For polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fiber (CF) process, we developed a lab scale wet spinning line and a continuous tailor-made stabilization system with ten columns for controlling temperature profile. PAN precursor was spun with a different spinning rate. PAN spun fibers were stabilized with a total duration of 45 to 110 min at a given temperature profile. Furthermore, a stabilization temperature profile was varied with the last column temperature from 230 to $275^{\circ}C$. Stabilized fibers were carbonized in nitrogen atmosphere at $1200^{\circ}C$ in a furnace. Morphologies of spun and CFs were observed using optical and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Tensile properties of resulting CFs were measured. The results revealed that process conditions such as spinning rate, stabilization time, and temperature profile affect microstructure and tensile properties of CFs significantly.

Green composites composed of long maize fibers and poly $\varepsilon$-caprolactone (PCL) biodegradable polyester matrix were manufactured by the thermo-mechanical processing termed as 'Sequential Molding and Forming Process' that was developed previously by the authors' research group. A variety of processing parameters such as fiber area fraction, molding temperature and forming pressure were systematically controlled and their influence on the tensile properties was investigated. It was revealed that both tensile strength and elastic modulus of the composites increase steadily depending on the increase in fiber area fraction, suggesting a general conformity to the rule of mixtures (ROM), particularly up to 55% fiber area fraction. The improvement in tensile properties was found to be closely related to the good interfacial adhesion between the fiber and polymer matrix, and was observed to be more pronounced under the optimum processing condition of $130^{\circ}C$ molding temperature and 10 MPa forming pressure. However, processing out of the optimum condition results in a deterioration in properties, mostly fiber and/or matrix degradation together with their interfacial defect as a consequence of the thermal or mechanical damages. On the basis of microstructural observation, the cause of strength degradation and its countermeasure to provide a feasible composite design are discussed in relation to the optimized process conditions.

In the present study, chopped henequen natural fibers without and with surface modification by electron beam (E-beam) treatment were incorporated into a polypropylene matrix. Prior to composite fabrication, a bundle of raw henequen fibers were treated at various E-beam intensities from 10 kGy to 500 kGy. The effect of E-beam intensity on the interfacial, mechanical and thermal properties of randomly oriented henequen/polypropylene composites with the fiber contents of 40 vol% was investigated focusing on the interfacial shear strength, flexural and tensile properties, dynamic mechanical properties, thermal stability, and fracture behavior. Each characteristic of the material strongly depended on the E-beam intensity irradiated, showing an increasing or decreasing effect. The present study demonstrates that henequen fiber surfaces can be modified successfully with an appropriate dosage of electron beam and use of a low E-beam intensity of 10 kGy results in the improvement of the interfacial properties, flexural properties, tensile properties, dynamic mechanical properties and thermal stability of henequen/polypropylene composites.

Biocomposite was organized with biodegradable polymer and natural fiber that has potential to be used as replacement for glass fiber reinforced polymer composite with the benefits of low cost, low density, acceptable specific strength, biodegradability, etc. Until now, non-wood fibers have been used as reinforcements of biocomposite which are all plant-based fibers. The present study focused on investigating the fabrication and characterization of biocomposite reinforced with red algae fiber. The bleached red algae fiber(BRAF) showed very similar crystallinity to the cellulose. It has high stability against thermal degradation (maximum thermal decomposition temperature of 359.3$^{\circ}C$) and thermal expansion. Biocomposites reinforced with BRAF have been fabricated by a compression molding method and their mechanical and thermal properties have been studied. The storage modulus and the thermomechanical stability of PBS matrix are markedly improved with reinforcing the BRAF. These results support that the red algae fiber can be used as an excellent reinforcement of biocomposites as "green-composite" or "eco-composite".

본 연구에서는 시공성 향상을 위해 데크플레이트와 비정질강섬유 콘크리트를 적용하여 현장 무배근 슬래브 시스템을 연구하였다. 제안한 슬래브에서는 온도철근을 강섬유로 대체하였다. 본 연구는 연속슬래브에서 상부 철근이 연속되지 않는 경우 슬래브의 상부 균열 제어를 주로 고려하였다. 실험변수로 비정질강섬유 혼입량, 강섬유 종류, 데크플레이트 종류, 연속구간의 철근 이음을 고려하였으며, 수직하중을 받는 2경간 슬래브를 실험하였다. 슬래브의 균열저항성능을 평가하기 위하여 연속슬래브의 하중에 따른 균열폭을 계측하였다. 실험결과, 상부 이음철근을 사용하지 않더라도 합성슬래브의 높은 휨강성으로 인하여 균열을 억제할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study has been carried out in two-phases to develop Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete (FRSCC) performance. In the first phase, the composition of the quaternary composite binder compromised CEM I 42.5N (58-70%), Rice Husk Ash (25-37%), quartz sand (2.5-7.5%) and limestone crushing waste (2.5-7.5%) were optimized. And in the second phase, the effect of two fiber types (steel brass-plated and basalt) was investigated on the SCC optimized with the optimum CB as disperse reinforcement at 6 different ratios of 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0% by weight of mix for each type. In this study, the theoretical principles of the synthesis of self-compacting dispersion-reinforced concrete have been developed which consists of optimizing structure-formation processes through the use of a mineral modifier, together with ground crushed cement in a vario-planetary mill to a specific surface area of 550 m2 / kg. The amorphous silica in the modifier composition intensifies the binding of calcium hydroxide formed during the hydration of C3S, helps reduce the basicity of the cement-composite, while reducing the growth of portlandite crystals. Limestone particles contribute to the formation of calcium hydrocarbonate and, together with fine ground quartz sand; act as microfiller, clogging the pores of the cement. Furthermore, the results revealed that the effect of fiber addition improves the mechanical properties of FRSCC. It was found that the steel fiber performed better than basalt fiber on tensile strength and modulus of elasticity; however, both fibers have the same performance on the first crack strength and sample destruction of FRSCC. It also illustrates that there will be an optimum percentage of fiber addition.

Because the running speed of vehicles is increasing and a shorter braking distance is required, high heat-resistant brake pads are needed to satisfy the requirements of customers and car makers. In the near future, hazardous materials such as Cu, Cr, Zn, and Sb will be restricted from use in friction materials. Ceramic composites reinforced by carbon fibers are good candidates for eco-friendly friction materials. In this study, we develop ceramic composite friction materials. The friction materials are composed of carbon fibers, Si, SiC, graphite, and phenol resin and are prepared by hot forming and heat treatment at high temperatures. The density, void ratio, and compressive strength are $1.59-1.66g/cm^3$, 16.6-20, and 70-90 MPa, respectively. Friction and wear tests are performed using a pin-on-plate-type reciprocating friction tester at 25, 100, and $200^{\circ}C$. The counterpart material is a CrMoV steel extracted from a KTX brake disc. Friction coefficient, wear amount, and wear mechanism are measured and examined. We determine that the friction coefficients depend on the temperature and the fluctuation of the friction coefficients is larger at higher temperatures. The amount of wear increases with the surface temperatures of the specimens. The tribological properties of the developed composites are similar to those of a Cu-based sintered friction material. Through this study, it is confirmed that ceramic composite materials can be used as friction materials.

최근 내진부재 및 기존 구조물의 내진보강요소의 손상제어(Damage tolerance)성능을 충족할 수 있는 변형경화형 시멘트 복합체(Strain-hardening cement composites, SHCC)의 개발 및 활용 연구가 진행 중이며, 하이브리드화에 따른 경제성 및 성능향상 가능성도 보고되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 우수한 성능을 갖는 SHCC 재료가 실구조물의 보수/보강재 및 내진보강부재에 적용되기 위해서는 우수한 인장성능 발현뿐만 아니라, 보강섬유의 단가를 고려한 경제적 효과(Economical efficiency) 및 시공성 (Workability)이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SHCC를 내진부재 및 보강재료로써 적용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 합성섬유를 하이브리드하여 혼입시 휨 및 인장강도, 변형능력 등 거동특성을 분석함으로써 각 보강섬유의 인장강도 탄성계수 등 기계적 특성과 혼입율에 따른 재료성능과의 상관관계를 비교 분석하여 평가하고자 한다. 또한 물시멘트비를 변수로 하여 시멘트 복합체의 강도특성과 보강섬유의 부착특성 및 균열제어성능을 규명하고자 한다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 향후 SHCC 재료의 실구조물 적용시 요구성능 및 경제성을 고려한 재료배합에 관한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다.

이 논문은 합성섬유를 이용하여 포틀랜드 시멘트 모르타르를 보강한 복합재료인 ECC(Engineered Cementitious Composite)의 설계 과정과 건설현장에 이 복합재료를 적용할 수 있도록 시공성을 부여한 연구 내용을 정리하였다. 이 연구에서는 다양한 시공성, 즉 자기충전(self·consolidating)과 스프레이 시공성을 갖는 ECC를 제작하기 위하여 단계적인 재료 개발 방법론을 채택하였다. 우선 마이크로역학(micromechanics)과 안정상태균열이론(steady-state cracking theory)을 이용하여 골재와 섬유를 선정한 후, 굳기 전 재료의 레올로지를 제어하는 방법으로 시공성을 구현하였다. 여기서, 굳기 전 재료의 레올로지를 제어하기 위하여 화학첨가제(chemical admixtures)와 광물첨가재(mineral admixtures)의 양을 소량으로 조절하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 방법을 활용함으로써 굳기 전에는 다양한 시공성을 나타내면서, 굳은 후에는 높은 연성(인장변형경화 거동)을 나타내는 실용적인 ECC 복합재료를 개발하였다.
