Abstract

Nanocomposites have been considered innovative composite materials that have multi-functionality and high performance. Because the incorporation of nanoscale fillers may significantly improve the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of composites, numerous extensive studies on the characterization of nanocomposites with nanoscale fillers have been performed. In particular, the development of nanocomposites using carbon-based nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, carbon black, graphene nanoplates) have attracted much interest in the composite field. This paper provides a review of recent advances in the electrical/mechanical characteristics of nanocomposites, which are essential for their practical applications. Furthermore, this paper revisits the recent research on multi-scale modeling, which is a promising approach for predicting the characteristics of nanocomposites. The current challenges and future development potentials for multi-scale modeling are also discussed.

나노복합재료는 다기능성과 고성능을 가지는 혁신적인 복합재료이다. 나노 스케일 필러의 혼입함으로써 복합재료의 전기적, 역학적 및 열적 특성이 크게 향상될 수 있기 때문에 나노 스케일 필러를 이용한 나노복합재료의 특성화에 관한 다양한 연구가 광범위하게 수행되어 왔다. 특히, 탄소계 나노 필러(탄소나노튜브, 카본블랙, 그래핀 나노판 등)를 활용하여 전기/역학적 특성을 향상시킨 나노복합소재 개발에 관한 연구들이 복합재료 분야에서 큰 관심을 받고있다. 본 논문은 실제 응용에 필수적인 나노복합재료의 전기/역학적 특성을 문헌조사를 통해 고찰하는 것을 목표로 한다. 또한, 나노복합재료의 전기/역학적 특성 예측을 위한 최신 멀티스케일 모델링 연구들에 대해서 검토하고, 멀티스케일 모델링에 대한 과제와 향후 발전 가능성에 대해서 논의한다.
