Expanded graphite/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the preform molding technique. The conductive fillers were mechanically mixed with a phenol resin to provide an electrical property to composites. The conductive filler loading was fixed at 60wt.% to accomplish a high electrical conductivity. Expanded graphites were excellent in forming a conductive networking by direct contacts between them while it was hard to get the high flexural strength over 40MPa with using only expanded graphite and phenol resin. In this study, carbon fibers were added in composites to compensate the weakened flexural strength. The effect of carbon fibers on the mechanical and electrical properties was examined according to the weight ratio of carbon fiber. As the carbon fiber ratio increased, the flexural strength increased until the carbon fiber ratio of 24wt.%, and then decreased afterward. The electrical conductivity gradually decreased as the increase of the carbon fiber ratio. This was attributed to the non-conducting regions generated among the carbon fibers and the reduction of the direct contact areas between expanded graphites.

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites, which are made by combining a continuous fiber that acts as reinforcement and a homogeneous polymeric material that acts as a host, are engineering materials with high strength and stiffness and a lightweight structure. In this study, a shape memory alloy(SMA) reinforced composite actuator is presented. This actuator is used to generate large deformations in single lightweight structures and can be used in applications requiring a high degree of adaptability to various external conditions. The proposed actuator consists of numerous individual laminas of the glass-fiber fabric that are embedded in a polymeric matrix. To characterize its deformation behavior, the composition of the actuator was changed by changing the matrix material and the number of the glass-fiber fabric layers. In addition, current of various magnitudes were applied to each actuator to study the effect of the heating of SMA wires on applying current.

Because polymer-based composites are lightweight and have excellent properties, their demand is growing rapidly as a way to fulfill properties that are difficult to achieve with a single material. As a result, there has been a lot of research on polymer nanocomposites, which are made by dispersing particles with a size of 1-100 nm in a polymer matrix. In addition, many nanocomposites using thermoplastic resins as matrix materials are being studied. In this study, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)-based nanocomposites containing organic nanoclays modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as interlayer materials were prepared. Among various nanoclays, vermiculite (VMT) has been studied to increase the mechanical and thermal properties of polymeric materials due to its low cost, abundant reserves and unique properties. However, the strong interlayer bonding of VMT has limited its utilization due to its poor exfoliation and dispersion performance within polymer matrices. In this study, the mechanical properties of the VMT content were confirmed by tensile tests, the dispersion of VMT particles in the PET matrix was evaluated by TEM cross-sectional images, and the nitrogen gas barrier properties were evaluated.

최근 이산화탄소 흡수원으로 해조류의 배양과 이산화탄소 고정에 대한 영향 분석연구가 세계적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 또한, 해조류에서 바이오에너지를 얻기 위한 연구와 해조류의 구성성분인 섬유, 당 및 지질을 이용하기 위한 연구도 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 해조류 섬유는 주로 종이 및 바이오복합재료 제조에 사용되며 추출물은 식품 등에 사용될 수 있다. 특히, 해조류 섬유는 셀룰로오스 섬유와 유사한 특성을 가지기 때문에 바이오복합재료의 천연섬유 보강재로서 사용이 가능하다. 바이오복합재료는 천연섬유를 보강재로 사용한 에너지절약과 친환경 특성을 가진 고분자복합재료로서 현재 자동차 및 건축물의 내장재로 사용되고 있는 유리섬유 보강 고분자복합재료를 대체할 수 있는 신소재이다. 본 논문에서는 해조류 기반 친환경 에너지소재의 세계적 연구동향 및 해조류 섬유를 이용한 신소재 개발연구로서 홍조류 섬유 보강 바이오복합재료에 대한 연구결과를 소개하고자 한다.

Nanocomposite blade for dicing semiconductor wafer is investigated for micro/nano-device and micro/nano-fabrication. While metal blade has been used for dicing of silicon wafer, polymer composite blades are used for machining of quartz wafer in semiconductor and cellular phone industry in these days. Organic-inorganic material selection is important to provide the blade with machinability, electrical conductivity, strength, ductility and wear resistance. Maintaining constant thickness with micro-dimension during shaping is one of the important technologies fer machining micro/nano fabrication. In this study the fabrication of blade by wet processing of mixing conducting nano ceramic powder, abrasive powder phenol resin and polyimide has been investigated using an experimental approach in which the thickness differential as the primary design criterion. The effect of drying conduction and post pressure are investigated. As a result wet processing techniques reveal that reliable results are achievable with improved dimension tolerance.

Mutli-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were surface-modified by a hydrofluoric acid solution to remove impurities and improve interfacial bonding and dispersion of nanotubes in an epoxy matrix. The crystallinity on the surface of treated MWCNTs was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The mechanical properties were characterized by tensile test, and the enhancement of mechanical properties of the modified MWCNTs/epoxy composites was indicated by a 33% increase in tensile strength. The electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) of modified MWCNTs/epoxy composites was improved with an increase in concentration of hydrofluoric solution, and EMI-SE showed the maximum increase with 25% HF. However, mechanical and EMI-SE properties didn't show further increase with over 50% HF concentration because the properties of MWCNTs were influenced by degradation of crystallinity and intrinsic properties of MWCNTs. The mechanical and electrical property enhancements of the polymer composites are attributed to the modification of MWCNTs which improve crystallinity of MWCNTs and dispersion in the epoxy resin.

고분자 복합재료들은 오늘날 광범위하게 마찰 부위들에 응용되고 있다. 다양한 첨가제와 보강재들이 고분자 물질들에 넣어져 강도와 마모 특성들을 향상 시키고 있다. 예를 들어, 다양한 복합재료들로서 현재 입수 가능한 것에 베어링 재료들이 있으며 이에 포함되는 것이 자체 윤활 보강 플라스틱 들이며 이들에는 고체 윤활제, 즉, 테플톤, $MoS_2$, 혹은 흑연가루들이 첨가된다. 실험적 그리고 이론적인 연구들이 여러 조건들에서의 섬유 보강 복합 재료들의 마모 거동에 대하여 보고되었다(예를 들어, 미끄럼 마모, 연마 마모, 입자 충격 마모, 비빔 마모). Tsukizoe와 Ohmae의 보고에 의하면 탄성계수 탄소섬유 복합재료는 가장 적은 마모가 횡단 방향(Transverse)에서 있고, 고 강도 탄소 섬유 복합재료는 길이 방향(Longitudinal)에서 있다. 가장 많은 마모는, 고 탄성계수 복합재료는 길이 방향에서, 고 강도 섬유 복합재료는 횡단 방향에서 잇다. 그들이 또한 발표한 것은 양쪽의 고 탄성계수와 고 강도 섬유 복합재료들의 수직방향(Norma)에서 눌러 불음(Seizure)가 일어났다고 한다.
