The relation of applied pressure–height of piston during pressure filtration was measured for aqueous 7 vol % suspensions of positively charged 150 nm alumina particles at 0.2 mm/min of crosshead speed of piston. Application of alternating current field in the frequency range from 0.01 to 1000 Hz at 10 V accelerated the colloidal phase transition from dispersed to flocculated suspension, and decreased the consolidation pressure. The characteristics of the flocculated suspension with decreasing suspension height was analyzed based on the viscoelastic models (Maxwell and Voigt models). The flocculated suspension behaved as a liquid like at a low particle concentration in both the models. The applied pressure was related to the product of viscosity of liquid element and crosshead speed of Voigt model. The influence of solid element of Voigt model became stronger with decreasing suspension height (increasing solid content of the flocculated suspension). The applied pressure was proportional to the Young’s modulus of solid element in the final region of filtration.

High purity, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) using acetylene as the carbon source based on a zeolite NaX template loaded with different iron contents. Well shaped zeolite NaX nanocrystals (FAU) of 50 nm were synthesized by a hydrothermal method according to a well designed composition of 3.5Na

2O. The ion-exchange method was used for supporting different Fe
2+ contents in the zeolite NaX nanocrystals to provide effective catalysts for carbon nanotube (CNT) formation. Thermal treatment of Fe
2+-exchanged zeolite NaX nanocrystals resulted in the formation of α-Fe

3 phase at 450°C in air. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the inner and outer tube diameters of the MWNTs were in the range of 3.8–5.0 nm and 6.3–8.8 nm, respectively, which were smaller than those of conventional thick MWNTs. The yield of the MWNTs was increased up to 47.1% with increasing iron content in pores of the zeolite crystals, which allowed the pores to be defined as containers for catalysts and as a guide template for MWNT growth.

Chitosan–γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS)–tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) hybrid membranes were prepared by the sol–gel method. The effects of Si(IV) released from them on cell proliferation and differentiation were examined in terms of cell metabolic activity and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of MG63 osteoblastic cells. The amount of Si(IV) released from the hybrid membranes increased with the TEOS content. The released Si(IV) inhibited cell proliferation but promoted cell differentiation. Thus, the osteocompatibility of the chitosan hybrid membranes in the chitosan–GPTMS–TEOS system can be controlled by the amount of Si(IV) released from them when they are applied to cell culture.

The effect of doping a wide range of transition metals (TMs) including V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni into rutile TiO
2 films grown on Nb-doped TiO
2(110) single-crystal substrates was investigated by photoemission spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. For all TM-doped TiO
2 films, the Ti 2
p and O 1
s core levels were similarly shifted to lower binding energies with increasing film thickness and the shifts were similarly saturated at a film thickness of about 15 nm. These peak shifts could be interpreted in terms of the Fermi level shift, indicating that dopants trap excess electrons from the Ti 3
d band like acceptors. The present systematic data revealed that the magnitude of the saturated Fermi level shift correlates well with the effective charge transfer energy.

Dense ZrB

2–SiC composites were fabricated at 1800°C by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using TaSi
2 as sintering aid. The volume content of SiC was 5–30% and that of TaSi
2 was 5% in the initial compositions. The additive of TaSi
2 contributed to the densification of composites by the decomposition and simultaneous solid solution of Ta atoms into boride grains which was probably associated with the decrease of activation energy of boride grain boundaries. With increasing SiC content, the electrical conductivity of ZrB

Facile synthesis and size control of Ag nanoparticles by a photochemical reduction was demonstrated. UV–visible spectra and photographs of the synthesized solutions with and without sodium citrate at different UV exposure times showed that sodium citrate played a crucial role for the growth of Ag nanoparticles. According to UV exposure of the Ag colloidal solutions with 0.250 mM sodium citrate for 0, 7, 15, 30, and 60 min, the average particle sizes were 0, 2.45, 5.58, 7.03, and 11.08 nm, respectively. Ag nanoparticles exhibited great increase in sizes, from 5.71 to 36.43 nm after UV exposure for 60 min, as the sodium citrate concentration increased from 0.125 to 0.500 mM. The photochemical reduction is hypothesized to decompose of citrate ions and result from photoelectron transfer from the neutral Ag atoms to the Ag
+ ions to form Ag nanoparticles. These results suggest that the photochemical reduction method can provide Ag nanoparticles in the presence of sodium citrate at room temperature without using a reducing agent.

Ag nanoparticles and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were incorporated into a SnO
2 photosensitive precursor solution, and a direct-patternable film was prepared by photochemical metal-organic deposition. SnO
2 film transmittance and crystallinity were slightly reduced by light absorption of Ag nanoparticles and light scattering by MWNTs. In the case of mixed incorporation of Ag nanoparticles and MWNTs, the sheet resistance of SnO
2 hybrid films was decreased relative to incorporation of either single material. Direct-patterning of SnO
2 hybrid films was performed without photoresist or dry etching. These results suggest that a micro-patterned system can be simply fabricated at a low cost, and the electrical properties of SnO
2 films can be improved by incorporating Ag nanoparticles with MWNTs.

In this study, we fabricated the n-channel metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistors (MFIS-FETs) using an Au/polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE)/ZrO
2/Si(100) structures. The ZrO
2 thin film had the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) value of around 9 nm. And the P(VDF-TrFE) film on a ZrO
2/Si structure showed good ferroelectric property with memory window width of 2.5 V for a bias voltage sweeping of ±7 V. The leakage current density of this MFIS structure showed very excellent insulation property with about 9 × 10
−8 A/cm
2 at 5 V. Based on these results, we fabricated and investigated MFIS-FETs with ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE) film and ZrO
2 buffer layer. The memory window width and on/off ratio of the MFIS-FET was about 4.5 V and 10
3, respectively. These results predicted that the P(VDF-TrFE) thin film would be useful for the realization of 1-transistor type ferroelectric memory.

Ferroelectric materials are of interest due to their applications, such as in ferroelectric field effect transistor memory (FeFET). For this application, reducing retention time according to the leakage current is an important matter. Ferroelectric materials are able to be improved through multilayer fabrication of ferroelectric films.

7 (NT). The ferroelectric materials were prepared with a stable interface using broad stoichiometry, without occurrence of a secondary phase or a disruption in stoichiometry. For the characterization of BLT, NT, and BLT/NT multilayer ferroelectric films, various analyses and measurements were carried out, including X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, current–voltage and polarization–voltage. The multilayer ferroelectric films showed improved ferroelectric properties using multilayer fabrication with a highly insulating ferroelectric film.

The formation of BiFeO
3 without impurity phases, such as excess bismuth and iron, has been possible in only a narrow pressure-temperature-stoichiometric window. A direct-patterned BiFeO
3 film using photochemical metal-organic deposition (PMOD) was fabricated without a conventional etching. BiFeO
3 film was formed on a SrTiO
3 buffer layer with a perovskite structure and a lattice constant of 3.905 Å in order to study the substrate effect during phase formation. This study showed the phase formation and electrical properties of the direct-patternable PMOD BiFeO
3 thin films. The SrTiO
3 buffer layer was found to somewhat prevent the formation of a Fe excess phase in BiFeO
3 after anneal at 550°C for 20 min under O
2 and N
2 atmospheres. The measured remnant polarization (
Pr) and coercive field (
Ec) values of the Pt/BiFeO
3(200 nm)/SrTiO
3(40 nm)/Pt/Si structure were 10 µC/cm
2 and 300 kV/cm, respectively. Leakage current of perovskite BiFeO
3 film was found to be dominated by Poole–Frenkel emission as other perovskite ferroelectrics. To obtain an image, a spin-coated BiFeO
3 film was exposed to UV for 15 min and then rinsed in hexane. From this work, it was revealed that the direct-patterning of BiFeO
3 films could be applicable for the fabrication of micro-patterned systems using a SrTiO
3 buffer layer with controlled reactant stoichiometry.

Influence of SiC composition with different particle size on mechanical properties and microstructure of reaction-bonded SiC have been investigated using infiltration process of liquid Si. SiC specimens were prepared by reaction-bonding sintering at 1620°C in vacuum using different SiC–C composition. Reaction-bonded SiC specimens show dense with 3.0–3.05 gr/cm
3 of density. SiC specimens with bi-modal SiC composition show a fine microstructure than those of uni-modal SiC composition. In addition, in the specimens with bi-modal SiC composition, the microstructure of the sample with use of fine SiC starting powders is finer rather than those of use of relatively coarse SiC starting powders. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of specimens with bi-modal SiC composition are higher than those of uni-modal SiC composition. The main fracture mode of specimens with a high strength is intergranular fracture.

A textured alumina was fabricated from anisotropic α-alumina particles (platelets) by heating at 1650°C for 15 min under applied pressure of 60 MPa using a PECS (Pulse Electric Current Sintering) technique. Subsequently, the thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and dielectric breakdown of the textured alumina were evaluated, are compared to those of conventional polycrystalline alumina and single crystal alumina. The results showed that the thermal conductivity of the textured alumina could be to exhibit almost the same dielectric breakdown as the conventional alumina, that is, the dielectric breakdown was 15 kV/mm and thermal conductivity was 36 W/mK, when the alumina was cut on the vertical plane in the load direction while sintering.

3-stabilized ZrO
2 (10ScSZ) was sintered by several processes including spark plasma sintering, milliwave sintering and conventional sintering. The electrical conductivity of the sintered 10ScSZ samples was obtained by AC impedance spectra, and compared with grain size and the crystal phase. As average grain size decreased, the electrical conductivities decreased and increased at temperatures higher and lower than the phase transition point, respectively. These trends suggested that the fraction of a low conductivity rhombohedral phase increases with increasing grain size at a temperature lower than the phase transition point, and that the total thickness of the grain boundary affects the electrical conductivity at a temperature higher than the phase transition point.

Zeolite A whose surface was evenly covered with tiny scaly calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (Ca-def HA) nanocrystals was prepared through the ion exchange reaction of ammonium and calcium ions as a novel encapsulation material for the long-term immobilization of radioactive Sr-90. The maximum capacity for Sr ion uptake in the zeolite A/Ca-def HA nanocomposite was determined to be 0.40 mmol g
−1, which was comparable to the value for zeolite A alone; this was because of the loose arrangement of Ca-def HA nanocrystals on the surfaces. The nanocomposite obtained was heated at 800 to 1200°C to improve the solution stability of adsorbed Sr ions. The low crystalline Ca-def HA became tricalcium phosphate (TCP) after heating at over 850°C. A phase change from zeolite A to an amorphous phase was observed at 850°C and to feldspar at 1000°C. The elution of Sr ions from the nanocomposites heated was compared to those from the heated zeolite A, under alkaline conditions (pH 10.2) similar to those found in geological layers deeper than 300 m. The elution amounts of Sr ions from the nanocomposites decreased with heating temperatures over 950°C compared with those of zeolite A, due to the complete coverage of TCP crystals. These results indicate that calcium phosphate nano-layers on the zeolite A surfaces play an important role for the long-term encapsulation of Sr ions in the nanocomposites.

The tool dynamometer was installed below the work-piece, a three-axis acceleration sensor was installed on the spindle head, and the acoustic emission sensor was installed on the fixture. The machining characteristics of the composites material were evaluated in a high speed machining process under various cutting conditions by changing the cutting speed, depth-of-cut, and feedrate. The machined surface was investigated using SEM photographs.

The internal structure of a fine particle of barium titanate is studied by the variational principle method on the basis of the self-consistent anharmonic theory. An anharmonic oscillator is used as a trial Hamiltonian, and Morse potential is assumed as the interatomic potential in the particle. It is concluded that the structure of the vertical section of a ferroelectric particle has a gradient distribution from the ferro phase at the center to the para phase at the surface.

Various zeolites have been synthesized from coal fly ash (FA) by hydrothermal treatment with NaOH solution. Phillipsite-type zeolite was synthesized selectively from FA (FA-phillipsite), and succeeded in in situ combining the FA-phillipsite with sepiolite to form FA-phillipsite/sepiolite composite. The adsorption behaviour of two harmful heavy metal ions (Pb
2+ and Cd
2+) were investigated for the FA-phillipsite and FA-phillipsite/sepiolite composite (30 mass % sepiolite). It was found that the NaOH hydrothermal treatment produced not only phillipsite but also Na
+-substituted sepiolite. Both the FA-phillipsite and the FA-phillipsite/sepiolite composite showed high adsorbing-ability for Pb
2+ (2.90 and 2.68 meq g
−1) and Cd
2+ (1.62 and 1.74 meq g
−1) ions. The adsorption efficiency of the composite was much higher in the measured value than in the calculated one estimated from the maximum adsorbing-ability of the untreated sepiolite. This indicates that the Na
+-substituted sepiolite in the composite has excellent adsorbing-ability for Pb
2+ and Cd
2+ ions. Since sepiolite has superior forming performance, the FA-derived phillipsite/sepiolite composite powder was able to be molded into various shapes e.g. pellet and tube. The FA-phillipsite/sepiolite composite is expected to be a new adsorbent for practical use.
