Abstract
A copper (Cu) metal-ceramic filler composite with high thermal conductivity and a suitable thermal expansion coefficient was designed for application as a high-performance heat dissipation material. The purpose of the designed material was to utilize the high thermal conductivity of Cu while lowering its high coefficient of thermal expansion by..... More

Abstract
High-purity and good sinterable mullite powder (3Al₂O₃･2SiO₂) was synthesized by a sol-gel process to prepare a high-purity mullite crucible. The densified mullite crucible was fabricated by slip casting with the powder followed by sintering at 1600 ℃. Solar salt was put into the mullite crucible and then fired at the..... More

Abstract
Cordierite was synthesized using multi-component materials based on a talc-alumina-clay system. The cordierite sintered at 1360 °C showed a high relative density of 98.8% and a low thermal expansion coefficient of 1.59×10^-6/°C. To study the effect of adding alkaline-earth minerals on the cordierite properties, petalite, potash-feldspar, and dicalcium phosphate were..... More
