructural densification accompanied by sintering shrinkage, SAA is largely inferior to RBA in fracture strength. However, SAA shows a somewhat higher m-value than RBA in respect to the material's reliability, the Weibull modulus(m). RBA, which has high fracture strength, shows much longer lifetime under static loading than SAA. Though, as with m of fracture strength, the reliability(mt) of lifetime prediction in RBA is less high than of SAA.

This study aims to manufacture non-sintering cement(NSC) by adding phosphogypsum(PG) and waste lime(WL) to granulated blast furnace slag(GBFS) as sulfate and alkali activators. This study also investigates the basic physical properties and hydration reaction of NSC, and evaluates its reusing possibility as construction material. Results obtained from this study have shown that GBFS was affected by $So_4^{2-}$ in waste PG and stimuli under wet condition, left slag components, created Ettringite and CSH gels, and eventually started being hydrated. These hydrated creations formed dense structures like CSH based on Ettringite and contributed in allowing the mortar to reveal high strength.

The reaction bonded alumina ceramics was prepared through the addition of each SiC and ZrO2 powder to the mixture of Al metal powder and Al2O3 The mono sized (3mm) and biodal sized (3mm+5mm) balls were used in attrition milling of Al and starting powders. The milling efficiency of both cases was compared by the analysis of particle size and X-ray diffraction. After the forming and sintering of each powder batchs the weight gains dimensional changes and densities were determined. The specimens were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscope. Bimodal sized balls had better milling effect than single ball size in the milling of Al powder. However in the milling which ceramic powders mono sized the green body during the reaction sintering at 1$600^{\circ}C$ for 5 hour was about 10% The densities attained the values of 92-98% theoretical. The SiC added specimen that was milled with 3mm ball media had 96% theoretical density and dense microstructure.

For the preparation of SiC composite, the properties of reaction sintering in the SiC-C-Si-Ti system with the titanium contents variation were investigated. Either the case of titanium additions or the case of direct infiltration of titanium in SiC+C preform, the newly formed fine-grained $\beta$-SiC, which was reacted from the molten silicon with graphite, was intergranulated between the original $\alpha$-SiC particles. Also titanium disilicide (TiSi2) was discontinuously formed isolated pocket in silicon matrix. The amount of titanium disilicide was gradually increased as titanium content increase. With the results of hardness and fracture toughness measurement, SiC-titanium disilicide (TiSi2) composite represented high properties compared with the system of the infiltrated pure silicon.
