Beta-sialon powder(Z=1) was synthesized by the simultaeous reduction and nitridation of the mixed powders of Hadong kaolin and silica. Silicon hydroxide was prepared from Si-alkoxide by a hydrolysis method and amorphous silica was obtained from the calcination of the prepared silicon hydroxide. Hadong kaolin was mixed with both the silicon hydroxide and amorphous silica, respectively. The average particle size was 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the morphology of particle was rod-like and equiaxed in the case of beta-sialon powder prepared form Hadong kaolin and silicon hydroxide(COMPOSITION A), whereas the average particle size was 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the morphology of particle was equiaxed in the case of beta-sialon powder prepared from Hadong kaolin and amorphous silica(COMPOSITION B). The synthesized beta-sialon powders were hot-pressed at 175$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours under 30 MPa in a nitrogen atmosphere after YAG composition(8wt%) was added to these powders as a sintering agent. The hot-pressed specimens were annealed a 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere. The mechanical properties of sintered bodies were investigated in terms of M.O.R., fracture toughness and hardness. The measured values are as follows. COMPOSITION A : M.O.R. 508MPa, KIC 3.5MN/m3/2, hardness 13.6GPa. COMPOSITION B : M.O.R. 653MPa, KIC 5.4MN/m3/2, hardness 13.5GPa.

Alumina tubes suitable for the support of gas separation membranes have been prepared by the slipcasting technique. These supports have the average pore size of 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ within the narrow distribution. The sol-gel dipcoating process of nanoparticulate sols is very sensitive to microstructure of the support, and the coating on the inside surface of the tube is found to be more successful than on the outside surface. Nanoparticulate silica sols (0.82 mol/ι) have been synthesized by an interfacial hydrolysis reaction between TEOS and high alkaline water. When coating an alumina tube with these sols, the minimum limits of the particle size and the aging time required for forming the coated gel layer at the given pH are provided. It is optimum to coat the support with less concentrated sols stabilized through aging for the appropriate time (more than 22 days) at the lower pH (pH 2.0) for producing a reproducible crack free thin film coating in composite membranes.

Triple layers structure of $SiO_2$/ZnS:Mn/ZnS was synthesized by using ion substitution and chemical precipitation method. Each layer thickness was controlled by adjusting the concentration of manganese (II) acetate ($Mn(CH_3COO)_2$) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The structure and morphology of prepared phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microscopic analyzer (EPMA). Photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnS with different layer thickness and amount of Mn activator were analyzed by PL spectrometer. PL emission intensity and PL stability were analyzed for evaluating effects of Mn activator.

Silica membranes with high permeability were prepared using colloidal and polymeric silica sols on a porous stainless steel-tube support by a DRFF and SRFF method. Silica sols were derived with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) by sol-gel method and analyzed with DLS, FE-SEM, and $N_2$ adsorption. The coating of the intermediate layer with colloidal silica sol on the stainless steel-tube support led to a denser surface morphology of the membrane along with a considerable reduction in the number of surface defect. As the polymeric silica sol enclosed the colloidal silica sol with spherical particles during the SRFF method, the separation-layer-coated silica membrane showed a denser surface than the intermediate layer. Moreover, the silica membranes showed high hydrogen gas permeability of $(6.63-9.21){\times}10^{-5}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}{\cdot}Pa^{-1}$ with low $H_2/N_2$ perm-selectivity (2.9-3.1) at room temperatures.

Silica(SiO2) nanoparticles are used as additives in plastics and rubbers to improve mechanical, electrical, magnetic properties and optical material. Silica nanoparticles were synthesized by the gas phase thermal oxidation of several kinds of precursors in many types of reactor. Diffusion flame reactor has some advantages compared with other types of reactors. In this study, we investigated the generation of silica nanoparticles on the effect of residence time by tetraethylothosilicate(TEOS) in a turbulent diffusion flame reactor controlled by providing reactant flowrate and reactor geometry affect particle morphology, particle size and particle size distribution. To determine the flame residence time, flame length should be determined which was examined by ICCD image. Particle size, distribution and morphology were performed with TEM.

The hollow $SiO_2$ spheres with uniform size were synthesized by a modified Stober method under the control of polyelectrolytes (PSS and PAA) as templates. This synthetic route includes the formation of spherical colloid micelle in ethanol solution, hydrolysis of TEOS under control of ammonia, and the removal of polyelectrolyte by washing or calcination. Hollow silica spheres with controllable core diameters between 100 and 270 nm and wall thickness between 15 and 50 nm have been synthesized. The influence of template solution concentration and solvent and dispersant on the formation of silica hollow spheres is studied and reported in detail.

A new proton conductive inorganic-organic hybrid membrane doped with $H_3PO_4$ was fabricated via sol-gel process wit 3- glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(GPTMS), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES) and tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) asprecursors. Theproto conductivity of about 3.0$\times10^{-3}S/cm$ was obtained at $120^{\circ}C$ under $50\%$ relative humidity (R.H). DTA curves showed that the thermal stability of the membrane is significantly enhanced by the presence of $SiO_2$ framework up to $250^{\circ}C$. SEM and XRD revealed that the gel is microporou and amorphous. The addition of APTES improved the conductivity of the membranes and the effect of the APTES on the conductivity was also discussed in this paper.

The effect of DCCA (Drying Control Chemical Additives) on the drying of gel was investigated in order to determine an optimum drying condition of mullite precursor through sol-gel process. Aluminium sec-butoxide was synthesized from aluminium foil and then mullite powders were synthesized from Tetra-ethyl-ortho-silicate (TEOS) and the aluminium sec-butoxide. N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF), Glycerol, 1, 4-Dioxane, and Oxalic acid were used as DCCA. Mullite powders that were calcined at 200, 900, 1100, and $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2hr were analysed by XRD, TG-DTA, FT-IR, and SEM in order to investigate structural change and characteristics of calcined powders. The results of this work showed that the drying time of gel was reduced to about half in the presence of 0.1mol DMF compared with the absence of DCCA and also calcined powders were obtained without remarkable structural change despite of the addition of DCCA.

Polysilazane and silazane-based precursor films were deposited on stacked TiN/Ti/TEOS/Si-substrate by spin-coating, then annealed at $150{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, integrated further to form the top electrode and pad, and finally characterized. The precursor solutions were composed of 20% perhydro-polysilazane ($SiH_2NH$)n, and 20% hydropolymethyl silazane ($SiHCH_3NH$)n in dibutyl ether. Annealing of the precursor films led to the compositional change of the two chemicals into silicon (di)oxides, which was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra. It is thought that the different results that were obtained originated from the fact that the two precursors, despite having the same synthetic route and annealing conditions, had different chemical properties. Electrical measurement indicated that under 0.6MV/cm, a larger capacitance of $2.776{\times}10^{-11}$ F and a lower leakage current of 0.4 pA were obtained from the polysilazane-based dielectric films, as compared to $9.457{\times}10^{-12}$ F and 2.4 pA from the silazane-based film, thus producing a higher dielectric constant of 5.48 compared to 3.96. FTIR indicated that these superior electrical properties are directly correlated to the amount of Si-O bonds and the improved chemical bonding structures of the spin-on dielectric films, which were derived from a precursor without C. The chemical properties of the precursor films affected both the formation and the electrical properties of the spin-on dielectric film.

The co-precipitation technique has been applied to synthesize biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). $Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, TEOS and $Mg(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ as the starting materials was used. After the heat treatment of powder crystalline phases HAp and ${\beta}$-TCP analysis showed a mixed phase. The overall spectra appear to have mainly two modes corresponding to characteristic $PO^{3-}_4$ and $OH^-$ groups. After immersion in Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) for 1 week a precipitation started to be formed with individual small granules on the specimen surface. An MTT assay indicated that ionic substituted BCP powders had no cytotoxic effects on MG-63 cells, and that they have good biocompatibility.
