Nonlinear mechanical behaviors of unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates using cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) dispersed epoxy are evaluated and compared with those of CFRP laminates without CSCNTs. Off-axis compression tests are performed to obtain the stress-strain relations. One-parameter plasticity model is applied to characterize the nonlinear response of unidirectional laminates, and nonlinear behaviors of laminates with and without CSCNTs are compared. Clear improvement in stiffness of off-axis specimens by using CSCNTs is demonstrated, which is considered to contribute the enhancement of the longitudinal compressive strength of unidirectional laminates and compressive strength of multidirectional laminates. Finally, longitudinal compressive strengths are predicted based on a kink band model including the nonlinear responses in order to demonstrate the improvement in longitudinal strength of CFRP by dispersing CSCNTs.

The gel type mixture of agarose and UV curable epoxy developed to obtain tight bonding ability and enhanced electro-optical characteristic simultaneously. This technique can be used to roll-to-roll process for fabricating the flexible LCDs.

Logarithmic electrical resistivity of the untreated or thin diameter carbon fiber composite increased suddenly to the infinity when the fiber fracture occurred by tensile electro-micromechanical test, whereas that of the ED or thick fiber composite increased relatively broadly up to the infinity. Electrical resistance of single-carbon fiber composite increased suddenly due to electrical disconnection by the fiber fracture in tensile electro-micromechanical test, whereas that of SFC increased stepwise due to the occurrence of the partial electrical contact with increasing the buckling or overlapping in compressive test. Electrical resistivity measurement can be very useful technique to evaluate interfacial properties and to monitor curing behavior of single-carbon fiber/epoxy composite under tensile/compressive loading.

In this paper, in order to improve the withstand voltage properties of epoxy resin, IPN(interpenetrating polymer network) method was introduced and the influence was investigated. The single network structure specimen(E series), simultaneous interpenetrating polymer network specimen(EM series) and pseudo interpenetrating polymer network(EMP series) specimen were manufactured. In order to understand the internal structure properties, scanning electron microscopy method was utilized, and glass transition temperature was measured. Also, AC voltage dielectric breakdown strength, tensile strength and impact strength were measured to investigate the influence upon electrical and mechanical properties. As a result, it was confirmed that simultaneous interpenetrating polymer network specimen was the most execellent.

In this paper compressive characteristics of composite egg-box panels were investigated and energy absorption was calculated from the nominal stress-strain relations obtained by the compressive tests. Several different stacking sequences and number of plies were introduced for investigation of static compression characteristics and the energy absorption rates of composite egg-box panels. The compressive stress-strain relation and energy absorption of various composite egg-box panels were compared with those of aluminium egg-box panels. From the test results it was found that the fracture behavior of composite egg-box panel was affected by stacking angle causing different local deformation, during lay-up and draping processes and types of prepreg; that is, plain weave carbon/epoxy and 4-harness satin glass/epoxy. The energy absorption capacity of composite egg-box panels were proved to be higher than that of aluminium egg-box panels with low mass.

This paper focuses on thermal properties of a newly prepared composite material by nano-silica and micro-silica mixture. Nano-silica and micro-silica mixture composites were made by dispersing surface treated nano-silica(average radius: 10 nm) and micro-size silica in epoxy resin. To investigate the effects of nano-silica and micro-size silica mixture(ENMC), the glass transition temperature (Tg), coefficients of thermal expansion(CTE) and elastic modulus of DMA properties by DSC, TMA and DMA devices were measured for the ENMC according to increase nano-silica addition contents and EMC. All properties of the neat epoxy were improved by the addition of micro-silica, which was improved much further by the addition of surface treated nano-silica to the EMC system.

항공기용 소재로 개발된 에폭시/탄소섬유 복합재료가 매트릭스의 유리전이온도에 육 박하는 온도주기를 경험할 때 발생하는 복합재료의 구조 및 물성변화를 실험과 모델링을 통 하여 연구하였다. 복합재료의 표준 경화온도인 177$^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 체류시킨후 냉각시키는 바 복 열주기는 복합재료를 취약하게 하여 결국 표면에서부터 미세크랙이발생한다는 것을 알수 있었다. 이러한 열주기에 따른 미세크랙 현상은 매트릭스의 분해반응이 발생할수 있는 유효 표면적을 증가시키고 크랙을 통하여 산소의투과를 용이하게 함으로서 산화반응을 가속화하 여 복합재료시편의 무게감소를 가속화시키는 것으로 판단된다. 특히 본 연구에서는 등온과 등속도 승온조건을 주기적으로 반복하는 열주기 조건을 해석하기 위하여 열주기 조건을 특 정온도에서의 등오시간으로 전환할 수 있는 e-quivalent cycle time(ECT)를 제안하였고 이 를 이용하여 열주기에 의한 복합재료 손상의 가속/감속 현상을 규명할수있었다.

This paper presents a study of the tensile behavior of carbon and glass fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid laminates manufactured by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). The objective of this study was to develop and characterize carbon fiber reinforced plastic hybrid composite material that is low cost and light-weight and that possesses adequate strength and stiffness. The effect of position and content of the glass fabric layer on the tensile properties of the hybrid laminates was examined. The strength and stiffness of the hybrid laminates showed a steady decrease with an increase of the glass fabric content this decrease was almost linear. Fracture strain of these laminates showed a slight increasing trend when glass fabric content was increased up to 3 layers, but at a glass fabric content > 3 layers the strain was almost constant. When glass fabric layers were at both outer surfaces, the hybrid laminate exhibited a slightly higher tensile strength and elastic modulus due to the small amount of glass yarn pull-out.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), which have been developed for their high mechanical properties, are insufficient to secure machinery. This paper investigates the use of magnetic abrasive finishing methods and the characteristics of surface roughness for mirror machining of CFRP. The cylindrical surface of CFRP was ground using a diamond paste with sizes of 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 6${\mu}m$. Consequently, an effective surface roughness of 0.03${\mu}m(R_a)$ could be obtained via a paste size of 0.5${\mu}m$. The surface roughness was not improved due to epoxy abrasion between the carbon fiber and the epoxy.

The effect of surface treatments with the atmospheric pressure flame plasma (APFP) and epoxy silane (ES) is experimentally investigated to yield the best mechanical properties of silica ($V_f=40%$) reinforced elastomeric composites. The tensile strength of the composites is increased significantly with decrease the mean diameter. When the diameter is $2.2{\mu}m$, that of the composite is increased about 1.4 times compared to the matrix (2.52 MPa). Also, the tensile strength of silica reinforced composites with APFP and ES treated is increased 8.8~13.3%, 9.9~12.5%, respectively. When the diameter is $26.6{\mu}m$, the tensile modulus of the composite is increased about 2 times compared to the matrix (0.88MPa), and the tensile modulus of silica reinforced composites with APFP and ES treated is increased 15.6~22.8%, 21.1~5.8%, respectively. Conventional silane coupling agent treatment have a few disadvantages because of using organic solvents. However APFP treatment is a fast, economic and eco-friendly method to improve the mechanical properties.
