The aim of this study is to prepare mixed Ni/Mg/Al/Cu/Ti powder in epoxy matrix with carbon fiber (NCF, MCF, ACF, CCF, TCF) conductive composite possessing eletromagnetic interference(EMI) shilding effectiveness(SE). A series if NCF/MCF/ACF/CCF/TCF composite were prepared by the hand lay up method. The various compositions of NCF/MCF/ACF/CCF/TCF were 10, 25, 50 percent by weight. The best EMI shilding effectiveness of all NCF/MCF/ACF is doout 40dB.

Epoxy/S2-glass reinforced composites (SGRPs) infused with Cloisite 30B nanoclays were manufactured using the vacuum assisted resin infusion molding (VARIM) process. Prior to infusion, the matrix and clays were thoroughly mixed using a direct mixing technique (DMT) and a high shear mixing technique (HSMT) to ensure uniform dispersion of the nanoclays. Structures with varying clay contents (1-3 wt%) were manufactured. Both pristine and SGRP nanocomposites were then subjected to mechanical testing. For the specimens manufactured by DMT, the tensile, flexural, and compressive modulus increased with increasing the clay content. Similarly, the tensile, flexural, compressive, interlaminate shear and impact strength increased with the addition of 1 wt% clay: however the trend reversed with further increase in the clay content. Specimens manufactured by HSMT showed superior properties compared to those of nanocomposites containing 1 wt% clay produced by DMT. In order to understand these phenomena a morphological study was conducted. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs revealed that HSMT led to better dispersion and changed the nanoclay structure from orderly intercalation to disorderly intercalation giving multi-directional strength.

In-plane shear tests were performed to investigate the shear property change of FRP by plasma modification. Graphite/epoxy prepreg was used as a test material and plasma source was a microwave (2.4GHz) type. Plasma was induced by oxygen gas and its flow rate was kept $4{\sim}5$sccm with low vacuum state of $10^{-3}$ Torr. Prepreg was stacked unidirectionally ($[0^0]_8$) after plasma modification. Wettability was determined by measuring a contact angle. The results showed that the contact angle was decreased from $86^0$ to $45^0$ after plasma modification. Shear strength was also improved by ${\sim}10%$. SEM examination was made on the fracture surface and functional group produced by the plasma modification was investigated by XPS.

A modified mixed mode bending test was performed to investigate the mixed mode delamination for carbon/epoxy composite material. Various mixed mode ratios could be produced by changing the applied load position on the loading lever and the bending load position on the specimen. The modified mixed mode bending test was analyzed to obtain strain energy release rates using beam theory, compliance method and finite element method, This results were in good agreement with the experimental result, which confirmed the validity of this test.

In the context of classic conical shell formulation, nonlinear forced vibration analysis of truncated conical shells and annular plates made of multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass composites has been presented. The composite material is reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) and also fiberglass for which the material properties are defined according to a 3D Mori-Tanaka micromechanical scheme. By utilizing the Jacobi elliptic functions, the frequency-deflection curves of truncated conical shells and annular plates related to their forced vibrations have been derived. The main focus is to study the influences of CNT amount, fiberglass volume, open angle, fiber angle, truncated distance and force magnitude on forced vibrational behaviors of multi-scale truncated conical shells and annular plates.

The thermal impact of mica/epoxy paper(130${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) is investigated using XRD, DSC and TGL X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis was performed to know the position and structure of mica crystal in insulation materials. A differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) was used to measure glass transition temperature and excess enthalphy of the composite materials that had been subjected to thermal aging. The glass transition temperature(T$_{g}$) measured by DSC is observed at 95.43$^{\circ}C$ and 113.43$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The T$_{g}$ also increases with increased aging time. Measurements performed by TGA(thermogravimetric analysis) have showed that weight loss profile of sound specimens are lower than those aged.ged.

In order to analyse the degradation process of epoxy/glass fiber for outdoor condition, FRP laminate was exposed to the wavelength of ultraviolet rays and evaluated by comparing contact angle, surface resistivity, surface potential decay, and ESCA spectrum respectively. Finally, We can conclude that the degradation phenomena on the surface of epoxy composites are dominated by the induction of ester and carboxyl groups.

[ ${\gamm}-Glycidoxy$ ] propyl trimethoxy silane, CTBN rubber(carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile rubber) and GMA(glycidyl methacrylate) were reacted on the surface of silica one by one in existence of TEA(triethylamine) or BPO(benzoyl peroxide). The amount of reactant was $2.5{\sim}5.8%$ of treated silica weight. The treated silica was mixed with epoxy resin and MTHPA(methyl tetrahydro phthalic anhydride) in the range of $0{\sim}60%$(wt.%) of total component. The thermal properties were tested for cured products. By using silica treated with silane/rubber or silane/rubber/vinyl, comparing with 3% of rubber mixed directly, it had 13% higher $T_g$ and 10% lower thermal expansion coefficient at $35{\sim}55%$ of silica contents.

This study investigates the thermal and mechanical properties of insulation elements through mixing epoxy based micro- and nano particles. Regarding thermal properties, DSC and DMA were used to calculate crosslinking densities for various types of insulation elements. In a mechanical property of bending strength, shape and scale parameters were obtained using the Weibull plot. This study obtained the most excellent results of scale parameters, such as Vol 3.2%, in the bending strength of EMNCs.

An apparatus was developed to repetitively apply a $-196^{\circ}C$ thermal load to coupon-sized mechanical test specimens. Using this device, IM7/5250-4 (carbon / bismaleimide) cross-ply and quasi-isotropic laminates were submerged in liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) 400 times. Ply-by-ply micro-crack density, laminate modulus, and laminate strength were measured as a function of thermal cycles. Quasi-isotropic samples of IM7/977-3 (carbon / epoxy) composite were also manually cycled between liquid nitrogen and an oven set at $120^{\circ}C$ for 130 cycles to determine whether including elevated temperature in the thermal cycle significantly altered the degree or location of micro-cracking. In response to thermal cycling, both materials micro-cracked extensively in the surface plies fellowed by sparse cracking of the inner plies. The tensile modulus of the IM7/5250-4 specimens was unaffected by thermal cycling, but the tensile strength of two of the lay-ups decreased by as much as 8.5%.
