Metal matrix composites had generated a lot of interest in recent times because of significant in specific properties, it was also highlighted as the material of frontier industry because strength, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant were superiored. In recent years, the study of metal matrix composite has increased by aluminum alloy. The study is based on the tribological properties of AC4CH that is a part of the mechanical property of metal matrix composites. Metal matrix composite that is produced from matrix material AC4CH and reinforcement SiO$_2$, Al$_2$O$_3$ and TiO$_2$ are added to the metal matrix composite fur strength so binding among the whisker can take place. Each metal matrix composite is produced using the squeeze casting method. To test for tribe a pin-on-disk machine and lubricant is used without paraffine 8.2CST at room temperature which is 40$\^{C}$. As the results of this study, the tribological properties of each specimen are more improved than AC4CH. The variation of coefficient resistance is more stable at the AC4CH and TiO$_2$, but the variation rates are higher at the inanimate binder.

고주파 모률에서 사용되는 기판소재는 저유전율과 낮은 loss 특성을 요구함으로 지속적인 연구를 필요로 한다. 지금까지의 ceramic/glass composite 에서 주로 사용된 ceramic filler는 Al2O3로 낮은 유전률을 구현에 한계가 있었다. Cordierite는 낮은 유전율 (${\varepsilon}_r$ < 4)을 나타내는 filler로서 그 가능성이 높지만 아직까지 보고된 결과들이 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 cordierite filler와 SiO2-B2O3-Al2O3-RO (R : Zn, Sr, Ba, Ca)계의 glass를 혼합하여 LTCC용 기판소재로서의 가능성을 확인하고자 저온 동시소성이 가능한 소결온도인 $850^{\circ}C{\sim}1.000^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 소재의 소결실험을 진행하였다. 소결온도에 따른 상변화, 유전특성을 확인한 결과 filler로 사용된 cordierite상만이 관찰 되었으며 소결조건에 따라 5.0~5.5의 낮은 유전율과 1.000~1,500의 Q를 나타내는 것을 확인 하였다.

This paper describes the machining characteristics of the MoSi$_2$--based composites through the process of electric discharge drilling with various tubular electrodes. In addition to hardness characteristics, microstructures of Nb/MoSi$_2$laminate composites were evaluated from the variation of fabricating conditions, such as preparation temperature, applied pressure, and pressure holding time. MoSi$_2$-based composites have been developed in new materials for jet engines of supersonic-speed airplanes and gas turbines for high-temperature generators. These high performance engines may require new hard materials with high strength and high temperature-resistance. Also, with the exception of grinding, traditional machining methods are not applicable to these new materials. Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a thermal process that utilizes a spark discharge to melt a conductive material. The tool electrode is almost -unloaded, because there is n direct contact between the tool electrode and the work piece. By combining a non-conducting ceramic with more conducting ceramic, it was possible to raise the electrical conductivity. From experimental results, it was found that the lamination from Nb sheet and MoSi$_2$ powder was an excellent strategy to improve hardness characteristics of monolithic MoSi$_2$. However, interfacial reaction products, like (Nb, Mo)SiO$_2$and Nb$_2$Si$_3$formed at the interface of Nb/MoSi$_2$, and increased with fabricating temperature. MoSi$_2$composites, with which a hole drilling was not possible through the conventional machining process, enhanced the capacity of ED-drilling by adding MbSi$_2$, relative to that of SiC or ZrO$_2$reinforcements.

The effect of several important processing variables was investigated on formation of porous mullite with acicular microstructure. Experimental results demonstrated that microstructure and porosity of porous mullite are depending on concentration of $AlF_3$, holding time at $900^{\circ}C$ and starting material. Acicular mullite was developed by increasing amount of $AlF_3$ and holding time at $900^{\circ}C$. Mullite began to be formed at $1200^{\circ}C$ and the resultant microstructure sintered at this temperature is similar to those at higher temperatures. Porosity increases with increase in amounts of $AlF_3$ and holding time at $900^{\circ}C$ . Therefore, it is found that microstructure of reaction-sintered porous mullite can be controlled by governing the amount of $AlF_3$ and holding time at $900^{\circ}C$.

In this study, a spherical carbon composite material containing nano-silicon was synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis, and coated with petroleum pitch to prepare an anode material to investigate the electrochemical characteristics. Hydrothermal synthesis was performed by varying molar concentration, and the pitch was coated using THF as an organic solvent to prepare a composite material. The physical properties of anode materials were analyzed using SEM, EDS, XRD and TGA, and the electrochemical performances were investigated by cycle, C-rate, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance tests in 1.0 M LiPF₆ electrolyte (EC : DMC : EMC = 1 : 1 : 1 vol%). The pitch-coated silicon/carbon composite (Pitch@Si/C-1.5) with sucrose of 1.5 M showed a spherical shape. In addition, a high initial capacity of 1756 mAh/g, a capacity retention ratio of 82% after 50 cycles, and an excellent rate characteristic of 81% at 2 C/0.1 C were confirmed.

The objective of this study was to measure the leaching of filler (Si, Ba) from nanofiller-contained composites (Palfique Estelite $sigma^{{R}}$ (Tokuyama Dental Corp., Tokyo, Japan), $Z-350^{{R}}$ (3M ESPE, USA), Ceram X duo $E3^{{R}}$, $D3^{{R}}$ (Dentsply, Konstanz, Germany)) under different conditions. The samples used for the study of leachable components were made by insertion of the material into a circular mold, 10 mm in diameter and 3.0 mm high. Each specimen was placed in a disposable polystyrene vial containing 5 mL of distilled water, artificial saliva or 0.1N NaOH and kept in an oven at $37^{\circ}C$. ; water and artificial saliva - 150 days, 0.1N NaOH - 15days. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) was used to determine the amount of Si and Ba in the test solutions. 1. Filler leaching was significantly great in 0.1N NaOH among all samples(p<.0.001). 2. When samples were stored in the distilled water, Estelite showed the lowest amount of Si leaching. When samples were stored in the artificial saliva, Z-350 showed the lowest amount of Si leaching. 3. There were significant differences in filler leaching between 3 storage medias and composite resins(p<.0.001). 4. Si and Ba leaching occurred in greater proportion when samples were stored in the artificial saliva than distilled water. 5. There were significant interactions in monthly filler leaching between leaching in artificial saliva and in distilled water, as well as the interaction between storage medium and filler(p<.0001). These results indicate that a continuous filler leaching of nanofiller-contained composite resins was in storing aqueous solutions under over time.

The use of resin composites has continued to increase over the last several years. In spite of their growing popularity, composites continue to exhibit a number of undesirable characteristics. One of the major deficiencies of composite restorative resins is their inadequate resistance to wear. Of the multitude of factors that have been associated with wear, subsurface degradation within the restoration is considered to be one. The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance to degradation of four commercial composite resins in an alkaline solution. This solution with a high concentration of hydroxyl ions is a convenient medium for accelerated degradation of silane coupling and filler particles. The brands studies were Definite($Degussa-H\ddot{u}ls$ AG, Germany), Prodigy(Kerr, USA), Pyramid(Bisco, USA) and Synergy(Coltene, Swiss). Preweighed discs of each brand were exposed to 0.1N NaOH solution at $60^{\circ}C$. After 14 days they were removed, neutralized with HCl, washed with water and dried. Resistance to degradation was evaluated on the basis of following parameters : (a) mass loss(%)-determined from pre-and post-exposed specimen weights : (b) Si loss(ppm)-obtained from ICP-AE analysis of solution exposed to specimens; and (c) degradation $depth({\mu}m)$-measured microscopically (SEM) from polished circular sections of exposed specimens. The results were follows: 1. Mass loss of Synergy was $1.24{\pm}0.002%$, it was the highest, there was no significant difference among the materials. 2. The degree of degradation layer depth of Synergy was $107.83{\pm}2.52{\mu}m$, it was the highest, there was no significant difference among any other materials than Synergy. 3. There was no difference among the four materials in Si loss. 4. The correlation coefficient between mass loss and degradation depth was relatively high(r=0.06, p<0.05). 5. There was no coefficient correlation between Si loss and mass loss, the degree of degradation layer depth and Si loss. 6. When observed with SEM, destruction of bonding is observed between resin matrix and filler.

Particle reinforced composites are materials that have enhanced physical properties by adding particle reinforcements to polymer materials and have been applied to a wide range of fields such as the aerospace, bio-technology and automative industry. In this study, particle reinforced composites were prepared by mixing $SiC/Al_2O_3$ to the vinyl ester as the thermoset resin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mechanical properties and fracture behavior by the tensile test and single edge notch specimen according to the addition ratio of reinforcement. Addition of 1 and 2 wt% of the particle reinforcement to the vinyl-ester resin was effective for the strength improvement. However, when it was more than 3 wt%, its strength was decreased. Also the highest elastic modulus obtained as 3.19 GPa was found at the 2 wt% addition of reinforcement. Futhermore the fracture toughness was evaluated by the energy release rate and the maximum critical energy release rate was obtained when 1 wt% reinforcement. The results show that the limit of adding of $SiC/Al_2O_3$ for improvement of the mechanical and fracture performance is 2 wt% reinforcement particles.
