The effect of Chitosan (CS), Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and hybrid (CS-CNT) fillers on the natural frequency of drilled composite plate is investigated by experimentally in this study. The numerical validation is also made with a program based on Finite Element Method (SolidWorks). Nine types filled and one neat composite plates are used in the study. The fillers ratios are 1% CS, 2% CS, 3% CS, 0.1% CNT, 0.2% CNT, 0.3% CNT, 1% CS+0.3% CNT, 2% CS+0.3% CNT, 3% CS+0.3% CNT. The specimens cut to certain sizes by water jet from the plates 400 mm × 400 mm in dimensions. Some of them are drilled in certain dimensions with drill. The natural frequency of each specimen is measured by the vibration test set up to determine the vibration characteristic. The vibration test set up includes an accelerometer, a current source power unit, a data acquisition card and a computer. A code is written in Matlab^® program for the signal processing. The study are investigated and discussed in four main points to understand the effect of the fillers on the natural frequency of the composite plate. These are the effect of fillers contents and amounts, orientation angles of fibers, holes numbers and holes sizes. As results, the natural frequency of the plate with 1% CS and 0.1% CNT hybrid filler is lower than those of the plates with other fillers ratios for 45° orientation angle. Besides, in the composite plate with 0° orientation angle, the natural frequency increases with increasing the filler ratio. Moreover, the natural frequency increases until a certain hole number and then it decreases. Furthermore, the natural frequency is not affected until a certain hole diameter but then it decreases.

To observe the orientation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in nematic liquid crystal (NLC), CNT-doped homogeneously-aligned NLC cells driven by in-plane field was fabricated. The CNTs were aligned with a LC director in the initial state, whereas the CNTs disturbed the LC director above critical ac field. We observed motional textures in the form of vertical stripes in the local area between electrodes, which were associated with a deformation of the LC director orientation. This suggests that CNTs start to vibrate three dimensionally with translational motion. The hysteresis studies of voltage-dependent transmittance under dc electric field show that the amount of residual dc is greatly reduced due to ion trapping by CNT.

Multiscale hybrid composites, which consist of polymeric resins, microscale fibers and nanoscale reinforcements, have drawn significant attention in the field of advanced, high-performance materials. Despite their advantages, multiscale hybrid composites show challenges associated with nanomaterial dispersion, viscosity, interfacial bonding and load transfer, and orientation control. In this paper, carbon nanotube(CNT)/carbon fiber(CF)/polycarbonate(PC) multiscale hybrid composite were fabricated by a solution process to overcome the difficulties associated with controlling the melt viscosity of thermoplastic resins. The dependence of CNT loading was studied by varying the method to add CNTs, i.e., impregnation of CF with CNT/PC/solvent solution and impregnation of CNT-coated CF with PC/solvent solution. In addition, hybrid composites were fabricated through surfactant-aided CNT dispersion followed by vacuum filtration. The morphologies of the surfaces of hybrid composites, as analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, revealed the quality of PC impregnation depends on the processing method. Dynamic mechanical analysis was performed to evaluate their mechanical performance. It was analyzed that if the position of the value of tan ${\delta}$ is closer to the ideal line, the adhesion between polymer and carbon fiber is stronger. The effect of mechanical interlocking has a great influence on the dynamic mechanical properties of the composites with CNT-coated CF, which indicates that coating CF with CNTs is a suitable method to fabricate CNT/CF/PC hybrid composites.

Recently, competition between LC modes for LC TVs becomes high. In this paper, status of each mode is briefly reviewed with commenting on its electro-optic characteristics and possible application fields. Further, to understand effects of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in nematic liquid crystal on electro-optic characteristic and orientation of the LC, CNT-doped NLC cells are made and evaluated. The hysterisis studies of voltage-dependent capacitance show that the amount of residual dc is greatly reduced due to ion trapping by CNTS.

탄소섬유강화 플라스틱(CFRP)의 계면 특성은 복합재료의 전체적인 기계적 특성을 제어하므로 매우 중요하다. 이에 따라, 탄소나노튜브(CNT)로 탄소섬유(CF) 표면을 개질하는 것이 계면을 강화하기 위해 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 표면 개질 방법은 자체적으로 한계가 있다. 예를 들어, CVD 성장에서 탄소섬유의 CNT를 성장시키기 위해 600~1000℃ 범위의 고온을 적용해야 하며, 이는 탄소섬유 자체에 손상을 줄 수 있으므로 물성이 저하될 수 있다. 한편, 본 연구에서는, 폴리아마이드(PA) 610/CF/CNT 복합재가 PA610의 계면중합을 통해 제조되었으며, 유기계와 수계 사이의 계면에서 PA610/CNT 중합이 일어난다. 탄소섬유는 CNT가 균일하게 분산된 PA610으로 코팅되었다. 복합재 내에서의 CNT 분산상태는 주사전자현미경으로 관찰되었으며, 열중량 분석을 통해 복합재의 열안정성을 분석하였다. 그리고 섬유 뽑힘 시험을 통해 섬유와 기지 간의 계면 결합력을 측정하였다.

In the present study, the various dynamic properties of MWCNT embedded fiber reinforced polymer uniform and tapered composite (MWCNT-FRP) plates are investigated. Various configurations of a tapered composite plate with ply-drop off and uniform composite plate have been considered for the development of the finite element formulation and experimental investigations. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been used to derive the kinetic and potential energy equations of the hybrid composite plates by including the effect of rotary inertia, shear deformation and non-uniformity in thickness of the plate. The governing equations of motion of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement are derived by considering a nine- node rectangular element with five degrees of freedom (DOF) at each node. The effectiveness of the developed finite element formulation has been demonstrated by comparing the natural frequencies and damping ratio of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement obtained experimentally. Various parametric studies are also performed to study the effect of CNT volume fraction and CNT aspect ratio of the composite plate on the natural frequencies of different configurations of CNT reinforced hybrid composite plates. Further the forced vibration analysis is performed to compare the dynamic response of the various configurations of MWCNT-GFRP composite plate with GFRP composite plate under harmonic excitations. It was observed that the fundamental natural frequency and damping ratio of the GFRP composite plate increase approximately 8% and 37% respectively with 0.5wt% reinforcement of MWCNT under CFCF boundary condition. The natural frequencies of MWCNT-GFRP hybrid composite plates tend to decrease with the increase of MWCNT volume fraction beyond 2% due to agglomeration of CNT's. It is also observed that the aspect ratio of the CNT has negligible effect on the improvement of dynamics properties due to randomly orientation of CNT's.

고무복합재료에 대해 변형에 의한 결정화(SIC)가 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 연신율(${\lambda}$) 및 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 카본블랙(CB)의 함유량을 함수로 하여 연구하였다. 시차 주사 열량(DSC) 분석을 통해 CB 및 CNT의 함유량에 따라 결정화 정도가 증가함을 확인 하였다. 또한 연신율이 증가함에 따라 복합재료의 유리전이온도(Tg)는 증가하였고, 결정화 잠열 값(LHc)은 ${\lambda}$=1.5에서 최대값을 보였다. CNT의 함유량 증가에 따라 기계적 특성과 LHc는 비례관계임을 확인하였다. 열 중량 분석(TGA)을 통해 기지의 소실율은 94.3%였고, 복합재료의 소실율은 보강재의 함유량 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 인장탄성율 비는 고무 내의 CNT 배향으로 인장강도 비보다 높게 나타났다.

We need to control the growth orientation of CNTs on a substrate for applications to various electric devices. Generally, the flow direction of feed gases and electric field between two electrode affect to growth orientations of CNTs. In this paper, we varied tilt degrees $(0^{\circ},\;20^{\circ},\;35^{\circ},\;50^{\circ},\;65^{\circ},\;90^{\circ})$ of substrates on a cathode and DC bias voltages (0, 500, 700 V) applied between two electrodes in order to change growth orientations of CNTs. We confirmed that tilt degrees of the substrate and variation of DC bias voltages affected to the shape and orientation of the grown CNTs on the substrate.

탄소나노튜브와 폴리에스터 계면 간 그래프팅이 나노복합재의 역학적 거동과 하중전달에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해 분자동역학 전산모사를 수행하고 그 결과를 Mori-Tanaka 모델 예측해와 비교하였다. 각 방향으로의 인장과 전단 전산모사를 통해 응력-변형률 선도를 도출한 후, 가교 유무에 따른 탄성거동 변화를 관찰하였다. 또한 가로등방성 강성행렬을 방향 평균하여 나노튜브가 랜덤분포하는 경우의 등방성 영률과 전단계수를 구하였다. 그 결과 가로방향 영률과 전단계수는 그래프팅 가공에 의해 향상되었으나, 길이방향 영률의 경우 나노튜브의 물성감소로 인해 오히려 물성이 저하되었다. 나노튜브의 랜덤분포를 고려한 예측 결과에서는 그래프팅 가공에 의해 물성이 약간 감소하였다.

본 논문에서는 DC 플라즈마와 금속유기물을 사용하여 CNF의 저온 합성에 성공하였다. 합성된 CNTs는 기판의 위치에 따라 매우 다른 특성 차이가 보였다. CNT는 일반적으로 직경 100 nm, 길이 $10{\mu}m$의 특성을 가진다. CNT의 형태적 특성들은 전계전자방출특성에 큰 영향을 준다는 사실을 본 연구를 통해 알 수 있었다. 따라서 CNF의 합성에 의한 CNF 구조적 특성은 전자소자응용면에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다.
