Microdroplet 시험법과 전기저항 측정을 이용하여 탄소섬유강화 epoxy-AT-PEI 복합재료의 손상 감지능 및 계면물성평가에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. AT-PEI 함량이 증가함에 따라 기지재료의 파괴인성은 증가하였으며, 이로 인한 에너지흡수 메커니즘에 의해서 계면전단강도 역시 증가하였다. Microdroulet 시험에서 순수 에폭시는 취성파괴 현상을 그리고 15 phr AT-PEI의 경우에는 파괴인성의 증가로 인해 연성 파단 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 경화 후에 열 수축에 의한 전기저항 변화는 AT-PEI 함량 증가에 따라 증가하였으며. 가변하중 하에서 순수 에폭시에 함침된 탄소섬유의 같은 응력까지의 도달시간과 기울기는 15 phr AT-PEI의 경우보다 더 빠르고 높았다. 경화과정과 가역적인 하중 하에서의 전기저항 측정으로부터 얻은 결과는 기지재료의 파괴인성과 잘 일치하였다.

나노입자를 이용하여 강화 효과를 높이기 위해서는 고분자 기지 내부의 균일한 분산 상태를 확보하여야 한다. 또한 균일분산 조건 확보 후 균일 분산상태를 증명할 평가자료가 필요하다. 본 연구는 에폭시 수지와 SiC 나노입자를 혼합한 SiC/에폭시 복합 수지를 제조할 경우 커패시턴스 측정법을 이용한 강화재 분산도 예측 연구를 진행하였다. 커패시턴스는 전기용량을 의미하며 측정 재료의 내부 전하량과 비례한다. 기존 에폭시 수지에 비해 나노 SiC 입자를 함유할 경우 전하량이 증가되는 이론을 바탕으로 구간별 커패시턴스 측정에 따른 분산도 평가를 진행하고, 커패시턴스 분산도 예측방법에 대한 타당성을 FE-SEM과 물리적 강도 증가 방법으로 평가하였다. 소니케이션 분산 방법과 교반기 분산 방법을 이용하여 분산 방법에 따른 SiC 나노입자 분산도 상태를 비교하였다. 인장강도와 커패시턴스 간의 상관관계가 있었으며, 파단면에 대한 비교를 할 때 분산성 향상에 대한 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

In order to save the energy in vehicles using renewable energy, it is necessary to reduce the weight of parts with polymer matrix composites. Carbon nanotube (CNT) is the nano-scale reinforcement used to increase the interlaminar strength of fiber reinforced composites or enhance the fracture toughness of polymer. However, since the degree of improvement in mechanical properties varies according to the various experimental conditions such as shape of reinforcement, types of matrix and dispersion of reinforcement, research to find the optimal conditions is essentially needed. In this study, CNT/epoxy composites with different CNT concentration were fabricated under the same conditions, and the optimal CNT content (2 wt%) was found through Mode 1 fracture toughness test. Furthermore, through optical microscopy, it was confirmed that the fracture toughness was rather decreased due to the CNT aggregation when the CNT content exceeded 2 wt%.

Biodegradable epoxy (B-epoxy) was prepared from diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and epoxidized linseed oil. The mechanical properties of B-epoxy composites reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/B-epoxy) were examined by employing dynamic mechanical analysis, critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) tests, and impact strength tests. The electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) of the composites was evaluated using reflection and absorption methods. Mechanical properties of MWCNTs/B-epoxy were enhanced with an increase in the MWCNT content, whereas they deteriorated when the MWCNT content was >5 parts per hundred resin (phr). This can likely be attributed to the entanglement of MWCNTs with each other in the B-epoxy due to the presence of an excess amount of MWCNTs. The highest EMI-SE obtained was ~16 dB for the MWCNTs/B-epoxy composites with a MWCNT content of 13 phr at 1.4 GHz. The composites (13 phr) exhibited the minimum EMI-SE (90%) when used as shielding materials at 1.4 GHz. The EMI-SE of the MWCNTs/B-epoxy also increased with an increase in the MWCNT content, which is a key factor affecting the EMI-SE.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/epoxy composites are prepared by a vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) method. The mechanical properties, fracture surface morphologies, and thermal stabilities of these nanocomposites are evaluated for epoxy resins with various amounts of MWCNTs. Composites consisting of different amounts of MWCNTs displayed an increase of the work of adhesion between the MWCNTs and the matrix, which improved both the tensile and impact strengths of the composites. The tensile and impact strengths of the MWCNT/epoxy composite improved by 59 and 562% with 0.3 phr of MWCNTs, respectively, compared to the epoxy composite without MWCNTs. Thermal stability of the 0.3 phr MWCNT/epoxy composite increased compared to other epoxy composites with MWCNTs. The enhancement of the mechanical and thermal properties of the MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites is attributed to improved dispersibility and strong interfacial interaction between the MWCNTs and the epoxy in the composites prepared by VARTM.

This study investigates the flexural properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced basalt/epoxy composites under conditions with and without moisture absorption. The basalt/CNT/epoxy composites were fabricated using 1 wt% silanized MWCNTs and kept in seawater for over 4 months. The flexural properties of the moisture absorbed specimens were evaluated and compared with those of dry specimens. The flexural properties of basalt/CNT/epoxy composites were found to decrease with moisture absorption. The flexural strength and modulus of moisture absorbed specimens were 22% and 16% lower, respectively, than those of the dry specimen. Scanning electron microscope examination of the fracture surfaces revealed that the decreases of flexural properties in the moisture absorbed specimen were due to the weakening of interfacial bonding from swelling of the epoxy matrix.

In order to develop electrical insulation materials, epoxy/micro-silica composite (EMC) and epoxy/micro-silica/nano-silicate composite (EMNC) were prepared, and their tensile and flexural strength, AC insulation breakdown strength and thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient were compared. Nano-silicate was prepared in an epoxy matrix by our AC electric field process. All properties of the neat epoxy were improved by the addition of micro-silica, which was improved much further by the addition of nano-silicate to the EMC system.

This comprehensive study delves into the intricate process of exfoliating and functionalizing boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) extracted from hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and meticulously explores their potential application within epoxy composites. The extensive research methodology encompasses a sequence of treatments involving hydrothermal and sonication processes aimed at augmenting the dispersion of BNNSs in solvents. Leveraging advanced analytical techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and FTIR spectroscopy, the study rigorously analyzes a spectrum of changes in the BNNS's properties, including layer count variations, interlayer interactions, crystal structure modifications, and the introduction of functional groups. The research also rigorously evaluates the impact of integrating BNNSs, specifically glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-functionalized BNNSs, on the thermal conductivity of epoxy composites. The conclusive findings exhibit notable enhancements in thermal properties, predominantly attributed to the enhanced dispersion of fillers and enhanced interactions within the epoxy matrix. This pioneering work illuminates the wide potential of functionalized BNNSs for significantly enhancing the thermal conductivity of epoxy composites, paving the way for advanced materials engineering and practical applications.

에폭시 adduct carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile(CTBN)은 CTBN과 에폭시수지를 블렌딩하여 제조하였다. CTBN과 폴리우레탄(PU) 및 에폭시수지로 CTBN/PU/epoxy를 제조하였다. CTBN이 5 wt%에서 CTBN/PU/Epoxy는 PU의 함량이 증가할 수록 damping 피크가 이동하였다. PU의 함량이 증가할수록 상용성이 증가함을 의미한다. 그러나 CTBN의 함량이 증가함에 따라 상용성은 감소하였다. CTBN/PU/epoxy에서는 PU의 함량이 10wt%에서 최대 굴곡값을 나타냈으나, PU 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. CTBN/epoxy에서 PU를 첨가함에 따라 파괴인성은 증가하였다. 파괴단면에서 전단변형과 공동화에 의한 응력백화현상을 보였다. CTBN의 공동화와 PU를 도입한 에폭시 매트릭스의 전단변형이 CTBN/PU/epoxy의 강인화기구이다.
