The Department focuses on the synthesis of powder for precision ceramics and the development of its coating technology, with particular emphasis on liquid, gas, aerosol, and plating methods. The current research is to use non-traditional ceramic powder processes to produce nanometer-to-sub-micron ceramic powders and catalyst carriers. The non-traditional ceramic powders used in the process include coprecipitation, sol-gel, precursors, and spray pyrolysis. At the same time, the nanometer-to-submicron ceramic powder and the catalyst carrier have magnetic, electrical conductivity, or superconductivity, and the surface ceramic coating of the alloy material is protected by the sol-gel method and the electroplating technique.

The optimization of the state of operation and the best production method for the research of precision ceramic powders of different natures are of utmost importance. With the advancement and vigorous development of electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, and precision chemical processes, the importance of precision ceramic products has increased. However, the characteristics of ceramic powder materials will directly affect the final quality of precision ceramic products. Therefore, in addition to the research and development of precision ceramic powder and material coating technologies, this Department also focuses on training and research personnel in this area to meet the needs of future Taiwanese industries.
