실리카 또는 카본블랙으로 보강된 SBR 가황물의 응력 풀림 거동을 연구하였다. 1,2-단위체 함량이 18과 60 wt%인 두 가지 SBR을 사용하였으며 보강 시스템으로 카본블랙과 실리카에 실란 결합제가 없는 것 그리고 실리카에 실란 결합제가 있는 것 등 세 가지를 사용하였다. SBR 가황물의 응력 풀림 거동은 보강 시스템뿐만 아니라 SBR 종류에 따라서도 달라졌다. 실리카로 보강된 시료는 카본블랙으로 보강된 시료보다 잔류 변형률이 높았다. 실리카로 보강된 가황물의 잔류 변형률은 실란 커플링제를 첨가함으로써 크게 감소하였다. 카본블랙으로 보강된 가황물의 50% 최대 신장에서의 최대 하중은 실리카로 보강된 가황물의 경우보다 낮았다. 이와는 반대로 카본블랙으로 보강된 가황물의 200% 최대 신장에서의 최대 하중은 실리카로 보강된 가황물의 경우보다 높았다. 1,2-단위체 함량이 60 wt%인 시료의 최대 하중은 1,2-단위체 함량이 18 wt%인 시료의 경우보다 보강 시스템에 상관없이 높았다.

Optical filters to control light wavelength of displays or cameras are fabricated by multi-layer stacking process of low and high index thin films. The process of multi-layer stacking of thin films has received much attention as an optimal process for effective manufacturing in the optical filter industry. However, multi-layer processing has disadvantages of complicated thin film process, and difficulty of precise control of film morphology and material selection, all of which are critical for transmittance and coloring effect on filters. In this study, the composite $TiO_2$, which can be used to control of UV absorption, coated on nano hollow silica sol, was synthesized as a coating material for optical filters. Furthermore, systematic analysis of the process parameters during the chemical reaction, and of the structural properties of the coating solutions was performed using SEM, TEM, XRD and photo spectrometry. From the structural analysis, we found that the 85 nm nano hollow silica with 2.5 nm $TiO_2$ shell formation was successfully synthesized at proper pH control and titanium butoxide content. Photo luminescence characteristics, excited by UV irradiation, show that stable absorption of 350 nm-light, correlated with a 3.54 eV band gap, existed for the $TiO_2$ shell-nano hollow silica reacted with 8.8 mole titanium butoxide solution. Transmittance observed on substrate of the $TiO_2$ shell-nano hollow silica showed effective absorption of 200-300 nm UV light without deterioration of visible light transparency.

Despite the significant features of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs), including better mechanical, fractural, and durability performance, their high content of cement has restricted their use in the construction industry. Although ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is considered the main supplementary cementitious material, its slow pozzolanic reaction stands against its application. The addition of nano-sized mineral modifiers, including nano-silica (NS), is an alternative to address the drawbacks of using GGBFS. The main object of this empirical and numerical research is to examine the effect of NS on the strain-hardening behavior of cementitious composites; ten mixes were designed, and five levels of NS were considered. This study proposes a new method, using a four-point bending test to assess the use of nano-silica (NS) on the flexural behavior, first cracking strength, fracture energy, and micromechanical parameters including interfacial friction bond strength and maximum bridging stress. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used for monitoring the initiation and propagation of the cracks. In addition, to attain a deep comprehension of fiber/matrix interaction, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was used. It was discovered that using nano-silica (NS) in cementitious materials results in an enhancement in the matrix toughness, which prevents multiple cracking and, therefore, strain-hardening. In addition, adding NS enhanced the interfacial transition zone between matrix and fiber, leading to a higher interfacial friction bond strength, which helps multiple cracking in the composite due to the hydrophobic nature of polypropylene (PP) fibers. The findings of this research provide insight into finding the optimum percent of NS in which both ductility and high tensile strength of the composites would be satisfied. As a concluding remark, a new criterion is proposed, showing that the optimum value of nano-silica is 2%. The findings and proposed method of this study can facilitate the design and utilization of green cementitious composites in structures.

본 연구는 마이크로미터 크기의 실리카 입자로 강화된 에폭시 복합재료 시편의 실리카 함량에 따른 열안정성을 기계적 물성인 영률 측정과 열적 물성인 열팽창계수 측정을 통해 평가하였다. 실험한 범위인 에폭시 중량 대비 실리카 함량 70 wt% 시편까지 실리카 함량에 따라 열팽창계수는 지속적으로 감소하여 약 25%까지 감소하여 열안정성이 개선되었으며, 영률 역시 점진적으로 증가하여 약 51%까지 증가하였다. 또한, 기존 연구에서 제시된 몇 가지 경험식 모델을 통한 해석결과를 실험결과와 비교하였는데, 열팽창계수 측정결과는 체적탄성계수와 전단탄성계수를 고려한 Kerner 모델의 결과와 잘 맞았으며, 영률 결과는 마이크로 크기 충전제에 대한 수치모델인 Mori-Tanaka 모델과 잘 부합하였다. 이를 통해 복합재료의 열팽창 및 영률 예측을 위한 모델에서는 체적분률 외에 충전제 함유량에 따른 추가적인 물성 변화를 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 기계적 물성을 개선함과 동시에 전기 절연성을 부여하기 위해 에폭시 수지에 탄소나노튜브와 실리카 입자를 혼입하여 하이브리드 복합재료를 제작하였다. 두 충전제의 함량을 변화시켜 제작한 시편으로 인장강도, 영률, 동적기계분석 그리고 전기 비저항을 측정하였으며, 이를 통해 기계적, 전기적 물성을 고찰하였다. 또한 하이브리드 복합재료 시편의 기계적 물성을 평가하고자 영률을 측정한 결과와 미시역학 모델을 이용해 계산한 결과를 비교하였다. 탄소나노튜브 함량 0.6 wt%와 실리카 함량 50 wt%를 첨가하여 제작한 하이브리드 복합재료 시편에서 인장강도 및 영률은 에폭시 복합재료 시편 대비 각각 약 11 %와 35 %의 증가를 보여 가장 높은 기계적 물성을 나타내었다. 에폭시 수지에 전도성 충전제인 탄소나노튜브를 분산시키면 전기 전도성이 향상되었으며, 여기에 절연성 충전제인 실리카를 추가로 혼입한 하이브리드 복합재료 시편에서는 개선된 기계적 물성과 더불어 전기 절연성을 증대시킬 수 있었다.

Haloacetonitriles (HANs) are nitrogenous disinfection by-products (DBPs) that have been reported to have a higher toxicity than the other groups of DBPs. The adsorption process is mostly used to remove HANs in aqueous solutions. Functionalized composite materials tend to be effective adsorbents due to their hydrophobicity and specific adsorptive mechanism. In this study, the removal of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) from tap water by adsorption on thiol-functionalized mesoporous composites made from natural rubber (NR) and hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS-SH) was investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that the thiol group of NR/HMS was covered with NR molecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated an expansion of the hexagonal unit cell. Adsorption kinetic and isotherm models were used to determine the adsorption mechanisms and the experiments revealed that NR/HMS-SH had a higher DCAN adsorption capacity than powered activated carbon (PAC). NR/HMS-SH adsorption reached equilibrium after 12 hours and its adsorption kinetics fit well with a pseudo-second-order model. A linear model was found to fit well with the DCAN adsorption isotherm at a low concentration level.

Bioactive glass (BG) finds limited use as a bone replacement material owing to its low mechanical properties. In order to solve this problem, the micro-sized 13-93 BG was prepared as a fabric composite with SiC microfibers, and its mechanical properties and biocompatibility were investigated in this study. The tensile strengths of BG-SiC fiber-bundle composites increased in proportion to the number of SiC fibers. In particular, even when only one SiC fiber was substituted, the tensile strength increased by 81% to 1428 MPa. In the early stage of the in-vitro test, a silica-rich layer was formed on the surface of the 13-93 BG fibers. With time, calcium phosphate grew on the silica-rich layer and the BG fibers were delaminated. On the other hand, no products were observed on the SiC fibers for 7 days, therefore, SiC fibers are expected to maintain their strength even after transplantation in the body.

Highly proten-conductive elastic composites have been successfully prepared from $H_3PO_4$-doped silica gel and styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block elastic copolymer. In addition solid state electric double-layer capacitors have been fabricated using the composite as an electrolyte and activated carbon powders(ACP) hybridized with the composite as a polrizable electrode. The cyclic voltammogram of the electric double-layer capacitor fabricated demonstrated that electric charge was stored in the elecric double-layer at the interface between the polarizable electrode and the electrolyte. The value of capacitance of the capacitor was 10 F/(gram of total ACP), which was comparable to that of the capacitors using conventional liquid electrolytes.

The synthetic conditions and characteristics of ZSM-5 type zeolites (ZSM-5/silicalite) for the preparation of the zeolite composite membranes for gas separation were investigated. ZSM-5 zeolites could be synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment of the mixture of colloidal silica sol aluminum nitrate sodium hydroxide and TPABr at a temperature range of 150-17$0^{\circ}C$ in the autoclave. Silicalties were done from the solution of water glass water and TPABr. Their crystalline structures transformed from orthorhombic to monoclinic from and their pore structures of three-dimensional channels were opened as TPABr filling channels was burned off at the calcination temperature of 50$0^{\circ}C$. The specific surface area of the calcined zeolite was about 360 m3/g and its surface property was hydrophobic. Crystal sizes of ZSM-5 and silicalite were 0.5-1.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 8-10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ respectively having no change due to the calcination. In particular the shape and the size of the ZSM-5 type zeolite were sensitively varied with silica sources and concentrations of reaction solutions/sols.
