Hollow silica spheres were prepared by spray drying of precursor solution of colloidal silica. The precursor solution is composed of 10-20 nm colloidal silica dispersed in a water or ethanol-water mixture solvent with additives of tris hydroxymethyl aminomethane. The effect of pH and concentrations of the precursor and additives on the formation of hollow sphere particles was studied. The spray drying process parameters of the precursor feeding rate, inlet temperature, and gas flow rate are controlled to produce the hollow spherical silica. The mixed solvent of ethanol and water was preferred because it improved the hollowness of the spheres better than plain water did. It was possible to obtain hollow silica from high concentration of 14.3 wt% silica precursor with pH 3. The thermal conductivity and total solar reflectivity of the hollow silica sample was measured and compared with those values of other commercial insulating fillers of glass beads and $TiO_2$ for applications of insulating paint, in which the glass beads are representative of the low thermal conductive fillers and the $TiO_2$ is representative of infrared reflective fillers. The thermal conductivity of hollow silica was comparable to that of the glass beads and the total solar reflectivity was higher than that of $TiO_2$.

In Li0.4Ca0.05AlP0.5Si0.75O4.5 composition glass, glass-ceramic having a near 100% crystallinity after nucleation heat treatment of 74$0^{\circ}C$/2 h and crystallization heat treatment of 90$0^{\circ}C$/2 h and in-situ TiO2 whisker reinforced glass-ceramic after heat treatment of 105$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 h were fabricated with the addition of 4% TiO2 as a nucleating agent. With these materials a ball-on-disc type wear test was conducted in order to examine the effect of TiO2 whisker prepcipitation on ambient and high temperature wear properties of the glass-ceramic. Wear test results indicated that all specimens exhibited micro-fracture wear mechanism in ambient temperature. As temperature increased the wear rates of the materials were increased. However the in-situ TiO2 whisker reinforced glass-ceramic exhibited the lowest wear rate over the test temperature range. This resulted from the improvement of harness and fracture toughness of the material as the glass converted into the glass-ceramic followed by precipitation of TiO2 whiskers throughout the glass-ceramic matrix.

In recent days, perhaps the biggest driver in new material development is the desire to improve restorations esthetics compared to the traditional metal substructure based ceramics or all-ceramic restorations. Each material type performs differently regarding strength, toughness, effectiveness of machining and the final preparation of the material prior to placement. For example, glass ceramics are typically weaker materials which limits its use to single-unit restorations. On the other hand, zirconia has a high fracture toughness which enables multi-unit restorations. This material requires a long time sintering procedure which excludes its use for fast chair side production. Hybrid ceramic material developed for CAD/CAM system is contained improved nano ceramic elements. This new material, called a Resin Nano Hybrid Ceramic is unique in durability of function and aesthetic base compositions. The new nano-hybrid ceramic material is not a composite resin. It is also not a pure ceramic. The material is a mixture of both and consists of nano-ceramic fillers. Like a composite, the material is not brittle and is fracture resistant. Like a glass ceramic, the material has excellent polish retention for lasting esthetics. The material is easily machined by chair side or in a dental lab side, could be an useful restorative option.

Glass systems based on Ca, Sr, Ba, and Zn modified alumino-boro silicates were investigated in order to improve the dielectric and mechanical properties of a typical LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) which was developed for high frequency highly-integrated modules. The glass was prepared by a typical melting procedure and then mixed with cordierite fillers to fabricate glass/ceramic composite-type LTCC materials. The amount of cordierite filler was fixed at 50 volumetric%. For an optimal glass composition of 7.5% CaO, 7.5% BaO, 5% ZnO, 10% $Al_2O_3$, 30% $B_2O_3$, and 40% $SiO_2$ in mole ratio, the resultant LTCC composite showed a dielectric constant of 5.8 and a dielectric loss ($tan{\delta}$) of 0.0009 after firing at $900^{\circ}C$. An average bending strength of 160MPa was obtained for the optimal composition.

The average life span is over 80 years of age, and various biomaterials have being studied. Many research institutes and companies around the world have been commercializing bioactive glass through R&D, however, there is not much research in Korea. Most bioactive glass is applied to bone regeneration in powder form due to its excellent bio-compatibility. Recently, new applications such as scaffolds for tissue engineering and nerve regeneration have been found in composite form. The global market size is not as large as US $ 556 million in 2019, but the growth rate is very high at a CAGR of 14.35 %. This field is waiting for the challenge of new researchers.

Hertzian indentation tests with sphere indenters were used to study the mechanical properties of glass-in-filtrated alumina and spinel composites and evaluated the effect of preform microstructure and evaluated the effect of preform microstructure and glass con-tents on contanct damage and strength. The spinel composite showed more brittle behavior than the alumina composite which is verified from indentation stress-strain curve cone cracks and quasi-plastic deformation developed at subsurface. Failure originated from either cone cracks(brittle mode) or deformation zone(quasi-plastic mode) above critical load for cracking(Pc) and yield ({{{{ {P }_{Y } }}) with the brittle mode more dominant in the spinels and the quasi-plastic mode more dominant in the aluminas. Even though brittle mode was dominant in the spinel composites the strength degradation from accumulation of damage above these critical loads was conspicuously small suggesting that the glass-infiltrated composites should be highly damage tolerant to the blunt contacts.

고주파 모률에서 사용되는 기판소재는 저유전율과 낮은 loss 특성을 요구함으로 지속적인 연구를 필요로 한다. 지금까지의 ceramic/glass composite 에서 주로 사용된 ceramic filler는 Al2O3로 낮은 유전률을 구현에 한계가 있었다. Cordierite는 낮은 유전율 (${\varepsilon}_r$ < 4)을 나타내는 filler로서 그 가능성이 높지만 아직까지 보고된 결과들이 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 cordierite filler와 SiO2-B2O3-Al2O3-RO (R : Zn, Sr, Ba, Ca)계의 glass를 혼합하여 LTCC용 기판소재로서의 가능성을 확인하고자 저온 동시소성이 가능한 소결온도인 $850^{\circ}C{\sim}1.000^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 소재의 소결실험을 진행하였다. 소결온도에 따른 상변화, 유전특성을 확인한 결과 filler로 사용된 cordierite상만이 관찰 되었으며 소결조건에 따라 5.0~5.5의 낮은 유전율과 1.000~1,500의 Q를 나타내는 것을 확인 하였다.

For microelectronic packaging application, the crystallizable glass powder in CaO-$A1_2O_3-SiO_2-B_2O_3$system was mixed with various amounts of alumina inclusions (\approx 4 $\mu \textrm{m}$), and its sintering behavior, crystallization behavior, and dielectric constant were examined in terms of vol% of alumina and the reaction between the alumina and the glass. Sintering of the CASB glass powder alone at $900^{\circ}C$ resulted in full densification (99.5%). Sintering of alumina-filled composite at $900^{\circ}C$ also resulted in a substantial denslfication higher than 97% of theoretical density, In this case, the maximum volume percent of alumina should be less than 40%. XRD analysis revealed that there was a partial dissolution of alumina into the glass. This alumina dissolution, however, did not show the particle growth and shape accommodation. Therefore, the sintering of both the pure glans and the alumina-filled composite was mainly achieved by the viscous flow and the redistribution of the glass. Alumina dissolution accelerated the crystallization initiation time at $1000^{\circ}C$ and hindered the densification of the glass. Dielectric constants of both the alumina-filled glass and the glass-ceramic composites were increased with increasing alumina content and followed rule of mixture. In case of the glass-ceramic matrix composites showed relatively lower dielectric constant than the glass matrix composite. Furthermore, as alumina content increased, crystallization behavior of the glass was changed due to the reaction between the glass and the alumina. As alumina reacted with the glass matrix, the major crystallized phase was shifted from wollastonite to gehlenite. In this system, alumina dissolution strongly depended on the particle size: When the particle size of alumina was increased to 15 $\mu\textrm{m}$, no sign of dissolution was observed and the major crystallized phase was wollastonite.

공통의 glass를 이용한 LTCC 이종소재의 무수축 접합 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 2종의 상용 glass를 이용하여 소결온도를 변화시키면서 미세구조 및 결정구조, x-y축 방향의 수축율을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 GA-12 glass는 강유전체 $BaTiO_3$와 glass의 composite개념을 이용한 접합에 적절하지 않은 것으로 판단되었으며, GA-1 glass의 경우는 $750^{\circ}C$와 $800^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 glass의 충분한 침투조건이 확인되며, 결정구조 에서도 glass/$BaTiO_3$ composite이 형성되므로 layer 간의 delamination은 발견되지만 x-y축 방향의 무수축 접합의 가능성이 확인되었다.

A novel sintering process is proposed for bonding of $BaTiO_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ layers. Common commercial glass was used and infilterated among filler particles. As the kind of commercial glass, the phenomenon of the infilteration is different. Although Sud-1140 glass forms a glass/filler composite, it is not completely infilterated into the filler particles at $900^{\circ}C$. However as the increase of sintering temperature the infilteration of glass was improved. In this study, GA-1 and GA-12 glasses were infilterated the more than Sud-1140 glass. However, they are reacted by $BaTiO_3$ layer. The results of the experiment show that constrained sintering and the co-firing of the different materials were possible for glass infilteration using Sud-1140 glass at $1000^{\circ}C$.
