The surface treatment effects of reinforcement filler were investigated based on the dynamic mechanical properties of mutiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/epoxy composites. The as-received MWCNTs(R-MWCNTs) were chemically modified by direct oxyfluorination method to improve the dispersibility and adhesiveness with epoxy resins in composite system. In order to investigate the induced functional groups on MWCNTs during oxyfluorination, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used. The thermo-mechanical property of MWCNTs/epoxy composite was also measured based on effects of oxyfluorination treatment of MWCNTs. The storage modulus of MWCNTs/epoxy composite was enhanced about 1.27 times through oxyfluorination of MWCNTs fillers at $25^{\circ}C$. The storage modulus of oxyfluorinated MWCNTs (OF73-MWCNTs) reinforced epoxy composite was much higher than that of R-MWCNTs/epoxy composite. It revealed that oxygen content led to the efficient carbon-fluorine covalent bonding during oxyfluorination. These functional groups on surface modified MWCNTs induced by oxyfluorination strikingly made an important role for the reinforced epoxy composite.

HAC/PVA계 MDF 시멘트 복합재료의 수분안정성을 향상시키기 위하여 수용성 epoxy resm을 시멘트 중량에 대해 5wt% 에서 15wt%까지 첨가하고 calendering법, extruding법, warm pressing법으로 성형하여 epoxy resin첨가량 및 제조공정이 수분안정성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 제조된 시편은 건조상태 및 3일, 7일, 14일간 물 속에 침적 후 습윤강도를 3점 곡강도로 측정하고 SEM으로 표면 가까운 부분의 파단면을 관찰하고 수은압입법으로 기공분포 및 기공율을 분석하여 침수 재령벌 MDF 시멘트 복합재료의 미세조직 변화를 살펴보았다. 적량의 epoxy resin 첨가에 의해 건조강도는 감소하였으나 전반적으로 수분안정성이 향상되었다. 그러나 전반적으로 epoxy의 함량이 많아지면 초기건조강도는 감소하는 경향을 나타나었으며 epoxy 첨가량이 7wt% 이상일 경우에서는 수분안정성 역시 별다른 효과를 볼 수 없었다. 제조공정별로는 warm pressing법에 의해 성형된 경우 epoxy 첨가에 의한 강도 및 수분안정성 향상 효율이 다른 방법보다 월등히 뛰어났으며 epoxy resinmdmf 5wt%, 7wt% 첨가하였을 때, 최적의 강도 및 수분안정성 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

We prepared the amine epoxy adducts (AEA)/thin multiwalled carbon nanotubes (TWCNTs) composite particles using nonsolvent based methods including dry mechano-chemical bonding(MCB) process and supercritical fluid (SCF) process. The resulting TWCNTs/AEA composite particles have been used as curing agents for urethane modified bispheol A type epoxy resin. The thermal, thermomechanical properties of the epoxy resins cured with TWCNTs/AEA composite particles were measured by DMA and the dispersion of CNT was characterized by SEM. Because of high degree of CNT dispersion, thermal and mechanical properties of the epoxy resin cured with TWCNTs/AEA composite particles prepared by SCF process are better than those cured with mechano-chemically prepared TWCNTs/AEA composite particles.

본 연구에서는 리그닌 기반 폴리아크릴로나이트릴(polyacrylonitrile, PAN) 공중합체를 전기방사하여 나노탄소섬유 매트를 제조한 다음, 에폭시 수지를 보강하여 제조한 복합재료의 열적 특성 및 기계적 강도를 조사하였다. 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재는 에폭시 수지와 유사한 열분해 거동을 보이고 있는 반면에 유리전이온도는 $106.9^{\circ}C$로 순수에폭시 수지의 유리전이온도($T_g$) $90.7^{\circ}C$보다 다소 높은 경향으로 나타나 열적 안정성이 향상된 결과로 사료된다. 리그닌 기반 공중합체 및 순수 PAN으로 만든 나노탄소섬유 매트의 인장강도는 각각 7.2 및 9.4 MPa로 나타났으며, 리그닌 기반 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재료의 인장강도는 43.0 MPa로 나타났다. 이는 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재료에서 에폭시 수지 매트릭스(matrix) 내에서 나노탄소섬유가 강화제(reinforcing filler)로 작용한 효과로 약 6배의 인장강도 향상을 보였다. 인장강도 측정 후 시편의 절단면에서 나노탄소섬유 자체의 높은 인장강도(478.8 MPa) 및 에폭시 수지와의 약한 계면접착성에 기인하는 나노섬유의 뽑힘현상이 관찰되었다.

The microstructure, flexural properties, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of epoxy composites filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnPs) and CNT-xGnP hybrid filler were investigated. The EMI SE of the CNT-xGnP hybrid composite was higher than 25 dB at 100 MHz while that of the xGnP based composite was almost zero. The flexural modulus of the CNT-xGnP based epoxy composite continuously increased to 3.32 GPa with combined filler content up to 10 wt% while that of the CNT based epoxy composites slightly decreased to 1.96 GPa at 4 wt% CNT, and dropped to 1.57 GPa at 5 wt% loading, which is lower than that of epoxy. The CNT and CNT-xGnP samples had the same EMI SE at the same surface resistivity, because samples with the same surface conductivity have the same amount of the charge carriers.

The effects of ammonia-treated graphene oxide (GO) on composites based on epoxy resin were investigated. Ammonia solutions of different concentrations (14-28%) were used to modify GO. Nitrogen functional groups were introduced on the GO surfaces without significant structural changes. The ammonia-treated GO-based epoxy composites exhibited interesting changes in their mechanical properties related to the presence of nitrogen functional groups, particularly amine ($C-NH_2$) groups on the GO surfaces. The highest tensile and impact strength values were 42.1 MPa and 12.3 J/m, respectively, which were observed in an epoxy composite prepared with GO treated with a 28% ammonia solution. This improved tensile strength was 2.2 and 1.3 times higher than those of the neat epoxy and the non-treated GO-based epoxy composite, respectively. The amine groups on the GO ensure its participation in the cross-linking reaction of the epoxy resin under amine curing agent condition and enhance its interfacial bonding with the epoxy resin.

Recently, super fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used in many industries due to high mechanical properties. In this study, 2 different types of composite materials were manufactured in order to compare their mechanical properties. Carbon and Aramid fibers were used for reinforcement materials and Bisphenol-A type epoxy resin was for matrix. Two kinds of fiber-reinforced materials were manufactured by RIM(Resin Injection Molding) method. Before manufacturing composite materials, the optimal manufacturing and curing process condition were established and the ratio of reinforcement to epoxy resin was discussed. FT-IR analysis was conducted to clarify the structure of epoxy resin. Thermal and mechanical property test were also carried out. The cross-section of composite materials was observed using a scanning electron microscope(SEM).

The present research was aimed at comparing performance of metallic and polymer composite shells of a typical underwater vessel of length and inner diameter of 1650 mm and 350 mm respectively, based on the critical buckling pressure for operating depth of 1000 m using ANSYS. High strength steel, aluminium alloy, titanium alloy, glass / epoxy and carbon / epoxy materials were examined. The results indicated weight savings of 46 % in carbon/epoxy and 31 % in glass / epoxy when compared with high strength steel, based on the thickness of the shell for sustaining 10 MPa buckling pressure.
