$TiO_2-V_2O_5$ sol was fabricated using sol-gel method and $TiO_2-V_2O_5$ thin films were fabricated using dip-coating method. $V_2O_5$ sol was added 0.01mo1e, 0.03mo1e, 0.05mo1e into $TiO_2$ sol. Viscosity of sol increased fast from about 1,000 minutes and sol began gelation from about 10,000 minutes. As a results of crystalline properties, $V_2O_5$ peaks were not found despite of $V_2O_5$ addition. Endothermic reaction occurred due to evaporation of solvent and dissociation of OH at $80^{\circ}C$. Exothermic reaction occurred due to combustion and oxidation of solvent at $230^{\circ}C$, occurred to combustion and oxidation of alkyl group at $350^{\circ}C$. Thickness of thin films increased $0.1{\sim}0.25{\mu}m$ every a dipping.

ZnO 박막을 Sol-gel용액을 이용한 스핀코팅 방법으로 석영기판 위에 성장하였고 Sol-gel 용액의 온도 변화에 따른 구조적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. ZnO 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 조사하기 위해 field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), 그리고 ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy을 사용하였다. PL 분석에서 ZnO 박막은 orange 계열의 발광을 하였으며, PL spectra는 3.3 eV 부근의 near-band edge emission (NBE) 피크와 2.0 eV 부근의 deep-level emission (DLE) 피크로 이루어져있다. 모든 sol-gel 용액 온도에서, DLE 피크가 NBE 피크보다 더 우세하고 이 DLE 피크는 sol-gel 용액의 온도가 증가함에 따라 점점 증가하다가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이런 DLE 피크는 산소 공공, 아연 공공, 침입형 산소, 침입형 아연 등과 같은 결함에 의한 것이며, ZnO 박막은 sol-gel 용액의 온도에 따라 결함의 특성이 변화하였다.

Thick PZT films are required for the cases of micro actuators and sensors with high driving force, high breakdown voltage and high sensitivity, and so on. In this work, thick PZT films were fabricated by Sol-Gel multi-coating method. Total 8 types of samples using thick PZT films with thicknesses, about $1{\mu}m$ and $2{\mu}m$, and Pt top electrodes shapes for measuring transverse piezoelectric coefficient ($e_{31,f}$) were fabricated using MEMS processes. They were characterized by fabricated e31,f measurement system before and after poling. $e_{31,f}$ values of samples after poling were higher than before poling. Those of $2{\mu}m$ thick PZT films were also higher than $1{\mu}m$ thick PZT films. And those with long electrodes as top electrodes were also higher than shorter.

Optical and electrical properties were studied for Antimony doped tin oxide thin films from precursors containing 10, 30, 50, and 70 atom% of Sb deposited on bare sodalime silica, barrier layer coated sodalime silica, and pure silica glass substrates by sol-gel spinning technique. The direct band gaps were found to vary from 3.13~4.12 eV when measured in the hv range of 2.5~5.0 eV, and varied from 4.22~5.08 eV when measured in the range of 4.0~7.0 eV. Indirect band gap values were in the range of 2.35~3.11 eV. Blue shift of band gap with respect to bulk band gap and Moss-Burstein shift were observed. Physical thickness of the films decreased with the increase in % Sb. Resistivity of the films deposited on SLS substrate was in the order of $10^{-2}$ ohm cm. Sheet resistance of the films deposited on barrier layer coated soda lime silica glass substrate was found to be relatively less.

The polycrystalline mullite fiber was synthesized from various combination of starting materials including metal alkoxides and colloidal sol by the sol-gel process. The best spinnability was observed in the sol which showed shear thinning and hysteresis (i.e., thixotropic flow), indicating that the network structure was broken down as the shear rate increased. The mullite fiber was polycrystalline after firing and characterized by thermal analysis, XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, rheological measurements, and SEM.

In this study, a non-halogen type organic-inorganic hybrid flame retardant sol, which can impart flame resistance to synthesize silicate of inorganic material and silane coupling agent of organic material by a sol-gel method, were newly manufactured. The addition of flame retardant will prevent loss of life in a fire because smoke from the flammability of interior finishing materials used as the construction materials poses a major danger. The smoke density measurement standard based on flame retardant performance standards, experiments were conducted according to the test equipment and procedures of ASTM E 662. The non-flaming mode experiment and the flaming mode experiment were conducted to confirm the performance of the manufactured flame retardant sol. As a result, the manufactured flame retardant sol improved the physical properties and heat resistance of existing flame retardants, and decreased the smoke production of the fire. Therefore, it may be possible to reduce the damage caused by smoke and expand the applications to various interior finishing materials.

Low-emissivity (low-e) coatings with visible transparency have attracted increased interest m reducing heat radiation loss through window panes from ecological and sustainable aspects. $TiO_2$-silver transparent thin films for low-e have good properties for UV and IR blocking as well as photocatalyst compared to that with commercial UV blocking films such as fluorine doped oxide (FTO), antimony doped tin oxide (ATO), etc. In this study, transparent $TiO_2$-silver thin films were prepared by successive ink-jet printing of commercial nano silver and $TiO_2$ sol. The $TiO_2$ sol, as ink for ink-jet printing, were synthesized by hydrothermal process in the autoclave externally pressurized with $N_2$ gas of 200 bar at $120^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs. The synthesized $TiO_2$ sols were all formed with brookite phase and their particle size was several to 30 nm. At first nano sized silver sol was coated on glass substrate, after that $TiO_2$ sol was coated by ink-jet printing. With increasing coating thickness of $TiO_2$-silver multilayer by repeated ink-jet coating, the absorbance of UV region (under 400nm) and IR region (over 700nm) also increase reasonably, compared to that with commercial UV blocking films.

A homogeneous and stable ZnO sol was prepared by dissolving the zinc acetate dihydrate(Zn(CH$_3$COO)$_2$$.$2H$_2$O) in solution of isopropanol((CH$_3$)$_2$$.$CHOH) and monoethanolamine(MEA:H$_2$NCH$_2$CH$_2$OH). ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin-coating method and investigated for c-axis preferred orientation and physical properties with preheating temperature. The c-axis growth had a difference as increaing preheating temperature. ZnO thin film preheated at 275$^{\circ}C$ and post-heated at 650$^{\circ}C$ was highly oriented along the (002) plane. After preheating at 200∼300$^{\circ}C$ and post-heating at 650$^{\circ}C$, the transmittance of ZnO thin films by UV-vis. measurement was over 85% in visible range and exhibited absorption edges at about 370 nm. The optical band gap energy was obtained about 3.22 eV, The photoluminescence emission characteristics of ZnO thin film preheated at 275$^{\circ}C$ and post-heated at 650$^{\circ}C$ was found to orange emission(620 nm, 2.0 eV) by PL measurement, which revealed the possibility for application of inorganic photoluminescence device.

Sol-gel processing, which started some decades back as a laboratory curiosity, has proved to be a powerful and versatile technique for the synthesis of materials. The utility of the sol-gel method for producing glass and ceramic materials in the form of powders, fibers, thin films and bulk shapes with high purity, functional microstructures and potentially high chemical homogeneity at relatively low temperature (compared to conventional processing) has been discussed.

In recent years Sol-Gel processing provides an interesting alternative method for the fabrication of ferroelectric thin layers and powder. PZT powder was prepared from an alkoxide-based solution by a Sol-Gel method. Gelation of synthesized complex solutions, microstructure, thermal analysis and crystallization behaviors of the calcined powder were studied in accordance with a water content and a catalyst. Especially gelation and crystallization behavior were analysed with the change of pH. The gelation time decreased as the pH of the mixed solution increased. For PZT powder with 650.deg. C heat treatment, 100% perovskite phase was formed by using either acidic or basic catalyst. By using either acidic or basic catalyst, we were able to get very fine powders of uniform shape with an average particle size of 0.8-1.mu.m.
