  • 자동차 차체부품에 적용되는 플라스틱 소재는 강도와 내마모성, 내충격성의 충분한 물성확보가 필요하며, 이에 플라스틱 소재의 기계적 특성 향상을 위해 유리 섬유가 다량 함유된 복합소재적용이 증가하고 있다. 반면 플라스틱이 고강도화함에 따라 제품 성형을 위한 사출 금형을 손상시키는 사례가 빈번하게 발생하고, 소재의 유동성 저하에 따른 사출 불량이 증가하고 있어 고강성 플라스틱 복합소재에 대응하는 고경도, 고내마모 특성이 부여된 사출 금형의 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 특히 사출 금형에 사용되는 소재는 기존 소재에 비해 우수한 내마모성과 함께 고광택을 유지하는 것이 더욱 중요해졌으며, 이에 따라 유럽, 일본과 국내 연구진에 의해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 일본에서 개발되어 국내에도 소개된 래디칼 질화는 기존 질화법에 표면의 화합물 층만을 제어하는 것으로 다소의 표면 광택 효과는 있으나, 플라스틱 사출에 그대로 적용하기에는 무리가 따르므로 그 용도가 극히 제한적이다. 본 연구에서 적용한 나노 질화기술은 0.1torr 이하의 고진공에서 고밀도의 플라즈마 에너지를 발생시키는 방법으로 화합물층이 없는 나노 크기의 질화층을 소재 표면에 형성시키는 기술로서, 처리 후에도 표면의 색상 및 광택의 변화가 없는 것을 특징으로 한다. 또한 표면 경도 및 피로 특성을 향상시킴으로써 금형의 내구 수명을 향상시킬 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 KP4 금형 소재를 사용하여 플라즈마 이온 질화 시험 조건에 따른 소재의 경도 및 내마모 특성을 파악하고, 미세 조직 분석 및 XRD 분석 등을 통해 내마모 특성 향상에 대한 기본 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 인장시험을 통해 인장강도, 항복강도 및 연신율을 파악하고, 이를 토대로 고주기 피로시험을 실시함으로써 S-N curve를 얻고, 이를 통해 피로 강도 및 피로 수명에 미치는 나노 질화 처리의 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 플라즈마 이온 질화 시험은 질소와 수소 비율($N_2:H_2$), 진공도, Screen bias voltage, Bias voltage를 변화시켰으며, 챔버 온도는 $400^{\circ}C$로 고정하였으며, 처리시간도 3시간으로 고정하였다. 질소와 수소의 비율은 3:1일 때 최고의 내마모 특성을 보였으며, 진공도는 내마모 특성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. KP4의 초기 경도값은 약 302 Hv인 반면 최적의 나노 질화처리를 거친 시편에서는 800Hv 이상의 Vickers 경도값을 보였다. SEM 미세조직 분석과 EPMA를 통한 성분 분석을 시행한 결과 표층으로부터 약 $1.5{\mu}m$의 나노질화층을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Organic/inorganic composite electrolyte membranes were prepared for dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)s with various molecular weight (600, 1,500, 2,000 and 3,400) were ethoxysilated to fabricate organic/inorganic composite materials through sol-gel processes. The electrolyte membranes were produced by doping the composite materials with KI and $I_2$, and their ionic conducting behaviors were investigated. The ionic conductivity of the composite membrane was highly affected by PEG molecular weight. The highest conductivity was shown by the composite membrane prepared with PEG with the molecular weight of 2,000. The composite electrolyte membranes showed considerable improvement of ionic conductivity. Compared to PEO electrolyte membranes, the composite electrolyte membrane by PEG, MW 2,000 showed much higher ionic conductivity.

  • Graphite particle/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite particles were mixed with an epoxy resin to impart the electrical conductivity in the composite materials. In this study, graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites with high filler loadings were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. Graphite particles were the main filler to increase the electrical conductivity of composites by direct contact between graphite particles. While high filler loadings are needed to attain good electrical conductivity, the composites becomes brittle. So carbon fiber was added to compensate weakened mechanical property. With increasing the carbon fiber loading ratio, the electrical conductivity gradually decreased because non-conducting regions were generated in the carbon fiber cluster among carbon fibers, while the flexural strength increased. In the case of carbon fiber 20wt.% of the total system, the electrical conductivity decreased 27%, whereas the flexural strength increased 12%.

  • Glass fiber reinforced polyester (GFRP) composites are widely used as structural materials in harsh environment such as underground pipes, tanks and boat hulls, which requires long-term water resistance. Especially, these materials might be damaged due to delamination between gelcoat and composites through an osmotic process when they are immersed in water. In this study, GFRP laminates were prepared by surface treatment of UPE (unsaturated polyester) gelcoat by vacuum infusion process to improve the durability of composite materials used in underground pipes. The composite surface coated with gelcoat was examined for surface defects, cracking, and hardness change characteristics in water-immersion environments (different temperatures of $60^{\circ}C$, $75^{\circ}C$, and $85^{\circ}C$). The penetration depth of cracks was investigated by micro CT imaging according to water immersion temperature. It was confirmed that cracks developed into the composites material at $75^{\circ}C$ and $85^{\circ}C$ causing loss of durability of the materials. The point at which the initial crack initiated was defined as the failure time and the life expectancy at $23^{\circ}C$ was measured using the Arrhenius equation. The results from this study is expected to be applied to reliability evaluation of various industrial fields where gelcoat is applied such as civil engineering, construction, and marine industry.

  • In this study, silicon/carbon nanotube/carbon (Si/CNT/C) composites for anode were prepared to improve the volume expansion of silicon used as a high-capacity anode material. Si/CNT were prepared by electrostatic attraction of the positively charged Si and negatively charged CNT and then hydrothermal synthesis was performed to obtain the spherical Si/CNT/C composites. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) were used as binders for electrode preparation, and coin cell was assembled using 1.0 M LiPF6 (EC:DMC:EMC = 1:1:1 vol%) electrolyte and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive. The physical properties of Si/CNT/C anode materials were analyzed using SEM, EDS, XRD and TGA, and the electrochemical performances of lithium-ion batteries were investigated by charge-discharge cycle, rate performance, dQ/dV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. Also, it was confirmed that both capacity and rate performance were significantly improved using the PAA/SBR binder and 10 wt% FEC-added electrolyte. It is found that Si/CNT/C have the reversible capacity of 914 mAh/g, the capacity retention ratio of 83% during 50 cycles and the rate performance of 70% in 2 C/0.1 C.

  • In this study, to improve capacity and cycle stability, the pitch coated nano silicon sheets/CNT composites were prepared through electrostatic bonding of nano silicon sheets and CNT. Silica sheets were synthesized by hydrolyzing TEOS on the crystal planes of NaCl, and then nano silicon sheets were prepared by using magnesiothermic reduction method. To fabricate the nano silicon sheets/CNT composites, the negatively charged CNT after the acid treatment was used to assemble the positively charged nano silicon sheets modified with APTES. THF as a solvent was used in the coating process of PFO pitch. The physical properties of the prepared anode composites were analysed by FE-SEM, XRD and EDS. The electrochemical performances of the synthesized anode composites were performed by current charge/discharge, rate performances, differential capacity and EIS tests in the electrolyte LiPF6 dissolve solvent (EC:DMC:EMC = 1:1:1 vol%). It was found that the anode material with high capacity and stability could be synthesized when high composition of silicon and conductivity of CNT were used. The pitch coated nano silicon sheets/CNT anode composites showed initial discharge capacity of 2344.9 mAh/g and the capacity retention ratio of 81% after 50 cycles. The electrochemical property of pitch coated anode material was more improved than that of the nano silicon sheets/CNT composites.

  • There are the plastic resin, fiber and the single metal among materials. There is also the inhomogeneous material whose durability is improved as the composite material with the property of light weight. This study notices the composite material with light weight of CFRP. The strength properties of stainless steel and aluminum which have been used generally are compared and analyzed each other with CFRP. The compact tension specimen of the same standard by each material were designed and the simulation tensile analyses were carried out. As the study result, the maximum deformation, maximum stress and maxium strain energy are shown to be about 0.0148mm, 59.104MPa and 0.00529mJ respectively in case of CFRP specimen model. The maximum deformation, maximum stress and maxium strain energy were shown to be about 0.0106mm, 42.22MPa and 0.002699mJ respectively at stainless steel. It could be checked that the maximum deformation, maximum stress and maxium strain energy of aluminum specimen model were shown to be about 0.023mm, 33.29MPa and 0.00464mJ respectively at stainless steel. Therefore, the results at this study are thought to be applied with the basic data on the strength property of CFRP composite material.
