Abstract

Nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene are considered to be ideal fillers for polymer composites, because of their outstanding mechanical properties and high length-to-diameter ratio. There has been much effort to realize the implementation of their full potential, but a large number of unsolved problems still must be challenged, for example, effective processing for fabrication. This review deals with the progress that has already been made in the area of nanocarbon polymer composites using CNT and graphene. Mechanical reinforcement of various nanocarbon polymer composites is analyzed and compared, and future perspectives in research and development that need to be done are discussed.

탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 그래핀 같은 나노카본은 기계적 성질이 탁월하고 직경 대 길이의 비가 커서 고분자 복합재료의 강화재로 이상적인 것으로 생각된다. 그동안 나노탄소의 특성을 복합재료에 그대로 전환시키기 위한 많은 연구들이 있었지만 여전히 해결되지 않은 많은 문제, 예를 들면 효율적인 공정의 개발 등이 숙제로 남아있다. 이 총설에서는 CNT와 그래핀을 이용하는 나노탄소 고분자 복합재료 분야에서 이룬 그 간의 발전을 살펴보았으며, 여러 가지 나노탄소 고분자 복합재료에서 기계적인 강화가 어느 정도 이루어지는지 비교, 분석하고 향후 연구개발 방향을 전망하였다.
