Nanosize $SiO_2$composite particles have been synthesized within reverse micelle via metal alkoxide hydrolysis and condensation. The size of the particles can be controlled by manipulating the relative rates of the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) within the microemulsion. The average size of synthesized particles was about in the size range 14~30nm. The effects of synthesis parameters, such as the molar ratio of water to TEOS, the molar ratio of water to surfactant, and the amount of base catalyst, are discussed.

In this paper, the preparation of lead zirconium titanate(PZT) thin film by sol-gel processing was descried. Thin film coated with thickness of 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ on the stainless steel substrates using the multiple spin-coating process. The crystalline phases of PZT powder and film were investigated by X-ray diffraction pattern and PZT thin film has perovskite structure over 600 C annealing temperature. Corona charging characteristics of the ferroelectric PZT thin film at 600 C were investigated by electrophotographic measurement. A difference in the charging characteristics between positive and negative corona charging was found. The charge acceptance depended in the polarity of corona and the poling of film. According to the D-E hysteresis measurment, PZT thin film can be poled by corona charging without use of top electrode. The remnant polarization in the PZT thin film is generally in the order of 48$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$. From this results, the ferroelectric PZT thin film will be possible to apply for the add-on type imaging formation.

In this study, PLZT thin films in AFE region prepared by sol-gel processing were investigated. And PLZT stock solutions were spin-coated on ITO-glass. The PLZT thin films were annealed by RTA. Hysteresis curves, dielectric characteristics and optical transmittances were measured in order to investigates the characteristics far the thin films. The PLZT thin films were crystallized at 750$^{\circ}C$ for 5 mimutes by RTA and the rosette structure composed of perovskite observed in the thin films. In case La content was 2/90/10 antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase boundary was 2/90/10 PLZT thin film, and its hysteresis curve was good for application of optical information storage.

The synthesis of titanium dioxide nanofibers with 200-300nm diameter was presented. The new inorganic-organic hybrid nanofibers were prepared by sol-gel processing and electrospinning technique using a viscous solution of titanium isopropoxide (TiP)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). Pure titanium dioxide nanofibers were obtained by high temperature calcination of the inorganic-organic composite fibers. SEM, FT-IR, and WAXD techniques were employed to characterize these nanofibers. The titanium dioxide nanostructured fibers have rougher surface and smaller diameter compare with PVAc/TiP composite nanofibers. The anatase to rutile phase transformation occurred when the calcination temperature was increased from $600^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$.

$(Pb_xLa_{1-x}) (Zr_yTi_{1-y})O_3$ (PLZT) thin films with electrooptic effect are promising for the optical application such as display or light shutter. However, it is difficult to use inexpensive and transparent glass substrates because the conventional process for preparation of PLZT requires temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$. In order to deposit a perovskite PLZT thin films at low processing temperatures through alkoxide route, we have offered several seeding processes which reduce the activation energy for crystallization. In this study, we optimized the stacking structure of multilayered PLZT for obtaining single phase perovskite at lower temperatures. As a result, ferroelectric PLZT thin films with different compositions were successfully prepared at a temperature as low at $500^{\circ}C$.

Pb(Zr, Ti)$O_3$ ferroelectric thin layers were deposited onto Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by Sol-Gel processing and annealed by RTA at $600^{\circ}C$ for $20{\sim}30\;sec$. microstructure of the films was examined by XRD and SEM analysis. Electrical properties of PZT thin films with different Zr/Ti ratio yield $P_r$ ranging $10{\sim}21{\mu}C/cm^2$, $E_c$, ranging $37.5{\sim}137.5\;kV/cm$, switching times faster than 180nsec, and leakage current about $20{\mu}A/cm^2$. The film was endured about $10^{10}$ fatigue cycles.

Barium titanate owes its great importance to the fact that its dielectric constant is about 100 times higher than that of conventional dielectric materials provided its compositional and structural purity is extremely high. The value of crystalline BaTiO3 bodies as used, for instance, in computer elements, magnetic amplifiers, memory device, ets., depend on boththe compositional and the structural purity of the BaTiO3 crystals. This purity will, in turn, depend on the purity of the raw materials used in manufacturing the BaTiO3 compound and on the particularmethods of manufacture which determine the size, homogeneity, and the structural purity of the crystals. This paper reviews the important theoretical considerations, processing techniques and applications related to sol-gel derived thin films.

The spherical silica powder was synthesized by varying the kinds of solvent and mixing energy in emulsion method. The stirring speed varied from 500 to 1000 r.p.m. at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h. Toluene in benzyl groups and a series of alkanes were used as dispersant. The average size of spherical silica particles decreased with increasing the stirring speed and the chain length o solvents used in this work. The average size was controlled in the range of 134~28$\mu\textrm{m}$ by selecting a proper solvent and stirring speed. The optimum processing parameters were described in details.

Photopolymers have been of considerable due to their easy of processing and high sensitivity. Exposure of photopolymers to optical source produce recroding mark where the light initiates a photoreaction that occurs preferentially in regions of high illumination. The photoreaction typically involves polymerization of an acrylic or epoxy monomer dispersed together with a photoinitiators in a polymeric binder. A number of photopolymerizable materials have been developed to apply them in 3D optical recording such as holographic or 3-dimensional data storage. In this presentation, photopolymers derived from sol-gel matrix and transparent polymer binder are summarized. The effect of monomer composition and plasticizers on optical recording will be discussed based on the monomer transport during the photopolymerization.
