Ceramic materials have become essential due to their high durability, chemical stability, and excellent thermal stability in various advanced industries such as aerospace, automotive, and semiconductor. However, high-performance ceramic materials face limitations in commercialization due to the high cost of raw materials and complex manufacturing processes. Aluminum borate (Al₁₈B₄O₃₃) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its superior mechanical strength and thermal stability, despite its simple manufacturing process and low production cost. In this study, we propose a method for producing Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ spherical powder with increased uniformity and high flowability by controlling the particle size of B₂O₃. The content ratio of the manufactured Al18B4O33 spherical powder was Al2O3: B2O3 = 87:13, and it exhibited a 17% reduction in the Hausner ratio (1.04) and a 29% decrease in the angle of repose (23.9°) compared to pre-milling conditions, demonstrating excellent flowability.

In this study, the porous ceramic filter was developed to be able to remove both dust and hazardous gas contained in fuel gas at high temperature. The porous ceramic filters were fabricated and used as a catalyst support. And the effects have been investigated such as the mean particle size, organic content and addition of foaming agent on the porosity, compressive strength and pressure drop of ceramic filters. With the increase of mean powder size and the organic content for the cordierite filter, the porosity was increased, but the compressive strength and pressure drop were decreased. From the results of the research, the optimum condition for the fabrication of ceramic filters could be acquired and they had the porosity of 58%, the compressive strength of 13.4 MPa and the pressure drop of 250 Pa. It was expected that this ceramic filter was able to be applied to the glass melting furnace, combustor, and dust/toxic gas removal filter.

The W/O emulsion was formed by mixing hydrophobic nonion surfactants of span 80 and tween 60 with kerosine, and by adding sodium silicate aqueous solution. Precipitating the W/O emulsion by sodium bicarbonate resulted in spherical silica particles. Shape and size distribution of silica particles were observed. The particles were spherical and they have narrow size distribution. Particle sizes were 9.29, 7.39 and 5.73 μm at homogenizer speed of 2500, 3000, and 3500 rpm, respectively. The particle size was decreased by increasing agitation speed due to the formation of emulsion droplet. At fixed agitation speed, absorbed paraffin oil weight were measured and the SiO2/Na2O mole ratio effects on particle size were investigated. Particle size was decreased by increasing the mole ratio of SiO2/Na2O.

PDP용 녹색 형광체의 발광특성을 개선시키기 위해 고안된 액상의 화학적 합성법을 사용하여 조성식이 Zn2-x SiO4:xMn(x=0.05, 0.08)인 형광체를 입자크기가 0.5~2μm로 조절하여 제조하였다. 제조된 형광체 입자는 구상이며 잘 분산된 형상을 봉주었고, 고상반응법에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 1080˚C에서 willemite구조의 단일상을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 진공 자외선 영역의 147 nm의 여기원을 사용하여 광발광 특성을 조사하였다. 입자의 크기가 1μm이고 Mn의 도핑양이 8mole%일 때, 상용 형광체와 비교하여 발광세기는 약 40% 향상되었고 색좌표는 x=0.24, y=0.69로 거의 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 측정된 형광체의 잔광시간은 7.8ms이었다.

Sheet형 전파흡수체를 제조하고 그들의 전자파 흡수 특성을 조사하였다. 제조된 ferrite 흡수체의 흡수특성은 2.4~3.2GHz의 주파수범위에서 입자크기의 감소에 따라 개선되었다.
