본 연구에서는 입계의 성질을 이용한 PTCR 재료에 입계 modifier로서 $Bi_2O_3$를 첨가하고 입계의 미세구조와 결함농도를 변화시켜 이에 따른 소결 및 전기적 특성변화를 TMA, XRD, 복합 임피던스방법 등을 이용하여 해석하였다. 실험 결과 Y이 도우핑된 $BaTiO_3$PTCR 재료에 $Bi_2O_3$를 첨가하였을때 약 0.1mol%까지 고용이 되는 것으로 밝혀졌다. $Bi_2O_3$를 고용한계 이하로 첨가시에는 생성되는 vacancy등의 결함으로 말미암아 $Y-BaTiO_3$의 치밀화가 촉진되었으나, 그 이상 첨가하면 치밀화 뿐만 아니라 결정립 성장도 억제되었다. $Bi_2O_3$의 첨가량에 따라 계내에 존재하는 각 이온의 반경, 결함 반응식 및 격자 탄성 변형 에너지 등을 고려하면 $Y-BaTiO_3$결정립 내부에 Ba와 Ti vacancy가 동시에 생길 수 있어 고온저항이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. BN은 $BaTiO_3$에 고용이 되지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 $B_2O_3$를 주성분으로한 액상형성으로 인하여 저온에서의 급격한 치밀화가 관찰되었다. 또 Ba-Y-Ti-B-O의 비정질 상이 tripie junction에 존재함으로써 상온저항이 크게 변화하였으며, PTCR jump도 높아졌다.

$MnO_2$ was added to the $0.95(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-0.05CaTiO_3$ (NKN-CT) ceramics in order to promote the densification and improve the poling efficiency by increasing the resistance of the specimens. Densification and abnormal grain growth occurred in the $MnO_2$-added NKN-CT ceramics sintered at $1020^{\circ}C$, indicating that $MnO_2$ assisted the liquid-phase sintering of these materials. $Mn^{3+}$ ions were considered to enter the A-site of the matrix, thereby producing the free electrons, which interacted with the holes resulting from the evaporation of alkali ions. This interaction results in an increase in the resistance of the specimens. The increased resistance improved the poling efficiency and, hence, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the NKN-CT ceramics. A few of the $Mn^{3+}$ ions that entered the B-site of the NKN-CT matrix led to a slight increase in the mechanical quality factor.

+325~-200 mesh의 합성 뮬라이트에 평균입경 9.1$\mu\textrm{m}$의 장석을 첨가하여 무가압분물충전성형법으로 성형한후 1200~140$0^{\circ}C$에서의 치밀화 거동을 관찰하였다. 적절한 성형강도를 얻기 위해 충전된 분말내로 PVA 4% 결합제 용액을 침투시켰다. 가소성을 얻기 위한 점토없이 성형이 가능한 무가압분말충전성형법에 의해 제조된 성형체를 열처리하는 경우, 기존의 방법처럼 점토의 상전이로 인한 결함발생이 없었으며 장석의 용융에 의해 치밀한 미세구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 장석 첨가량이 30%인 시편의 경우 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 동안 소결했을 때 흡수율 0, 기공율 1% 미만의 치밀한 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 그 이상의 유지시간이나, 140$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 소결온도에서는 뮬라이트의 거대 입성장이 일어났다.

구조용 세라믹재료로 주로 사용되는 알루미나(Al₂O₃)는 우수한 기계적 특성을 위해 치밀한 미세구조를 요구하며, 소결온도를 낮추기 위해 상업적으로 액상소결(liquid phase sintering)이 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 SiO₂, MgO, CaO를 액상소결 조제로 사용하는 92 % 상업용 알루미나의 액상소결 시, 착색제(coloring agent)로 주로 사용되는 산화코발트(Co₂O₃)의 첨가량과 다양한 소결온도가 알루미나의 미세구조 및 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 약 11 w t% 산화코발트 첨가에 따라 1200℃부터 고상입자 재배열에 의한 수축이 시작되었고 1300℃ 이상의 온도에서 용해 재석출 및 합체(coalescence)에 의한 알루미나의 결정립 성장이 관찰되었다. 1400℃ 이상의 열처리 온도 혹은 과량의 Co₂O₃ 첨가는 액상의 점도를 낮추어 소결밀도를 감소시켰고, 이와 함께 경도값도 감소하였다. 산화코발트를 11 w t% 첨가하여 1350℃에서 소결할 경우, 3.86 g/㎤의 밀도와 12.32 GPa의 경도를 갖는 치밀한 소결체 제조가 가능하였다.

In this study, humidity control ceramics with good adsorption/desorption capabilities and high strength were fabricated from drinking-water treatment sludge (DWTS) and Onggi soil. The DWTS powder heat-treated at $800^{\circ}C$ and Onggi soil were mixed at weight ratios of 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, and 70:30 and fired at $800-1000^{\circ}C$. With increasing DWTS content, density and flexural strength increased. For the sample with a DWTS:Onggi soil weight ratio of 70:30, porosity and specific surface area decreased with increasing firing temperature, attributed to densification and grain growth at high firing temperatures. From the results obtained, a firing temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ is the optimum condition for fabricating humidity control ceramics with good adsorption/desorption capabilities and strength. The maximum adsorbed amount for the sample fired at $800^{\circ}C$ was $439g/m^2$.

This paper reports the effect of sintering processes and additives on the microstructures and mechanical properties of $ZrB_2$-SiC composite ceramics. We fabricated sintered bodies of $ZrB_2$-20 vol.% SiC with or without sintering additive, such as C or $B_4C$, densified by spark plasma sintering as well as hot pressing. While almost full densification was achieved regardless of sintering processes or sintering additives, significant grain growth was observed in the case of spark plasma sintering, especially with $B_4C$. With sintered bodies, mechanical properties, such as flexural strength and Vickers hardness, were also examined.

The effects of $MnO_2$ doping on the crystal structure, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of (K,Na)$NbO_3$ (KNN) ceramics have been investigated. $MnO_2$ was found to be effective in enhancing the densification and grain growth during sintering. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that Mn ions substituted B-site Nb ions up to 2 mol%, however, further doping induced unwanted secondary phases. In comparison with undoped KNN ceramics, the well developed microstructure and the substitution to B-sites in 2 mol% Mn-doped KNN ceramics resulted in significant improvements in both piezoelectric coupling coefficient and electromechanical quality factor.

Sintering behavior of nanostructured(NS) W-Cu powders prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) was investigated as a function of sintering temperature. MA NS W-2owt%Cu and W-3owt%Cu composite powders with the crystal size of 20-30 nm were annealed at 90$0^{\circ}C$, and thermal characteristics of those powders were investigated by DSC. Sintering behavior of MA NS W-Cu composite powders was investigated during the solid-state sintering and the Cu-liquid phase sintering. The new nanosintering phenonenon of MA W-Cu powders at solid-state sintering temperature was suggested to explain the W-grain growth in the inside of MA powders. The sintering densification of MA NS W-Cu powders was enhanced at Cu melting temperature by arrangement of MA powders, i.e., the first rearrangement of MA powders was occurred, and then the rearrangement of W-grains in the sintered parts was also took place during liquid-phase sintering, i.e., the second rearrangement was happened. Due to the double rearrangement process of MA NS W-Cu powders, the high sintered density with more than 96%o was obtained and the fine and high homogeneous state of W and Cu phases was achieved by sintering at 1200 $^{\circ}C$.

Nanocrystalline CrN films were deposited on Si (100) substrates by means of asymmetric pulsed DC reactive magnetron sputtering. We investigated the growth behavior, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of CrN films with a change in the duty cycle and pulse frequency. The grain size of the CrN films decreased from 25.4 nm to 11.2 nm upon a decrease in the duty cycle. The corrosion potentials for the CrN films by DC sputtering was approximately - 0.6 V, and it increased to - 0.3 V in the CrN films which underwent pulsed sputtering. The nanoindentation hardness of the CrN films also increased with a decrease in the duty cycle. This enhancement of the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of pulsed sputtered CrN films could be attributed to the densification and surface smoothness of the microstructure of the films.

Due to the anisotropy of thermal expansion, LAS system which has low thermal expansion property is hard to obtain a dense sintered body. Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient and the mechanical strength were decreased. In this study, mullite, which has good mechanical properties in high temperature and comparatively low thmeral expansion coefficient, was taken as a additive in LAS system. And then, sintering, thermal, and mechanical properties were investigated. The results are follows; When mullite is added in eucryptite composition (Li2O.Al2O3.2SiO2) of LAS system, the creation of liquid phase results in the densification of sintered body and the specimen sintered at 136$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours shows optimum sintering condition. With the addition of mullite in eucryptite composition, mechanical strength is increased by the control of grain growth. Especially, flexual strength of EM0 specimen was about double value than the basic composition. Thermal expansion coefficients of EM0 and EM15 specimens sintered at 136$0^{\circ}C$ were -8.23$\times$10-6/$^{\circ}C$ and -4.90$\times$10-6/$^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of RT.~80$0^{\circ}C$. As the mullite content are increased, negative thermal expansion ratios are decreased.
