Abstract

In this experimental study, the thermal stability values of micrometer-sized silica particle-reinforced epoxy composite specimens were evaluated by measuring their thermal expansion coefficients and Young's moduli. For all specimens used in this study (from the baseline specimen to that containing 70 wt% silica filler), the thermal expansion coefficients and Young's moduli were gradually reduced down to 25% and increased up to 51%, respectively. The results of the experiment were compared with those of certain empirical models. The experimental results of the measurement of thermal expansion coefficients corresponded well with those of Kerner's model, which considers the bulk and shear moduli of the matrix and silica filler. However, the results of the measurement of Young's moduli using the empirical Mori-Tanaka model were observed to match better with those of the experiment. The comparison of the results of the experiment with those of the empirical models demonstrated that a reliable model for measuring the thermal expansion coefficients and Young's moduli of composite specimens needs to consider certain property variations in the composites in addition to volume fraction changes in the filler and matrix.

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.
