웨어러블 디바이스용 유연 전극 소재 개발을 위해 탄소섬유 토우(carbon fibers tow)의 전처리에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 조사하고, 이를 활용하여 포도당을 타겟으로 전기화학적 비효소 센서를 제작하였다. 탄소섬유 토우는 탈사이징(desizing)과 활성화(activation) 공정을 통해 전처리 되었으며, 활성화는 화학적 산화와 전기화학적 산화의 두 가지 방법으로 이루어졌다. 전처리된 샘플은 주사전자 현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 표면 분석되었으며, 전기화학적 특성 및 센싱성능 분석은 시간대전류법와 순환전압 전류법, 전기화학 임피던스 분석법을 이용하여 수행되었다. 탄소섬유 토우는 전처리를 통해 감소된 R_et와 ΔE_p, 증가된 I_p 등 향상된 전기화학적 특성을 보였으며, 두 활성화 방법에서는 유사한 전기화학적 특성이 얻어졌다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학센서 적용을 위해 전기화학적으로 활성화된 탄소섬유 토우를 최종 전극 물질로 선정하였다. 이 전극을 기반으로 제작된 비효소적 포도당 검출 센서는 0.09899~3.754 mM과 3.754~50 mM의 선형 구간에서 각각 0.744 mA/mM과 0.330 mA/mM 정도의 향상된 감도를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 탄소섬유 토우의 전극 소재로서 사용 가능성을 확인했으며, 고성능 유연 전극 소재 개발에 기초 연구로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

탄소섬유의 성능은 탄소 섬유 강화 플라스틱(CFRP)과 같은 고품질 고분자 복합재료에 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해 탄소섬유 물성에 큰 영향을 주는 전구체 섬유의 기계적, 물리적, 구조적 특성을 개선할 수 있는 최적화된 방사공정과 이를 위한 적합한 전구체 공중합 고분자를 사용하는 것은 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 메타크릴산(MAA)의 함량과 주입시간, 2,2'-아조비스(2-메틸프로피오니트릴) (AIBN)의 농도를 합성공정 변수로 설정하였으며, 용액 중합법(solution polymerization)에 의해 Poly(AN-co-MAA)가 합성되었다. 305,138 g/mol의 분자량과 4.2%의 MAA 비율을 가지는 Poly(AN-co-MAA)를 N,N-디메틸포름아미드(DMF)에 16.0 wt% 농도로 용해시킨 후 기격습식방사법(dry-jet-wet spinning)으로 전구체 섬유를 제조하였다. 섬유의 인장강도는 ~1.06 GPa, 인장탄성률은 ~22.01 GPa였으며, 섬유에서의 공극 및 구조적 결함은 관찰되지 않았다.

An investigation was conducted to study the statistical nature of tensile strength and static fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP) materials. A good understanding of statistical aspects of strength data is essential for the successful application of such materials because these composites unpossess material uniformity as compared with conventional metallic materials. In this paper, a statistical approach based on Weibull distribution was applied to the test data to evaluate the dispersion in the tensile strength and static fracture toughness by the change of stacking method and test temparature of the CFRP materials.

A polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based film speaker is successfully fabricated with enhanced bass sound by incorporating buckled nanospring carbon nanotubes (NS-CNTs) as fillers. Various concentrations up to 1-7 wt% of uniformly dispersed buckled NS-CNTs are loaded to increase the beta (β)-phase fraction, crystallinity, and dielectric constant of the speaker, and this results in the bass part enhancement of about 19 dB full scale (dBFS) at 7 wt% filler loading of the piezoelectric film speaker.

Recently, sea algae cultivation as carbon sink and carbon dioxide fixation have been considered. Also, various researches on bioenergy derived from sea algae and the utilization of fibers, saccharide, and lipid of sea algae have been performing. Till now, algae fibers has been used for manufacturing of paper and reinforcing of polymer composites and the extracts of sea algae are used for cosmetics, pharmaceutical materials and food such as agar. Especially, algae fiber has so similar properties to cellulose in terms of crystallinity and functional groups that it can be utilized as reinforcements of biocomposites. Biocomposites as alternatives of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites are environmentally friendly polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers and are actively applying to the automobiles and construction industries. In this paper, characteristics of algae fiber and biocomposites reinforced with algae fiber as environmentally friendly energy materials have been introduced.

We report a covalent functionalization of graphene nanoparticles (GnPs) employing 2,3,4-Tri-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranosyl azide followed by fabrication of an epoxy/functionalized graphene nanocomposite and an evaluation of its thermo-mechanical performance. Successful functionalization of GnP was confirmed via thermal and spectroscopic study. Raman spectroscopy indicated that the functionalization was on the edge of the graphene sheets; the basal plane was not perturbed as a result of the functionalization. The epoxy/functionalized GnP composite system exhibited an increase in flexural modulus (~18%) and glass transition temperature (${\sim}10^{\circ}C$) compared to an un-functionalized GnP based epoxy composite.

CO$_{2}$gas중에서 산화된 활성탄소섬유를 77K에서 질소흡착에 의해 흡착등온곡선을 구하였다. 미세공부피와 외부표면적은 t-법으로 구하였으며, 평균기공크기와 기공분포는 Dubinin-Astakhov법으로 구하여 기공발당과정을 고찰하였다. 산화반응 초기(약 40% burn-off까지)에 섬유내부에 발달하는 미세공은 burn-off가 40%를 넘으면 서서히 큰 미세공으로 성장하며, burn-off가 약 60%이상되면 미세기공은 확대 또는 합체되어 점차 중기공으로 성장하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 고온산화반응으로 발달한 기공은 저온에서 생성된 기공보다 크다.

Mass production of graphene-based materials, which have high specific surface area, is of importance for industrial applications. Herein, we report on a facile approach to produce thermally modified graphene oxide (TMG) in large quantities. We performed this experiment with a hot plate under environments that have relatively low temperature and no using inert gas. TMG materials showed a high specific surface area (430 $m^2g^{-1}$). Successful reduction was confirmed by elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetic analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The resulting materials might be useful for various applications such as in rechargeable batteries, as hydrogen storage materials, as nano-fillers in composites, in ultracapacitors, and in chemical/bio sensors.

Based on the differential electrode equilibria approach, potentiometric YSZ sensors with semiconducting oxide electrodes for CO detection are developed. To improve the selectivity, sensitivity and response-time of the sensor, our strategy includes (a) selection of an oxide with a semiconducting response to CO, (b) addition of other semiconducting materials, (c) addition of a catalyst (Pd), (d) utilization of combined p- and n-type electrodes in one sensor configuration, and (e) optimization of operating temperatures. Excellent sensing performance is obtained by a novel device structure incorporating $La_2CuO_4$ electrodes on one side and $TiO_2$-based electrodes on opposite substrate faces with Pt contacts. The resulting response produces additive effects for the individual $La_2CuO_4$ and $TiO_2$-based electrodes voltages, thereby realizing an even higher CO sensitivity. The device also is highly selective to CO versus NO with minor sensitivity for NO concentration, compared to a notably large CO sensitivity.

Lubricant-based nanofluids were prepared by dispersing carbon nanoparticles in gear oil. In this study, the effects of the particle size, shape and dispersity of the particles on the tribological properties of nanofluids were investigated. Dispersion experiments were conducted with a high-speed bead mill and an ultrasonic homogenizer, and the surfaces of the nanoparticles were simultaneously modified with several dispersants. The effective thermal conductivity of the nanofluids was measured by the transient hot-wire method, and the tribological behaviors of the nanofluids were also investigated with a disk-on-disk tribo-tester. The results of this study clearly showed that the combination of the nanoparticles, the deagglomeration process, the dispersant and the dispersion solvent is very important for the dispersity and tribological properties of nanofluids. Lubricant-based nanofluids showed relatively low thermal conductivity enhancement, but they were highly effective in decreasing the frictional heat that was generated. For nanofluids containing 0.1vol.% graphite particles in an oil lubricant, The friction coefficient in the boundary and fluid lubrication range was reduced to approximately 70% of the original value of pure lubricant.
