The aim of this work was to study the magnetic properties of magnetic glass-ceramics with composition system SiO2-CaO-Na2O-P2O5-BaO-Fe2O3. The magnetic glass–ceramics were prepared by conventional melting at 1300oC for 2 h of the coprecipitation derived starting products and heat treated at different temperatures. The structure and microstructure of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) and scanning electron microscopy. The magnetic measurement showed that the samples which contained barium ferrite exhibited magnetic behavior which is similar to soft magnetic materials. Finally the samples were soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 14 days. The apatite was found to form on the surface layer of glass-ceramics and it increases with the barium ferrite content was increased.

This research aims to study and test a ceramic product in using to constructs a wall. This research is based on a previous studying to develop a ceramic product that saves the energy in the building. The early test shows the product has out door heat resisting capability and it is very user-friendly. However the test was only an early stage. The research still lack of a real life situation test and has very little feedback from the consumers. All of which are very importance to farther develop this product into a production stage. The research has 2 steps. First step to testing the heat and humidity resisting quality of the product the researcher is building four testing blocks (dimension 1x1x1 meter). Each block has different material on one of its side block 1 has brick block 2 has concrete masonry unit block 3 has autoclaved aerated concrete and block 4 has ceramic block. The other three side of each block have a heated and humidity resisting form. The researches test the following; heat energy the temperature inside the blocks and humidity inside the block. After comparing the difference between the airs inside and out-side of the blocks the block 2 with concrete masonry unit has the best humidity resisting quality and is the most user-friendly product. In the term of heat resisting block 3 with autoclaved aerated concrete perform the best. Second step to test the user-friendliness of the product the researcher found 2 groups of consumers. First group are the wall constructing expert. This group has a hard time using this product and can’t get use d to the product so they find this product to be too thin and too weak. Second group the home owner feel the product has a thinner wall and believe it’s weaker than a typical construction brick. There for they still don’t know how to use this product.

The research aimed to analyze jewelry in various forms such as necklaces bracelets rings and earrings as well as to apply knowledge to develop jewelry with stamping techniques by using metals silver and synthetic gemstones. The data of the research was obtained from the interview the analysis of jewelry forms for producing an jewelry prototype and the satisfactory evaluation. The results of the research were that the most of modern jewelry had natural shapes. However they had few manmade patterns. The patterns mostly came from the colors of the gemstones. Silver was used as a material of the whole jewelry ring. As work creativity it was found that most modern jewelry production was based on wax mold prototype molding rubber mold press wax injection molding finishing plating and stone decoration. The result of the research brought to the design for developing better jewelry forms. The process of the design consisted of studying design theories and creating various jewelry forms. As the evaluation by the experts the design with natural shapes obtained the highest rate of evaluation (the second form). The second highest one was the seventh form which was the contemporary jewelry with beautiful gemstones. This one was suitable for jewelry prototype production with stamping techniques by using paper clay ceramic for satisfactory evaluation the consumers were satisfied with the jewelry made of paper clay ceramic with the rates of much and the most. This was consistent with the research hypothesis i.e. to obtain modern forms of jewelry made of paper clay ceramic which were used as a guideline for creating and developing modern jewelry forms according to the customer’s needs and for developing materials for innovation which could reduce production cost and time of the manufacturers.

In this study we investigated the effects of Sm2O3 addition in ceramics 0.93(Bi0.5- x/0 . 9 3Smx/0 . 9 3Na0 . 5 ) TiO3 - 0 . 0 7 BaTiO3 by mixing solid oxide solutions. The crystalline properties of the X-ray diffraction and ferroelectric properties were studied from the P - E loop. The physical properties showed that BSNT-BT ceramic density increased and the percentage of shrinkage decreased due to the increase of the amount of Sm2O3. Moreover it was found that the results were consistent with the structural study for sintered samples at a temperature of 950 °C for 7 hours. It can be determined that the BSNT-BT ceramics have a perovskite structure which is like the main structure of ceramic type BNT. Dielectric properties and dielectric losses at room temperature showed that when increasing the amount of Sm2O3 in BSNT-BT ceramics the dielectric and low dielectric loss were consistent with reduced material resistance. Further the ferroelectric test found that BSNT-BT ceramics improved the ferroelectric properties when increasing the amount of Sm2O3 in the BSNT-BT ceramics.
