The Spray-ICP technique uses the ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma) of ultra-high temperature which is produced by r.f power. The ICP is well-kwown as a clean heat source for the preparation of pure ceramic particles because the ICP is a electrodeless-thermal plasma without contamination. In this study,{{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} particles were sythesized from metal salt solution by Spray-ICP technique. The effects of concentration of solution, collecting location of powders were investicated. The prepared {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} particles from each concentration of solution had same crystalline phase(tetragonal {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}}) a nd the mean size decreased in proportion to the increase of solution concentration. Each {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} p owders collector in reactor and electrostatic collector had same crystalline phase and morphologies. The mean size of {{{{ { SnO}_{2 } }}}} p articles prepared by Spray-ICP technique was below 30nm.

$BaTiO_3$ powders doped with $BaTiO_3$ and $Nb_2O_5$ at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. were synthesized by Direct Wet Process. These powders were very homogeneous and fine particle size. To obtain the highe PTCR effect AST($1/3Al_2O_3$.$3/4SiO_2$.$1/4TiO_2$) and $MnO_2$ were added in the semiconduc-ting $BaTiO_3$. In this case $Bi_2O_3$ and $MnO_2$ were used in the form of $Bi(NO)_3$ and $MnCl_2$.$4H_2O$ solution for Direct Wet Process. $BaTiO_3$ doped Nb2O5 and $MnO_2$ demostrated greater PTCR effect than $BaTiO_3$ doped $Nn_2O_5$ only.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp)-zirconia bioceramics, which have excellent biocompatibility with tissue of bone and tooth and good mechanical properties, were synthesized, and their properties and biocompatibility were investigated. HAp powders were synthesized with Ca/P=1.67 and pH 11 by precipitation method. A fine spherical monodispersed ZrO2 powders were prepared by metal alkoxide method, and then they were partially stabilized with 10 mol% CaO by solid state reaction at 1300℃. HAp-zirconia composites were prepared by sintering of these HAp mixed with various amount CaO-partially stabillized zirconia (PSZ). When HAp containing 15 wt% PSZ with 10 mol% CaO (PSZ(10C)) were sintered at 1250℃, it was prevented to decompose into TCP and ZrO2 was uniformly dispersed at HAp matrix. Mechanical strength of these sintered bodies were increased by addition of 15 wt% PSZ(10C), the bending strength of compacts fired at 1250℃ was 165 MPa. HAp-PSZ composites chemically bonded each other in Ringer's solution and the component of bonded layer was HAp. These composites did not prevent cell-growing and exhibit any cytotoxic effects.

Ultrafine calcim carbonate powders with the size of 0.05~0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the calcite phase were prepared by the nozzle spouting method which was conducted by spouting calcium hydroxide slurry in reactor filled with CO2 gas. Well dispersed ultra-fine particles were synthesized in condition of high Ca(OH)2 concentration of the slurry ( 0.5wt%) synthesized calcium carbonate powder was shown the large particle size with agglo-meration.

The preparation of Y-doped $SrZrO_3$powder by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis was investigated as a representative system, in order to produce fine, single phase multicomponent oxide powders. A precursor solution containing metal nitrates, citric acid and ethylene glycol was atomized glycol was atomized with an ultrasonic spray nozzle. Gel particles formed by organic functional groups were pyrolyzed and subsequently calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ to obtain well-crystallized, single perovskite phase. Most of large particles exhibited macroscopic pores and weak agglomeration between primary particles. However, strong agglomeration was observed in the surfaces of large particles. The effect of the microstructures of these particles on size reduction to submicron particles was described.

Fine Si-Al-OH-C coprecipitate powders were prepared from Si(OC2H5)4, Al(i-OC3H7)3, and carbon black by a hydrolysis method before fabrication of Sialon-SiC composite powder by carbothermal reduction at 1350$^{\circ}C$ for 10h under N2/H2 mixed atmosphere. The characterization of the synthesized Sialon-SiC composite powders was performed using XRD, BET, SEM, TEM and particle size analysis methods. The average particle size and specific surface area of the synthesized Sialon-SiC composite powder were 0.13$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 20.1㎡/g, respectively when Z=1 and N2 : H2=50 : 50.

Extremely fine $TiO_2$ powders were synthesized from titanium chloride by the precipitation and freeze drying method. The phase transformation and electrical conductivity were investigated as a function of temperature. X-ray analysis showed that the phase transformation of the synthesized powder from the anatase to rutile occured at 64$0^{\circ}C$ and finished at 92$0^{\circ}C$ due to small particle size and large specific surface area. The activation energy obtained from electrical conductivity vs. temperature was about 1.63eV. This relatively large value was due to porosity in the specimen.

Ultra-fine copper powders with particle size about 150 nm were synthesized from copper hydroxide slurry by wet method using hydrazine as reduction agent and several sur factants at below $80^{\circ}C$. The particle size distribution and dispersion of synthesized powders as function of temperature, feeding rate of reduction and especially, sur factants were character ized by XRD, BET, PSA and SEM by this process.

It is widely recognized that conventional means for determining the minimum ignition energy(MIE) of powder are time-consuming and require operational skill. As a variety of new fine powders are being produced day by day in industry, there is an urgent need to a quicker and more economical means to measure MIE. To meet this requirement, we have developed a measurement system which employs a novel method to create an air/dust mixture in a miniature combustion box. In this system, the powder to be tested input into a hopper made of metal mesh, and successively fed downward to form a thin, curtain-like dust/air mixture by vibration. With this new apparatus, three type of powders -Lycopodium, Anthraquinone, and Polyacrylonitrile-were tested and the MIE data were compared with those taken with a conventional apparatus(the Hartmann tube). Two of them agreed satisfactory, but the other, anthraquinone, showed quite different values supposedly due to the agglomeration of the powder particles by static-charge.

A very fine and pure mullite powder of the stoichiometric composition was prepared from aluminium isopropoxide and tetraethylorthosilicate by an alkoxide hydrolysis method using NH4OH as a catalytic agent. The gel powder obtained from the hydrolysis was calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 125$0^{\circ}C$. The average particle sizes of the powders calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 125$0^{\circ}C$ were 0.19${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. The specific surface areas of the powders calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 125$0^{\circ}C$ were 114.7$m^2$/g and 20.6$m^2$/g, respectively. The bending strength and fracture toughness of the mullite ceramics sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ were 263.1MPa and 2.30MPa.m1/2 respectively.
