  • The carbonization behaviors of CFRP fabricated with 2D-woven fabric and matrix phenolic resin have been studied. The changes in dimension were observed in the temperature range of 365-37$0^{\circ}C$ in the thickness direction, 118-12$0^{\circ}C$ in the normal direction each other by TMA analysis. Observation with the optical microscope shows that the formed cracks and pores during the fabrication of CFRP were propagated with the increase of pyrolysis temperaure. New cracks and pores were formed in the pyrolysis temperature range of 400-50$0^{\circ}C$ In line with the formation and propagation of cracks, porosity was increased and density was decreased rapidly in the pyrolysis temperature range of from 40$0^{\circ}C$ to 70$0^{\circ}C$. Therefore heating rate in the carbonization process need to be controlled carefully by intervals.

  • In order to assess the potential of the hydroxy-containing polyamic acid (PHAA) synthesized from 3,3'-dihydroxy benzidine and pyromellitic dianhydride for a fire-safe polymer, the cyclization pathway of PHAA has been investigated using a model compound prepared from 2-aminophenol and phthalic anhydride. The reaction was monitored. by $^1{H-nuclear}$ magnetic resonance. N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) phthalamic acid is converted to N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) phthalimide at ca. 175$^{\circ}C$, showing endothermic reaction. The imide structure is rearranged to the benzoxazole structure over ca. $400^{\circ}C$. These results are similar with that of PHAA. According to pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) data, water and carbon dioxide are released during the cyclization and rearrangement reaction. One DMAc molecule is complexed with one carboxyl acid group in PHAA, which accelerates the imidization process to release more easily the flame retardant, water.

  • Carbon nanofiber electrode has been fabricated for energy storage systems by the electrospinning of SU-8 precursor and subsequent pyrolysis. Various parameters including the applied voltage, the distance between syringe tip and target collector and the flow rate of the polymer affect the diameter of SU-8 electrospun nanofibers. Shrinkage during pyrolysis decreases the fiber diameter. As the pyrolysis temperature increases, the resistivity decreases dramatically. Low resistivity is one of the important characteristics of the electrodes of an energy storage device. Given the advantages of carbon nanofibers having high external surface area, electrical conductivity, and lithium intercalation ability, SU-8 derived carbon nanofibers were applied to the anode of a full lithium ion cell. In this paper, we studied the physical properties of carbon fiber electrode by scanning transmission microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and four-point probe. The electrochemical characteristics of the electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammogram and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy plots.

  • The process of thermal-degradation of thin-film polymeris studied in this work for various laser sources from CW to fs. Samples composed of a thin polymer layer sandwiched between two glass plates are irradiated by the lasers and the threshold irradiance of polymer carbonization is experimentally measured. In the numerical analysis, the transient temperature distribution is calculated and the number density of carbonization in the polymer layer is also estimated. It is shown that pulsed lasers can result in more uniform distribution of temperature and carbonization than the CW laser.
