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.

Manufacture of nancomposites has simple process for developing nanocomposites due to the increasing applications using nanofillers. This work studied nanofiller coated glass fiber for reinforcing material with good wetting and conductivity and the morphology of nanofiller coated glass fiber was analyzed by FE-SEM. The durability of reinforced glass fiber was investigated with different shapes of nanofillers using sonication rinsing method. Fatigue test was performed to evaluate the adhesion of reinforcing interface and stability of nanofiller coating layer for single fiber reinforced composites. Apparent modulus and conductivity of nanofiller coating layer were evaluated to realize multifunctional of nanocomposites. Fiber type of nanofiller was better than plate type due to better cohesion between fiber and nanofillers. At last, the stability of fiber type nanofiller of coating layer has better durability and conductivity than plate type case.

나노튜브는 반도체 재료로서 뿐만 아니라 다른 분야로까지 다양한 응용범위를 가진 물질로서 기존에는 주의 탄소를 사용하여 제작, 사용되어지고 있으나 게이트옥사이드(Gate Oxide) 물질인 지르코니아(ZrO$_2$), 타이타니아(TiO2$_2$) 등을 이용한 나노튜브는 많이 제작되어지고 있지 못하다. 따라서 보다 나은 성질을 갖는 물질로서 나노튜브를 제작할 시 반도체 재료에서의 고집적화를 통해 좋은 성질을 갖게 할 수 있으며 여러 분야로까지 확대가 가능한 재료를 사용하여 광학 및 환경분야 등 응용범위를 넓힐 수 있다. 본 실험은 나노튜브 제작에 있어서 템플레이트의 구멍 내부를 ALD 기술을 이용하여 균일한 두께를 갖는 금속 산화물층을 성장시킨 후 템플레이트 재료의 식각을 통해 금속산화물 나노튜브가 남아있게 하여 제작하는 방법이다.

Nanocomposites of polyurethane were prepared from inorganic nano particles, $Na^+-montmorillonite$ (MMT), silica, $CaCO_3$, and surface modified MMT and their properties were investigated. It was shown that the molecular weight and polydispenity of nanocomposites of polyurethane were 20000 to 28000 and 1.0 to 2.0, respectively. d-Spacing for nanocomposites of MMT were increased than that of pure MMT. Initial degradation temperature of nanocomposites were 250 to $280^{\circ}C$. And also, the range of weight loss for nanocomposites were decreased and the end of thermal degradation was observed at higher temperatures about $50^{\circ}C$. The elongation at break for $CaCO_3$ filled nanocomposites were the highest among the nanocomposites used in this study. studied. It was found that the tensile strength increased with increasing the filler contents while the silica nanocomposite exhibited the lowest increase and the $CaCO_3$ nanocomposite the highest.

나노제품의 안전성은, 나노제품에 사용된 나노물질의 독성과 나노물질의 노출가능성을 동시에 고려함으로써 평가할 수 있다. 본 문서는 나노물질의 독성 데이터는 이미 확보된 것으로 가정하고, 나노제품의 안전성을 향상시키는 설계 절차에 대하여 기술한다. 나노제품에서 나노물질이 노출되는 정도를 기계적인 손상의 관점에서 평가함으로써 노출 가능성을 추정하고, 이 추정치를 나노물질의 독성값 및 노출 한계와 비교함으로써 나노제품의 안전성을 평가하거나 예측한다. 나노제품의 설계 단계에서 이러한 안전성 평가 및 예측 방안을 적용하는 방법을 설명한다.

Interfacial evaluation of glass fiber reinforced carbon nanotube (CNT)-epoxy nanocomposite was investigated by micromechanical technique in combination with wettability test. The contact resistance of the CNT-epoxy nanocomposite was measured using a gradient specimen, containing electrical contacts with gradually-increasing spacing. The contact resistance of CNT-epoxy nanocomposites was evaluated by using the two-point method rather than the four-point method. Due to the presence of hydrophobic domains on the heterogeneous surface, the static contact angle of CNT-epoxy nanocomposite was about $120^{\circ}$, which was rather lower than that for super-hydrophobicity. For surface treated-glass fibers, the tensile strength decreased dramatically, whereas the tensile modulus exhibited little change despite the presence of flaws on the etched fiber surface. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between the etched glass fiber and the CNT-epoxy nanocomposites increased due to the enhanced surface energy and roughness. As the thermodynamic work of adhesion, $W_a$ increased, both the mechanical IFSS and the apparent modulus increased, which indicated the consistency with each other.

최근 나노기술에 대한 폭발적인 관심과 함께 전기방사기술은 나노섬유를 제조할 수 있는 강력한 수단을 평가되고 있으며, 지금까지 거의 3종류 이상의 고분자들에 대한 나노섬유가 제조되었다. 또한, 나노섬유기술은 전통적인 섬유분야를 초월하여 매우 다양한 산업분야에 응용가능성이 있다. 따라서 다양한 분야에서 나노섬유를 활용하는 응용연구가 보다 활성화되어야 할 것이다.

The studies of particulate reinforced composites have been conducted for many years. The nanocomposites to be studied vigorously in recent years are one of them. We fabricated and studied multi-walled carbon nanotube(MWNT)/epoxy composites which may be useful as matrix for continuous fiber-reinforced composites. We investigated tensile properties of MWNT/epoxy composites as a function of MWNT concentration, which were prepared by the fabrication method established in this study. Tensile stiffness and strength increased 19% at 0.5 wt% and 12% at 0.2 wt%, respectively. We observed the reaggregation phenomenon of MWNTS during curing, which should be controlled to obtain higher tensile properties.
