This study demonstrated the in-situ functionalization with polymers of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) via emulsion polymerization. Polystyrene-functionalized MWNTs were prepared in an aqueous solution containing styrene monomer, non-ionic surfactant and a cationic coupling agent ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trime-thylammonium chloride (MATMAC)). This process produced an interesting morphology in which the MWNTs, consisting of bead-string shapes or MWNTs embedded in the beads, when polymer beads were sufficiently large, produced nanohybrid material. This morphology was attributed to the interaction between the cationic coupling agent and the nanotube surface which induced polymerization within the hemimicellar or hemicylindrical structures of surfactant micelles on the surface of the nanotubes. In a solution containing MATMAC alone without surfactant, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were not well-dispersed, and in a solution containing only surfactant without MATMAC, polymeric beads were synthesized in isolation from CNTs and continued to exist separately. The incorporation of MATMAC and surfactant together enabled large amounts of CNTs (> 0.05 wt%) to be well-dispersed in water and very effectively encapsulated by polymer chains. This method could be applied to other well-dispersed CNT solutions containing amphiphilic molecules, regardless of the type (i.e., anionic, cationic or nonionic). In this way, the solubility and dispersion of nanotubes could be increased in a solvent or polymer matrix. By enhancing the interfacial adhesion, this method might also contribute to the improved dispersion of nanotubes in a polymer matrix and thus the creation of superior polymer nanocomposites.

본 연구에서는 전기방사법(electrospinning method)을 이용하여 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(multi-walled carbon nanotubes, MWCNTs)가 첨가된 polyacrylonitrile (PAN)과 poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 고분자 복합 나노섬유를 합성하였다. 합성 과정에서 고분자 물질의 농도와 인가전압의 변화가 나노섬유의 합성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 최적화된 고분자 나노섬유 합성 조건을 확립하였다. 또한, MWCNTs의 첨가량의 변화에 따른 복합 나노섬유의 구조적 특징을 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy)과 투과전자현미경(transmission electron microscopy)을 통해 분석하였으며, 기계적 강도를 조사하였다. 5 wt%의 MWCNTs가 첨가된 경우, 인장강도(tensile strength)와 영률(Young's modulus)이 PAN 복합 나노섬유는 500%, 27% 향상되었으며, PMMA 복합 나노섬유는 250%, 1,017% 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The incorporation of carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix makes it possible to obtain nanocomposite materials with exceptional properties. It's in this scientific background that this work was based. There are several theories that deal with the behavior of plates, in this research based on the Mindlin-Reissner theory that takes into account the transversal shear effect, for analysis of the critical buckling load of a reinforced polymer plate with parabolic distribution of carbon nanotubes. The equations of the model are derived and the critical loads of linear and parabolic distribution of carbon nanotubes are obtained. With different disposition of nanotubes of carbon in the polymer matrix, the effects of different parameters such as the volume fractions, the plate geometric ratios and the number of modes on the critical load buckling are analysed and discussed. The results show that the critical buckling load of parabolic distribution is larger than the linear distribution. This variation is attributed to the concentration of reinforcement (CNTs) at the top and bottom faces for the X-CNT type which make the plate more rigid against buckling.

차세대 반도체 산업의 발전을 위하여 반도체 소자의 구조는 DRAM, FRAM, MRAM 등 여러 분야에서 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 이런 차세대 반도체 소자에서 금속 배선으로는 Cu가 사용되며, Cu 금속 배선을 위한 확산방지막에 대한 연구는 반드시 필요하다[1-3]. Cu 금속 배선을 위한 확산방지막에 대한 현재까지의 연구에서는 Tungsten(W)을 기반으로 Nitride(N)를 불순물로 첨가한 확산방지막에 대하여 연구되었다[4-7]. 이러한 W-N를 기반으로 본 연구에서는 물리적 기상 증착법(PVD) 방법인 RF Magnetron Sputter 방법으로 W-N 이외에 Carbon(C) 과 Boron(B)을 첨가하여 확산방지막의 특성을 확인하였고, 특히 Boron Target의 power를 변화하여 W-B-C-N 확산방지막의 Boron에 의한 특성과 열적 안정성을 연구하였다[8-10]. 실험은 다양한 Boron의 조성을 가지는 확산방지막을 증착하여 $\beta$-ray와 4-point probe를 사용하여 확산방지막의 특성을 확인하였고, 고온($700^{\circ}C{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$) 열처리한 후 X-ray Diffraction 분석을 하여 열적 안정성을 확인하였다.

The present study investigated the synergistic effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon black (CB) inclusions on the piezoresistive sensing behaviors of cementitious composites. Four different CNT and CB combinations were considered to form different conductive networks in the binder material composed of Portland cement and fly ash. The cement was substituted with fly ash at levels of 0 or 50% by the mass of binder. The specimens were cured up to 100 days to observe the variations of the electrical characteristics with hydration progress, and the piezoresistive sensing behaviors of the specimens were measured under cyclic loading tests. The fabricated specimens were additionally evaluated with flowability, resistivity and cyclic loading tests, and morphological analysis. The scanning electron microscopy and energy disperse X-ray spectroscopy test results indicated that CNT and CB inclusion induced synergistic formations of electrically conductive networks, which led to an improvement of piezoresistive sensing behaviors. Moreover, the incorporation of fly ash having Fe³⁺ components decreased the electrical resistivity, improving both the linearity of fractional changes in the electrical resistivity and reproducibility expressed as R² under cyclic loading conditions.

The goal of this study is to fill this apparent gap in the area about vibration analysis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) curved panels by providing 3-D vibration analysis results for functionally graded multiwalled carbon nanotubes (FG-MWCNTs) sandwich structure with power-law distribution of nanotube. The effective material properties of the FG-MWCNT structures are estimated using a modified Halpin-Tsai equation. Modified Halpin-Tsai equation was used to evaluate the Young's modulus of MWCNT/epoxy composite samples by the incorporation of an orientation as well as an exponential shape factor in the equation. The exponential shape factor modifies the Halpin-Tsai equation from expressing a straight line to a nonlinear one in the MWCNTs wt% range considered. Also, the mass density and Poisson's ratio of the MWCNT/phenolic composite are considered based on the rule of mixtures. Parametric studies are carried out to highlight the influence of MWCNT volume fraction in the thickness, different types of CNT distribution, boundary conditions and geometrical parameters on vibrational behavior of FG-MWCNT thick curved panels. Because of using two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method, the present approach makes possible vibration analysis of cylindrical panels with two opposite axial edges simply supported and arbitrary boundary conditions including Free, Simply supported and Clamped at the curved edges. For an overall comprehension on 3-D vibration analysis of sandwich panel, some mode shape contour plots are reported in this research work.

Electrochemical synthesis was employed to prepare a novel hydroxyapatite/graphene (HAP/Gr) composite powder suitable for medical applications as a hard tissue implant (scaffold). The synthesis was performed in a homogeneous dispersion containing Na₂H₂EDTA·2H₂O, NaH₂PO₄ and CaCl₂ with a Ca/EDTA/PO₄³⁻ concentration ratio of 0.25/0.25/0.15M, along with 0.01 wt% added graphene nanosheets, at a current density of 137 mA cm⁻² and pH value of 9.0. The field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations of the composite HAP/Gr powder indicated that nanosized hydroxyapatite particles were uniformly placed in the graphene overlay. Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction confirmed graphene incorporation in the HAP/Gr powder. The electrochemically prepared HAP/Gr composite powder exhibited slight antibacterial effect against the growth of the bacterial strain Staphylococcus aureus.

저압식 LEC(LPLEC)법으로 성장시킨 고순도의 갈륨비소 단결정내에는 탄소 등의 불순물의 유입량이 $10^{15}cm^{-3}$이하로 매우 작아지게 되므로 이 경우 SI(Semi-insulating) 성질을 가진 단결정을 제조하기 위해서는 melt 중의 As분율을 낮추어 주어야 한다. 이 경우 큰 비저항을 가지는 이유는 E12와 탄소간의 compensation 이외에도 native defect인 H1(Ev+77meV, Ev+200 meV)의 double charge acceptor와 H2(Ev+68meV)의 기여도 동시에 고려해야 한다. 통계적인 기법으로 compensation 기구를 분석하면 SI GaAs는 탄소량이 $10^{15}cm^{-3}$이하일 때 melt의 조성이 0.45 근처로 유지하면 제조가 가능하다.
