본 연구에서는 리튬이온배터리용 고용량 음극활물질인 실리콘의 부피팽창을 완화하고 사이클 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 SiOx@C 복합소재를 제조하였다. Stӧber 법을 통해 입자 크기가 각각 100, 200, 500 nm인 SiO₂를 합성하였고, 마그네슘 열환원을 통해 SiOx (0≤x≤2)를 제조하였다. 그 후 SiOx에 PVC를 탄화시켜 SiOx와 C의 비율에 따라 SiOx@C 음극활물질을 합성하였다. 제조된 SiOx와 SiOx@C 음극활물질의 물리적 특성은 XRD, SEM, TGA, 라만분광법, XPS, BET를 사용해 분석하였다. 그리고 사이클 테스트, 율속특성, CV, EIS 테스트를 통해 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 입자 크기가 가장 작은 100 nm SiOx에 SiOx:C=70:30으로 탄소를 코팅하여 제조된 SiOx@C-7030은 100 사이클에서 1055 mAh/g의 방전용량과 81.9%의 용량을 유지하여 가장 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 보여주었다. 이는 SiOx 음극활물질 입자의 크기를 줄이고, 탄소를 코팅하여 사이클 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

실리콘 분말에 polyaniline(PAn)을 중합하고 탄화하여 Si-C재료를 개발하고 물리적 특성 및 전기화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 평균입도는 PAn의 중합으로 증가하였으며 탄화로 일부 감소하였다. XRD분석으로 결정질의 실리콘과 비결정성의 탄소 재료가 공존함을 확인 하였다. Si-PAn 전구체로 부터 개발한 Si-C 재료를 이용한 Si-C|Li cell은 Si|Li cell에 비하여 우수한 특성을 나타내었으며, 탄소 전구체인 PAn의 HCl 탈도핑에 의해 전기화학적 특성을 개선할 수 있었다. 전해액 중 FEC 첨가한 경우 초기 방전 용량이 증가하였다. GISOC시험으로 구한 가역 비용량 범위는 Si-C(Si:PAn=50:50wt. ratio)|Li 전지의 경우 약 414mAh/g를 나타내었으며, 가역 범위에 대한 초기 충방전의 intercalation 효율(IIE)는 75.7%였으며, 표면 비가역 비용량은 35.4mAh/g을 나타내었다.

Reaction bonded silicon carbide(RBSC) composite for heat-exchanger was fabricated by molten Si infiltration method. The raw materials with variable particle sizes were used in this experience. The finer the particle size in sintered silicon carbide was the more increasing 3-point bending strength and fracture toughness. As the adaptable particle sizes had been occupied interstice arising from packing sample, the mechanical properties were increased. In the PCS1-1 sample, the 3-point bending strength and fracture toughness were 323MPa and $4.9\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.

Heat insulation plates of fumed silica were prepared by mixing fumed silica, SiC powder and chopped glass fiber by a high speed mixer followed by pressing of the mixture powder in a stainless steel mold of $100{\times}100mm$. Composition of the plates, particle size of SiC, and type of inorganic binder were varied for observation of their contribution to heat insulation of the plate. The plate was installed on the upper portion of an electric furnace the inside temperature of which was maintained at $400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$, for investigation of heat transfer through the plate from inside of the electric furnace to outside atmosphere. Surface temperatures were measured in real time using a thermographic camera. The particle size of SiC was varied in the range of $1.3{\sim}17.5{\mu}m$ and the insulation was found to be most excellent when SiC of $2.2{\mu}m$ was incorporated. When the size of SiC was smaller or larger than $2.2{\mu}m$, the heat insulation effect was decreased. Inorganic binders of alkali silicate and phosphate were tested and the phosphate was found to maintain the heat insulation property while increasing mechanical properties.

The thermodynamical estimation of the interfacial reaction and the impact properties of $Nb/MoSi_2$ laminate composites containing SiC, $NbSi_2$ or $ZrO_2$ particles are investigated. Laminate composites, which comprise alternating layers of $MoSi_2$ with the particle and Nb foil, were fabricated by the hot press process. It is clearly found out that the interfacial reaction of $Nb/MoSi_2$ can be controlled by the addition of $ZrO_2$ particle to the $MoSi_2$ phase. The addition of $ZrO_2$ particle increases both the impact value and the sintered density of Nb/McSij, The suppression of the interfacial reaction is caused by the formation of $ZrSiO_2$ in $MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ matrix mixture.

The effect of extrusion temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties was studied in gas atomized TEX>$Al_{81}Si_{19}$ alloy powders and their extruded bars using SEM, tensile testing and wear testing. The Si particle size of He-gas atomized powder was about 200-800 nm. Each microstructure of the extruded bars with extrusion temperature (400, 450 and 50$0^{\circ}C$) showed a homogeneous distribution of primary Si and eutectic Si particles embedded in the Al matrix and the particle size varied from 0.1 to 5.5 ${\mu}m$. With increasing extrusion temperature from 40$0^{\circ}C$ to 50$0^{\circ}C$, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) decreased from 282 to 236 ㎫ at 300 K and the specific wear increased at all sliding speeds due to the coarse microstructure. The fracture behavior of failure in tension testing and wear testing was also studied. The UTS of extrudate at 40$0^{\circ}C$ higher than that of 50$0^{\circ}C$ because more fine Si particles in Al matrix of extrudate at 40$0^{\circ}C$ prevented crack to propagate.

Damage behaviors induced in silicon carbide by an impact of particle having different material and size were investigated. Especially, the influence of the impact velocity of particle on the cone crack shape developed was mainly discussed. The damage induced by spherical impact was different depending on the material and size of particles. Ring cracks on the surface of specimen were multiplied by increasing the impact velocity of particle. The steel particle impact produced larger ring cracks than that of SiC particle. In the case of high velocity impact of SiC particle, radial cracks were produced due to the inelastic deformation at the impact site. In the case of the larger particle impact, the damage morphology developed was similar to the case of smaller particle one, but a percussion cone was farmed from the back surface of specimen when the impact velocity exceeded a critical value. The zenithal angle of cone cracks developed into SiC material decreased monotonically with increasing of the particle impact velocity. The size and material of particle influenced more or less on the extent of cone crack shape. An empirical equation, $\theta$= $\theta$$\sub$st/, v$\sub$p/(90-$\theta$$\sub$st/)/500 R$\^$0.3/($\rho$$_1$/$\rho$$_2$)$\^$$\frac{1}{2}$/, was obtained as a function of impact velocity of the particle, based on the quasi-static zenithal angle of cone crack. It is expected that the empirical equation will be helpful to the computational simulation of residual strength in ceramic components damaged by the particle impact.

Silicon carbide(SiC) layer is particularly important tri-isotropic (TRISO) coating layers because it acts as a miniature pressure vessel and a diffusion barrier to gaseous and metallic fission products in the TRISO coated particle. The high temperature deposition of SiC layer normally performed at $1500-1650^{\circ}C$ has a negative effect on the property of IPyC layer by increasing its anisotropy. To investigate the feasibility of lower temperature SiC deposition, the influence of deposition temperature on the property of SiC layer are examined in this study. While the SiC layer coated at $1500^{\circ}C$ obtains nearly stoichiometric composition, the composition of the SiC layer coated at $1300-1400^{\circ}C$ shows discrepancy from stoichiometric ratio(1:1). $3-7{\mu}m$ grain size of SiC layer coated at $1500^{\circ}C$ is decreased to sub-micrometer (< $1{\mu}m$) $-2{\mu}m$ grain size when coated at $1400^{\circ}C$, and further decreased to nano grain size when coated at $1300-1350^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the high density of SiC layer (${\geq}3.19g/cm^3$) which is easily obtained at $1500^{\circ}C$ coating is difficult to achieve at lower temperature owing to nano size pores. the density is remarkably decreased with decreasing SiC deposition temperature.

This study highlights a novel method and mechanism for the rapid and effective milling of carbon fibers (CFs) in silicon carbide (SiC) powder, and also the dispersion of CFs in SiC powder. The composite powders were prepared by chopping and exfoliation of CFs, and ball milling of CFs and SiC powder in isopropyl alcohol. A wide range of CFs loading, from 10 to 50 vol%, was studied. The milling of CFs and SiC powder was checked by measuring the average particle size of the composite powders. The dispersivity of CFs in SiC powder was checked through scanning electron microscope. The results show that the usage of exfoliated CF tows resulted in a rapid and effective milling of CFs and SiC powder. The results further show an excellent dispersion of CFs in SiC powder for all CFs loading without any dispersing agent.

일반적으로 복합재의 강도에 대한 크기 효과는 입자강화 알루미늄 복합재 제조시, 입자와 기지재를 압밀한 후 냉각할 때 입자와 기지재 사이의 열팽창계수 차에 의하여 기지재에 펀칭되는 기하적 필수 전위와, 변형 중 입자와 기지재사이의 탄소성 강성도 차로 인해 발생하는 변형률 구배 소성으로 인한 기하적 필수 전위가 주로 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 두 종류의 기하적 필수 전위를 전위 소성 이론에 입각하여 강도로 환산한 후 계층적으로 입자 주위 유한요소 영역에 할당하여 동일한 체적비에서 입자의 크기에 따라 변화하는 복합재의 파손 거동을 효과적으로 예측하였다. 이 방법을 적용함으로써 구형입자의 경우 간단한 축대칭 유한요소 모델링과 실험데이터를 연계하여 입자강화 복합재의 입자 크기 의존 강도 및 파손 효과를 수월하게 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 서로 다른 입자의 체적비 및 크기에 대하여SiC강화 알루미늄 2124-T4 복합재의 강도와 파손 거동이 분명한 차이가 있음을 보인다.
