Aqueous solutions of metallic salts, ZrO(NO3)2.2H2O and Y(NO3)3.5H2O were used as raw materials to synthesize crystalline submicron spherical powders of Zr0.94Y0.06O1.97 with tetragonal crystal phase. Each aqueous solution was mixed on the magnetic stirrer to homogenize for 12 hours. The concentration of the mixed solutionwas changed from 0.01mol/$\ell$ to 0.1mol/$\ell$ calculated as the concentration of Zr0.94Y0.06O1.97. Ultrafine droplets of starting mixed solution were sprayed by the ultrasonic vibrator and carried into the furnace kept at 55$0^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$, 75$0^{\circ}C$ and 85$0^{\circ}C$ using carrier gas of air (10$\ell$/min) and pyrolysed to form Y-TZP fine powders. The results of this exeriment were as follows. 1) Synthesized powders were nonagglomerated and spherical type. 2) Particle size distribution was narrow between 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. 3) Forming reaction Y-TZP was finished above synthetic temperature 75$0^{\circ}C$. 4) As the synthetic temperature rised from 55$0^{\circ}C$ to 85$0^{\circ}C$, the mean particle size decreased from 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 0.22${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in the concentration of starting solution with 0.02mol/$\ell$. 5) At 75$0^{\circ}C$ of synthetic temperature, the concentration changes of starting solution from 0.01mol/$\ell$ to 0.1mol/$\ell$ increased the mean particle size from 0.24${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 0.38${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. 6) Chemical compositions of each synthesized particle were homogeneous nearly.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adhesive luting on the fracture resistance of zirconia compared to that of a composite resin and a lithium disilicate glass ceramic. Materials and Methods: The specimens (dimension: $2mm{\times}2mm{\times}25mm$) of the composite resin, lithium disilicate glass ceramic, and yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) were prepared. These were then divided into nine groups: three non-luting groups, three non-adhesive luting groups, and three adhesive luting groups, for each restorative material. In the non-luting groups, specimens were placed on the bovine tooth without any luting agents. In the non-adhesive luting groups, only zinc phosphate cement was used for luting the specimen to the bovine tooth. In the adhesive luting groups, specimens were pretreated, and the adhesive luting procedure was performed using a self-adhesive resin cement. For all the groups, a flexural test was performed using universal testing machine, in which the fracture resistance was measured by recording the force at which the specimen was fractured. Results: The fracture resistance after adhesive luting increased by approximately 29% in the case of the composite resin, 26% in the case of the lithium disilicate glass ceramic, and only 2% in the case of Y-TZP as compared to non-adhesive luting. Conclusions: The fracture resistance of Y-TZP did not increased significantly after adhesive luting as compared to that of the composite resin and the lithium disilicate glass ceramic.

In 2Y-TZP powders calcined at temperature range of 80$0^{\circ}C$0 to 150$0^{\circ}C$, the effect of stabilization and the transformability of tetragonal phase on the tetragonal to monoclinic transformation have been investigated. The transformability of tetragonal phase in calcined powders shows maximum at the calcination temperature of 130$0^{\circ}C$. This result is explained by a combined effect of the increase of particle size and of constrained force among the particles with increasing the calcination temperature. The amount of transformed monoclinic phase with calcination temperature after quenching in liquid nitrogen, stress induction and isothermal aging at 25$0^{\circ}C$is also explained by the transformability of tetragonal phase determined by the sum of particle size effect and constraint effect.

Feasibility of 3Y-TZP for dental implant abutment was evaluated under the Hertzian cyclic fatigue by examining the extent of the indentation damage and strength degradation. Fatigue test was conducted at contact loads of 500 to 3000 N and up to $10^6$ cycles in exact in vitro environments. At 500 N, no strength degradation and crack generation was observed up to $5\times10^5$ contact cycles. As load rose, the dramatic reduction in strength was observed when the damage transition from ring to radial crack occurred. The. extent of strength degradation was more pronounced in vitro environment probably due to chemical corrosion of artificial saliva through cracks introduced during large numbers of contacts.

Biotribological properties, such as wear rate and friction coefficient, of 3Y-TZP and Low Temperature Degradation (LTD) free materials were investigated via a ball(SiC)-on-plate sliding wear test to evaluate the relationship between wear mechanism and phase transformation. Wear test was conducted with a sliding speed of 0.035 m/s at room temperature and at 25$0^{\circ}C$ in air under a normal load of 49 N, respectively. Although friction coefficient of 3Y-TZP was the lowest due to the fine grain size, the highest wear loss and rate were observed due to the debris of monoclinic grains introduced during sliding and their values increased drastically with raising temperature. However, the biotribological properties of LTD-free materials were insensitive to temperature due to the inertness of the phase transformation, suggesting that they may be applicable to the biomechanical parts.

In order to increase the toughness of ZTA(zirconia toughened alumina) ceramics, the present study focused on rearrangement and densification of particles according to the particle size of the parent material. When rough alumina was used for production of ZTA, densification behavior was observed in the specimen sintered at a temperature over $1550^{\circ}C$. However, it was found that the densification behavior was occurred in the specimen sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ when fine alumina powder was used. High relative density exceeding 98% was obtained when fine alumina powder was mixed with 15 wt% of 3Y-TZP and sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$. Also, a hardness of 1820.2 Hv was obtained when a specimen containing 10 wt% of 3Y-TZP was sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$. In the case of 3Y-TZP containing rough alumina powder that had been sintered the hardness value was around 1720.3 Hv. It was predicted that an improved toughening effect in ZTA could be achieved by using finer alumina powder as the parent material.

The influence of solid loading in the slurry composition on the morphology of 3Y-TZP granules fabricated by two-fluid spray drying was investigated for solid contents varying between 30 wt% and 50 wt%. The resulting 3Y-TZP granules showed a sphere-like shape with diameters of $40-70{\mu}m$. However, a donut-like shape and a few cracks were observed on the granule surfaces fabricated using the slurry with 50 wt% solid content. The green density after cold isostatic pressing at 200 MPa was $2.1-2.2g/cm^3$, and a homogeneous fracture surface was obtained by complete destruction of granules. After sintering at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, all specimens had relative densities of 96.2 - 98.3%. With increasing solid content, the relative density decreased from 98.3% to 96.2%, but the grain size increased from $0.3{\mu}m$ to $0.6{\mu}m$. Highly sinterable zirconia granule powder could be obtained by controlling the slurry composition.

수소 및 산소분위기 하에서 2Y-TZP 및 3Y-PZP 세라믹스를 소결하여 각각 제조한 다음, 각 시편의 미세구조 및 25$0^{\circ}C$에서의 등온상전이 거동을 비교하여 고찰하였다. 그 결과 수소분위기에서 소결한 모든 시편의 표면에서는 Zr$_{4+}$ 이온의 환원에 의해 산화분위기에서 소결한 시편에 비하여 색이 검게 변하였으며, 장시간 소결시 시편 표면에 조대 입자의 생성 및 입계 이완이 관찰되었다. 이에따라 수소분위기 하에서 장시간 소결된 시편의 경우 냉각 시 상전이가 일어나 다량의 단사정상이 상온에서 존재하였다. 저온 aging동안 등온상전이 속도는 산소분위기에서 소결한 시편보다 수소분위기에서 소결한 시편에서 낮게 나타났으며, 이러한 경향은 $Y_{2}$O$_{3}$의 고용량이 크고, 입자크기가 적은 시편일수록 증가하였다. 또한 2Y-TZP 시편에서는 입자크기에 상관없이 대부분의 정방정상이 단사정상으로 빨리 등온상전이를 일으켰으나, 3Y-TZP 시편의 경우, 등온상전이는 입자크기가 증가함에 따라 상전이 속도도 증가하였다.

Casting behavior of Zr(Y,Ce)O2 TZP/Mullite suspension during pressure filtration was investigated to prepare multi-layered Functionally Gradient Materials(FGM). The dispersion stabilities of each layer suspension were investigated by examination of zeta potential and viscosity. The each suspensions with 20 vol.% solid loading and 100 첸 of viscosity was prepared after fix of the dispersing agent (Sodium hexa-meta phosphate) and the binder (Hydroxyethyl cellulose), and then the cakes were formed at the 2.5 MPa~10.0MPa pressure range. The cake thickness of all suspensions was increased with the square root of time at the constant pressure, and the relations between filtration pressure(P)a nd dehydration rate (Q=dh/dt) showed that the flows of filtrates in the consolidated layers were laminar. The permeabilities were nearly constant during filtration, and kozeny constants(Kc) of the suspensions were 4.8~6.7. These valumes were seen as close to 5, which might be homogeneous particle packing during filtration. On the basis of those data, the multi layered compaction with 9 mm thickness and 52.5% green density was prepared by continuous pressure filtration.

The electronic transitions from the ground state to low-lying excited states of CF₃OH have been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical techniques. Also the possible photodissociation procedures of CF₃OH have been considered. The highest level employed in this study is TZP CCSD(T) level of theory. The possible four low-lying excited states can result by the excitation of the lone pair electron (n) in oxygen to σ$^*$ molecular orbital in C-O or O-H bond. The vertical transition (n → σ$^*$) energy is predicted to be 220.5 kcal/mol (130 nm) at TZ2P CISD level to theory. The bond dissociation energies of CF₃OH to CF₃O +H and CF₃+OH have been predicted to be 119.5 kcal/mol and 114.1 kcal/mol, respectively, at TZP CCSD level of theory. In addition, the transition state for the unimolecular decomposition of CF₃OH into CF₂O + HF has been examined. The activation energy and energy separation for this decomposition have been computed to be 43.6kcal/mol and 5.0 kcal/mol including zero-point vibrational energy corrections at TZP CCSD(T) level of theory.ed phenols were also estimated.
