bismaleimide취약성을 개선 하기 위하여 toughening agent인 TM120을 첨가하여 carbon/$(\pm 45^\circ)_{2s}$를 제조하고 이들의 파손과 기계적 특성을 인당실험과 음향방출을 통해 자세히 논하였다. 첨가하는 TM120의 비율은 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25phr이었고, 1, 4-diazobicyclo-(2, 2, 2)-octane(DABCO) 0.2phr를 경화 촉진제로 사용하였다. 또한, 탄소 섬유는 Toray사의 T300를 사용하였고, 음향방출과 인장실험 결과로 TM120이 적당한 첨가량은 20phr이었으며, TM120은 cabon/$(\pm 45^\circ)_{2s}$의 파손특성과 기계적물성에 많은 영향을 미쳤다.

The processing and characterization of ceramic nanocomposites, which produce bulk nanostructures with attractive mechanical properties, have been emphasized and introduced at Prof. Mukherjee's Lab at UC Davis. The following subjects will be introduced in detail in Part II, III, and IV. In Part II, the paper will describe a three-phase alumina-based nanoceramic composite demonstrating superplasticity at a surprisingly lower temperature and higher strain rate. The next part will show that an alumina-carbon nanotube-niobium nanocomposite produced fracture toughness values that are three times higher than that of pure nanocrystalline alumina. It was possible to take advantage of both fiber-toughening and ductile-metal toughening in this investigation. In the fourth section, discussed will be a silicon-nitride/silicon-carbide nanocomposite, produced by pyrolysis of liquid polymer precursors, demonstrating one of the lowest creep rates reported so far in ceramics at the comparable temperature of $1400^{\circ}C$. This was first achieved by avoiding the oxynitride glass phase at the intergrain boundaries. One important factor in the processing of these nanocomposites was the use of the electrical field assisted sintering method. This allowed the sintering to be completed at significantly lower temperatures and during much shorter times. These improvements in mechanical properties will be discussed in the context of the results from the microstructural investigations.

Y-TZP(Yttria-stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal) ceramics are of great interest as engineering and structural materials due to their excellent mechanical properties arising from transformation toughening, it is also reported that the 3Y-TZP($3 mol\%$ Yttria-stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal) has the best mechanical properties in Y-TZP ceramics. But to use widely for engineering and structural materials, it remains an important challenge to be able to improve its fracture toughness. In order to produce the 3Y- TZP ceramics showing much better mechanical properties, milling method adding monoclinic zirconia to 3Y-TZP was adopted and the resultant mechanical properties containing apparent density and fracture toughness were measured by using proper techniques. Experimental results showed that the 3Y-TZP specimen containing $33 wt\%$ of monoclinic zirconia, which was sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$, has the highest fracture toughness value of $11.38 MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ which is three times higher than that of normal 3Y-TZP ceramics.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (TZP) sintered bodies, which made by pressureless and spark plasma sintering techniques, were investigated using XRD, SEM, and TEM techniques. In the spark plasma sintered samples, the TZP grains were equiaxed type including many sub-grain boundaries regardless of sintering conditions. The biaxial strength of TZP having an average of 80 nm grains in diameter was high in value with 1025 MPa, but fracture toughness showed a low value due to the absence of a fracture toughening mechanism such as transformation toughening. In the Pressureless Sintered (PLSed) samples, the grain size of TZP was strongly dependent on the sintering temperature; i.e., it gradually increased as the sintering temperature increased. The value of fracture toughness increased as the grain size increased by the stress-induced phase transformation and Borne crack deflection.

The self-toughened Si3N4 ceramics where needle-like coarse ${\beta}$-Si3N4 grains were dispersed within fine-grain-ed matrix were prepared via hot-prssing at 1730$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h using 5 vol% ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers as a seed. In this study the microstructures and mechanical properties of self-toughened Si3N4 ceramics were investigated. The flexural strength of self-toughened Si3N4 ceramics was increased from 600-800 MPa of the Si3N4 monolith to 830-1025 MPa. The KIC was also increased from 4.0-5.0MPa$.$m1/2 of the Si3N4 monolith to 5.8-6.5MPa$.$m1/2$.$The needle-like coarse Si3N4 grains in self-toughened ceramics were considered to induce various toughening mechanisms including the crack deflection pull-out and bridging and to contribute to KIC improvement. In ad-dition to toughening mechanisms the KIC improvement was considered to be partially indebted also to the orien-tation of large ${\beta}$-Si3N4 grains and to the promoting effect of ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers on the ${\alpha}$ to ${\beta}$ transtion.

Fracture toughness of particulate composites of Al2O3/SiC, Al2O3/ZrO2 and Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC was analysed theoretically. According to the suggested particle bridging model for obtaining the R-curve height, the crack extension resistance for the long crack was linearly proportional to the residual calmping stress at the interface between the second phase and the matrix. It was also a function of the particle size and the content. It was confirmed that the rising R-curve behavior of Al2O3 containing 30 vol% SiC particles of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was owing to the strong crack bridging by SiC particles. For Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC composites, the tensional stress from the 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ SiC particles was large enough to activate the spontaneous transformation of the ZrO2. The crack extension resistance due to the particle bridging mechanism did not seem to be affected much by the coupled toughening, but its resultant toughness increase could be significantly smaller due to the dependency on the matrix toughness.

광학 이성질체인 PLLA와 PDLA를 전 조성에서 블렌드하여 PLA stereocomplex(SC)를 제조하였고 DSC를 통해 PLLA matrix안의 SC결정 형성 정도를 파악하였다. 결과적으로 PLA SC blend의 PDLA 함량이 SC 결정 생성 정도에 영향을 주며 PLLA/PDLA=50/50의 조성일 때 가장 많은 SC 결정이 생성되었다. 더 나아가 고유의 낮은 충격강도를 보강하기 위하여 PLLA/PDLA=92/8, 85/15 조성에서 충격보강제(Impact modifiers)를 도입하였다. 제조된 PLA SC/Impact modifiers의 열적기계적 성질은 DSC, HDT, Izod Impact tester, UTM을 통해 측정하였다. DSC 측정 결과 PLA SC 결정은 Strong120(Impact modifier)가 10-20wt% 도입되면 감소하는 경향을 보이나 반면에 Elvaloy가 도입될 때에는 아무런 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. HDT의 값은 PDLA의 도입에 따라 급격하게 $100^{\circ}C$이상으로 증가하였다. 하지만 Strong120과 Elvaloy가 도입됨에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 결국 Toughening된 PLA SC에서 10wt%의 Impact modifier를 blend하여 가장 최적의 충격강도와 굴곡탄성율을 갖는 물성을 발견할 수 있었다.

R-curves, fracture resistance (KR) as a function of crack extension (Δa), of a gas-pressure sintered monolithic Si3N4 were determined by controlled flaw/strength technique. Rising R-curve behavior was observed, confirming the operation of microstructural toughening process during crack growth. The R-curve parameters, k and m in the equation, KR=k(Δa)m, were determined to 30.301 and 0.1146, respectively. Microstructural observation of growing crack revealed that the bridging in the crack wake by unbroken ligament of large elongated ${\beta}$-grains was the mechanism primarily for the rising R-curve behavior.

The notched Charpy and Izod impact tests are the most prevalent techniques used to characterize the effects of high impulse loads on ploymeric materials. An analysis method for rubber toughened PVC is suggested to evaluate critical strain energy release rates(Gc) from the Charpy impact energy measurements. An Instrumented Charpy Impact tester was used to extract ancillary information concerning fracture properties in addition to total fracture properties and maximum critical loads. The stress intensity factor Kd was computed for varying amounts of rubber contents from the obtained maximum critical loads and also toughening effects were investigated as well.
