In this work, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning to prepare the nanofibers-reinforced composites. And the PEO powders-impregnated composites were also prepared to compare the mechanical interfacial behaviors of the composites. Morphology and fiber diameter of PEO nanofibers were determined by SEM observation. Mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were investigated in fracture toughness $(K_{IC})$ and interlaminar shea. strength (ILSS) tests. As a result, the fiber diameter was decreased with increasing the applied voltage. And optimum condition for the fiber formation was 15 kV, resulting from increasing of jet instability at high voltage. The PEO-based nanofibers-reinforced epoxy composites showed the improvements of both $K_{IC}$ and ILSS, compared to the composites impregnated with PEO powders. These results indicated that the nanofibers had higher specific surface area and larger aspect ratio than those of the powders, which played an important role in improving the mechanical interfacial properties of the composites.

In this work, the effect of fiber array direction including $0^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}/90^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}/45^{\circ}/-45^{\circ}$ was investigated for mechanical properties of basalt fiber-reinforced composites. Mechanical properties of the composites were studied using interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) measurements. The cross-section morphologies of basalt fiber-reinforced epoxy composites were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Also, the surface properties of basalt fibers were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). From the results, it was observed that acid treated basalt fiber-reinforced composites showed significantly higher mechanical interfacial properties than those of untreated basalt fiber-reinforced composites. These results indicated that the hydroxyl functional groups of basalt fibers lead to the improvement of the mechanical interfacial properties of basalt fibers/epoxy composites in the all array direction.

In this work, the blend system prepared from epoky(DGEBA)/polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) was investigated in thermal and mechanical interfacial property measurements. The thermal properties were carried out by DSC, DMA, and TGA measurements. Also, the surface free energy and fracture toughness were determined by contact angle and critical stress intensity factor($K_{IC}$), respectively. And the fracture surface was observed by SEM after $K_{IC}$ tests. As experimental results, the curing temperature and glass transition temperature were slightly increased in addition of PMMA. Surface free energy of the blends showed an improved value at low contents of PMMA which could be attributed to the both increasings of London dispersive and polar components. From measurement of $K_{IC}$ of the blends, the highest value was found at 5 phr. This was due to the increasing of compatibility or physical interaction in macromolecular chains between DGEBA and PMMA of the blends.

Ti/Steel 클래드 판재를 제조하기 위하여 티타늄과 강판을 직접 접합하는 경우 접합 계면에 취성이 강한 금속간화합물 및 TiC 탄화물이 발생하여 계면접합강도를 저하시키는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 티타늄과 강판 사이에 니켈 박판을 삽입한 후 1223-1323K 온도구간에서 접합 실험하였다. 특히, 온도의 변화에 따라 티타늄과 강판의 계면에 발생되는 금속간화합물의 종류 및 반응층의 크기 변화에 따른 기계적 특성을 조사하였다.

In this work, the zeolite/diglycidylether of bisphenol A(DGEBA) systems were investigated in terms of the cure kinetics and mechanical interfacial properties of the composites. The 4, 4-diamino diphenyl methane(DDM) was used as a curing agent for epoxy. Two types of zeolite(PZ) were prepared with 15 and 35 wt% KOH treatments(15-BZ and 35-BZ, respectively) for 24 h, and their surface characteristics were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Cure kinetics of the composites were examined in the context of differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), and mechanical interfacial properties were investigated in critical stress intensity factor($K_{IC}$) and critical strain energy release rate($G_{IC}$). In the results of XPS and XRD, sodium ion(Na) of zeolite was exchanged for potassium ion(K), resulting from the treatment of KOH. Also, $Si_{2p}/Al{2p}$ composition ratios of the treated zeolite were increased, which could be attributed to the weakening of Al-O bond in framework. Cure activation energy($E_a$) of 15-BZ composites was decreased, whereas KIC and $G_{IC}$ were increased, compared with those of the pure zeolite/DGEBA composites. It was probably accounted that the acidity of zeolite was increased by surface treatments and the cure reaction between zeolite and epoxy was influenced on the increased acidity of zeolite.

In this work, the effects of electrochemical oxidation of carbon fiber surfaces on mechanical interfacial properties of carbon fibers-reinforced polarized-polypropylene matrix composites were studied with various current densities during the treatments. Surface properties of the fibers before and after treatments were observed by SEM, AFM, XPS, and contact angle measurements. Mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were measured in terms of critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$). From the results it was found that $O_{1s}$ peaks of the fiber surfaces were strengthened after electrochemical oxidation which led to the enhancement of surface free energy of the fiber, resulting in good mechanical performance of the composites. It can be concluded that electrochemical oxidation of the carbon fiber surfaces can control the interfacial adhesion between the carbon fibers and polarized-polypropylene in this composites system.

In this study, the transverse mechanical properties of the unidirectional fiber reinforced composite modeled with fiber, matrix, and interphase is predicted with the representative volume elements and is calibrated by adjusting the properties and thickness of the interphase by referring to the test results. While the conventional representative volume elements modeled with fiber and matrix shows high predictive accuracy for the longitudinal mechanical properties, but it shows some deviations in the transverse mechanical properties. In order to compensate such gaps, the interphase region is employed, and its mechanical properties are adjusted to improve the prediction accuracy according to various elastic modulus, thickness, and strength parameters. As a result, the deviation of the transverse elastic modulus and strength is reduced significantly similar to the test results of the unidirectional composites with the accuracy of the longitudinal mechanical properties preserved.

본 연구에서 matrix간의 계면 결합력을 불리하게 작용하는 Wax성분이나 Lignin, Hemi-Cellulose등의 제거를 위해 화학적 개질방법중인 NaOH, Acetic acid, Silane으로 처리하여 기질 고분자의 계면의 영향을 알아보고 SEM을 이용하여 형태학적 변화와 열적특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 형태학적 변화에서는 NaOH, Acetic acid 처리보다 Silane처리가 계면결합력이 증가하여 기계적 물성이 증가되었다는 것을 볼수 있었고, 열분석에서는 NaOH, Acetic acid, Silanec 처리가 유사하게 나타났지만, 복합재를 전처리하지 않은것보다 기질고분자와 천연섬유간의 계면 결합은 전처리하는 것이 결합에 있어서 좋다는 결과를 확인하였다.

난류상태로 유동중인 고분자 수용액은 순수 용매만의 경우에 비교할 때 동일유량에서 초기에 높은 마찰 저항감소효과를 보이며, 이러한 마찰저항감소효과는 펌프의 펌핑능력 증대로 큰 경제적 이익을 가져다준다. 그러나, 고분자 수용액은 그 극적인 마찰저항감소효과에도 불구하고 유동중에 가해지는 기계적 에너지, 열에너지 등에 의해서 초기의 높은 마찰저항감소효과를 점차적으로 상실하게 되기 때문에, 고분자 수용액의 퇴화를 완화시키기위한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기계적 퇴화특성이 비교적 강한 합성고분자와 계면활성제의 농도합계를 100wpm 으로 고정하고 비율을 11가지로 세분화하여 , 1$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 유속 1.5m/sec , 3.0m/sec 및 4.5m/sec 에 대한 퇴화경향을 알아보는 실험을 수행하였으며, 각 조건에서 합성고분자와 계면활성제의 적정비율을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 각 속도에서 시간에 따른 퇴화경향은 고속에서 기계적 에너지에 대한 퇴화를 볼 수 있었고, 계면활성제와 합성고분자를 혼합하여 첨가했을 경우 저온에서도 퇴화완화효과가 있음을 확인하였다.
