The preceramic polymer can realize a variety of complex ceramic structures that can not be obtained by conventional ceramic processes. Polycarbosilane, which is a typical preceramic polymer, can control the molecular structure, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution for preparing complex morphology and microstructure of SiC ceramics, including SiC fiber. In this paper, synthesis and molecular structure control technique of polycarbosilane is explained. The silicon carbide fiber prepared by melt spinning, stabilization and heat treatment, and ceramic fiber composites technology made by PIP process are also discussed. In addition, we introduce an example of the development of a complex silicon carbide material such as a silicon carbide hollow fiber having a nanoporous structure.

Scramjet combustor materials are exposed at ultra high temperature over 2000K and severe erosion environment. Inconel alloys are usually applied for combustor material however its mechanical properties are decreased beyond temperature of 1000K so that is impossible for long term operation and reuse. In this study, fiber reinforced ceramic material was used as scramjet combustor material and its feasibility studied. To increase combustion efficiency, regenerative combustor system developed and channel fabrication in composite material also studied.

최근 산업의 발달과 생활수준의 향상으로 쾌적한 생활환경에 대한 관심이 높아지고, 이와 관련하여 섬유 분야에서도 미생물에 대한 저항성이나 악취 등을 제거하는 섬유에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 일반적으로 합성 섬유의 항미생물 가공은 내세탁성이 우수하지 못하지만, 극세사의 경우 일반사에 비해 표면적이 커서 가공제의 흡착량이 많아져, 극세사 소재가 가지고 있는 고흡수성을 저하시키지 않으면서 항미생물성을 갖는 나일론/폴리에스테르(N/P) 복합극세사 소재에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. (중략)

This paper investigates the impact of fiber dispersion on the internal structure and mechanical strength of SiC_f/SiC composites manufactured using spread SiC fibers. The fiber volume ratio of the specimen to which spread SiC fiber was applied decreased by 9%p compared to the non-spread specimen, and the resin slurry impregnated between the fibers more smoothly, resulting in minimal matrix porosity. In order to compare the fiber dispersion of each specimen, a method was proposed to quantify and evaluate the separation distance between fibers in composite materials. The results showed that the distance between fibers in the spread specimen increased by 2.23 ㎛ compared to the non-spread specimen, with a significant 42.6% increase in the distance between fiber surfaces. Furthermore, the 3pt bending test demonstrated a 49.3% higher flexural strength in the spread specimen, accompanied by a more uniform deviation in test data. These findings highlight the significant influence of SiC fiber dispersion on achieving uniform densification of the SiC_f/SiC matrix and increasing mechanical strength.

최근 항공기, 자동차 및 각종 플랜트 설비의 고온용 경량 내열성 소재로서 구조용 세라믹스 재료가 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 구조용 세라믹스 재료도 어느 이상의 고온에서는 크지 않은 응력하에서도 크립에 의한 영구 변형이 일어나서 강도 저하 및 치수 변화로 이어지며, 이로 말미암아 정밀 부품으로서의 기능을 상실할 뿐 아니라 심한 경우에는 파손에까지 이를 수 있다. (중략)

Geopolymer, also known as alkali aluminum silicate, is used as a substitute for Portland cement, and it is also used as a binder because of its good adhesive properties and heat resistance. Since Davidovits developed Geopolymer matrix composites (GMCs) based on the binder properties of geopolymer, they have been utilized as flame exhaust ducts and aircraft fire protection materials. Geopolymer structures are formed through hydrolysis and dehydration reactions, and their physical properties can be influenced by reaction conditions such as concentration, reaction time, and temperature. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of silica size and aging time on the mechanical properties of composites. Commercial water glass and kaolin were used to synthesize geopolymers, and two types of silica powder were added to increase the silicon content. Using carbon fiber mats, a fiber-reinforced composite material was fabricated using the hand lay-up method. Spectroscopy was used to confirm polymerization, aging effects, and heat treatment, and composite materials were used to measure flexural strength. As a result, it was confirmed that the longer time aging and use of nano-sized silica particles were helpful in improving the mechanical properties of the geopolymer matrix composite.

Recently, with the strengthening of environmental regulations, there has been an increasing interest in eco-friendly energy sources, leading to a trend of the increasing scale of Cargo Containment Systems (CCS) for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers. Among these systems, membrane tanks have gained popularity in LNG transport vessels due to their superior spatial utilization and competitiveness. However, due to high initial investment costs and the difficulty in repair in case of damage, a safety layer, the secondary barrier, must be installed without fail. In this study, in order to apply a new secondary barrier to the existing membrane-type LNG CCS, tests were conducted on the fiberglass layer previously used in the Triplex-Flexible Secondary Barrier (FSB), substituting it with basalt fiber. Tensile and vertical tensile tests were performed to assess the newly applied material. Environmental tests were conducted at room temperature (25℃) and extremely low temperatures (-170℃), considering the temperatures to which substances may be exposed during LNG vessel operations. The basalt-FSB produced in this study demonstrated superior results compared to the specifications of the existing product, confirming its potential applicability for implementation.
