In order to overcome drawbacks in the conventional preparation of epoxy/silica nanocomposites, such as formation of micro voids and dimensional instability caused by evolution of volatile by-products during curing reaction, a novel preparation method using Si-N precursor has been proposed. When prepared through in-situ reaction of epoxy curing reaction with sol-gel reaction of Si-N precursor, methyltripiperidinylsilane (MTPS) which does not produce by-products during reaction, epoxy/silica nanocomposites of extremely even dispersion of inorganic phase could be successfully prepared, resulting in high enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties as well as outstanding transparency.

In this work, epoxy/carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitirile (EP/CTBN) composites were prepared by employing a reinforcing filler, silica treated with silane coupling agent in different ratio by dry and wet method. Their curing characteristics, surface free energy, interface morphologies and mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact resistance were carefully investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) results showed that curing temperature was lowered with the increase of silane coupling agent because of the increase of relative curing agent cotent by filling the pores of silica. Wet method was proved to be more effective for lowering curing temperature of EP/CTBN composite. In general, surface free energy and impact resistance were increased with the increase of silane coupling agent in this work. Tensile strength, however, was observed to be decreased at 4 wt% of silane coupling agent. It was found that the dry method was proved to be preferable for pretreatment of silica with coupling agent.

The effect of modification conditions on the physical properties of polydimethyl siloxane modified epoxy (PDMSME) was investigated. The number of ring opened epoxy attached to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) by silane coupling agent affected the physical properties of undercoating materials. The flexibility of thin coating was enhanced by PDMSME and the increase of ring opened epoxy attached to PDMS resulted in the increase of hardness by the crosslinking in the present with moisture. The higher molecular weight of PDMS caused the lowering of hardness while the surface contact angle increased due to the high silicone content in PDMS. The viscosity of silicone modified epoxy coating materials decreased with increasing of molecular weight of PDMS due to the lowering of entanglement of PDMSME molecules by acetone solvent and consequently, the smooth undercoated surface was obtained.

To prepare the good-adherent and weather-resistant acrylic resin coatings, acrylic resin was prepared by a radical polymerization. Glass transition temperature(Tg) of the acrylic copolymer was fixed at 30℃ and the contents of tertiary amine monomer(DMAEMA) was varied to be 5, 10, 15, 20 wt% respectively. γ-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(GPTMS) containing epoxy group was used for curing agents and di-n-butyltindilaurate(DBTDL) was used for drying accelerator. The equivalent ratio of amine to epoxy was 1:1. The prepared coatings exhibited excellent adhesion to various substrates, and various physical properties of the coatings were satisfactory. The gloss retention and color difference were improved at low tertiary amine concentration. The coatings containing 10wt% tertiary amine concentration have especially good weather resistant properties.

The effect of surface treatments with the atmospheric pressure flame plasma (APFP) and epoxy silane (ES) is experimentally investigated to yield the best mechanical properties of silica ($V_f=40%$) reinforced elastomeric composites. The tensile strength of the composites is increased significantly with decrease the mean diameter. When the diameter is $2.2{\mu}m$, that of the composite is increased about 1.4 times compared to the matrix (2.52 MPa). Also, the tensile strength of silica reinforced composites with APFP and ES treated is increased 8.8~13.3%, 9.9~12.5%, respectively. When the diameter is $26.6{\mu}m$, the tensile modulus of the composite is increased about 2 times compared to the matrix (0.88MPa), and the tensile modulus of silica reinforced composites with APFP and ES treated is increased 15.6~22.8%, 21.1~5.8%, respectively. Conventional silane coupling agent treatment have a few disadvantages because of using organic solvents. However APFP treatment is a fast, economic and eco-friendly method to improve the mechanical properties.

Poly(amic acid) was synthesized from the reaction of p-PDA/ODA and PMDA/BPDA and silane oligomer containing epoxy group was also synthesized from the reaction of tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS) and glycidol. After hybridizing poly (amic acid) and silane oligomer, they were effectively converted into polyimide/silica hybrid films by thermal imidization process. As the silica contents in hybrid films increased, CTE values decreased from 17 ppm/K to 10 ppm/K and the tensile modulus increased, in spite of decreasing tensile strength. In addition, the peel test showed that the adhesion strength of hybrid film was enhanced from $0.43kg_f/cm$ to $1.02kg_f/cm$. Therefore, it could be concluded that the polyimide/silica hybrid film is effective to enhance adhesion strength for FCCL films.

In this study, the silane primers were introduced to improve the interface adhesion between copper and epoxy. Especially, the polymer types obtained by solution and emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of vinyltriethoxysilane and the low molecular weight types of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(3-APTES) and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(3-GPTMS) were used to improve the adhesion strength between epoxy and copper. Also, the surface of copper was treated by 1,1,1-trichloroethane. According to the results, the interfacial adhesion strength of copper-epoxy increased about 2~5 times with the introduction of silane primer. Also, the optimum treatment time of copper surface was about 10 minutes. Additionally, the adhesion strength as a function of concentration of low molecular weight silane was maximum at about 0.5 vol.% for 3-APTES and about 0.2 vol% for 3-GPTMS.

A lithium secondary battery is the most promising candidate for future energy storage devices. On the other hand, the battery capacity decreases gradually due to the small amount of water and decomposition of the salts during the charging and discharging process, which deteriorates at high temperatures. Many researchers focused on increasing the cycling performance, but there have been few studies on the fundamental problem that removes water and HF molecules. In this study, silane molecules that are capable of absorbing water and HF molecules are introduced to the separator. Firstly, silica-coated amino-silane (APTES, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) was synthesized, then the silica reacted with epoxy-silane, GPTMS ((3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane). A ceramic-coated separator was fabricated using the silane-coated silica, which is coated on porous polyethylene substrates. FT-IR spectroscopy and TEM analysis were performed to examine the chemical composition and the shape of the silane-coated silica. SEM was performed to confirm the ceramic layers. LMO half cells were fabricated to evaluate the cycling performance at 60 ℃. The cells equipped with a GPTMS-silica separator showed stable cycling performance, suggesting that it would be a solution for improving the cycling performance of the Li-ion batteries at high temperatures.

Epoxy/anhydride systems with silica filler were studied to improve the cure behavior and characteristics. To study the curing process of epoxy/anhydride using DSC and a stress rheometer, it was observed that gelation temperature increased by increasing the thermal rate or in high isothermal conditions, while it was observed that the degree of cure at gelation decreased. Thermal stability of the epoxy/anhydride system showed any increment by increasing silica contents, except slight decrease of weight by containing humidity. The epoxy resin cured with 30% of silica filler decreased coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) about 33% to show $40ppm/^{\circ}C$. Specimens filled with 30 wt% of silica showed 60% increase in storage modulus at $30^{\circ}C$ to show 3909 MPa compared with neat resin to 2,377 MPa. Epoxy/anhydride systems with surface treated silica by silane coupling agent decreased storage modulus.
