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.

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

Electromagnetic interference shielding composite with low density ($1.18g/cm^3$) was fabricated using electroless plated FeCo magnetic metal hollow fibers and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) polymer. Aspect ratio of the fibers were controlled and their hollow structure was obtained by heat treatment process. The FeCo hollow fibers were then mixed with EPDM to manufacture the composite. The higher aspect ratio of the magnetic metal hollow fibers resulted in high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (30 dB) of the composite due to its low sheet resistance (30 ohm/sq). The enhanced electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness was mainly attributed to the formation of conducting network over the percolation threshold by high aspect ratio of fibers as well as an increase of the reflection loss by impedance mismatch owing to low sheet resistance, absorption loss, and multiple internal reflections loss.
