본 연구에서는 분자동역학 전산모사를 통해 육방정계 단일벽 질화붕소 나노튜브(BNNT)의 반경 변화에 따른 압전탄성 변화를 규명하였다. 질화붕소의 거동을 비교적 잘 모사하는 Tersoff 포텐셜과 기계적 하중인가에 따른 질소 및 붕소원자의 상대변위로 인한 분극의 정량화를 위해 강체 이온 근사를 채택하였다. 선형 압전탄성 구성방정식을 기반으로 각각의 질화붕소에 변형률을 인가하고 이에 따른 전기적 변위와 응력을 산출하여 압전상수와 영률을 각각 예측하였다. 그 결과, BNNT의 압전상수는 반경이 증가함에 따라 점진적으로 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 반면 탄성계수의 경우 불연속적 구조를 가지는 질화붕소를 등가의 연속체 구조로 등가시키는 방법에 따라 증가 또는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. BNNT의 곡률변화에 따른 물성변화를 가상실험에 기반한 경험적 모델로 근사하기 위해 BNNT의 튜브반경-압전탄성물성 간 상관관계식을 제안하였다. 또한 BNNT의 반경변화에 따른 물성을 곡률의 관점에서 설명하기 위해, BNNT와 질화붕소 나노시트(BNNS)의 결합에너지와 탄성변형에 따른 원자간 결합길이 변화가 각각의 구조의 변형에너지 증가에 기여하는 정도를 상호 비교하였다.

Application of ceramic has increased due to excellent mechanical properties, and machining of ceramic has demanded gradually a precision surface machining. For decreasing the surface roughness, the control of IED lapping parameters is very important. This paper deal with the analysis of the process parameters such as applied forces, percentage of h-BN and IED lapping time, developed based on Taguchi method. Also, SEM was used for monitoring of a machinable ceramic surface.

Recently, application of ceramics has increased gradually due to excellent mechanical properties. Si3n4-BN ceramic which is one of ceramics is very hard and has superior resistance against volatile temperature and wear. However, extremely high hardness of the $Si_3N_4-BN$ ceramic makes conventional machining very difficult. Therefore, the use of machinable ceramic has been in a poor because of difficult industrial processes in spite of many advantages. And so new technology being called IED(In-process electrolytic dressing) was introduced to solve this problem. The aim of this study is to determine the machining characteristics in terms of pressurized weight to the workpiece and the influence with h-BN content using IED lapping system. Also, Acoustic Emission (AE) is used for the monitoring of surface characteristics.

Two-dimensional materials such as graphene, h-BN, and $MoS_2$ have attracted increased interest as solid lubricant and protective coating layer for nanoscale devices owing to their superior mechanical properties and low friction characteristics. In this work, the frictional properties of single-layer graphene, h-BN, and $MoS_2$ are experimentally investigated under various normal forces using atomic force microscope (AFM) tips with a spherical and flat end, with the aim to gain a better understanding of frictional behaviors. The nonlinear relationship between friction and normal force friction was clearly observed for single-layer graphene, h-BN, $MoS_2$ specimens slid against the spherical and flat AFM tips. The results also indicate that single-layer graphene, h-BN, $MoS_2$ exhibit low frictional properties (e.g., friction coefficient below 0.1 under 70~100 nN normal force). In particular, graphene is found to be superior to h-BN and $MoS_2$ in terms of frictional properties. However, the friction of single-layer graphene, h-BN, $MoS_2$ against the flat tip is larger than that against the spherical tip, which may be attributed to the relatively large adhesion. Furthermore, it is shown that the fluctuation of friction is more significant for the flat tip than the spherical tip. The resutls of this study may be helpful to elucidate the feasibility of using two-dimensional materials as solid lubricant and protective coating layer for nanoscale devices.
