플라스틱재료의 강도, 인성, 경직성, 탄성 등과 같은 기계적 특성을 개선시켜 주기 위해 kaoline, talc, sand, quartz 등과 같은 규산염을 첨가하여 복합재료를 만들고자 하는 연구가 상당히 활발하다. 이와 같이 다양한 규산염이 복합재료의 강화재 또는 첨가제로 사용되는 반면에, 규산염가운데 공업적으로 이용도가 가장 높은 montmorillonite는 아직도 복합재료의 강화재로 폭 넓게 이용되고 있지 못한 실정이다. 이론적으로 볼 때, 높은 분자량을 지니는 무기고분자 (예; inorganic montmorillonite)와 유기고분자 (organic polymer)를 gkadbk는 실질적인 무기-유기 결합물질의 생성이 가능할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 연구 또한 시도되고 있다. 이렇게 해서 얻게 되는 무기-유기 복합체, 즉 montmorillonite로 강화된 플라스틱 복합재료 bumper를 사용함으로써 접촉 또는 충돌시 충격완화의 효과를 가져 올 수 있어 안정성이 좋아지고, 내파괴성이 높기 때문에 비강화 플라스틱재료보다 더 오래 사용할 수 있으므로 경제성이 좋을 뿐만 아니라, 폐품의 감소로 인해 환경보호에도 일익을 담당할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 montmorillonite강화 플라스틱 복합체를 얻기 위해 우선 무기-유기 고분자물질의 형성이 가능한가를 조사분석하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 amontmorillonite의 층사이에서 화학반응이 수행될 수 있는 충분한 공간을 얻고자 Na-Montmorillonite 층사이의 Na+-이온을 긴 알킬사슬을 취하는 유기 양이온으로 치환시켜 주었다; 이렇게 해서 얻은 유기양이온-몬트모릴로나이트 층간화합물 (Organic cation-Montmorillonite Intercalations-complex)내에 유기 단분자 (organic monomer)를 추가적으로 삽입시킨 후, montmorilonite의 층내에서 증합반응시켜 고분자화해 줌으로써 무기고분자와 유기고분자가 서로 결합된 무기-유기고분자 결합물질을 형성하고자 하였다. X-선 및 IR-분석결과 층내에서의 유기단분자의 고분자화 반응이 성공적으로 이루어 졌음이 입증되었다.

The Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology has advanced in many application areas. In this research, implantable Drug Delivery System (DDS) was fabricated by an RP system, Nano Composite Deposition System (NCDS). The DDS composite consists of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), as drug particles, and PLGA85/15 as biodegradable polymer matrix. To have larger surface area, the DDS was fabricated in a scaffold shape, and its degradation was tested in vitro environment. Biocompatible Hydroxyapatite (HA) powders were added to the drug-polymer composite in order to control drug release. Test results showed a possibility of controlled release of scaffold DDS over 50 days.

Nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene are considered to be ideal fillers for polymer composites, because of their outstanding mechanical properties and high length-to-diameter ratio. There has been much effort to realize the implementation of their full potential, but a large number of unsolved problems still must be challenged, for example, effective processing for fabrication. This review deals with the progress that has already been made in the area of nanocarbon polymer composites using CNT and graphene. Mechanical reinforcement of various nanocarbon polymer composites is analyzed and compared, and future perspectives in research and development that need to be done are discussed.

Metal and polymer sandwich composites, which are made of sheet metal sheath and polymer or fiber reinforced plastic core, have been reconsidered as an alternative to sheet metal due to their lightness and multifunctional properties such as damping and sound-proof properties. For the successful applications of these composites, the delamination prediction based on the adhesion strength is important element. In this study, the numerical simulation of the delamination behavior of polymeric adhesive tapes with metallic surfaces was performed using cohesive zone elements and finite element software. The traction-separation law of the cohesive zone element was defined using the fracture energy derived from peel mechanics and experimental results from peel test and implemented in finite element software. The peel test of the polymeric adhesive film against steel surface was simulated and compared with experiments, demonstrating reasonable agreement between simulation and experiment.

The use of 3D printing for rapid tooling and manufacturing has promised to produce components with complex geometries according to computer designs and it is emerging as the next generation key of manufacturing. Due to the intrinsically limited mechanical/electrical properties and functionalities of printed pure polymer parts, there is a critical need to develop 3D printable polymer composites with high performance. This article gives a review on 3D printing techniques of polymer composite materials and the properties and performance of 3D printed composite parts as well as their potential applications in the various fields.

In this paper, we explore interfacial properties of the mineralized CNTs when they are employed as reinforcing fillers in a polymer nanocomposite using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Recently, several studies on mineralizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with an aid of nitrogen doping to CNTs have been reported. However, there is a lack of studies on the reinforcing effects of the mineralized CNTs when it is employed as a filler of nanocomposites. Silica ($SiO_2$) is used as a mineral material and poly (methyl metacrylate) (PMMA) is used as a polymer matrix. Pull-out simulations are conducted to obtain the interfacial energy and the interfacial shear stress. It was found that the silica mineralized CNTs have higher interfacial interaction with the polymer matrix. In the future, by examining various thermomechanical properties of the mineralized-CNT-filler/polymer nanocomposites, we will search for potential applications of the novel reinforcing filler.

In this study, a multiscale method for solving a thermoelasticity problem for interphase in the polymeric nanocomposites is developed. Molecular dynamics simulation and finite element analysis were numerically combined to describe the geometrical boundaries and the local mechanical response of the interfacial region where the polymer networks were highly interacted with the nanoparticle surface. Also, the micrmechanical thermoelasticity equations were applied to the obtained equivalent continuum unit to compute the growth of interphase thickness according to the size of nanoparticles, as well as the thermal phase transition behavior at a wide range of temperatures. Accordingly, the equivalent continuum model obtained from the multiscale analysis provides a meaningful description of the thermoelastic behavior of interphase as well as its nanoparticle size effect on thermoelasticity at both below and above the glass transition temperature.

This study was conducted to evaluate the application of a bio-composite made by the addition recycled fiber board flour as filler. Recycled fiber board (high density fiber board, HDF) flour was added to polyolefin polymer low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) for the preparation of bio-composite materials. The mechanical properties and processability of the recycled HDF flour filled LDPE and recycled HDF flour filled PP bio-composites were then measured and compared to those of wood flour (WF) and rice-husk flour (RHF) filled LDPE and PP bio-composites, respectively. The tensile and impact strengths of the recycled HDF flour filled LDPE and PP bio-composites had similar mechanical properties to those of the WF and RHF filled LDPE and PP bio-composites. To measure the processability, torques of the bio-composites were also measured. The torques of the HDF flour filled LDPE and PP bio-composites were lower than those of the WF and RHF filled polyolefin (PP and LDPE) bio-composites with a filler loading of 30 wt.%. This result showed definite processability, which was not related with the distribution of the particle size of the material added. The recycled fiber board flour filled bio-composites showed applicability as substitutes for the bio-composites currently used in the bio-composites industry.
