In this work, two types of Ni-plating, namely electrolytical and electroless Ni-platings on carbon fiber surfaces, were carried out to enhance the impact resistance of composites. And the comparison between electrolytical and electroless methods on their impact properties of composite system was studied. The surface properties of carbon fibers were characterized using XRD, SEM, and contact angle measurements. The impact behaviors were investigated using an Izod type impact tester. As experimental results, it was observed that electrolessly plated Ni layers had Ni-P alloys on carbon fiber surfaces as revealed by XRD, and electrolytically Ni-plated carbon fibers showed higher surface free energies than those of the electrolessly Ni-plated carbon fibers. In particular, the impact strengths of electrolessly Ni-plated carbon fibers-reinforced plastics were strongly increased. These results were probably due to the difference of wettabilities according to the different types of Ni-plating methods.

Recently, the applications of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) have become broader than ever when it comes to such industries as automotive, ships, aerospace and military because of their lightweight-ness and high mechanical properties. Thermosetting plastics like epoxy are frequently used as the binding matrix in CFRPs due to their high hardness, wetting characteristics and low viscosity. However, they cannot melted and remolded. For this reason, thermosetting plastic wastes have caused serious environmental problems with the production of fiber reinforced plastics. Thus, many studies have focused on the carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs) and recycling carbon fiber. In this study, recycled carbon fiber (RCF) was prepared from CFRPs using a pyrolysis method, which was employed to separate resin and carbon fiber. The degree of decomposition for epoxy resin was confirmed from thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The RCF was cut and ground to prepare a carbon fiber composite sheet (CFCS). CFCS was manufactured by applying recycled carbon fibers and various thermoplastic fibers. Various characterizations were performed, including morphological analyses of surface and cross-section, mechanical properties, and crystallization enthalpy of CFCS at different cooling conditions.

Recently, the need of new materials which have excellent physical properties and functional characteristics has been increased in all industries. In particular, body weight reduction via new materials in aerospace industry was significantly emphasized by the requirement of environmental protection through the fuel savings and reduction of greenhouse gas, i.e., carbon dioxide($CO_2$). Also, for various applications, the development of high performance custom materials with excellent physical properties was the current primary goal of materials science and technology. In this respect, carbon fiber-reinforced composites were the most candidates among the various materials. Indeed, carbon fiber-reinforced composites have been lately used as essential materials for the weight reduction of aircraft and the demand has increased remarkably. Therefore, in this paper, we focused on the need of carbon fiber composites in the fields of aircraft and technique status.

We studied the effects of anodic oxidation treatments of carbon fibers on interfacial adhesion of the carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy matrix composites with various current densities. The surface of treated carbon fibers was characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM), field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the composites was determined by a short beam shear test. This result showed that both the roughness and oxygen group of the carbon fibers surface increased in proportion to the current density. After anodic-oxidation-treated, the ILSS also increased as a function of the current density. In addition, the proportional relationship between ILSS and phenolic hydroxyl group was confirmed. The ILSS of the CF-2.0 sample increased by 4% compared to that of the CF-AS sample, because the anodic oxidation treatment increased the oxygen group and roughness on the carbon fibers surface, which leading to the improvement of the interfacial adhesion of the carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy matrix composites. Among these, the phenolic hydroxyl group which has the proportional relationship with ILSS is found to be the most important factor for improving the interfacial adhesion of the carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy matrix composites.

This paper aims to improve the critical speed of power-take-off (PTO) shafts by using carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs). The PTO shaft was designed with titanium-CFRPs hybrid structure in order to compensate the low shear strength of CFRPs. Based on the requirements for PTO shafts, the dimensions of PTO shafts were determined through a parametric study. To evaluate the performance of the PTO shaft, a vibration test, a static torsion test, and a torsion durability test were performed. In the vibration test, the critical speed of PTO shafts was 20570 rpm, which was 7.5% higher than that of titanium shafts. Additionally, it was confirmed that the maximum allowable torque of the PTO shaft was 2300 N·m. Finally, under repeated load in the range of 11.3 to 113 N·m, the fatigue failure in the PTO shaft did not occur up to 10⁶ cycles.

산업의 발전과 더불어 새로운 재료의 개발에 대한 요구가 날로 증가하고 있으며 이와 같은 요구에 부응하기위하여 각종의 신소재가 개발되고있다. 이들 신소재 중에서 섬유강화 복합재료는 높은 비탄성과 비강도특성 때문에 구조물의 경량화가 요구되는 우주선, 항공기 등에 주로 이용 되어 왔으며 최근에는 복합재료의 가격이 저렴해 지면서 이 재료의 높은 비탄성과 감쇠특성을 이용하고자 스포츠용품 및 기계 부품에도 섬유강화 복합재료의 이용이 증가 되고 있다. 항공기나 고속회전체의 부품을 복합재료로 제작하였을 경우 복합재료를 다른 금속이나 다른 복합재료부품에 접합(joining)시켜야 하는데 이 때문에구조물의 효율은 Joint에서 주로 죄우된다. Joint를 제작하기 위해서는 복합재료의 표면을 가공한 수 Adhesive를 이용하거나 Bolt로 체결하기 위해 구멍 뚫기 작업이 필요하여 드릴링을 하였을때 이 재료가 매우 연마성이 강하여 심한 공구마멸을 일으키며, 드릴의 입구와 출구쪽에서 각 ply들의 박리 현상이 발생하고, 드릴가공된 벽면으로부터 섬유 또는 레진의 탈락현상등이 발생하는 결점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 결점을 최소화하여 고정밀도의 높은 생산성을 얻기위한 가공기술에 대한 자료를 만들고 최적 절삭조건 및 복합재료가공용 드릴의 설계를 위한 지침을 제시하고자 고속도강 표준드릴을 사용하여 유리섬유 에폭시 복합재료및 탄소섬유 에폭시 복합재료의 드릴링 실험에서 절삭조건이 가공면 생성, 공구마멸, 절삭력에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다.

탄소섬유가 중앙에 적층된 풍력발전용 블레이드 소재인 탄소 유리섬유 하이브리드 복합재료가 VARTM(Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding)공법을 이용하여 제작되었다. 아이조드 충격시험법을 이용하여 온도, 하이브리드화 비율 그리고 노치에 대한 충격강도의 영향을 연구하였다. 온도 감소 및 탄소섬유의 증가에 의해 충격강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 노치에 의해 하이브리드 복합재료는 약 $25{\sim}30$%가량의 충격강도 감소를 보였다. 그러나 단일 탄소섬유 복합재료의 경우 노치민감도는 없었으며, 이에 소량의 유리섬유 첨가로 인해 하이브리드화 하였을 경우 충격강도 향상 및 저온 충격강도 안정성을 확보 할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the group velocity dispersion curves of the $S_o$ symmetric mode in unidirectional CFRP plate was calculated as varying the propagating direction. The group velocity curve was obtained with the group velocities of the $S_o$ symmetric mode corresponding to 0.2 MHz-mm under the first cut-off frequency in the dispersion curves, and corrected by introducing the slowness curve. The velocities of the $S_o$ symmetric mode in the unidirectional CFRP plate were measured as varying the propagating direction and compared with the col?rotted group velocity curve. The measured velocities were good agreement with the corrected group velocity curve except near the fiber direction which was called the cusp region. It implies that the direction of the group velocities incline toward the fiber direction of the unidirectional CFRP plates when the propagation direction is not accorded with the principal axis. It is supposed that this phenomenon rerults from the preferential propagating the energy toward the direction with the faster propagation velocity.
