In this paper, we proposed a numerical model the complex permittivity for the E-glass fabric/epoxy composite laminate containing electrical conductive carbon black. The model is based on the percolation theory and for the composites over than the percolation threshold and in higher frequency band in that the AC conductivity is fully proportional to the frequency. The measurement for the complex permittivity wasperformed at the frequency band of 0.5 GHz $\sim$ 18.0 GHz using a vector network analyzer with a 7 mm coaxial air line. The proposed model is composed of the numerical equations of the scaling law used in percolation theory and constants obtained from experiments to quantify the model itself. The model describes the complex permittivity as the function of frequency and filler concentration. The model was verified by being compared with the measurements.

This paper reports the electrical conductivity and the stress-strain behavior of silver particle-filled silicone composite pastes for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gasket materials. The percolation threshold (critical concentration) of the composite paste obtained by incorporating irregular sphere-shaped silver particles and room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone resin was determined from the electrical conductivity result. At about 28 vol% Beading of untreated silver particles, the percolation phenomenon occurred and at this critical concentration, the volumetric resistivity, the tensile strength, and the elongation of the pastes were investigated. This work also suggests that the stress-strain characteristics of a composite paste filled with metal particles above the percolation threshold may be effectively improved by properly selecting a coupling agent.

A composite plastic, where long metallic fibers are used as filling materials, is transformed from nonconducting to conducting medium as the volume fraction of filling metallic fibers is increased from zero : such drastic change in property is called the percolation. It is desired both for practical and theoretical purposes to understand the physics underlying the percolation and to estimate the percolation threshold that is defined by the minimum volume fraction of the metallic fibers for which the percolation occurs. In this study, percolation thresholds are calculated by Monte Carlo Computer simulation. Both lattice and continuum spaces are considered and detailed microstructures of metallic fibers are modelled as rigid and flexible bodies for both model spaces. Simulations are carried out for wide range of aspect ratios and discussions are given.

고온의 정상상태에서 조사된 후 재조직(restructuring)과 균열(cracking)이 일어난 핵연료 내에서 결정립 외부 공극의 을 결정할 수 있는 퍼콜레이션(Percolation) 모델을 개발하였다. 핵연료 펠렛은 다수의 작은 정육각형 결정립들로 구성된 큰 정육각형으로 모의한다. 핵연료봉은 형상과 열적 특성이 다른 네 개의 영역으로 구분하고 각 경계 위치를 임계온도로부터 계산한다. 공극의 상호연결분율은, 몬테카를로 방법으로써 싸이트(Site)의 채워짐 여부를 점검하고 Hoshen-Kopelman 방법으로써 자유 공간에 연결된 클러스터(Cluster)에 포함된 싸이트들의 수를 계산하여 채워진 싸이트의 총 개수에 대한 연결 싸이트들의 개수의 비로써 구한다. AECL-2230, CBX 핵연료봉 실험의 기체 방출분율 자료에 대하여, FASTGRASS 코드의 상호연결분율 함수를 영역별로 계산한 상호연결분율로 대치하여 계산한 결과와 비교하였다. 균열과 재조직은 핵분열 기체 방출에 상당히 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 모델의 주요 장점은 결정립계에서의 상호연결현상을 단순 상호연결분율보다 좀더 사실적으로 모의하며 결정립의 성장과 균열을 고려할 수 있다는 점이다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of BN (boron nitride) on the thermal and the electrical conductivity of composites. In case of epoxy/BN composites, the thermal conductivity was increased as the BN contents were increased. Epoxy/AgNP (Ag nanoparticle) nanocomposites exhibited a slight change of thermal conductivity and showed a electrical percolation threshold at 20 vol% of Ag nanoparticles. At the fixed Ag nanoparticle content below the electrical percolation threshold, increasing the amount of BN enhanced the electrical conductivity as well as thermal conductivity for the epoxy/AgNP/BN composites.

Polymer-based electrically conductive pastes have been used to make the conductive paths between voltage sources and devices. The pastes used for these applications consist of two main components: a polymer binder and a conductive filler. Having both low viscosity and good metal-encapsulating properties, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) was regarded to be a good candidate as a binder for the conductive paste. We have prepared a formulation for a novel conductive paste based on CAB. Preliminary studies showed that this conductive paste revealed stable conductivity, together with uniform coating and flexibility.

Perovskite형 PMN 은 약 -12$^{\circ}C$에서 Curie 최대치를 (Tm)를 가지며 1KHz에서 매우 5598;은 유전상수(~18000)를 갖기 때문에 유전체로의 응용이 큰데, PMN의제조시 쉽게 생성되는 Pyrochlore상은 일반적으로 매우 낮은 유전률(⊆210)을 가져 계의 전체 유전률을 크게 저하시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며 이런 이유로 이제까지의 연구의 초점의 주로 제조공정중 Pyrochlore 상의 첨가량 및 입자크기에 따른 PMN-Pyrechlore 2상혼합체에서 Prochlore 상의부피분률을 변화시킬 때 유전물의 변화률 GEM(General Effective Media)식을 이용하여 논의하고자한다. Pyrochlore상의 입자크기가 클 경우 2상혼합체 PMN 의 유전률은 Pyrocholre 상의 양이 증가함에 따라 서서히 감소하였으나 입자크기가 작은 겨우 급겨한 갑소를 보였다. 결국 2상의 입자크기 차이는 2상혼합체인 PMN의유전류과 밀접하 ㄴ관계가 있으며. 또한 유전률이 급격히 떨어지는 임계부피분률이 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 Pyrochlore상의첨가량이 증가함에 따라 2상혼합체인 PMN의 유전률의 변화는 GEM식 적용에 있어서는 임계부피률과 t값을 정확히 정하는 것이 중요한데 임계부피분률의 설정은 Perovskite PMN 과 Pyrochlore상의 입자 크기비를 이용하여 Kusy 이론을 기초로 결정하였으며, t 값은 퍼콜레이션 Power-law식에 적용시켜 정하였다였다

In this study, we measure the initial electrical conductivity of SCF/rubber specimens and SCF/rubber specimens with nickel particles respectively. The corresponding electrical conductivity with compressive strain on the specimens is also measured. Through this experiment, we observed the effects of the volume fraction of carbon fiber, nickel particles and external strain on the electrical conductivity. Experiments show that even a small difference in the volume fraction of SCF plays a major role in the change of the electrical conductivity and that the piezoresistivity increases due to fiber reorientation respond to external strain. In addition, the nickel particles contribute to improving the electrical conductivity in specimens with carbon fibers above the threshold volume fraction. It was confirmed that there is an effect of offsetting the increment in the piezoresistivity caused by the reorientation of carbon fibers according to external strain.

In order to develope the porous alumina ceramics with high strength, the pore characteristics and compressive strength were investigated in terms of relation to the conditions of spark-plasma sintering and the contents of graphite as a pore precursor. Porous alumina bodies were successfully prepared by spark-plasma sintering and burning out graphite in air. High porous bodies were fabricated by sintering at 1000${\circ}C$ for 3 min under a pressure of 30 MPa, heating rate of 80${\circ}C$/min and on-off pulse type of 12:2. For example, alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed high porosity of 50∼57%. Also, the open porosity increased with graphite content. The relationship between pore characteristics and graphite contents could be explained by percolation model depending on cluster number and size. Porous alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed the high compressive strength of 55∼200 MPa. This great improvement in strength was considered to be mainly due to the spark-plasma discharges and the self-heating action between particles.
