전방향족 에스테르계 열방성 액정중합체(LCP) 벡트라(Vectra)와 폴리카보네이트 (PC)를 무게비 30/70으로 구성한 고분자 블렌드를 확장되는 다이를 통하여 압출한후 압출쉬 트의 탄성 및 점탄성 특성을 만능시험기(UTM)와 동적기계적 스펙트로터(RDS)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 블렌드의 기계적 특성은 기지재인 PC의 ductility에도 불구하고 순수 LCP보다 도 더 brittle하였다. 그러나 탄성률이나 인장강도 모두 PC보다 훨씬 높게 나타나 보강효과 가 확인되었다. 이러한 보강효과는 복합계 내부에서 스스로 형성된 직경 2~10$\mu$m 정도의 거대 섬유소 그리고 거대 섬유소는 다시 직경 0.05$\mu$m 정도의 미세섬유로서 구성된 형태학 적 특성으로 설명될수 있었다. 한편 블렌드의 점탄성 거동은 마치 entanglement coupling이 높은 계의 특성과 비슷하였으며 시편의 위치에 따른 특성변화는 관찰되지 않았고 순수산 LCP의 점탄성 특성과 아주 유사하였다.

To investigate the enhancement in strength and deformation capacities of concrete confined by FRP composites, tests under axial loads were carried out on three groups of thirty six short columns in circular section with diverse GFRP confining reinforcement. The major test variables considered include fiber content or orientation, wrap or tube type by varying the end loading condition, and continuous or discontinuous confinement depending on the presence of vortical spices between its two halves. The circumferential FRP strains at failure for different types of confinements were also investigated with emphasis. Various analytical models capable of predicting the ultimate strength and strain of the confined concrete were examined by comparing to observed results. Tests results showed that FRP wraps or tubes provide the substantial increase in strength and deformation, while partial wraps comprising the vertical discontinuities fail in an explosive manner with less increase in strength, particularly in deformation. A bilinear stress-strain response was observed throughout all tests with some variations of strain hardening. The failure hoop strains measured on the FRP surface were less than those obtained from the tensile coupons in all tests with a high degree of variation. In overall, existing predictive equations overestimated ultimate strengths and strains observed in present tests, with a much larger scatter related to the latter. For more accuracy, two simple design- oriented equations correlated with present tests are proposed. The strength equation was derived using the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, whereas the strain equation was based on entirely fitting of test data including the unconfined concrete strength as one of governing factors.
