The controlled Ti(CO2H5)4 hydrolysis reactions for the synthesis of Spherical Monodispersed Titania powders are described. Increasing the concentration of TEOT and the molar ratio of water to TEOT in alcohol solution decrease the reaction time and the particle size. The reaction time is delalyed by increasing the chain length and the number of carbon branches of alcohol as a solvent. The prepared powders with an average diameter of 0.8μ and the spherical monodispersed transfer to Rutile phase at 550℃.

Submicrometer, monosized ceramic powder of $Al_2TiO_5$$Al_2O_3$ ethanolic solutions. All particles produced by sol-gel-process were amprphous, monodispersed and with a narrow particle-size distribution. Compacts fired above $1300^{\circ}C$ formed aluminium titanate. Mullite formed first at $1480^{\circ}C$. After decomposition test at $1100^{\circ}C$, and cyclic thermal decomposition test at 750-1400-$750^{\circ}C$ for 100hrs., aluminium titanate was well stablized by composition with mullite.

In order to synthesize monodispersed spherical silica fine particles, we investigated the reaction of hydrolysis of 0.05∼4.0 mole Si(OC2H5)4-0.01∼7.60mole NH3 -0.24∼38.40 mole H2O-2.62∼16.88mole C2H5OH systems. The range of the composition of solution which spherical silica particles were formed was enlarged according to an increase in concentration of Si(OC2H5)4. Larger particles were obtained at higher molar ratios of Si(OC2H5)4/C2H5OH, NH3/H2O and H2O/Si(OC2H5)4 and at a lower reaction temperature.

Monodispersed carbon nanospheres (CNSs) were fabricated by a novel method and their structural properties were investigated. CNSs were prepared by the pyrolysis of nanospherical polystyrenes (PS). With the coating of $SiO_2$ shell, PS particles were effectively separated during pyrolysis process which resulted to CNSs with an average diameter of 40 nm. Moreover, CNSs could be crosslinked with each other through the bondings between the functional groups on their surfaces. Morphology of the fabricated carbon spheres and their crosslinked form were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

In synthesizing hydrated zirconia powder by hydrolysis of Zr-alkoxides using ethanol as mutual solvent, three experimental parameters, namely, concentration of alkoxides and hydrolysis water and addition rate of hydrolysis water were varied systematically. Spherical, monodispersed, nonagglomerated and submicrometer sized powders were prepared at 0.3 M of Zr(n-OPr)4 and 0.05M of Zr(n-OBu)4 with wide ranges of hydrolysis water conditions i.e. 0.5-2.0M concentration and 1-20ml/min addition rate. During the hydrolsis, careful attention have to be paid to maintain homogeneous reaction by controlling the agitation of the reactant and the addition of the hydrolysis water. For more improved condition of monodispersity it was found that the key point is to shorten the self-nucleation time within several seconds as rapid as possible. In both alkoxides system, with higher concentration of alkoxide and hydrolysis water and with slow addition rate of hydrolysis water, hydrated zirconia powders synthesized showed tendency to fall in worse powder conditions.

In this study, block copolymer of polystyrene and polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate(PEGMA) by ATRP(atom transfer radical polymerization) method was synthesized. 4 arm-molecule which contained halogen atom was synthesized for an initiator. With 4 arm-molecule monodispered polystyrene were synthesized by ATRP method. The molecular change of synthesized monodispersed polystyrene with respect to time was investigated and living polymer characteristic was confirmed. Block copolymer of polystyrene and polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate(PEGMA) was synthesized by ATRP with macroinitiator which was synthesized from the monodispersed polystyrene(Mn=12000). The molecular weight of obtained PS-b-PEGMA was 22,000.

To fabricate dental nanocomposites containing finely dispersed silica nanoparticles, nearly monodispersed silica nanoparticles smaller than 25 nm were synthesized without forming any aggregates via a modified sol-gel process. Since silica nanoparticles synthesized by the Stober method formed aggregates when the particle size is smaller than 25 nm, the synthetic method was modified by changing the reaction temperature and adding poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone) (PVP) to the reaction mixture. The size of the formed silica nanoparticles was reduced by increasing the reaction temperature or adding PVP. Furthermore, the formation of aggregates with primary silica nanoparticles smaller than 25 nm was prevented by increasing the amount of PVP added to the reaction mixture. To enhance the dispersion of the silica particles in an organic matrix, the synthesized silica nanoparticles were treated with 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane ($\gamma$-MPS). A dental nanocomposite containing finely dispersed silica nanoparticles could be produced by using the surface-treated silica nanoparticles.

Monodispersed alumina and Mg-doped alumina fine particles were prepared by controlled hydrolysis of alkoxides. Aluminium alkoxide and magnesium alkoxide were dissolved into complex solvent which was composed of hydrophobic n-octanol and hydrophilic acetonitrile. Hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC) was used as a dispersant for the alumina particles. The size of these prepared powders was approximately 0.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In the case of sintering above 100$0^{\circ}C$, most of these prepared powders were transformed to $\alpha$-alumina. The relative density of the sintered body of these prepared powders at 1$600^{\circ}C$ was 98%. The sintered body of the Mg-doped alumina powder had more uniform grain size than that of the undoped alumina podwer.

ZrO2 fine powders were prepared by hydrolysis, adding 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6mol/1H2O/ethanol to 0.1 mol/l Zr(OC3H7)4/ethanol. When hydrolized by adding 0.1mol/l Zr(OC3H7)4/ethanol to 0.1, 0.2mol/l H2O/ethanol., spherical monodispersed ZrO2 fine powders were obtained. And in this condition average sizes were about 0.5, 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. The more H2O/ethanol concentration increased, the more the particle size decreased and the particles were agglomerated strongly. Prepared powders were amorphous and hydrates. The calcined powders with 43$0^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$ were showed tetragonal and monoclinic phase, respectively.

3 mol% Y2O3-doped ZrO2 powders were prepared by hydrolysis with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 mol/ιH2O/ethanol into 0.1 mol/ι zirconium and yttrium alkoside/ethanol. Spherical monodispersed yttria-partially stabilized zirconia particles with an average diameter of about 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were prepared by hydrolysis with 0.2 mol/ιH2O/ethanol. The as-prepared powder was amorphous and with heating it transformed into cubic up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ and into tetragonal over 100$0^{\circ}C$. 3 mol% Y2O3-doped ZrO2 powders calcined over and up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ were a mixture of tetragonal and monoclinic and only tetragonal as determined by X-ray diffraction, respectively.
