In this study, metal copper clad laminate can be prepared using epoxy composite filled with thermally conductive fillers. In order to improve the thermal conductivity of epoxy composites, it is important factor to form conductive networks through appropriate packing of conductive fillers in epoxy composite matrix and to decrease the amount of thermally resistant junctions involving a epoxy composite matrix layer between adjacent filler units. This is because epoxy has a thermal conductivity of only 0.2-0.3W, so in order to maintain high thermal conductivity, thermally conductive fillers are connected to each other, so that the gap between particles can be reduced to reduce thermal resistance. The purpose of this study is to find way to achieve highly thermally conductive in the epoxy composite matrix filled with Al₂O₃ and Boron Nitride(BN) filler by filler loading and uniform dispersion. As a results, the use of Al₂O₃/BN hybrid filler in epoxy matrix was found to be effective in increasing thermal conductivity of epoxy composite matrix due to the enhanced connectivity offered by more continuous thermally conductive pathways and uniform dispersion without interfacial voids in epoxy composite matrix. In addition, surface treatmented s-BN improves the filler dispersion and adhesion between the filler and the epoxy matrix, which can significantly decrease the interfacial thermal resistance and increase the thermal conductivity of epoxy composite matrix.

Chemical homogeneity and dispersoid formation in mechanically alloyed Al-Ti composite metal powders were investigated in order to fabricate the high temperature Al-Ti alloys. The homogeneity of composite particles was able to be obtained by MA milling time more than 10 hours with the milling velocity of 400 rpm. The amounts of titanium, carbon and oxygen elements in MA Al-Ti alloys by chemical analysis were 8.2, 1.135 and 0.233 wt.%, respectively. The amount of carbon analyzed corresponds to 90 pet. of carbon contained the PCA of stearic acid. TEM analysis has revealed the presence of the rounded $Al_3Ti$ dispersoids with the size of 250nm and the $Al_4C_3$ dispersoids of cylindrical shape with a size of 50nm in thickness and 150nm in length. Also, the some rounded $Al_2O_3$ dispersoids with a size of about 20nm were found in grain boundaries as well as in matrix.

The Fiber/Metal Laminates (FMLs) have been developed as a new composite material for aerospace application to reduce weight and improve damage tolerance. In this study, firstly FMLs were manufactured and the tensile test was performed to investigate the mechanical properties of FMLs. Furthermore, impact behavior of the low velocity on FMLs which consisted of different types of aluminum or fiber/epoxy layers was tested by the drop weight impact tester based on the different impact energy conditions. The load-time and energy-time curves were employed to evaluate the impact performance of different specimens. Moreover, finite element analysis (FEA) was also performed to simulate the tensile test and impact behavior of FMLs under the same conditions with the tests and good agreements have been obtained between the FEA predictions and experimental results.

Ti-silicide was formed by using metal-Ti target and composite target on the silicon substrate that $BF_2$ were introduced into. Implant energies of $BF_2$ were 50keV and 90keV. The behavior of boron was investigated by SIMS. The redistribution of boron occurred during the formation of Ti-silicide by metal-Ti target and the sample implanted at the energy of 50keV showed severe out-diffusion. In the case that Ti-silicide was formed by composite target, there was little redistribution of boron.

This paper proposes a shape optimization of the metal boss for a composite motor case using finite element analysis. For the structural safety and the weight reduction of the composite motor case, under the internal pressure, the fiber stress in the dome area and the tightening bolt stress are constrained and the boss weight is set to objective function, respectively. The response surface models are constructed for the performance characteristics by using response surface method. The significance of the design variables about the performance characteristics is evaluated through the ANOVA(analysis of variance) and the goodness of fit test for the constructed model is performed through the regression analysis. The SQP(sequential quadratic programming) algorithm is used for the optimization and the proposed method is verified by performing structural analysis for the optimum shape.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) is one of the representative porous materials composed of metal ions and organic linkers. In spite of many advantages of the MOFs such as high specific surface area and ease of structure control, drawbacks have become obstacles to the practical use of them with poor electrical conductivity and chemical stability. The ZIF-8, which is consisted of zinc and imidazole linker, is one of the solutions to improve the chemical stability issue. In addition, composites using the ZIF-8 and carbonbased materials are widely used to enhance the electrical conductivity. In this regard, supercapacitor is very attractive field for using the composites, because most of carbon-based materials are porous and conductive. Also, for sensor applications, the ZIF-8 composite is suitable material to meet the requirement in terms of the selectivity and sensitivity. This review summarizes recent progress of the composite materials with the ZIF-8 and the carbon-based materials for the supercapacitors and the chemical sensors. In particular, the composites are classified into ZIF-8-graphene, ZIF-8-carbon nanotube and ZIF-8-other carbon-based material.

In recent years, solid-state Li metal batteries (SSLBs) have attracted significant attention as the next-generation batteries with high energy and power densities. However, uncontrolled dendrite growth and the resulting pulverization of Li during repeated plating/stripping processes must be addressed for practical applications. Herein, we report a plastic-crystal-based polymer/ceramic composite solid electrolyte (PCCE) to resolve these issues. To fabricate the one-side ceramic-incorporated PCCE (CI-PCCE) film, a mixed precursor solution comprising plastic-crystal-based polymer (succinonitrile, SN) with garnet-structured ceramic (Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂, LLZO) particles was infused into a thin cellulose membrane, which was used as a mechanical framework, and subsequently solidified by using UV-irradiation. The CI-PCCE exhibited good flexibility and a high room-temperature ionic conductivity of over 10^-3 S cm^-1. The Li symmetric cell assembled with CI-PCCE provided enhanced durability against Li dendrite penetration through the solid electrolyte (SE) layer than those with LLZO-free PCCEs and exhibited long-term cycling stability (over 200 h) for Li plating/stripping. The enhanced Li⁺ transference number and lower interfacial resistance of CI-PCCE indicate that the ceramic-polymer composite layer in contact with the Li anode enabled the uniform distribution of Li⁺ flux at the interface between the Li metal and CI-PCCE, thereby promoting uniform Li plating/stripping. Consequently, the Li//LiFePO₄ (LFP) full cell constructed with CI-PCCE demonstrated superior rate capability (~120 mAh g^-1 at 2 C) and stable cycle performance (80% after 100 cycles) than those with ceramic-free PCCE.

In this paper, a co-planar waveguide(CPW) fed zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna with frequency reconfigurable radiating structures is fabricated and measured. The unit cell of proposed antenna consists of a series metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor and two shunt line inductors which are shorted through the via. The proposed antenna is designed based on a composite right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line with two unit cells and it has open ended structure in order to radiate electromagnetic energy mainly on the shunt arm. In order to reduce the antenna size and to exhibit a frequency reconfigurable ability using diode switches four straight strips bent by 90 degrees are used as shunt inductors. The total size of fabricated antenna is $0.22{\lambda}_0{\times}0.16{\lambda}_0$ at zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) frequency. The measured maximum gain and bandwidth (VSWR ${\leq}2$) are 3.1 dBi and 56MHz at ZOR frequency of 2.97 GHz, respectively. This type of antenna can be applied to a frequency reconfigurable antenna system with triple bands.

We have fabricated the supercapacitor composed of porous activated carbon, metal-organic framework (MOF) with polymer based solid state electrolyte as a "ion gel" and characterized its electrochemical behaviour as a function of the MOF contents. The electrochemical properties of the supercapacitor were analyzed via cyclic voltammetry(CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and galvanostatic charge/discharge test. As a results, the supercapacitor based on porous activated carbon/MOF composite showed the highest capacitance value at 0.5 wt% of MOF contents and decreased capacitance with increase MOF contents over the 0.5 wt%. Consequently, the porous activated carbon/MOF composite based supercapacitor is applicable to various aspect for energy storage device.
