Foaming method is presented the preparation of porous materials from high-concentrated kaolin silica and flyash slurries. The slurries were foamed dried and sintered respectively. The porosity of sintered ma-terials was about 70-75% Mean pore-size was the range of 70-150$\mu\textrm{m}$ and pore structure was continuous Sodium lauryl sulfate anionic surfactant was used as a foaming agent. The foaming ability and the froth sta-bility were increased with increasing the concentration of the foaming agent. But the size of the constituent bubble of froth after foaming process was not affected by the concentration of the foaming agent. These results showed that the mean pore-size of sintered materials was closely related to the froth stability which is related to the change of bubble-size during the drying process.

The effect of oven firing on the color stability and surface texture of extrinsic stains used characterization and color modification of metal cermic restoration were studied by comparing different temperatures and techniques. They were autoglaze technique, applied glaze technique, two step low-fusing glaze technique and one step low-fusing glaze technique. Autoglaze technique and applied glaze technique were air-fired to manufacturer's recommended temperature. Two step low-fusing glaze technique is separated staining and overglazing. Thin slurry of stain powder were air-fired to $1500^{\circ}F$, Overglaze powder powder was then mixed with seam medium and air-fired to $170^{\circ}F$. One step low-fusing glaze technique is combined staining and overglazing. Thin slurry of stain and glaze powder were air-fired to $170^{\circ}F$. The obtained results were as fellows. 1. Slightly significant color differences by colorimeter were found between different stain application and fusion techniques(P<0.05). 2. Two step low-fusing glaze method showed the most rough surface, especially ceramco orage stain(P<0.05). 3. Surface roughness increased gradually in order of autoglaze, applied glaze, one step low-fusing glaze but they were not significantly different(P<0.05). 4. When two step low-fusing glaze was applied, both color measurement and surface texture were sinificantly different from other groups(P<0.05).

실트폰드는 크기가 55만평의 인공연못 안에 두께가 3~20m의 초연약점토가 침전되어 있었다. 1990년대 중반에 매립이 시작되었다. 매립 전 시료채취 및 다양한 종류의 원위치시험을 수행하였다. 실트폰드에 침전되어 있는 흙은 극도로 연약하기 때문에 모래 포설장비를 이용하여 모래를 전 지역에 균등하게 살포하였다. 대단히 주의 깊은 시공에도 불구하고 모래 포설시 대규모 전단파괴가 발생하였다. 따라서 파괴지역에 보강을 위하여 가로가 900m이고 세로가 700m인 고강도 보강매트를 포설한 후 재차 모래를 포설하여 매립을 완료하였다. 매립의 성공은 수중 콘관입시험으로 확인하였다.

A tritium breeder is a lithium-based material capable of producing tritium. Many researchers designing nuclear-fusion energy are studying tritium production using pebbles, which are solid-type breeders. The sphericity and size of the pebbles are critical in obtaining pebbles with good tritium-breeding efficiency. Furthermore, tritium-release efficiency can be increased by using pebbles with appropriate porosities. Promising raw materials for tritium-breeding materials include Li₄SiO₄ and Li₂TiO₃. Li₄SiO₄ has a higher lithium density than Li₂TiO₃ and exhibits excellent tritium-breeding efficiency. However, it has the disadvantage of being easily decomposed during the Li₄SiO₄-green-pebble sintering process because of its low structural stability at high temperatures and high lithium density. In this study, we attempted to determine the optimal conditions for manufacturing Li₄SiO₄ pebbles using the droplet-freeze-drying method. The optimal Li₄SiO₄ slurry conditions and sintering temperatures were determined. The optimal Li₄SiO₄ slurry-fabrication conditions were 3 wt% polyvinyl alcohol and 75 wt% Li₄SiO₄ based on the deionized-water weight content. The sintering temperature at which Li₄SiO₄ did not decompose and exhibited the optimum porosity of 10.8% was 900 ℃.

Four types of foaming agents, including Alcohol Ethoxy Sulfate (AES), Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS), Vegetable Soap (VS), and Fe-Protein (FP), are widely used in the construction field. These have different surface tensions and viscosities in water of the same concentration, affecting the flow speed of liquid, size and distribution of foam, and foam stability. However, there is a lack of data regarding the properties of foam concrete using various foam agents. The purpose of this study is to investigate influence of foaming agents on the properties of foamed concretes with various densities. We find that the foaming agent type has little effect on the density, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity of foam concrete, but considerably affects the unit weight of foam, flow and flexural strength of foamed concrete. While almost all properties of foam concrete are affected by density in fresh or hardened state, the potential energy changed by slurry density and the viscosity of foam are dominant factors in the flowability of foam slurry.

Ceramics have some properties that are unmatched by other kind of materials like metals or polymers. The ability of high thermal and chemical resistance and in case of being superior in specific mechanical properties makes the ceramic materials suitable for arange of applications. The microstructure and morphology of a material arguably permit the use of many advanced application otherwise difficult to achieve.Porous structures have some important applications in biomedical and environmental field. For human hard tissue reconstruction and augmentation procedure suitable biomaterials are used with a desirable porosity. A range of porous bioceramics were fabricated with tailored design to meet the demand of specific applications. Channeled and interconnected porosity was introduced in alumina, zirconia, and hydroxyapatite or tri calcium phosphate ceramics by different methods like multi-pass extrusion process, bubble formation in viscous slurry,slurry dripping in immiscible liquid, sponge replica method etc. The detailed microstructural and morphological investigations were carried out to establish the unique features of each method and the developed systems. For environmental filters the porous structures were also very important. We investigated a range of channeled and randomly porous silicon based ceramic composites to enhance the material stability and filtration efficiency by taking advantage of the material chemistry of the element. Detailed microstructural and mechanical characterizations were carried out for the fabricated porous filtration systems.

Thermophilic anaerobic digestion (TAD) is characterized by higher biogas production rates as a result of assumedly faster microbial metabolic conversion rates compared to mesophilic AD. It was hypothesized that the thermophilic microbiome with its lower diversity than the mesophilic one is more susceptible to disturbances introduced by alterations in the operating factors, as an example, the supply of nitrogen-rich feedstock such as poultry manure (PM). Laboratory scaled TAD experiments using cattle slurry and increasing amounts of PM were carried out to investigate the (in-) stability of the process performance caused by the accumulation of ammonium and ammonia with special emphasis on the microbial community structure and its dynamic variation. The results revealed that the moderate PM addition, i.e., 25% (vol/vol based on volatile substances) PM, resulted in a reorganization of the microbial community structure which was still working sufficiently. With 50% PM application, the microbial community was further stepwise re-organized and was able to compensate for the high cytotoxic ammonia contents only for a short time resulting in consequent process disturbance and final process failure. This study demonstrated the ability of the acclimated thermophilic microbial community to tolerate a certain amount of nitrogen-rich substrate.

The rise throughput and the stability in the device fabrication can be obtained by applying chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process in 0.18 ${\mu}m$ semiconductor device. However it does have various problems due to the CMP equipment. Especially, among the CMP components, process variables are very important parameters in determining removal rate and non-uniformity. In this paper, We studied the DOE(design of experiment) method for the optimized CMP process. Various process variations, such as table and head speed, slurry flow rate and down force, have investigated in the viewpoint of removal rate and non-uniformity. Through the above DOE results, we could set-up the optimal process parameters.

Plate-shaped inorganic particles are coated onto a stainless steel substrate by the electrophoretic deposition of a precursor slurry which includes the inorganic particles of $Al_2O_3$ and polymer resin in mixed solvents to mimic the abalone shell structure, which is a composite of plate-shaped inorganic particles and organic interlayer binding materials with a layered orientation. The process parameters of the electrophoretic deposition include the voltage, coating time, and conductivity of the substrate. In addition, the suspension parameters are the particle size, concentration, viscosity, conductivity, and stability. We prepared an organic-inorganic composite coating with a high inorganic solid content by arraying the plate-shaped $Al_2O_3$ particles and electrophoretic resin via an electrophoretic deposition method. We analyzed the effect of the slurry composition and the electrophoretic deposition process parameters on the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of the coating layer, i.e., the thickness, density, particle orientation, Young's modulus and thermogravimetric analysis results.

In this study, the rise throughput and the stability in fabrication of device can be obtained by applying of CMP process to STI structure in 0.18um semiconductor device. To employ in STI CMP, the reverse moat process has been added thus the process became complex and the defects were seriously increased. Removal rates of each thin films in STI CMP was not equal hence the devices must to be effected, that is, the damage was occured in the device dimension in the case of excessive CMP process and the nitride film was remained on the device dimension in the case of insufficient CMP process than these defects affect the device characteristics. To resolve these problems, the development of slurry for CMP with high removal rate and high selectivity between each thin films was studied then it can be prevent the reasons of many defects by reasons of many defects by simplification of process that directly apply CMP process to STI structure without the reverse moat pattern process.
