Abstract

In this paper, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) particles were added between the sheets of prepreg, and the effect of on many properties of BN-embedded carbon fiber reinforced plastics was investigated. The amount of BN particles which corresponds with 0 to 15 wt% of total resin weight was used as an additive material. The tensile strength and the inter-laminar shear strength of BN-embedded CFRP samples were improved by maximally 13.6%, and 6.7%, respectively. The tendency changes of thermal, electrical conductivities and the morphology of cross-section of CFRPs were also observed. This study suggests the possibility of controlling the characteristics of carbon fiber-BN-epoxy composites to use for aerospace applications.

질화붕소(BN)는 높은 열전도도를 가지는 2D 형상의 부도체로 복합재료의 강화 필러로 연구되고 있는 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 판상의 육방정 질화붕소(h-BN)를 탄소섬유 다발 사이에 첨가하여 BN이 함유된 탄소섬유강화 복합소재(CFRPs)를 제조하여 BN 필러가 CFRP의 여러 물성에 어떤 영향을 주는지 탐구하였다. 사용된 프리프레그의 수지 총량의 0-15 wt%의 BN 필러가 프리프레그 층 사이에 첨가되었다. BN 필러가 첨가된 복합소재의 인장강도는 최대 13.6%, 계면간 전단응력은 최대 6.7% 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. BN 첨가량에 따른 열전도도와 전기전도도의 변화와, BN의 첨가량에 따른 시편의 단면 형상 변화 또한 관찰되어 탄소섬유-BN-에폭시 복합소재의 물성 제어 가능성을 제시하였다.
