Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) consist of a polymeric matrix and a conductive filler, for example, carbon black, carbon fibers, graphite or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The critical amount of the electrically conductive filler necessary to build up a continuous conductive network, and accordingly, to make the material conductive; is referred to as the percolation threshold. From technical and economical viewpoints, it is desirable to decrease the conductive-filler percolation-threshold as much as possible. In this study, we investigated the effect of polymer/conductive-filler interactions, as well as the processing and morphological development of low-percolation-threshold (${\Phi}c$) conductive-polymer composites. The aim of the study was to produce conductive composites containing less multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) than required for pure polypropylene (PP) through two approaches: one using various mixing methods and the other using immiscible polymer blends. Variants of the conductive PP composite filled with MWCNT was prepared by dry mixing, melt mixing, mechanofusion, and compression molding. The percolation threshold (${\Phi}c$) of the MWCNT-PP composites was most successfully lowered using the mechanofusion process than with any other mixing method (2-5 wt%). The mechanofusion process was found to enhance formation of a percolation network structure, and to ensure a more uniform state of dispersion in the CPCs. The immiscible-polymer blends were prepared by melt mixing (internal mixer) poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF, PP/PVDF, volume ratio 1:1) filled with MWCNT.

The preparation of composite powders for plasma spraying by an in-house designed mechanofusion process is investigated. Results show that dry particle coating depends on the chemical and mechanical properties of powders. In metal/oxide and metal/oxide/carbide powder mixtures, fine ceramic particles coat the surface of the metallic coarser particles. A nearly rounded shape of the final composite particles is induced by the mechanical energy input with no formation of new phases. However with the carbide/metal powdered system, only an intimate mixture of components is achieved. It is suggested that the coating mechanism is governed by agglomeration and rolling phenomena.

UV 및 블루라이트를 차단하는 세륨 옥사이드 나노 입자와 다공성 실리카와의 복합입자를 건식 코팅 공정을 통해 제조하였다. 실리카와 세륨 옥사이드 간 혼합 비율과 메카노 퓨전 장치의 챔버 회전속도 등의 제조 조건을 달리하여 여러 복합입자를 만든 후, 입자 표면 형태를 SEM으로 관측 비교하고 XRF을 통해 복합입자의 조성을 분석하였다. 세륨 옥사이드를 실리카와 함께 복합입자로 만들어 물에 분산시키면 현탁 용액의 투명도가 높아지고 분산 안정성이 향상되었다. 또한 파우더의 유동성과 발림성이 개선되었다. 본 연구를 통해 세륨 옥사이드/실리카 복합입자가 자외선 및 블루라이트를 차단하는 기능성 화장품 소재로 사용 가능함을 확인하였다.
