Impedance spectroscopy was applied to the initial hydration of calcium phosphate bone cements in order to investigate the electrical/dielectric properties. Hydration or equivalently setting was monitored as a function of the amount of water and initial powder characteristics. Higher amounts of water produced more open microstructures, leading to higher conductivity and enhanced dielectric constant. The effects of the initial characteristics in the powder were investigated using bone cement powder prepared with and without granulation. Granulated powder exhibited a significant change in resistance and produced a higher dielectric constant than those of conventional powder. Through a simplified modeling, the effects of thickness in reaction products and pore sizes were estimated by the frequency-dependent impedance measurements. Furthermore, impedance spectroscopy was proven to be a highly reliable tool for evaluating the continuous change in pore structure occurring in calcium phosphate bone cements.

Porous alumina was fabricated from pressureless powder packing forming method using powders granulated by spray drying. It was investigated the pore size distribution of fabricated porous alumina. The results of microstructural observation showed that intraganular pore size and intragranular pore size. At 1700$^{\circ}C$ there were no intragranular pores but it showed homogeneous distribution of intergranular pore size. The bending strength and shrinkage increased as porosity decreased. In case of thermal shock resistance sudden decrease of bending strength to $\Delta$T was not shown because intergranular large pore prevented sudden crack propagation.

Intensive technological research on the Dry-bag CIP equipment was carried out to improve the dimensional accuracy and the productivity. The rubber mold design technology using FEM simulation during pressing was introduced, in order to achieve higher dimensional preciseness, and criteria for the selection of the In-line type or Off-line type, were established based on the powder flowability index proposed by Carr. Based on these research results, high productivity Off-line Dry-bag CIP equipment, which can realize good dimensional accuracy with high productivity, was developed even for non-granulated powders with poor packing density.

In this study, to increase fluidity and resistance of segregation of materials, the effect of each of the materials, which have effects on high performance concrete from investigating the properties of strength and drying shrinkage of high performance concrete made by the basic mix proportion used fly-ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag after hardening, has been checked. According to the experimental results, fluidity on W/C = 34% was satisfied within slump-flow 65$\pm$ 5cm and U-type self-compactability difference 5cm. On the properties of strength, high performance concrete produced compressive strength over 400kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in 28days when powder was replaced by 40% of fly-ash and 60% of ground granulated blast-furnace slag. And compressive strength was taken over 600kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ equal to non-replacement in 91days. Also, the length change of concrete with the addition of fly-ash was smaller than that without it. Therefore, it may be effective on the decrease of drying shrinkage volume.

High strength cement hardened body was prepared by ordinary portland cement, silica-fume, super-plasticizer and the industrial by-product powder such as tailing, paper sludge ash and granulated slag. These raw materials were mixed and formed with w/c=0.18. The cement hardened body is cured in the autoclave at 18$0^{\circ}C$, 10atm. These admixtures made the compressive strength of all specimens develope by 170~230%. The highest compressive strength could be obtained by 236 MPa when mix composition was 14 wt% of silica-fume and 26 wt% of granulated slag. The compressive strength increased with decreasing the average pore size and the amount of the poe over the size of 50 nm by which the appearance of high compressive strength of the cement hardened body were mainly influenced. In the result, the hydration products were C-S-H, tobermorite and ettringite and it was realized that the reason why the cement hardened body became dense and revealed the higher strength was that those hydrates were formed inside of the pore and filled in it and the unhydrated materials played the role of an inner-filler.

The geopolymer technique may be a future-oriented technology for saving energies and resources. This technique requires 3 fundamental elements so-called filler, hardener and geopolymer liquor being generally an alkaline silicate solution. Quartz powder, water quenched granulated blast furnace slag and sodium silicate solution prepared from $Na_2O\cdot2SiO_2$were chosen for these three elements. After mixing these starting materials in appropriate proportions, monoliths were prepared by casting at room temperature. Strength tests showed the following results for 28d age speciment: 7.9-12.7 MPa in flexural strength and 20.2-32.8 MPa in compressive strength, depending on geopolymer liquor/solid ratio, P/S and fineness of the quartz powders used.

Prunus mume is said to aid in the recovery of fatigue and improvement of liver and stomach functions. To obtain the best benefits of the whole fruit, fresh green Prunus mume was de-seeded and the fruit pulp was vacuum dried. The vacuum-dried pulp was powdered and sieved through a 250 ${\mu}m$ sieve. Then the sieved green Prunus mume powder (GPP) was granulated with water (GPPGW) and with Prunus mume extract (GPPGE) with a fluid bed coater. The physicochemical and sensory properties of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE were then evaluated. As a result, the water dispersibility (dispersible time) of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE was 21.19 sec, 6.46 sec, and 4.85 sec, respectively. The powder fluency (angle of repose) of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE was $11.25^{\circ}$, $8.65^{\circ}$, and $9.52^{\circ}$, respectively. The overall consumer acceptance of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE was 3.50, 4.62 and 5.00, respectively. Inconclusion, Prunus mume can be used as granulated whole fruit pulp with good powder fluency and dispersibility.

Recently in Korea, may workers have reported the effects of the granulated blast furnace slag[BFS] of high fineness on the strength development of slag cement. We have studied the effect of slag fineness on the strength development of mortar with curing conditions, in order to get the basic data of high strength concrete using BFS. In this paper, we discussed the effects of slag fineness and porosity of mortar and the reaction of slag in hardened slag cement.

Recently, environmental problems have emerged as a major issue all over the world due to an increase in carbon dioxide(CO₂). The amount of CO₂ generated during cement production accounts for 6% to 8% of domestic CO₂ emissions and a solution to reduce CO₂ emissions the construction industry is trying to use mineral admixtures to reduce cement. Since digestion has no firing process the advantage of it is that there is no air pollution to occur. In this study, we studied the compressive strength of binary non-cement mortar containing rice husk powder extracted from digestion by the ratio of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%. As a result, the table flow was increased when the mixing rate of rice husk powder extracted from digestion was higher, and the highest compressive strength was shown when the rice husk powder extracted from digestion mixing rate was 10%.
