A large magnitude of pressure was hydrostatically applied on silica glass. After removing the compression pressure, the silica glass shows an increase in refractive index and also in density, which is corresponding to the pressure. X-ray photographs of the densified specimens indicate that the profile of scattering intensities of haloes are different from those of the normal silica glass. The position of the strongest intensity shifts toward the higher angle with increasing the compression pressure. The manner of the structure changes of silica glass with increasing the compression pressure is discussed based on the ring structure-model of the SiO
4 tetrahedra and the radial distribution functions calculated from the profiles of the scattered intensities.

Interaction energy between charged particles in submicron size range was calculated as a function of distance between particles or solid content for an aqueous colloidal system of monosize spherical particles. This calculation revealed the surface potential effect and particle size effect on the interaction energy. A metastable phase diagram for one-component colloidal system was constructed on the basis of the interaction energy between two charged particles. This phase diagram suggests that nature of colloidal suspensions of smaller particles approaches colloidal solid at lower solid contents.

Silicalite, considered to be a polymorph of SiO
2, was prepared hydrothermally using amorphous silica, tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPA-Br) and NaOH. Silicalite was synthesized in a quartz glass ampoule under the following conditions; [NaOH]/[SiO
2]=0.2 and [TPA-Br]/[SiO
2]=0.1. With an increase of [NaOH]/[SiO
2] ratio quartz precipitated gradually instead of silicalite; thus, at 0.9 of [NaOH]/[SiO
2] ratio, the main product was quartz irrespective of the presence of TPA
+ ion. Several ppms of aluminium and boron ions were always detected in the crystals. The extra addition of either of the two ions in the starting materials facilitated the formation of silicalite. Silicalite (or ZSM-5 of extra high silica content) is formed in a Pyrex glass ampoule or under the presence of Pyrex glass rods in a silica ampoule, though serious contamination (50-200ppm) by both ions is unavoidable.

A computer simulation of a Cold Isostatic Press (CIP) densified bodies was carried out to estimate the initial relative density and the coordination number which are important factors to elaborate HIP maps. First, the mean coordination number and the packing fraction of CIPped bodies were calculated.
Secondly, these values were compared to those of other simulations for unidirectional packing model. Two assumptions were used to simulate CIPped bodies. They were (a) all particles were rigid spheres of the same size, and (b) they were moved initially toward the center to contact three other particles.
The results were as follows:
(1) The relative density and the mean coordination number of simulated CIPped bodies are 0.56 and 6.5, respectively. The coordination number is higher than the value obtained for an unidirectional packing model.
(2) The present model gives a reasonable relative density and coordination number for a CIPped body.
(3) The relative density and the mean coordination number of simulated CIPped bodies give good agreement with the initial state used in the HIP maps.

Porous mullite ceramics were prepared from New Zealand kaolin with transition metal oxide (TiO
2, Fe
2O
3, CuO, CoO, or ZnO), fired at 1300°-1600°C, by leaching the glassy matrix with a 5N sodium hydroxide solution at 153°C under 5atm. Addition of the transition metal oxides was effective on the densification of the kaolin. Leaching rate evaluated by the depth of the leached layer of the sintered body decreased with an increase in firing temperature. However, formation of spinel phase in the ZnO- or CoO-containing sample suppressed the leaching rate. The growth of the needle mullite crystals became remarkable with an increase in the amount of the additives as well as sintering temperature, resulting in the enlargement of the average pore size in the range of 500 to 5100Å. Purity of the porous mullite ceramics was highest (99.6 wt%) for the sample with 5 wt% of CuO, fired at 1500°C for 1h.

These temperatures were found to be 100° to 300°C lower than that required to complete the sialon formation in mixed powders. After HlPing at the lowest temperature necessary for full densification, little grain growth was observed and maximum hardnesses of 16.5GPa (z=2) and 15.0GPa (z=3) were obtained. Fracture toughness was 3 to 4MPa⋅m

Recently, Ri, Hamano and Nakagawa have experimentally revealed adsorption effect transistor characteristics of ZnO sinters [Yogyo-Kyokai-Shi, 93, 230-36 (1985); Yogyo-Kyokai-Shi, 94, 419-24 (1986)]. These results are computationally simulated for the sinters having the local states of bulk donors, grain boundary interface acceptors, surface acceptors and thermally desorbable surface donors in conformity with Fermi-Dirac's law for electron occupation, Poisson's equation for potential distribution and charge neutrality condition. Each parameter of the local states is concurrently obtained within the reasonable value. The potential barrier at necks with radius larger than the surface Debye length is weirlikely formed because of the interface and so independent of the surface states (open-out necks). The potential barrier at necks with radius smaller than the surface Debye length is formed in the shape of a saddle because of both the surfaces and the interfaces and so depends on the neck radius and the surface states in addition to the interface states. The bulk resistivity of sinters is obtained by the effective medium approximation for random networks in consideration of the neck radius distribution. The clusters bonded by the open-out necks percolate always through the sinters above 85% in the relative density. On the basis of the above, the hysteresis of bulk resistivity and adsorption effect transistor responses to admission of propane gas are analyzed.

The defect size distribution of the monofilament in which several types of defects coexist, was theoretically derived using the competing risk theory and the fracture location theory. The defect size distribution indicated a similar form of the multimodal Weibull distribution. This was because the defect size had the one-to-one correspondence to the fracture stress. To apply this theory in practice, we conducted tensile tests of PAN-based carbon fibers. Observed defect sizes of PAN-based carbon fibers coincided with the theoretical distribution as a first approximation.

An investigation was made on the factors which affect the accuracy of the K
IC value for structural ceramics at high temperature region by single edge precracked beam (SEPB) method. A sharp pop-in precrack was introduced in a rectangular specimen of a polycrystalline alumina and silicon carbide by bridge indentation technique. The precracked specimens were fractured by three points bending with a cross-head speed of 0.5mm/min at a temperature from 800° to 1500°C in air. The precracked specimens were also fractured at room temperature after annealing at a temperature from 800° to 1600°C in air or vaccum. By comparing the K
IC values thus obtained, effects of crack healing and crack tip blunting on the K
IC values were discussed. The effect of healing and blanting on the K
IC values for an alumina measured at high temperatures was small owing to the weakened healing strength and active slow crack growth at these temperatures. On the other hand, the K
IC value for a silicon carbide increased remarkablly due to the effect of oxidation products formed at high temperature.

Initial cell attachment of β-TCP ceramics was smaller than that of polystyrene tissue culture dish, because the surface of β-TCP ceramics was too hydrophilic for the attachment of cell.
