This study aims to synthesize emerald-green malayaite pigments using $CaCO_3$, $SiO_2$, $SnO_2$ and $V_2O_5$. For this purpose, the optimum composition is $CaV_{0.25}Sn_{0.687}SiO_5$ and heating condition is at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 6 h of soaking time. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometers(FT-IR), the Raman Spectrometer, Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and the UV/Vis spectroscopy. The substituted V ion for Sn was observed to be quadrivalence. The analytical results of the synthesized pigment showed the tetragonal crystal, a typical form of Malayaite, and the particle size to be approximately $5{\sim}10\;{\mu}m$. The color in lime glaze added 12 wt% pigment was emerald green, and CIE Lab parameters are $L^*=67.73$, $a^*=-12.39$ and $b^*=9.28$.

To develop the bright-vivid red- and yellow-inorganic fluorescent pigments with high luminescence properties, A₃V₅O₁₄ (A = K and Rb) and Cs₂V₄O₁₁ inorganic pigments were synthesized by a water assisted solid state reaction (WASSR) method and a conventional solid state reaction method. Although impurity peaks corresponding to the AVO₃ and AV₃O₈ (A = K, Rb, and Cs) were observed in all samples prepared, the trigonal structure A₃V₅O₁₄ (A = K and Rb) and orthorhombic structure Cs₂V₄O₁₁ were successfully obtained as a main phase. These inorganic pigments showed the broad absorption band (under 550 nm) originated from CT transitions of VO₄ polyhedron, and the strong broad red- and green-emission bands due to ³T₂ → ¹A₁ and ³T₁ → ¹A₁ transitions of the [VO₄]^3- group. The A₃V₅O₁₄ (A = K and Rb) and Cs₂V₄O₁₁ pigments showed a bright-vivid red- and yellow-body color, where the a* values of the A₃V₅O₁₄ (A = K and Rb) were +35.5 and +45.9, respectively, and b* value of Cs₂V₄O₁₁ pigments was +50.3. The L* values of the A₃V₅O₁₄ (A = K and Rb) and Cs₂V₄O₁₁ inorganic pigments were over +45. These results indicate that the A₃V₅O₁₄ (A = K and Rb) and Cs₂V₄O₁₁ inorganic pigments could be an attractive candidate as a bright-vivid red- and yellow inorganic pigments.

This study is intended to examine the degree of phosphorescent luminance in proportion to the amount of phosphorescent pigments in the ceramic based coating. The results of this study were that the degree of phosphorescent luminance was Increased in proportion to the amount of phosphorescent pigments in the ceramic based coatings. Samples with more than $20\%$ of phosphorescent pigments exceeded the Japanese Industrial Standard for security signs. Luminance levels 10 times greater than the KS and JIS standard were obtained with a concentration of $50\%$. The luminance increased initially with the number of applications of the ceramic based coating but there was no further increase for more than 4 applications. The water-based phosphorescent ceramics developed here are made entirely of inorganic materials and do not generate toxic gases. The optical characteristics of these materials makes them suitable for use in phosphorescent emergency exit signs in place of the traditionally used vinyl chloride materials.

During the process of synthesizing green celsian pigments, attempts were made to replace a given amount of $BaCO_3$ with $SrCO_3$ to accelerate the hexagonal to monoclinic celsian phase transition, which was assumed to promote color development. Monoclinic celsian have been synthesized from Hongkong-Kaolin, $BaCO_3$, $SrCO_3$, $Al(OH)_3$, $SiO_2$ and $SrCO_3$ with 1 to 1.5 wt% of LiF as a mineralizer from 1100 to $1300^{\circ}C$. It was found that replacing $BaCO_3$ with $SrCO_3$ allowed monoclinic celsian to be formed at a lower temperature. While the pigments containing 1 mole of $BaCO_3$ were difficult to synthesize monoclinic celsian with absence of the mineralizer, the formation of monoclinic celsian was successfully achieved even without mineralizer by using 0.25 mole of $SrCO_3$ at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The color development was improved from yellowish green to green with increasing amount of $SrCO_3$ being replaced.

Cobalt aluminate ($CoAl_2O_4$) is a highly stable pigment with excellent resistance to light, weather, etc., which has resulted in widespread use as a ceramic pigment. Due to the unique optical characteristics, $CoAl_2O_4$ is generally used as a coloring agent to decorate porcelain products, glass, paints and plastics. Here, $CoAl_2O_4$ pigments were synthesized by polymerized complex method and solid state reaction. Then $CoAl_2O_4$ pigment were grinded using the attrition milling with 1 mm size zirconia ball for 3 hours. The attrition milling process was performed at the constant speed of 800 rpm and ball to powder weight ratio (BPR) was 100 : 1. The characteristics of synthesized pigment were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size analyser (PSA) and CIE $L^*a^*b^*$. The XRD patterns of $CoAl_2O_4$ show single phase spinel structure. The particle size of $CoAl_2O_4$ measured by FE-SEM, TEM and PSA analysis was in the range of 100~200 nm. The blue color of obtained $CoAl_2O_4$ pigments could be confirmed through CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ measurement.

Ink-jet printing technology, which utilizes a digitalized design to print fine ink directly on a substrate, has been of interest in various industries due to its high efficiency and adaptability to various materials. Recently, active attempts have been made to apply ceramic materials having excellent heat resistance, light resistance, and chemical resistance to the ink-jet printing process. In this study, ceramic ink was synthesized by combining ceramic pigments with UV curable polymer. 3D printability at various contact angles between ceramic ink and substrate was analyzed in detail. Rheological properties of the synthesized ceramic ink were optimized to meet the requirements of the ink-jet printing process, and the contact angle of UV curable ceramic ink was controlled through surface treatment of the substrate. The potential for additive manufacturing of ceramic material using ink-jet printing was investigated by analyzing the effect of contact angle control on ceramic ink droplets and their 3D printability.

The advantage of ceramic ink-jet printing technology is the accurate and fast printing process of digital images for various products. For digital ink-jet printing applications, ceramic ink requires proper viscosity and surface tension, along with dispersion stability of the inorganic pigments. The purpose of this study is the formulation of an environment-friendly ceramic ink with a water-based system; using nano-sized $CoAl_2O_4$ pigment as a raw material, ink should have dispersion stability to prevent nozzle clogging during ink-jet printing process. In addition, the surface tension of the ceramic ink was optimized with the polysiloxane surfactant according to the surface tension requirement (20 - 45 mN/m) for ceramic ink-jet printing; by adjusting the viscosity with poly ethylene oxide, jetting behavior of the ceramic ink was investigated according to changes in the physical features through drop watcher measurement.

3D printing technology is a processing technology in which 3D structures are formed by fabricating multiple 2D layers of materials based on 3D designed digital data and stacking them layer by layer. Although layers are stacked using inkjet printing to release various materials, it is still rare for research to successfully form a product as an additive manufacture of multi-materials. In this study, dispersion conditions are optimized by adding a dispersant to an acrylic monomer suitable for inkjet printing using Co₃O₄ and Al₂O₃. 3D structures having continuous composition composed of a different ceramic material are manufactured by printing using two UV curable ceramic inks whose optimization is advanced. After the heat treatment, the produced structure is checked for the formation and color of the desired crystals by comparing the crystalline analysis according to the characteristics of each part of the structure with ceramic pigments made by solid phase synthesis method.

Perovskite codoped with chromium and iron have been studied. Samples with $YAl_{0.96}(Cr_{0.04-x}Fe_x)O_3$(x=0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) were prepared by solid state reaction at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 6 h and were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, SEM and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The color of the synthesized pigments were from red to dark brown(in bulk). Up to 0.02 mole $Fe_2O_3$ for substituting $Cr_2O_3$ development of color in lime-glaze gives good red color but as increasing amount of $Fe_2O_3$ and decreasing $Cr_2O_3$ proportionally produce from brownish red to brown. Increasing $Fe_2O_3$ amount lead to weaken crystal field relatively due to have smaller ionic radius than $Cr_2O_3$ ionic one. The UV-vis peaks were shifted to lower wavelength.
