Silicon carbide(SiC) exhibits many unique properties, such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and high temperature stability. In this study, a SiC-fiber web was prepared from polycarbosilane(PCS) solution by employing the electrospinning process. Then, the SiC-fiber web was pyrolyzed at $1800^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere after it was subjected to a thermal curing. The SiC-fiber web (ground web)/phenolic resin (resol) composite was fabricated by hot pressing after mixing the SiC-fiber web and the phenolic resin. The SiC-fiber web composition was controlled by changing the fraction of filler (filler/binder = 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5). Thermal conductivity measurement indicates that at the filler content of 60%, the thermal conductivity was highest, at 6.6 W/mK, due to the resulting structure formed by the filler and binder being closed-packed. Finally, the microstructure of the composites of SiC-fiber web/resin was investigated by FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD.

This research examined the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete at unstable environmental conditions. Concrete composites with varying percentages of steel and glass fibers were analyzed. Compressive, indirect tensile, and fracture toughness properties were evaluated using the Edge Notched Disc Bend (ENDB) test under freezing-thawing and acidic environments and the results were compared with normal conditions. Steel fibers decreased the strength in the specified cycles, while glass fibers showed a normal strength trend. The compressive, tensile and fracture toughness of the samples containing 1.5 vol.% fibers showed a 1.28-, 2.13- and 4.5-fold enhancement compared to samples without fibers, after 300 freezing-thawing cycles, respectively.

고분자로부터 제조되는 탄화규소 섬유는 고온 내산화성, 인장강도, 그리고 경량성 때문에 세라믹 복합체의 강화재료로 주로 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서 탄화규소 연속섬유는 유연한 로프 형태의 고온 발열체(> 650℃)로 제조하기 위해 사용되었다. 특히, 탄화규소 섬유 발열체는 고효율의 저항 발열을 위해 단면적과 길이에 대한 저항 변화를 2-point probe 방법으로 측정하고, 비정질 탄화규소 섬유에 존재하는 산소 불순물과 결정립의 크기 제어를 통해 로프형 섬유 발열체의 저항 값을 최적화하였다. 그 결과, 약 100~200 Ω의 저항 범위를 가지는 탄화규소 섬유 발열체는 탄소 섬유 발열체보다 1.5배의 우수한 소비전력 효율을 가졌다.

In this paper is presented the solution method for three-dimensional problem of transversely isotropic body's elastoplastic deformation by the finite element method (FEM). The process of problem solution consists of: determining the effective parameters of a transversely isotropic medium; construction of the finite element mesh of the body configuration, including the determination of the local minimum value of the tape width of non-zero coefficients of equation systems by using of front method; constructing of the stiffness matrix coefficients and load vector node components of the equation for an individual finite element's state according to the theory of small elastoplastic deformations for a transversely isotropic medium; the formation of a resolving symmetric-tape system of equations by summing of all state equations coefficients summing of all finite elements; solution of the system of symmetric-tape equations systems by means of the square root method; calculation of the body's elastoplastic stress-strain state by performing the iterative process of the initial stress method. For each problem solution stage, effective computational algorithms have been developed that reduce computational operations number by modifying existing solution methods and taking into account the matrix coefficients structure. As an example it is given, the problem solution of fibrous composite straining in the form of a rectangle with a system of circular holes.

The native extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of an integrated fibrous protein network and proteoglycan-based ground (hydrogel) substance. We designed a novel electrospinning technique to engineer a three dimensional fiber-hydrogel composite that mimics the native ECM structure, is injectable, and has practical macroscale dimensions for clinically relevant tissue defects. In a model system of articular cartilage tissue engineering, the fiber-hydrogel composites enhanced the biological response of adult stem cells, with dynamic mechanical stimulation resulting in near native levels of extracellular matrix. This technology platform was expanded through structural and biochemical modification of the fibers including hydrophilic fibers containing chondroitin sulfate, a significant component of endogenous tissues, and hydrophobic fibers containing ECM microparticles.

In this study, a carbon nanotube (CNT) flexible strain sensor was fabricated with CNT based epoxy and rubber composites for tactile sensing. The flexible strain sensor can be fabricated as a long fibrous sensor and it also may be able to measure large deformation and contact information on a structure. The long and flexible sensor can be considered to be a continuous sensor like a dendrite of a neuron in the human body and we named the sensor as a biomimetic artificial neuron. For the application of the neuron in biomimetic engineering, an ANMS (Artificial Neuron Matrix System) was developed by means of the array of the neurons with a signal processing system. Moreover, a strain positioning algorithm was also developed to find localized tactile information of the ANMS with Labview for the application of an artificial e-skin.

Poly(glycolic acid) (PGA)와 poly [(R) -3-hydrokybutyrate] (P3HB) 및 poly(butylenes succinate-co-L-lactate) (PBSL) 복합재료를 체내에서 서로 다른 가수분해속도를 보완하여 저가의 의료용 흡수성 복합재료로 응용하고자 연구하였다. 그 결과 PBSL/PGA와 P3HB/PGA 복합섬유는 인산염 완충용액 중에서 가수분해되는 것이 확인되었으며, PBSL/PGA 복합섬유는 PGA의 분해에 의해 발생된 glycolic acid에 의해 PBSL의 분해가 촉진되는 메카니즘이 확인되었다. PBSL/PGA 복합섬유는 lipase PS가 존재함에 의해 상당히 빠른 가수분해가 발생하는 것이 확인되었으며, 대기중에서는 거의 가수분해가 발생되지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. P3HB/PGA 복합섬유 역시 대기중에서 적당한 인장강도를 유지하고 있는 것이 확인된 것으로 보아 본 연구를 통하여 이들 복합섬유는 의료용 흡수성 복합재료와 환경 적합재료로서 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 전기방사 장치의 드럼형태 컬렉터의 회전속도를 조절함으로써 제조된 섬유가 랜덤 또는 배향성 (1축, 2축)을 갖는 폴리이미드(PI) 나노섬유 매트를 제조하였다. 제조된 PI 매트의 구조를 전자현미경(SEM)을 통해 관찰한 결과 전술한 배향성을 확인할 수 있었다. 1 M 리튬트리풀루오로-메탄-설포네이트와 테트라-에틸렌 글리콜디메틸 에테르의 혼합용액에 PI 매트를 침지시킨 후 이온전도기로 이온전도도를 측정하였다. 2축배향 매트가 가장 높은 이온전도도를 나타내었다. 1축 배향의 경우 이온의 이동방향과 수직방향이 평행방향보다 이온전도도가 낮게 나타났고, 아울러 일정한 주기성을 나타내었다. 주기성은 섬유간 거리와 이온 속도를 이용하여 설명할 수 있었다.

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) are fibrous form of activated carbon (AC) with higher mechanical strength and flexibility, which make them suitable for building modules for applications including directional gas flow such as air and gas purification. Similarly, ACFs are anticipated to excel in the efficient capture of CO₂. However, due to the difficulties in fabricating monofilament carbon fibers at a laboratory scale, most of the studies regarding ACFs for CO₂ capture have relied on electrospun carbon fibers. In this study, we fabricated monofilament carbon fibers from PAN-based monofilament precursors by stabilization and carbonization. Then, ACFs were successfully prepared by chemical activation using KOH. Different weight ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:4 were employed in the fabrication of ACFs, and the samples were designated as ACF-1 to ACF-4, respectively. As a function of KOH ratio, increase in surface area could be observed. However, the CO₂ adsorption trend did not follow the surface area trend, and the ACF-3 with second largest surface area exhibited the highest CO₂ adsorption capacity. To understand the phenomena, nitrogen content and ultramicropore distribution, which are important factors determining CO₂ adsorption capacity, were considered. As a result, while nitrogen content could not explain the phenomena, ultramicropore distribution could provide a reasoning that the excessive etching led ACF-4 to develop micropore structure with a broader distribution, resulting in high surface area yet deteriorated CO₂ adsorption.

섬유강화플라스틱(glass fiber reinforced plastics)은 수지에 섬유상의 보강재를 복합화하여 고강도 특성을 나타내게한 대표적인 플라스틱 복합소재이다. 섬유강화플라스틱 성형제품의 기계적 물성을 결정하는 요소는 강화재로 사용되는 섬유상 소재이므로 섬유소재에 대한 연구는 관심이 높은 대상이나, 기지재를 구성하는 수지의 물성에 영향을 미치는 충진재의 영향에 관한 연구는 많지 않은 편이다. 그러나, 플라스틱 또는 수지 조성물의 물성은 미네랄 충진재에 의하여 결정되며, 기지재가 복합소재에 미치는 영향이 높은 만큼 본 연구에서는 $3-6{\mu}m$ 크기의 중질 탄산칼슘을 사용하여 충진재의 크기와 첨가량이 섬유강화복합체에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 시편은 시트몰딩 컴파운드(SMC, Sheet molding compound) 방법에 의하여 제조되었으며, 기계적 특성은 굴곡강도와 인장강도 결과를 비교 분석 하였다. 그 결과 탄산칼슘의 크기 또는 첨가량이 성형시편의 기계적 강도에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 그 중에서도 가장 낮은 평균 입경 ($2.8{\mu}m$) 조건에서 가장 높은 기계적 특성을 나타냈다.
