본 연구에서는 리그닌 기반 폴리아크릴로나이트릴(polyacrylonitrile, PAN) 공중합체를 전기방사하여 나노탄소섬유 매트를 제조한 다음, 에폭시 수지를 보강하여 제조한 복합재료의 열적 특성 및 기계적 강도를 조사하였다. 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재는 에폭시 수지와 유사한 열분해 거동을 보이고 있는 반면에 유리전이온도는 $106.9^{\circ}C$로 순수에폭시 수지의 유리전이온도($T_g$) $90.7^{\circ}C$보다 다소 높은 경향으로 나타나 열적 안정성이 향상된 결과로 사료된다. 리그닌 기반 공중합체 및 순수 PAN으로 만든 나노탄소섬유 매트의 인장강도는 각각 7.2 및 9.4 MPa로 나타났으며, 리그닌 기반 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재료의 인장강도는 43.0 MPa로 나타났다. 이는 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재료에서 에폭시 수지 매트릭스(matrix) 내에서 나노탄소섬유가 강화제(reinforcing filler)로 작용한 효과로 약 6배의 인장강도 향상을 보였다. 인장강도 측정 후 시편의 절단면에서 나노탄소섬유 자체의 높은 인장강도(478.8 MPa) 및 에폭시 수지와의 약한 계면접착성에 기인하는 나노섬유의 뽑힘현상이 관찰되었다.

Composite materials of mesoporous carbon and carbon nanotubes were synthesized using Ni, Co and Pd-loaded CMK3 via a catalytic reaction of methane and $CO_2$. The CNTs grew from the pores of the mesoporous carbon supports, and they were attached tightly to the CMK3 surface in a densely tangled shape. The CNT/CMK3 composite showed both non-graphitic mesoporous structures, and graphitic characteristics originating from the MWCNTS grown in the pores of CMK3. The electrochemical properties of the materials were characterized by their electrorheological effects and cyclic voltammetry. The CNTs/CMK3 composites showed high electrical conductivity and current density. The CNT/CMK3 or KOH-modified CNT/CMK3 particles were incorporated in a PMMA matrix to improve the thermal and electrical conductivity. Even higher thermal conductivity was achieved by the addition of KOH-modified CNT/CMK3 particles.

In this study, we present a more electrochemically enhanced electrode using activated carbon (AC)-sulfur (S) composite materials, which have high current density. The morphological and micro-structure properties were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Quantity of sulfur was measured by thermogravimetric analysis analysis. The electrochemical behaviors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. As a trapping carbon structure, AC could provide a porous structure for containing sulfur. We were able to confirm that the AC-S composite electrode had superior electrochemical activity.

Si-carbon composites as anode materials for lithium rechargeable batteries were prepared simply by mixing Si nanoparticles with carbon black and/or graphite through a solution process. Si nanoparticles were well dispersed and deposited on the surface of the carbon in a tetrahydrofuran solution. Si-carbon composites showed more than 700 mAh/g of initial capacity under less than 20% loading of Si nanoparticle in the composites. While the electrode with only Si nanoparticles showed fast capacity fading during continuous cycling, Si-carbon composite electrodes showed higher capacities. The cycle performances of Si nanoparticles in composites containing graphite were improved due to the role of the graphite as a matrix.

A method for numerical simulation of the carbonization process in manufacturing of a carbon-carbon composite is developed. A general theory, which consists of analyses of heat and mass transfer together with stress and displacement predictions, is constructed. A homogeneous, single phase, isotropic material is selected and a computer program is developed for an arbitrary 2-dimensional geometry using FEM. Material properties are obtained through experiments and references, and are modeled effectively to serve the simulation purpose. The validity of the simulation is verified through several comparisons with experimental data, where close agreements are observed. Finally, examples of actual applications are considered to exhibit the capability and utilization of the code in process optimization.

Performance of direct methanol fuel cell using high porous active carbon as an uncatalysed diffusion layer in anode (composite electrode) has been evaluated. Effects of porous active carbon in anode were investigated by galvanostatic method and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The single cell was operated with 2.5 M methanol at temperature of $80-120^{\circ}C$ and showed performance of $210-510\;mA/cm^2$ at 0.4V. By replacing conventional electrode with composite electrode, the increment of $290\;mA/cm^2$ in current density was obtained at $90^{\circ}C$and 0.4V. The potential decay of the single cell was about 14.5% for 20 days operation.

In order to study the semi-conductive characteristics of carbon black-filled ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) composite film, which is used for measuring occlusal force, composite samples with volume ratios of carbon black to EPDM ranging from 30% to 70% were prepared. The process of making a composite film consists of two steps, which involve the preparation of a slurry composition and the fabrication of a thin film using solution casting and a lamination process. To prepare the slurry composition, we dispersed carbon black nanoparticles into an organic solvent before mixing with an EPDM solution in toluene. The mechanical and electrical properties of the resulting carbon black-filled EPDM film were then investigated, and the results showed that the electrical resistance of a film decreases with the increase in the carbon black content. Furthermore, improved elastic recovery was observed after cross-linking the EPDM.

Carbon fiber polymeric composites have been widely used in bearing materials under high pressure without oil-lubrication due to their self-lubricating characteristics. However, the severe wear of carbon composite surface occurs due to the generation of wear debris when the pressure applied on the composite surface is higher than the critical value of composite surface. In this work, in order to remove wear debris continuously during sliding operation, composite specimens with many micro-grooves on their sliding surfaces were devised. To investigate the effect of wear debris on the tribological behavior of carbon/epoxy composites, dry sliding tests were performed with respect to applied pressure using the composite specimens with and without micro-grooves. From the measurement of friction coefficients and wear rates, a model for the effect of wear debris on the friction and wear of composites was proposed.

Cure monitoring and nondestructive characteristics of carbon fiber/epoxy composites were evaluated by the measurements of electrical resistance and acoustic emission (AE). Logarithmic electrical resistivity of the untreated single-carbon fiber composite increased suddenly to infinity when the fiber fracture occurred, whereas that of the electrodeposited composite increased relatively broadly up to infinity. As curing temperature increased. logarithmic electrical resistivity of steel fiber increased. On the other hand, electrical resistance of carbon fiber decreased due to the intrinsic electrical properties based on the band theory. The apparent modulus of the electrodeposited composite was higher than that of the untreated composite due to the improved interfacial shear strength (IFSS).

Logarithmic electrical resistivity of the untreated or thin diameter carbon fiber composite increased suddenly to the infinity when the fiber fracture occurred by tensile electro-micromechanical test, whereas that of the ED or thick fiber composite increased relatively broadly up to the infinity. Electrical resistance of single-carbon fiber composite increased suddenly due to electrical disconnection by the fiber fracture in tensile electro-micromechanical test, whereas that of SFC increased stepwise due to the occurrence of the partial electrical contact with increasing the buckling or overlapping in compressive test. Electrical resistivity measurement can be very useful technique to evaluate interfacial properties and to monitor curing behavior of single-carbon fiber/epoxy composite under tensile/compressive loading.
