A composite copper coated powder was generated by pressure hydrogen stripping copper from Kelex 100 solvent extractant in the presence of silica powder. Within the limitation of solvent extraction under constant conditions, both loading level and stripping rate were reproducible. The stripping copper kinetics are reduced from a divalent state to a metallic state and then deposited on the surface of the silica powder. Copper nucleates heterogeneously on the seed particles. They are giving an agglomerated and non - uniform powder.

To apply diamond films in microelectromechanical systems(MEMS), it is necessary to develop the patterning technologies of diamond films in the micrometer scale. In this paper, three different kinds of technologies for patterning CVD diamond films carried out by us were demonstrated: selective growth by improved diamond nucleation in DC bias-enhanced microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) system, selective growth of seeding using diamond-particle-mixed photoresist, and selective etching of oxygen ion beam using Al as the mask. It was show that high selectivity and precise patterns had been achieved, and all the processes were compatible with IC process.

Strip drawing of strain-hardening, viscoplastic materials with damage is analyzed by a rigid plastic finite element method. A process model is formulated using two state variables, one for strain hardening from slip dominated plastic distortion and the other for damage from growth of microvoids. Application of the model to steady state drawing is given via implementation in a consistent penalty finite element formulation. The predicted density changes as a result of void growth are compared to those from experiments reported in the literature. The effects of drawing conditions such as drawing speed and die angle on the mechanical property changes are studied.

The initial sintering behaviour of the powder injection molded (PIMed) W-l5wt%Cu nanocomposite powder was investigated. The W-Cu nanocomposite powder was produced by the mechanochemical process consisting of high energy ball-milling and hydrogen reduction of W blue powder-CuO mixture. Solid state sintering of the powder compacts was conducted at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2~10 hours in hydrogen at mosphere. The sintering behaviour was examined and discussed in terms of microstructural developments such as W-Cu aggregate formation, pore size distribution and W grain growth. The volume shrinkage of PIM specimen was slightly larger than that of PM(conventional PM specimen), being due to fast local densification in the PIM. Remarkable decrease of carbon and oxygen in the PIM enhanced local densification in the early stage of solid state sintering process with eliminating very fine pores less than 10 nm. In addition, such local densiflcation in the PIM is presumably responsible for mitigating of W-grain growth in the initial stage.

Epitaxial Pb(Zr, Ti)O3(PZT) thin films were prepared on MgO(100) substrates by dipping-pyrolysis (DP) process using metal naphthenates as starting materials, and effects of pyrolysis and final heat-treatment conditions on the film's orientation were investigated. Solid-state epitaxial growth of PZT proceeds at lower temperature around 650℃ from the precursor pyrolyzed at 350 and 500℃. The in-plane alignment of the PZT films depends not only on the final heat-treatment temperature but on the pyrolysis conditions; the films, pyrolyzed at a higher temperature for a short time, i.e., at 500℃ for 10 min, exhibited stronger orientation after the same final heat treatment at 650°∼750℃. The PZT films with the strongest orientation were prepared by pyrolysis under the above conditions followed by final heat treatment at 750℃.

Electron transport properties of nanostructured Pb thin film, consisting of grains, have been studied. Nanostructured thin films were fabricated on a substrate held at low temperature and their thicknesses were less than 10nm. While temperature of the film increased from 1.3 K to room temperature, the change in normal state sheet resistance has been measured. As the annealing temperature varies, the normal state sheet resistance shows a non-monotonic and irreversible change. Such behavior can be understood with the Pb grain growth due to annealing of the film.

NdAl3(BO3)4 have been developed for miniature solid state laser material. Single crystals of NdAl3(BO3)4 were grown by TSSG technique using BaB4O7 flux. The effects of growth conditions such as cooling rate, seed orientation and rotation speed on crystal quality and the morphology were studied. At the cooling rate of 2.4$^{\circ}C$/day and the crystal rotation speed of 30~40rpm with the seed orientation in <201> or <100> directions, transparent and light violet colored crystals in size of 10$\times$15$\times$20㎣ with well developed {010}, {111}, {111}, {021}, {001}, {102}, {112}, {021} faces were obtained. By X-ray diffraction analysis, the space group was determined as C2/c, and the X-ray powder data was obtained.

In Cubic ZrO2 crystal growth by Skull method, it was examined on effect of homonization on melt as keeping ZrO2(90mol%)-Y2O3(10mol%) melt with 1hr, 2hr, 4hrs, 8hrs, 16hrs, respectively. The optimum homonizing condition in this system was obtained by the examination between quality of grown crystals and soaking time of melt. It was obtained that the lower quality crystal could be produced in the longer holding melt than the optimum soaking time of melt in spite of the supposedly well homonized state, because the melt stability is sensibly dependent on the convective state of melt in skull method (cold crucible process).

A mathematical model has been developed for describing the oxygen concentration during the exponential growth of microorganisms, in a static solid substrate bed supported on a tray fermentor. The model equations comprise of one partial differential equation for mass transfer and an ordinary differential equation of growth. After nondimensionlisation, analytical solution tn the model has been obtained by the method of Laplace transforms. An expression for critical thickness of bed is deduced from the model equation. The significance of the model in the design of tray fermentors is discussed. The validity of the discussion is verified by taking an illustration from the literature.

Nano-structured tungsten carbide compacts with cobalt matrices (WC-Co) offer new opportunities for achieving superior hardness and toughness combinations. A unified modeling and simulation tool has been developed to produce maps of sintering pathways from nanocrystalline WC powder to sintered nano-structured WC-Co compacts. This tool includes (1) die compaction, (2) grain growth, (3) densification, (4) sensitivity analysis, and (5) optimization. All material parameters were obtained by curve fitting based on results with two WC-Co powders. Critical processing parameters are determined based on sensitivity analysis and are optimized to minimize grain size with high density.
