In order to improve the interfacial bonding force and reaction polymerization degree of the carbon fiber reinforced nylon 6 composite material, the surface of the existing epoxy-sizing carbon fiber was desized to remove the epoxy and treated with urethane, nylon and phenoxy sizing agent, was observed. The interfacial bond strength of the resized carbon fiber was confirmed by IFSS (Interfacial Shear Strength) and the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the interfacial bonding strength of the carbon fiber treated with nylon and phenoxy sizing agents was higher than that of urethane - based sizing. It has been found that the urethane - type resizing carbon fiber has lower interfacial bonding strength than the conventional epoxy - sizing carbon fiber. This result shows that the interfacial bonding between carbon fiber and nylon 6 is improved by removing low activity and smoothness of existing carbon fiber.

제지분야에서 중성 사이즈제로 광범위하게 사용되어지는 AKD emulsion의 사이징 효과의 발현속도가 낮은 단점을 보완하기 위하여, 기존 AKD emulsion에 추가 투입 사용함으로써 발현속도를 높여줄 수 있는 AKD 급속 반응형 정착제, 그리고 정착제를 사용하지 않는 초지 시스템에서도 급속 경화가 가능한 급속 반응형 AKD emulsion을 개발 하였다. AKD 급속 반응형 정착제의 투입량 및 종이 건조시간에 따른 사이징 효과를 상용화된 정착제와 비교하였으며 이 결과로부터 보다 빠른 사이징 효과발현을 확인하였다. 정착제를 사용하지 않는 시스템에서 급속반응형 AKD emulsion의 사이즈도 급속발현 효과를 확인하기 위하여 상용화된 emulsion과 사용량에 따른 사이징 효과와 건조시간에 따른 사이징효과를 비교함으로서 사이즈도의 급속 발현을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The effects of sizing agent on the final mechanical properties of the glass fiber/unsaturated polyester composites were investigated by contact angle measurements at room temperature. In this work, glass fibers were coated by poly(vinyl alcohol), polyester, and epoxy type sizing agent and each property was compared. Contact angles of the sized glass fiber were measured by the wicking method based on Washburn equation using deionized water and diiodomethane as testing liquids. As an experimental result, the surface free energy calculated from contact angle showed the highest value in case of the glass fiber coated by epoxy sizing agent. From measurements of interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and fracture toughness ( $K_{IC}$ ) of the composites, it was found that the sizing treatment on fibers could improve the fiber/matrix interfacial adhesion, resulting in growing the final mechanical properties. This was due to the enhanced surface free energy of glass fibers in a composite system.

This paper aims to study flow characteristics of epoxy resin w.r.t. the sizing agents treated on the carbon fibers which have the same surface morphologies before sizing treatment. Dynamic contact angle (DCA) was measured to evaluate wettability of a single carbon fiber. Wicking test and Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) were performed to find relation between DCA measurement results and impregnation characteristics. In addition, surface properties of the carbon fibers such as surface free energy and chemical compositions were measured and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between the carbon fiber and the resin were experimentally characterized by using micro-droplet tests. According to these experimental results, the sizing agent for carbon fibers should have appropriate level of surface free energy and good chemical compatibility with the resin to reconcile resin flow characteristics and interfacial strength.

Mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites were affected to fiber volume fractions (FVF) and interfacial property by sizing agent conditions. An optimum interface can relieve stress concentration by transferring the mechanical stress from the matrix resin to the reinforcements effectively, and thus can result in the performance of the composites. The interfacial properties and wettability between the epoxy resin and glass fiber (GF) were evaluated for different sizing agent conditions and FVFs. The surface energies of epoxy resin and different sizing agent treated GFs were calculated using dynamic and static contact angle measurements. The work of adhesion, W_a was calculated by using surface energies of epoxy matrix and GFs. The wettability was evaluated via the GF tow capillary test. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) was evaluated by microdroplet pull-out test. Finally, the optimized GFRP manufacturing conditions could be obtained by using wettability and interfacial property.

Interfacial and mechanical properties of neat and two sizing agents coated glass fiber (GF)/polydicyclopentadiene (p-DCPD) composites were evaluated at room and low temperatures, $25^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$. Sizing agents of GFs were extracted using acetone and compared via FT-IR. Surface energy and work of adhesion between GFs and p-DCPD were calculated by dynamic contact angle measurement. Mechanical properties of different GFs were determined using single fiber tensile test and interfacial properties of single GF reinforced DCPD strip were determined using cyclic loading tensile test. Mechanical properties of GFs/p-DCPD composites at room and low temperatures were determined using tensile, compressive, and Izod impact tests. Interfacial and mechanical properties were different with sizing agents of GFs and the optimized condition of sizing agent was found.

This study presents a column generation approach for multiple product dynamic lot-sizing problem. The basic idea of this approach is to have a master problem which allocates limited capacity among n different products and a sub-problem that performs the optimal lot sizing for each product subject to capacity allocation given by the master problem. In the sub-problem, we develop M/G/1 queuing model based clearing function which captures nonlinear relationship between the lot size, the work in process level and the throughput. A large number of test problems are randomly generated to evaluate the performance. Computational results show that the proposed model can find better solutions within reasonable CPU times.

The sizing treatments of PAN-based carbon fiber surfaces were carried out in order to improve the interfacial adhesion in the carbon fibers/nylon6 composite system. The parameter to characterize the wetting performance and surface free energy of the sized fibers were determined by a contact angle method. The mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were investigated using critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$). The cross-section morphologies of sized CFs/nylon6composites were observed by SEM. As the experimental results, it was observed that silane-based sizing treated carbon fibers showed higher surface free energies than other sizing treatments. In particular, the KIC of the sizing-treated carbon fibers reinforced composites showed higher values than those of untreated carbon fibers-reinforced composites. This result indicated that the increase in the surface free energy of the fibers leads to the improvement of the mechanical interfacial properties of carbon fibers/nylon6 composites.
