Cathode material, $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})_{0.99}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-\delta}$, for low temperature SOFC was prepared by the Glycine-Nitrate synthesis Process (GNP). Characteristics of the synthesized powders were studied with controlling the pH of a precursor solution. Highly acidic precursor solution increased a perovskite forming temperature. It is considered that Ba and Sr cannot complex by carboxylic acid group of glycine, because under highly acidic condition the caboxylic group mainly combined with H+ insead of alkaline earth cations. A lack of bond between cations and glycine resulted in selective precipitation of the elements during evaporation of the precursor solution. In case of using precursor solution with pH %2\~3$, a single perovskite phase was obtained at $1000^{\circ}C$. Polarization resistance of $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})_{0.99}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-\delta}$ was measured by AC impedance spectroscopy from the two electrode symmetric cell. Area specific resistance of the $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})_{0.99}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-\delta}$ air electrode at $500^{\circ}C\;and\;600^{\circ}C$ were $0.96{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2\;and\;0.16{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, respectively.

The critical current density, electrical conductivity, critical magnetic field, Meissner effect, apparent density, and microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-x ceramic superconductor prepared by polymeric precursor, while varing calcining and sintering conditions, were investigated. The best superconducting properties could be obtained from the body sintered at 93$0^{\circ}C$ for 10h after calcining at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 10h, which gave 383A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of critical current density(Jc), 96K of onset temperature(Tonset), 94. 8K of zero temperature (Tzero) 225 Oe of critical magnetic field (Hc1), 72.8% of superconducting volume fraction measured by Meissner effect and 6.28g/㎤ of apparent density.

Stoichiometric mullite ($3Al_2$$O_3$. $2SiO_2$) precursor sol has been prepared by sol-gel method. The effects of the precursor pH and sintering temperature on the synthesizing behavior and morphology of mullite have been studied. Mullite precursor sol was prepared by dissolution of aluminum nitrate enneahydrate (Al($NO_3$)$_3$.9H$_2O) into the mixture of silica sol. Precursor pH of the sols was controlled to acidic condition ($PH\leq$ 1~1.5) and to basic condition ($pH\geq$8.5~9). The synthesized aluminosilicate sols were formed under 20 MPa pressure after drying at $150^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, and then sintered for 3hours in the temperature range of $1100~1600^{\circ}C$. From TGA/DTA analysis, total weight loss in the aluminosilicate gel of the acidic sample was (equation omitted) 56% and that of the basic sample was (equation omitted) 85%, indicating that the synthesizing temperature of mullite phase for acidic and basic samples was above $1200^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$, respectively. The morphologies of the synthesized mullite were fine and needle-like (or rod-like) for acidic sample, and granular for basic sample that has been sintered above $1300^{\circ}C$. It was found that the morphology of mullite particle was predominantly governed by precursor pH and sintering temperature.

Tape casting technique was successfully applied to produce porous ceramics and multi-layered ceramics containing porous layers, where spherical hollow polymer particles were introduced as pore precursors. In the presence of extreme differences in density and size between Al2O3 and pore precursor particles, hindered settling was effective in preventing segregation of component particles and packing behavior of mixed powders was improved through bimodal packing. There were two transitions in packing behavior of mixed powders. The first transition took place at 40~50 vol% pore precursor addition, where majority of pores changed from close to open pore state. The other transition occured at 60~70 vol% pore precursor addition, where pore precursor particles formed a continuous network structure.

Polycarbosilane was synthesized from polydimethylsilane at 42$0^{\circ}C$, pyrolysis temperature with various times And IR, NMR, UV, and GPC were detected. Average molecular weight Mn was increased proportionally with the reaction time. Average molecular weight of polycarbosilane was about 700(n=20), which has chain structure and the product yield was 72%.

Sinter-active yttria powders were prepared by a solution precipitation with using a self-decomposing precipitation agent NH2CONH2(urea). The cold-pressed powders can be sintered to full density and the microstructure of grains less than 200 nm at a temperature as low as 120$0^{\circ}C$. The activity of the yttria powder has been controlled by varying nucleation conditions during precipitation and by minimizing formation of aggregates. The type of precursor is decisive in preparation of a sinter-active oxide powder, and urea is desirable as a precipitation agent for an active yttrium oxide powder.

ORMOSIL was synthesized with inorganic precursor, TEOS and organic precursor, PDMS, and the variation of composite properties according to the concentration of HCl, solvent content and reaction time were studied. As the concentration of HCl increased, condensation reaction was well proceeded and more regularly distributed network was observed. Increase in reactivity was found with the amount of solvent, and composite had a tendency of forming more porous microstructure as reaction time was increased, which had no influence on the bonding degree.

A novel nanofabrication process has been developed using two-photon crosslinking (TPC) for the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) SiCN ceramic microstructures applicable to high functional 3D devices, which can be used in harsh working environments requiring a high temperature, a resistance to chemical corrosion, as well as tribological properties. After sequential processes: TPC and pyrolysis, 3D ceramic microstructures are obtained. However, large shrinkage due to low-ceramic yield during the pyrolysis is a serious problem to be solved in the precise fabrication of 3D ceramic microstructures. In this work, silica nanoparticles were employed as a filler to reduce the amount of shrinkage. In particular, the ceramic microstructures containing 40 wt% silica nanoparticles exhibited relatively isotropic shrinkage owing to its sliding free from the substrate during pyrolysis.
