This study aims to obtain fundamental understandings involving the manufacturing processes of nano-composites with chemically surface-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs), and explore the role of functionalized MWCNTs in the epoxy/MWCNT composites. For this purpose, MWCNTs were purified by the thermo-chemical oxidation process, and incorporated into an epoxy matrix by in situ polymerization process, the surface of MWCNTs were functionalized with carboxyl functions which were demonstrated by an infrared spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of epoxy/MWCNT nano-composites were measured to investigate the role of a chemically functionalized carbon nanotubes. To improve the dispersion quality of MWCNTs in the epoxy matrix, methanol and acetone were exploited as dispersion media with sonification. The epoxy/MWCNT nano-composites with 1 or 2 wt.％ addition of functionalized carbon nanotubes show an improved tensile strength and wear resistance in comparison with pure epoxy, which shows the mechanical load transfer improves through chemical bonds between epoxy and functionalized MWCNTs. The tensile strength with 7 wt.％ functionalized MWCNTs increases by 28％ and the wear resistance is dramatically improved by 100 times.

The composites were fabricated 61Vo.% ${\beta}$-SiC and 39Vol.% $TiB_2$ powders with the liquid forming additives of 12wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_{3}$ as a sintering aid by pressure or pressureless annealing at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. The present study investigated the influence of annealed sintering on the microstructure and mechanical of SiC-$TiB_2$ electroconductmive ceramic composites. Reactions between SiC and transition metal $TiB_2$ were not observed in the microstructure and the phase analysis of the SiC-$TiB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites. Phase analysis of SiC-$TiB_2$ composites by XRD revealed mostly of ${\alpha}$-SiC(6H), $TiB_2$, and In Situ YAG($Al_{5}Y_{3}O_{12}$). The relative density, the flexural strength, the Young's modulus showed the highest value of 86.69[%], 136.43[MPa], 52.82[GPa] for pressure annealed SiC-$TiB_2$ ceramic composites.

While the reliability of bulk insulation has become important particularly in multilayer boards and embedded boards, electronics are to be used under various environments such as at high temperature and in high humidity. We observed internal space charge behavior for two types of epoxy composites under dc electric fields to investigate the influence of water at high temperature. In the case of glass/epoxy specimen, homocharge is observed at water-treated specimen, and spatial oscillations become clearer in the water-treated specimens. Electric field in the vicinity of the electrodes shows the injection of homocharge. In aramid/epoxy specimens, heterocharge is observed at water-treated specimens, i.e. negative charge accumulates near the anode, while positive charge accumulates near the cathode. Electric field is enhanced just before each electrode. In order to further examine the mechanism of space charge formation, we have developed a new system that allows in situ space charge observation during ion migration tests at high temperature and high humidity. Using this in situ system.

섬유강화 세라믹스 복합재료의 파괴예측 가능성을 알아보기 위해서 탄소섬유와 WC분말입자를 전기 전도상으로 이용하여 재료 스스로가 파괴예측 기능을 가지도록 한 SiC섬유강화 $Si_3N_4$세라믹스기 복합재료를 1773K에서 1시간 동안 hot-press하여 제작하였다. 4점 굽힘 시험하는 동안 전기저항 변화를 측정하여 파괴예측 기능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 전기정항은 재료의 파괴거동과 밀접한 관계를 가지면서 변화함을 알았다. 특히 분말형태의 전기전도상의 첨가는 본 복합재료의 파괴과정을 낮은 응력단계로부터 예측하는데 유용하였다. 결과적으로 이러한 재료설RP의 신개 (파괴예측기능)의도입은 $Si_3N_4$기 세라믹스를 구조재료로 이용함에 있어서 큰 문제가 되고 있는 신뢰성 확보에 새로운 기능을 준다고 생각되었다. 생각되었다.

A portland cement was reinforced by incorporating carbon fiber(CF), silica powder, and impregnating the pores with styrene monomers which were polymerized in situ. The effects of type, length, and volume loading of CF, mixing conditions, curing time and, curing conditions on mechanical behavior as well as freeze-thaw resistance and longer term stability of the carbon-fiber reinforced cement composites (CFRC) were investigated. The composite Paste exhibited a decrease in flow values linearly as the CF volume loadings increased. Tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths all generally increased as the CF loadings in the composite increased. Compressive strength decreased at CF loadings above approx. 3% in CFRC having no impregnated polymers due to the increase in porosity caused by the fibers. However, the polymer impregnation of CFRC improved all the strength values as compared with CFRC having no Polymer impregnation. Tensile stress-strain curves showed that polymer impregnation decreased the fracture energy of CFRC. Polymer impregnation clearly showed improvements in freeze-thaw resistance and drying shrinkage when compared with CFRC having no impregnated polymers.

In this study, poly(amic acid) was prepared via a polycondensation reaction of 3,3'-dihydroxybenzidine and pyromellitic dianhydride in an N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solution; reduced graphene oxide/polybenzoxazole (r-GO/PBO) composite films, which significantly increased the electrical conductivity, were successfully fabricated. GO was prepared from graphite using Brodie's method. The GO was used as nanofillers for the preparation of r-GO/PBO composites through an in situ polymerization. The addition of 50 wt% GO led to a significant increase in the electrical conductivity of the composite films by more than sixteen orders of magnitude compared with that of pure PBO films as a result of the electrical percolation networks in the r-GO during the thermal treatment at various temperatures within the films.

In this study, reduced graphene oxide/polyimide (r-GO/PI) composite films, which showed significant enhancement in their electrical conductivity, were successfully fabricated. GO was prepared from graphite using a modified Hummers method. The GO was used as a nanofiller material for the preparation of r-GO/PI composites by in-situ polymerization. An addition of 20 wt% of GO led to a significant decrease in the volume resistivity of composite films by less than nine orders of magnitude compared to that of pure PI films due to the electrical percolation networks of reduced GO created during imidization within the films. A tensile test indicated that the Young's modulus of the r-GO/PI composite film containing 20 wt% GO increased drastically from 2.3 GPa to 4.4 GPa, which was an improvement of approximately 84% compared to that of pure PI film. In addition, the corresponding tensile strength was found to have decreased only by 12%, from 113 MPa to 99 MPa.

Nano-size manganese ferrite reinforced conductive polypyrrole composites reveal a core-shell structure by in situ polymerization, in the presence of dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid as the surfactant and dopant, and iron chloride as the oxidant. The structure and magnetic properties of manganese ferrite nano-fillers were measured, by using X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer. The morphology, microstructure, and conductivity of the composite were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and four-wire technique. The microwave-absorbing properties of composites reinforcement dispersed in resin coating with the coating thickness of 1.2 nm were investigated, by using vector network analyzers, in the frequency range of 8~12 GHz. A reflection loss of -8 dB was observed at 10.5 GHz.

Conducting Polypyrrole-lead titanate (PPy/PbTiO3) composites have been prepared by in situ deposition technique by placing different wt.% of fine grade powder of PbTiO3 (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) during polymerization of pyrrole. The composites formed were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and these data indicate that PbTiO3 particles are dominating with an increase in crystallinity as well as thermal stability of the composites. The results on the low frequency dielectric studies which are obtained in the form of pressed pellet state are interpreted in terms of Maxwell Wagner polarization, which are responsible for the dielectric relaxation mechanism and frequency dependence of conductivity.
