본 논문에서는 용액 기반의 탄소나노튜브(CNT: Carbon Nano-tube)를 전자기기의 전도성 소재로 사용하기 위하여 쉽고 빠르게 형성하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 스핀 코팅 방법 및 아르곤 상압플라즈마 공정을 적용하여 글라스 위에 CNT 박막 코팅을 진행하였다. 코팅 횟수에 따른 전기적, 물리적 특성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 1회부터 5회까지 동일한 방법으로 형성된 샘플을 제작하였고, 각 샘플에 대해 표면 형상, 반사도, 투과도, 흡수율 및 표면 저항을 측정하였다. 현미경을 이용하여 관찰했을 때 횟수가 늘어날 때 글라스 상에 검은 형상이 더 잘 관찰되며, 특히 스핀코팅에 의해 가운데 영역이 더 검게 관찰되는 것을 알 수 있다. 코팅 수가 증가함에 따라 측정 파장의 전 영역에서 투과도는 감소, 반사도 및 흡수율은 증가하였다. 또한, 파장이 감소함에 따라 투과율은 감소, 반사도 및 흡수율은 증가한다. 전기적인 특성의 경우, 2번 코팅했을 때 전도도가 상당히 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었으며, 추가 코팅에 의해서 전도도 감소가 관찰되지만, 큰 변화를 보이지는 않았다. 결론적으로 CNT를 투명전극으로 대체하기 위해서는 반사도 및 전기전도도를 함께 고려하여 코팅 횟수를 고려해야 하며, 2회가 최적임을 알 수 있다.

겨울철 제설염의 사용은 콘크리트의 미세조직을 손상시기게 되고 이는 내구성을 감소시켜 콘크리트의 수명 단축으로 이어진다. 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위해 상변화물질(Phase Change Material, PCM)의 잠열을 콘크리트에 적용함으로써 손상을 완화하고 제설염의 수요를 감소시킬 수 있는 융설 PCM 함침 경량골재(Phase Change Material Impregnated Light Weight Aggregate, PCM-LWA) 콘크리트를 개발하고자 한다. 콘크리트를 제작할 때, PCM을 함침하고 캡슐화한 팽창점토(Expanded Clay)는 일반골재의 50 %를 대체하여 사용되었으며, 열적 성능을 향상시키기 위해 사용된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(Multi-walled Carbon Nano Tube, MWCNT)는 바인더 중량 대비 0.10 %, 0.15 % 및 0.20 %의 비율로 첨가되었다. PCM-LWA를 적용한 시편들의 압축강도 시험 결과 약 54 %의 강도 감소를 보였지만 MWCNT의 첨가를 통하여 PCM-LWA 콘크리트의 열적 성능을 크게 향상시켰다. 열 사이클링 시험에서 모든 시편은 15℃ ~ -5℃의 온도에서 시험하였다. 주변 온도가 0℃ 미만으로 내려갈 때, 다른 시편들의 내부 온도는 0℃ 미만으로 내려가거나 조금 웃도는 경향을 보였지만, CNT를 0.10 % 첨가한 시편의 내부 온도는 2℃로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 0.15CNT와 0.20CNT의 경우 CNT의 함유로 인하여 과냉각이 발생하였고 열효율이 떨어지게 되어 시편 내부의 온도가 0℃ 이하로 떨어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 융설 시험에서 열 사이클링 시험의 결과와 유사하게 50PCM-LWA와 0.10CNT는 얼음을 녹이는 데에 가장 뛰어난 성능을 보였지만 시간이 흐름에 따라 열전도율이 높은 0.10CNT 시편이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다.
