Abstract

Carbon nanotubes are considered as the most ideal nano filler in the field of composites with their excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Therefore carbon nanotubes composites are increasingly utilized in conductive materials, structural material with high strength and low weight and multifunctional material. This review article describes recent research trend of carbon nanotubes synthesis, modification, various properties of the carbon nanotubes composites and their application. Furthermore the future development direction for the commercialization of carbon nanotubes composites is proposed.

탄소나노튜브는 전기적, 기계적, 열적 특성면에서 모두 탁월한 물성을 나타냄에 따라 복합체 분야에서 가장 이상적인 나노충전재료로 여겨지고 있다. 그에 따라 탄소나노튜브 복합체는 전도성재료, 고강도 경량 특성의 구조재료, 다기능 복합재료 등의 응용에 있어서 그 활용도가 높아지고 있다. 본 총설에서는 탄소나노튜브의 제조방법, 개질, 탄소나노튜브 복합체의 다양한 특성 및 응용 분야에 대한 최근 연구 동향을 설명하고 탄소나노튜브 복합체 상업화에 있어서 앞으로 나아갈 방향에 대하여 다룬다.
