In this study the electrical conductivity of excess BaO in $BaTiO_3$ was measured to investigate the relationship between defects and solubility in the temperature range of $900^{\circ}C$ to $1300^{\circ}C$ under various oxygen partial pressure. First of all, quenched $BaTiO_3$ powders of various Ba/Ti ratios were analysed by X-ray diffraction to confirm whether second phase is formed or not. As the results, we observed the solubility of BaO in the temperature range of $1200^{\circ}C$ to $1400^{\circ}C$, and it was also found that the conductivity minima move to lower $PO_2$ with increasing excess BaO within solubility limit.

Poling is an important process in fabricating PZT ceramic devices such as filters and resonators and activates piezoelectricity to sintered PZT ceramics. Tolerance of the operating frequency of these devices is tightly required in applications. And a factor to attribute the tolerance is the temperature dependence of the resonance frequency of PZT ceramics. In this paper the relationship of poling strength and temperature dependence of resonance frequency of PZT specimens was studied. The $Pb(Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47})O_3$ ceramics were fabricated and the poling strengths were chosen to be 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 [kV/mm]. The dielectric constant of the specimen poled in poling strength 0.5 [kV/mm] was less than that of unpoled specimen and the specimen poled in higher electric field had the higher dielectric constant. (002) peak in X-ray diffraction patterns of the specimens increased as poling strength increased. And the change of resonance frequency of the specimens according to the variation of temperature was measured. Resonance frequency of all specimens increased as the temperature increased. The specimen poled in higher electric field had the smaller positive temperature coefficient of resonance frequency. The effect that temperature coefficient of resonance frequency becomes smaller is obtained when Zr mole in PZT composition equation increase. Controlling the poling strength is believed to be a method to adjust the temperature stability of resonance frequency of the PZT ceramic devices.

Structure and electrical properties of $0.85NaNbO_3-0.15LiNbO_3$ ($(Li_{0.15}Na_{0.85})NbO_3$) ceramics were investigated as a function of sintering temperature. $(Li_{0.15}Na_{0.85})NbO_3$ ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state processing. A main phase of the orthorhombic perovskite structure and secondary phase of $LiNbO_3$ were confirmed for all sintered specimens. Dense $(Li_{0.15}Na_{0.85})NbO_3$ ceramics were obtained at sintering temperature above $1050^{\circ}C$. With increasing sintering temperature, the electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$), piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) and relative dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) of the sintered specimens increased, while the mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) decreased. These results are due to the increase of grain size and crystallite size of orthorhombic perovskite structure. Based on the temperature dependence of ${\varepsilon}_r$, stable piezoelectric properties were expected because no phase transition found up to $300^{\circ}C$. Typically, kp of 18%, $d_{33}$ of 34.7 pC/N, ${\varepsilon}_r$ of 135, and $Q_m$ of 62.8 were obtained for the specimens sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 5 h.

The effect of x on microwave dielectric properties of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-x(TiO_2,\;CaTiO_3,\;SrTiO_3)$ ceramics for microwave components were investigated. All spcecimens prepared by the conventional mixed oxied method and sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$. Microwave dielectric properties of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-xTiO_2$ ceramics were influenced by $MgTi_2O_5$ phase. Also the microwave dielectric properties of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-x(TiO_2,\;CaTiO_3,\;SrTiO_3)$ ceramics were dominated with an addition of $CaTiO_3\;and\;SrTiO_3$. The dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_r)$, quality factor $(Q{\times}f_r)$ and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency $(TCRF,\;\tau_f)$ of the $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-x(TiO_2,\;CaTiO_3,\;SrTiO_3)$ ceramics were $12.96\sim70.98,\;5,132\sim186,410GHZ$ and $-35.82\sim+75.96ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively, and depend on x and addition materials.

Lead-free $0.94(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.06Ba$(Ti_{0.9}Sn_{0.1})O_3$ [0.94NKN-0.06BTS] ceramics doped with 1 mol% $MnO_2$ were synthesized by a conventional solid state method. The phase transitional behavior and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics sintered at various temperatures were investigated. The 0.94NKN-0.06BTS ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$, having morphotropic phase boundary of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, exhibited a microstructure with abnormal grain growth. A diffused phase transition behavior for all the specimens was verified as high degree of diffuseness (${\gamma}$) values from 1.45 to 1.79. A high piezoelectric constant of $d_{33}=256$ pC/N and a satisfactory electromechanical coupling factor of $k_p=42%$ were obtained for the relatively dense 0.94NKN-0.06BTS ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with the composition of $(Na_{0.54}K_{0.46})_{0.96}Li_{0.04}(Nb_{1-0.10-x}Ta_{0.10}Sb_x)O_{3}$ (x= 0~8 mol%) were fabricated by nomal sintering at $1,090^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. the phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties were investigated with a emphasis on the influence of the Sb content. All samples exhibit a single perovskite phase over the whole compositional range. For the ceramics with x= 4 [mol%], two phase transitions are observed at $75^{\circ}C$ and $366^{\circ}C$, corresponding to the phase transitions of orthorhombic to tetragonal (To-t) and tetragonal to cubic (Tc), respectively. high electrical properties of $d_{33}$= 210.83 pC/N, kp= 40%, ${\varepsilon}_r$= 1,091.35, $\rho$= 4.54 g/$cm^2$ were obtained from the specimen with x= 4 [mol%], which suggests that the composition ceramics is a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

In this study, low temperature sintering property of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramics with sintering adds were investigated for LTCC application which enable to cofiring with Ag electrode. $TiTe_3O_8$ mixed with $MgTiO_3$ to improve the temperature property. In the X-ray diffraction patterns, the columbite structure of $TiTe_3O_3$ phase and ilmenite structure of $MgTiO_3$ phase were coexisted in all specimens. In the case of $H_3BO_3$ addition, the bulk density and dielectric constant were decreased but quality factor was increased with amount of $H_3BO_3$ additions. The TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3+xwt%H_3BO_3$ ceramics were moved to positive direction. In another case, SnO addition, the bulk density and dielectric constant were increased but Quality factor was decreased with amount of SnO additions. The TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$+ywt%SnO ceramics were shifted to negative direction. The dielectric constant, quality factor and TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramics with $2wt%H_3BO_3$ and 2.5wt%SnO sintered at $830^{\circ}C$ for 1h, were 28.5, 39,570GHz, $+9.34ppm/^{\circ}C$ and 29.86, 35,80000z, $-0.58ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Low-temperature sintering and dielectric properties of the $1-xBiNbO_4-xZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics (x=0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) with 10 wt% zinc borosilicate (ZBS) glass was investigated as a function of the substitution of $ZnNb_2O_6$ with a view to applying this system to LTCC technology. The all composition addition of 10 wt% ZBS glass ensured a successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. The the amount of $ZnNb_2O_6$ on $ZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics increased the $Q{\times}f$ values, but it decreased the sinterability and dielectric constant due to the higher $Q{\times}f$ value and sintering temperature of $ZnNb_2O_6$ than that of $ZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics. The increase of $ZnNb_2O_6$ content from 0.3 to 0.7 in the $1-xBiNbO_4-xZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics with 10 wt% ZBS glass sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ demonstrated 30~20 in the dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$), 3,500~4,500 GHz in the $Q{\times}f$ value.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of surface treatments, liquids, and aging on color, translucency, and surface properties of monolithic ceramics. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Lithium disilicate (LDS) and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) ceramics (n = 135 each) were cut and divided into three groups [crystallization+glaze (single stage), crystallization-glaze (two stages), and crystallization-polish (two stages)]. One sample from each group was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Remaining samples were divided into four subgroups (distilled water, coffee, grape juice, and smoothie) (n = 11 each), stored for 12 d in the respective liquids, and thermally aged. One sample from each subgroup was analyzed using SEM. The color, gloss, and roughness values of the samples were analyzed after surface treatment (initial) and storage under different liquids+aging conditions. The initial data and both the aged data and data change values were analyzed using robust two- and three-way analyses of variance. RESULTS. The glazed groups exhibited smoother surfaces. Ceramic type and ceramic-surface treatment interactions affected the initial translucency parameter (TP) (P < .001) and the initial and aged roughness values (P ≤ .001). Surface treatment type affected the color change (P < .001), and ceramic type affected the aged TP values (P < .001). Type of ceramic, surface treatment, and their interactions affected both the initial and aged gloss (P ≤ .001) and TP change values (P ≤ .015). Surface treatment type and ceramic-surface treatment interactions affected the gloss change values (P ≤ .001). CONCLUSION. Although both ceramics and all surface treatments are clinically applicable, crystallization-glaze is recommended. When gloss and smoothness are important or when translucency is important, ZLS or LDS may be preferred, respectively.

본 연구에서는 환경에 유해한 휘발성 유기화합물 (VOC)을 사용하지 않은 나노합성 세라믹 도장재를 도포한 콘크리트의 내구성 증진 효과를 평가하기 위하여 건조상태 부착강도 실험, 습윤상태 부착강도 실험, SEM 촬영, MIP 분석, 탄산화 촉진 실험, 전기적 촉진법에 의한 염소이온 확산실험, 동결융해에 대한 저항성, 내알칼리 실험 및 내염수성 실험을 실시하여 기존의 표면처리제와 비교 평가하였다. 부착강도 측정 결과 나노합성 세라믹 도장재가 건조상태 및 습윤상태에서 가장 이상적인 결과를 나타내었는데 이는 가수분해와 중축합반응을 통하여 무기질계 세라믹 구조를 형성한 나노합성 세라믹이 콘크리트 내의 C-A-S (calcium silicate aluminate)나 C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate)와 같은 수화물과의 수소결합을 통해 콘크리트 표면과 일체화되어 나타난 결과로 판단된다. 또한 SEM 및 MIP 분석의 결과를 통해 미세한 공극을 가진 표면 조직을 보여주었다. 그리고 탄산화 및 염소이온 확산 실험과 동결융해 저항성에서 기존의 유기도장재를 능가하는 결과를 보였으며 내알칼리성 및 내염수성 실험에서도 좋은 성능을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 기존의 휘발성 유기화합물을 사용하는 유기도장재의 대안으로써 해안 구조물, 하수 처리장 등 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 향상을 위한 나노합성 세라믹 도장재의 사용이 기대된다.
