Ti scaffolds with a three-dimensional porous structure were successfully fabricated using powder metallurgy and modified rapid prototyping (RP) process. The fabricated Ti scaffolds showed a highly porous structure with interconnected pores. The porosity and pore size of the scaffolds were in the range of 66$\sim$72% and $300\sim400\;\mu$m, respectively. The sintering of the fabricated scaffolds under the vacuum caused the Ti particles to bond to each other. The strength of the scaffolds depended on the layering patterns. The compressive strength of the scaffolds ranged from 15 MPa to 52 MPa according to the scaffolds' architecture. The alkali treatment of the fabricated scaffolds in an aqueous NaOH solution was shown to be effective in improving the bioactivity. The surface of the alkali-treated Ti scaffolds had a nano-sized fibre-like structure. The modified surface showed a good apatite forming ability. The apatite was formed on the surface of the alkali treated Ti scaffolds within 1 day. The thickness of the apatite increased when the soaking time in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution increased. It is expected that the surface modification of Ti scaffolds by alkali treatment could be effective in forming apatites in vivo and can subsequently enhance bone formation.

The influences of Na and K content on the crystal phase, the microstructure and the electrical property of $BaTiO_3$-based thermistors was found to show typical PTC effects. The crystal phase of powder calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs showed a single phase with $BaTiO_3$, and the crystal structure was transformed from tetragonal to cubic phase according to added amounts of Na and K. In XRD results at $43^{\circ}\sim47^{\circ}$, the $(Ba_{0.858}Na_{0.071}K_{0.071})(Ti_{0.9985}Nb_{0.0015})O_{3-\delta}$ showed (002) and (200) peaks but the $(Ba_{0.762}Na_{0.119}K_{0.119})(Ti_{0.9975}Nb_{0.0025})O_{3-\delta}$ showed (002), (020) and (200) peaks. In sintered bodies, those calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ rather than at $1000^{\circ}C$ were dense, and for certain amounts of Na and K showed rapid decreases in grain size. In relative permittivity, the curie temperature due to the transformation of ferroelectric phase rose with added Na and K but decreased in terms of relative permittivity. In the result of the R-T curve, the sintered bodies have curie temperatures of about $140^{\circ}C$ and the resistivity of sintered bodies have scores of $\Omega{\cdot}cm$; the jump order of sintered bodies was shown to be more than $10^4$ in powder calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$.

Sr substituted materials for some barium in M-type barium ferrite powder and Co-Ti substituted Sr-Ba hexagonal ferrite powder were prepared by citrate sol-gel method and 2 MOE sol-gel method these hexaferrite particles were reduced for 1hr in the hydrogen gas. The reduction temperatures were varied in the range of 250 $^{\circ}C$ to 500 $^{\circ}C$. X-ray diffraction patterns were measured using diffractometer with Cu $K_{\Alhpa}$ radiation. Mossbauer absorption spectra were measured with a constant acceleration spectrometer. We have focused on studying the origin of increasing $M_s$ by M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. Ferrite particles which were sintered at 105$0^{\circ}C$ were found to be typical magnetoplumbite structure and single phase. XRD patterns with varying the reduction temperatures in $Sr_{0.5}Ba_{0.5}Fe_{10}O_{19}$ indicates ferrites particles become composite hexaferrites containing $\alpha$-Fe at T_{red}=350 \;$^{\circ}C$$. On the otherhand, it was found that $Co^{2+}$ ions and $Ti^{4+}$ ions in $Sr_{0.7}Ba_{0.3}Fe_{10}CoTiO_{19}$ prevent from changing $Fe^{3+}$ ions to $\alpha$-Fe during the $H_2$ reduction. Comparing Mossbauer results with XRD results, we have determined most of $\alpha$-Fe are reduced from $4f_{vi}$ sites and 12k sites of $Fe^{3+}$ ions. These $\alpha$-Fe phase bring the induced anisotropy and increase saturation magnetization $M_s$.TEX>.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a rapidly developing field in environmental engineering. It has a great potential to cope with the increasing pollution in the air. The addition of a photocatalyst to ordinary building materials such as tiles, concrete, paints, creates environmental friendly materials by which air pollution or pollution of the surface itself can be controlled and diminished. This work reports the results of the laboratory research, especially carried out towards air purifying action and self-cleaning measurements. In particular the research was focused on the study of the photocatalytic behavior of industrially prepared tiles produced starting from commercial micro-sized $TiO_2$. Air purification action has been investigated through NOx degradation tests. On the contrary, the degradation of pollution at the surface, also called as self-cleaning action, is verified by the degradation of two different organic dyes: Rhodamine B (red color) and Metanil yellow (yellow).

Surface hardening of AC4C aluminium alloy with TiC powders was obtained by plasma transferred are (PTA) method, Bead appearance, microstrucutre and wear behavior were characterized in relation to the torch current, powder feed rate and wear condition. The width and the depth of bead were mainly increased with increasing torch current. The comparison of wear behavior between AC4C alloy and PTA treated AC4C alloy showed the remarkable enhancement of wear resistance.

Fracture behavior was investigated in the $Al_2O_3-TiO_2(3 wt{\%})-LaPO_4(25 wt{\%}$) composite ceramics. To improve the fracture toughness of alumina ceramics, $TiO_2$ and $LaPO_4$ as a second phase were introduced. The samples were made by conventional powder processing method. Green compacts were sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in air. Fracture toughness was tested using Indentation Strength Bending(ISB) method. From the bending test, enhanced fracture toughness was found in the composite, compared to the pure and $TiO_2$-doped alumina. The main factor of the enhancement of fracture toughness seems to be attributed to the weak interphase role of the $LaPO_4$ as a particulate type.

고성능 전자부품 개발이 진행되면서 나노크기의 분말에 대한 합성연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 실제 나노크기의 입자는 그 기능이 기존 fm크기의 입자에 비해 뛰어나 많은 연구자들의 관심이 되어 있음에도 불구하고 제품으로 응용된 예는 거의 없는 실정인데 이는 나노크기의 입자라 할지라도 응집이 되어 있거나 작업하기 어렵기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 응집된 BaTiO$_3$분말에 분산제와 함께 고속볼밀을 하여 이에 따른 분산 효과와 tape casting을 위한 최적 분산 안정성에 대하여 연구하였다. 분산제의 종류와 볼밀시간에 따른 분산효과를 확인하기 위하여 zeta potential 값을 비교하였으며 이러한 분산제의 종류와 볼밀시간에 따라 분산효과가 변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 분산된 분말에 대해 다른 분자량을 가지는 PVB와 상용바인더를 사용하여 tape casting하였다. 결합제의 종류에 따라 슬러리의 특성이 변화하였으며 분자량이 다른 PVB를 사용하여 성형한 시편을 소결하여 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다.

This paper reports a newly developed sol-gel process to synthesize dense YBCO thick films with BaTiO$_3$additives using electrophoretic deposition and metal alkoxide sol/particle suspension, which we successfully produce dense $YBCO+BaTiO_3$ ceramics at a rather low temperature, compared with the sintering temperature used in conventional methods. The thick films of HTS were prepared by electrophoretic deposition, using pre-sintered powder with barium titanate addition in the form of $BaTi(OR)_6$ solution in suspension for electrophoresis. The conditions for applied voltage and deposition times for electrophoretic deposition of HTS thick films were studied in detail.

2단계하소법에 의해 낮은 하소온도에서 미세하고도 균일한 PZT분말을 합성하였다. 우선 Zr $O_{2}$와 Ti $O_{2}$ 혼합분말을 1차하소하여 (Z $r_{0.53}$ $Ti_{0.47}$) $O_{3}$(ZTO) 분말을 합성하고 이 ZTO 고용분말에 PbO와 N $b_{2}$ $O_{5}$을 혼합한 후 650-800.deg.C에서 2시간 하소하여 PZT 분말을 합성하였는데 얻어진 분말은 고상반응법에 비해 미세할 뿐만 아니라 XRD 분석결과 710.deg.C의 낮은 하소온도에서도 PZT 단일상을 나타내었다. 2단계하소법에 의해 하소온도를 낮출 수 있는 주된 이유로는 고상반응법에서는 중간생성물인 PbTi $O_{3}$상의 생성이 수반됨으로 850.deg.C 이상 되어야만 안전한 PZT가 생성될 수 있는 점을 들 수 있다. 또 2단계하소법에 의하면 950.deg.C이하의 낮은 소결온도에서도 치밀화가 미루어지는 소결이 가능함을 알 수 있었는데 이와같이 소결온도를 낮출 수 있는 것은 고상반응법에 비해 미세한 PZT 분말을 사용하였기 때문이라 풀이된다.이된다.
