This study is aimed to investigate the electrically conductive properties of epoxy nanocomposites exposed to an acidic environment under various mechanical loads. For simultaneous assessment of the acidic environment and mechanical load on the electrical conductivity of the samples, the samples with and without carbon nanotubes were exposed to the acidic environment under three different loading conditions for 20 days. Then, the aged samples' strength and flexural stiffness degradation under crude oil and bending stress were measured using a three-point flexural test. The aged samples in the acidic environment and under 80 percent of their intact ultimate strength revealed a 9% and 26% reduction of their electrical conductivity for samples with and without CNTs, respectively. The presence of nanoparticles declined flexural stiffness by about 16.39%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the specimen were used to evaluate the dispersion quality of CNTs. The results of this study can be exploited in constructing conductive composite electrodes to be used in petroleum environments such as crude oil electrostatic tanks.

본 논문에서는 CNT강화 에폭시 복합재의 열기계적 거동을 예측하고 그 경향을 분석하기 위해 분자동역학 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 에폭시 내부 CNT의 체적비율을 0~25%까지 총 6개의 모형을 구성하였다. 열적 거동을 보기 위해 300~600 K까지 일정하게 온도를 상승시켰으며, 온도와 비체적 관계를 이용하여 유리전이 온도와 열팽창 계수를 산출하였다. 또한 일정 변형도 하중을 통해 탄성 계수를 산출하여 기계적 거동을 예측하였다. 추가적으로 CNT의 표면처리에 따른 기계적 거동을 분석하였다. 질소 도핑 및 COOH, OH 그룹을 처리한 3개의 모형을 구성하였으며, 각 모형의 탄성 계수 및 경계면 거동에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 에폭시 내부 CNT의 응집은 열기계적 거동에 교란을 가지고 올 수 있으며, 표면처리는 복합재의 기계적 물성뿐만 아니라 경계면 특성까지도 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 전단혼합과 초음파 처리를 통해 충전재의 분산을 증대시켜 복합재료 시편을 만들고, 분산의 적정성을 판단하기 위해서 주사전자현미경 이미지를 이용하며, 인장실험을 통해 기계적 물성치를 측정하고 고찰하였다. 초음파 처리와 전단혼합 시간 증가를 통해서 개선된 공정으로 만들어진 시편의 경우, 충전재 분산에 대한 정성적인 평가인 SEM 이미지와 정량적인 평가인 인장시험 데이터의 상호 보완을 통해 충전재의 복합재료 수지 내에서의 적절한 분산 여부를 판단할 수 있었다. 인장강도의 측정 결과에서는 충전재가 함유된 모든 시편이 Pure Epoxy 시편 보다 높은 인장 강도를 보였는데, 충전재 0.6wt%에서 가장 높은 인장강도 값을 나타냈다. 0.9wt%와 1.2wt% 시편은 Pure Epoxy 시편보다는 인장강도가 증가하였지만 0.6wt% 시편보다 작은 값을 보였다. 인장강성 측정 결과는 충전재의 함유량이 높아질수록 증가하는 결과를 보였다.

구조용 일액형 에폭시 접착제에 나노 및 마이크로 크기의 Fe₃O₄ 분말을 첨가하여 유도가열용 접착제를 제조하였고, 제조된 접착제를 이용하여 GFRP 피착재의 두께 및 Fe₃O₄ 분말의 첨가량 변화에 따른 가열 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 접착제의 승온 거동이 유도 가열로 가열한 경우 오븐경화에 비해 GFRP 피착재의 두께에 영향을 작게 받는 것이 관찰되었으며 접착제 내의 Fe₃O₄ 분말의 함량이 증가할수록 가열 속도와 전단 강도가 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.

Mechanochemical effects that occurred in the fine grinding process of quartz particles using planetary ball mill was investigated. Quartz particles have been frequently utilized for optical materials, semiconductor molding materials. We determined that grinding for a long time can be create amorphous structures from the crystalline quartz by Mechanochemical effects. But, to be produced nano-composite particles that the critical grinding time reached for composite materials in a short time. Henceforth, a qualitative estimation must be conducted on the filler for EMC(Epoxy molding compound) materials. It can be produced mechanochemically treated composite materials and also an integrated grinding efficiency considering of the nano-composite amorphous structured particles. The mechanochemical characteristics were evaluated based on particle morphology, size distribution, specific surface area, density and the amount of amorphous phase materials into the particle surface. The grinding operation in the planetary ball mill can be classified into three stages. During the first stage, initial particle size was reduced for the increase of specific surface area. In the second stage, the specific surface areas increased in spite of the increase in particle size. The final stage as a critical grinding stage, the ground quartz was considered mechanochemically treated particles as a nano- composite amorphous structured particles. The development of amorphous phase on the particle surface was evaluated by X-ray diffractometry, thermal gravity analysis and IR spectrometer. The amount of amorphous phase of particles ground for 2048 minutes was 85.3% and 88.2% by X-ray analysis and thermal gravity analysis, respectively.

In order to develop an new electric insulation material for heavy electric equipments, epoxy/micro/nano composite (EMNC) was prepared by mixing micro-silica with nano layered silicate, where the nano layered silicate was synthesized by our electric field dispersion method, EMNSC was prepared by treating the EMNC with a silane coupling agent. Thermal properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal expansion coefficient, and DMA characteristics were studied, and mechanicla properties such as tensile and flexural tests were performed. AC electrical insulation strength was also tested. All properties of EMNSC were modified by treating EMNC with silane coupling agent and it was confirmed that our new developed composites could be used in the heavy electric equipments.

나노 재료를 다룰 때 큰 문제 중의 하나는 반데르발스(van der Waals) 상호작용으로 응집되어 있는 나노 입자, 특히 CNT를 어떻게 효과적으로 분산시킬 수 있는가이다. 본 연구에서는 나노 입자를 효과적으로 분산시킬 수 있는 방법으로 코로나 방전(corona discharge) 현상과 정전식모(electrostatic flocking) 공정을 이용한 새로운 분산방법인 방전식모(dischare flocking) 장치를 고안하였으며 분산특성을 평가하기 위하여 방전식모 및 RFI 공정으로 복합재료 시편을 제작하여 전기적, 기계적 특성을 비교하였다. 더욱이, CNT와 에폭시의 기체 방전 효과를 평가하기 위하여 플라즈마 처리된 CNT를 사용하여 복합재료를 제작하였으며 전기적, 기계적 특성을 측정하였다. 방전식모 공정으로 제작 된 복합재료 시편의 특성은 RFI로 제작된 시편과 유사하였으며 방전식모 공정중의 기체방전 현상은 플라즈마 처리된 CNT에 영향을 주지 않았다.

The incorporation of 90 nm alumina particles into an epoxy matrix to form a composite microstructure is described in present study. It is shown that the use of ultrafine particles results in a substantial change in the behavior of the composite, which can be traced to the mitigation of internal charges when a comparison is made with conventional $Al_2O_3$ fillers. A variety of diagnostic techniques have been used to augment pulsed electro-acoustic space charge measurement to provide a basis for understanding the underlying physics of the phenomenon. It would appear that, when the size of the inclusions becomes small enough, they act cooperatively with the host structure and cease to exhibit interfacial properties. It is postulated that the $Al_2O_3$ particles are surrounded by high charge concentrations. Since $Al_2O_3$ particles have very high specific areas, these regions allow limited charge percolation through $Al_2O_3$ filled dielectrics. The practical consequences of this have also been explored in terms of the electric strength exhibited. It would appear that there was a window in which real advantages accumulated from the nano-formulated material. An optimum filler loading of about 0.5 wt.% was indicated.

A multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass annular sector plate is studied in this paper in the view of determining nonlinear forced vibration characteristics. A 3D Mori-Tanaka model is employed for evaluating multi-scale material properties. Thus, all of glass fibers are assumed to have uni-direction alignment and CNTs have random diffusion. The geometry of annular sector plate can be described based on the open angle and the value of inner/outer radius. In order to solve governing equations and derive exact forced vibration curves for the multi-scale annular sector, Jacobi elliptic functions are used. Obtained results demonstrate the significance of CNT distribution, geometric nonlinearity, applied force, fiberglass volume, open angle and fiber directions on forced vibration characteristics of multi-scale annular sector plates.
