The 0.6Ba(Zn$_{1}$3/Ta$_{2}$3/)O$_3$-0.4Ba(Co$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_3$ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties of the 0.6BZT-0.4BCN ceramics with the sintering temperature were investigated by XRD, SEM. The 0.6BZT-0.4BCN ceramics had a complex-perovskite structure. Increasing the sintering temperature, the peak intensity of the superstructure reflection plane were increased and the density and ordering were increased. The density of the 0.6BZT-0.4BCN ceramics sintered at 1475$^{\circ}C$ was 6.455[g/cm$^3$].

The humidity controlling ceramic materials was developed by applying the phenomena of dew condensation in the capillary. It is said that the humidity range which human feels comfortable is from 40 to 70% in relative humidity. In this study, the ceramic tile using natural soils such as diatomite for interior wall was investigated. In particular, we had introduced novel processing routes for fabricating microcellular ceramics tile using hollow microsphere as a pore former. The microcellular pores in the humidity controlling ceramic materials showed the superior properties such as light-weight, heat insulation. The cell density was ${\sim}1.0{\times}10^9$ cells/$cm^3$ and density of sample was 0.65 g/$cm^3$ in the case of 1.71 wt% hollow microsphere content. Also, it is observed that the BET surface area and the pore volume of the sintered diatomite tile have the values of 40.92 $m^2$/g and 0.173 $cm^3$/g.

The electrical properties and stability of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-based$ varistors were investigated for different $Tb_4O_{11}$ amounts in the range of $0{\sim}1.0\;mol%$. As the $Tb_4O_{11}$ amount increased, the sintered density increased in the range of $99.1{\sim}101.1%$ of theoretical density and the average grain size decreased in the range of $7.7{\sim}4.8{\mu}m$. The varistor voltage increased in the range of $280.9{\sim}715.8V/mm$ and the nonlinear coefficient increased in the range of $26.4{\sim}44.4$ with the increased of $Tb_4O_{11}$ amount. The 0.25 mol% $Tb_4O_{11}$-doped varistors exhibited the high electrical stability, with -0.1% in variation rate of varistor voltage, -0.7% in variation rate of nonlinear coefficient, and +17.4% in variation rate of leakage current for specified dc accelerated aging stress of $0.95V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24h$.

Ti-37.5at%Si elemental powder mixtures were mechanically alloyed by a high-energy ball mill, followed by CIP (cold isostatic pressing) and HIP (hot isostatic pressing) for different processing conditions. Only elemental phases (Ti and Si) were observed for the 5 min mechanically alloyed (MA 5 min) powder, but only $Ti_5Si_3$phase was observed for the 30 min mechanically alloyed (MA 30 min) powder. $Ti_5Si_3$phase was observed for the HIPed compact of MA 5 min and 30 min powders at 150 and 190 MPa for 3 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$. For the HIPed compacts, the highest sintered density was obtained to be 99.5% of theoretical density by a HIP step at $1350^{\circ}C$ at 190MPa for 3hr. The hardness values of the HIPed $Ti_5Si_3$compacts at $1350^{\circ}C$ at 150/190 MPa for 3hr were higher than HRC 76. The densification and mechanical property of HIPed $Ti_5Si_3$compacts was found to depend on more HIP temperature than HIP pressure.

The effects of $Gd_2O_3$ addition and sintering condition on optical and electrical properties of MgO films as a protective layer for AC plasma display panels were investigated. Doped MgO films prepared by the e-beam evaporation have a higher ${\Upsilon}$ (secondary electron emission coefficient) than pure MgO protective layer. Relative density and grain size increased with amount of $Gd_2O_3$ up to 100 ppm and then decreased further addition. These results showed that discharge properties and optical properties of MgO protective layers seemed to be closely related with microstructure factors such as relative density and grain size. Good optical and electrical properties of ${\Upsilon}$ of 0.138, surface roughness of 5.77 nm and optical transmittance of 95.76 % were obtained for the MgO+100 ppm $Gd_2O_3$ protective layer sintered at $1700^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs.

High-density lead zirconate titanate(Pb(Zr$\_$0.53/Ti$\_$0.47/)O$_3$, PZT) ceramics were fabricated by a new milling-precipitation(MP) process improved from the conventional solid state process. This process was progressed by a milling impregnation through mixing ZrO$_2$ and TiO$_2$ powders with lead nitrate(Pb(NO$_3$)$_2$) water solution in zirconia ball media, and then milling precipitation was induced from precipitation of PbC$_2$O$_4$ by adding ammonium of oxalate monohydrate((NH$_4$)$_2$C$_2$O$_4$$.$H$_2$O) as a precipitant. As a result of this process, single-phase perovskite structure was formed at the calcination temperature of 750$\^{C}$ for Pb(Zr$\_$0.53/Ti$\_$0.47/)O$_3$ powders. In addition, the highest density at the sintering temperature of 1100$\^{C}$ was obtained, because of the highly sinterable PZT Powders ground through the re-milling process. Piezoelectric and dielectric properties of sintered sample were improved by MP process.

In this study,. the microwave dielectric properties of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics with sintering temperature were investigated for LTCC application. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns, the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics had columbite structure of the $TiTe_3O_8$ phase and scheelite structure of the $CaWO_4$ phase. Increasing the sintering temperature, the bulk density, the dielectric constant and the quality factor of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics were increased. In the case of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics sintered at $810^{\circ}C$, the bulk density, the dielectric constant and the quality factor were 5.72$g/cm^2$, 33.6, 22,013GHz respectively.

In this study, the fabrication of ultra fine grained Mo bulk was conducted. $MoO_3$ nanopowders were prepared by a high energy ball-milling process and then reduced at the temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ without holding time in $H_2$ atmosphere. The particle size of Mo nanopowder was ~150 nm and grain size was ~40 nm. The two-step process was employed for the sintering of Mo nanopowder to obtain fine grain size. The densification over 90% could be obtained by the two-step sintering with a grain size of less than 660 nm. For higher density, modified two-step sintering was designed. 95% of theoretical density with the grain size of 730 nm was obtained by the modified two-step sintering.

To improve the mechanical properties of aluminum, graphene has been used as a reinforcing material, yielding graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (GRAMCs). Dispersion of graphene materials is an important factor that affects the properties of GRAMCs, which are mainly manufactured by mechanical mixing methods such as ball milling. However, the use of only mechanical mixing process is limited to achieve homogeneous dispersion of graphene. To overcome this problem, in this study, we have prepared composite materials by coating aluminum particles with graphene by a self-assembly reaction using poly vinylalcohol and ethylene diamine as coupling agents. The scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results confirm the coating of graphene on the Al surface. Bulk density of the sintered composites by spark plasma sintering achieved a relative density of over 99% up to 0.5 wt.% graphene oxide content.
