We produced the glass beads using a spherical vessel which is rotable with the mix ture of releasing agent and glass powder in a electric furnace (apparatus 1), a tubing apparatus of electric furnace which can be gravitated a cullet (apparatus 2) and a tubing apparatus which is dispersible glass powders with the flame of propane gas (apparatus 3). The substrates which are Korean sodium silicates glass 1, 2, boro silicates glass and lead silicates glass are used and the size of cullets is 60-300 mesh. In the results of experimental apparatus, the preferable temperature of apparatus 1 is 880$^{\circ}C$, apparatus 2 is 980$^{\circ}C$ and apparatus 3 is 1100$^{\circ}C$. However, the method of apparatus 3 is more effective than the methods of apparatus 1 and 2 in view of treating time and rate of adhesion.

The buildings constructed with steel structure are coated with certified fire resistive material to resist from fire. All the building materials lose their initial performances as time passes by, so they need some maintenance. The Sprayed Fire Resistive Material (SFRM) also loses its performance and this performance loss of the SFRM is very important because fire resistance of buildings depends on SFRM. So this study was aimed to synthesis of alkali-silicates for SFRM and to evaluate the effect of alkali-silicates, K-silicates, Na-silicates and Li-silicates, by exchange of mole ratios as basic factors, tested solubility, intumescence ratios, thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, fire-resistant and heat-resistant.

SiC/SiC_f CMC is vulnerable to water vapor corrosion at a high temperature of 1500℃. So, EBC (Environmental Barrier Coating) materials are required to protect Si-based CMCs. Ytterbium silicates are reported to have coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) similar to that of the base material, such as SiC/SiC_f CMC. When the EBC are materials exposed to high temperature environment, the interface between ytterbium silicates and SiC/SiC_f CMC is not separated, and the coating purpose can be safely achieved. For the perspective of EBC applications, thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer with different CTE is formed by the reaction with water vapor in EBC, which leads to a decrease in life time. In this study, we prepare two types of ytterbium silicates to observe the corrosion behavior during the expose to high temperature and water vapor. In order to observe this behavior, the steam-jet furnace is prepared. In addition, phase formation of these ytterbium silicates is analyzed with microstructures by the before/after steam-jet evaluation at 1500℃ for 100 h.

High flexible lightweight composites containing tobermorite as a main mineral is produced using various amorphous silicates, lime, cement and fibers. Here, Mechanical properties of the composites were studied by observing microstructures of hydrates and fibers. Amorphous silicates having better hydraulicity retarded the crystallization of tobermorite due to better formation of C-S-H gel in water bath curing, but, difficult conversion from C-S-H gel to tobermorite in hydrothermal reaction. In the low molar ratio of CaO/SiO2 (0.67), faster crystalization was observed dued to more impurities such as Al2O3 alkali, resulting in improving mechanical properties due to small crystal size and many contact points. It was identified that a lot of calcium silicate hydates formed at surface of pulps increase bonding strength and the crack-resistance of matrix in the composites, but decrease hardness and compressive strength. The choice of amorpous silicates having better hydraulicity, low CaO/SiO2 adding each fibers bellow about 5% in the raw mixs and lower molding pressure should be needed at improve mechanical properties of composites.

For the purpose of improving the fluidity of enteric-coated powders, various mineral silicates were added during spray drying process. Aqueous slurries of cimetidine, mineral silicates containing CMEC (carboxy methyl ethyl cellulose) were spray dried using a centrifugal wheel atomizer. The finely agglomerated powders obtained by this process were flowing as opposed to the original powders. The effect of four mineral silicates (colloidal silica, talc, bentonite, and kaolin) on the micromeritic properties and dissolution profiles of spray dried agglomerates were examined.

Various kinds of amorphous silicates were used as raw materials to synthesize building materials based on calcium silicate hydrates. Relationships between the reactivities of silicates and castabilities of the building materials were investigated. In addition, effects of the reactivities of silicates on the mechanical properties of casted specimens were studied by analyzing microstructures and hydrates produced. As the reactivity of silicate increase, the press castability increases and the crystal size of hydrate and pore size also increase. For the mechanical properties, the flexural strength increases with decreasing crystal size and densifing microstructure. The compressive strength is greatly dependent on the den-sification of microstructure rather than crystal size of hydrate. Based on the results, diatomous ma-terials are desirable due to high reactivity and formation of densified microstructure. Slag and fly ash may be partially used as raw materials with amorphous silicates to manufacture building materials based on calcium silicate hydrates.

We report a facile method for preparing KIT-1 mesoporous silicates with two different macroporous structures by dual templating. As a template for macropores, polystyrene (PS) beads are assembled into uniform three dimensional arrays by ice templating, i.e., by growing ice crystals during the freezing process of the particle suspension. Then, the polymeric templates are directly introduced into the precursor-gel solution with cationic surfactants for templating the mesopores, which is followed by hydrothermal crystallization and calcination. Later, by burning out the PS beads and the surfactants, KIT-1 mesoporous silicates with macropores are produced in a powder form. The macroporous structures of the silicates can be controlled by changing the amount of EDTANa4 salt under the same templating conditions using the PS beads and inverse-opal or hollow structures can be obtained. This strategy to prepare mesoporous powders with controllable macrostructures is potentially useful for various applications especially those dealing with bulky molecules such as, catalysis, separation, drug carriers and environmental adsorbents.

Environmental barrier coatings(EBCs) are applied to the SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites(CMCs) in order to protect CMCs from being corroded with water vapor by combustion gas in gas turbine engines. Ytterbium silicates, such as ytterbium monosilicate and ytterbium disilicate, are ones of the candidate materials for EBCs due to their excellent resistance to water vapor corrosion as well as thermal-expansion match with SiC. In this study, ytterbium silicates are fabricated with 2-step solid-state synthesis targeting ytterbium disilicate. After synthesizing ytterbium monosilicate, the mixtures of ytterbium monosilicate and SiO₂ are heat-treated and densified by using pressureless sintering or hot pressing with a variety of heating conditions. The phase formation, thermal expansion, and oxidation behavior are examined with fabricated specimens. The final densified bodies are found to be composites between ytterbium monosilicate and ytterbium disilicate with different ratios, which results in 4.43 to 6.72×10^-6/K range of coefficients of thermal expansion. The probability of these ytterbium silicates for EBC applications is also discussed.

The influences of some factors on the variation of compression strength of $CO_2$ process were investigated with an attention given to use of high $SiO_2\;/Na_2O$ silicate, addition of organics and gassing operation. 1) Higher ratio binder offers faster rates of hardening with lower $CO_2$ consumption requiring more concentration for a good strength development. A mixture containing 4 percent of 2.7:1 ratio silicate produces the strength above $8kg\;/\;cm^2$ after 80 seconds gassing, but 5% and 6% respectively of 3.0:1 and3.3:1 ratio silicate are necessary to achieve equivalent levels of strength. 2) The correct water content in sand mixtures containing higher ratio silicates is necessary for the better strength properties to be obtained. The addition of 1% water to the sand mixtures bonded with 5%,3:1 ratio and 6%,3.3:1 ratio silicates maintains near-maximum strength on extended gassing. 3) When higher ratio silicates with 3:1 and 3.3:1 ratios are used,the addition of organic additives such as oil, sucrose and polyol results in considerable changes in strength. The presence of 1.0 to 1.5 percent of polyol produces a noticiable improvement 4) Gas diluted with air raises the efficiency of gas utilization. When gas contains 50 percent $CO_2$, the efficience is significantly increased with the best strength in the silicates having high ratios of 3:1 and 3.3:1. 5) The strength of molds is liable to change on storage with the reduction in water content. The magnitude of the strength change is determinded with the mole ratio. The presence of polyol in the mixture with 3.3:1 ratio silicate has a pronounced effect on maintaining the gassed strength.

차세대 CMOS 소자의 지속적인 고직접화를 위해서는 높은 gate capacitance와 낮은 gate leakage current를 확보를 위한, 적절한 metal gate electrode와 high-k dielectric 물질의 개발이 필수적으로 요구된다. 특히, gate dielectric으로 적용하기 위한 다양한 high-k dielectric 물질 후보군 중에서, 높은 dielectric constant와, 낮은 leakage current, 그리고 Si과의 우수한 열적 안정성을 가지는 Zr silicates 또는 Hf silicates(ZrSiO4와 HfSiO4) 물질이 높은 관심을 받고 있으며, 이를 원자층 증착법을 통해 구현하기 위한 노력들이 있어왔다. 그러나, 현재까지 보고된 원자층 증착법을 이용한 Zr silicates 및 Hf silicates 공정의 경우, 개별적인 Zr(또는 Hf)과 Si precursor를 이용하여 ZrO2(또는 HfO2)과 SiO2를 반복적으로 증착하는 방식으로 Zr silicates 또는 Hf silicates를 형성하고 있어, 전체 공정이 매우 복잡해지는 문제점 뿐 아니라, gate dielectric 내에서 Zr과 Si의 국부적인 조성 불균일성을 야기하여, 제작된 소자의 신뢰성을 떨어뜨리는 문제점을 나타내왔다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여, 하나의 precursor에 Zr (또는 Hf)과 Si 원소를 동시에 가지고 있는 DNS-Zr과 DNS-Hf bimetallic precursor를 이용하여 새로운 ZrSiO4와 HfSiO4 ALD 공정을 개발하고, 그 특성을 살펴보고자 하였다. H2O와 O3을 reactant로 사용한 원자층 증착법 공정을 통하여, Zr:Si 또는 Hf:Si의 화학양론적 비율이 항상 일정한 ZrSiO4와 HfSiO4 박막을 형성할 수 있었으며, 이들의 전기적 특성 평가를 진행하였으며, dielectric constant 및 leakage current 측면에서 우수한 특성을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, bimetallic 전구체를 이용한 ALD 공정은 차세대 고성능 논리회로의 게이트 유전물질에 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
