High density polyethylene (HDPE)/kenaf fiber (KF) composites included two types of KF with different lengths were fabricated by using a twin screw extruder. A thermally expandable microcapsule (EMC) was used to form HDPE/KF. The KF lengths were 0.3 mm and 3 mm. The contents of KF and EMC were fixed at 20 wt% and 5 wt%, respectively. From FT-IR data of KF, which underwent chemical treatment, peaks around 1700 and $1300cm^{-1}$ decreased. This might be caused by the reduction of lignin and hemicellulose due to the chemical treatment of KF. Based on the specific gravity, thermal stability and tensile property, physical properties of the composites with a 3 mm fiber were good. However, if the fiber is longer, poor appearance might be caused due to the thermal degradation during processing. Thus, the adequate length of KF should be chosen to maintain the appearance and physical properties for industrial applications of HDPE/KF/EMC composites. The tensile strength for 0.3 mm fiber treated with chemicals increased slightly.

The results of an experimental study on the manufacture and the mechanical properties of steel fiber reinforced polyester resin composites utilizing industrial waste products(fly ash) are presented in this paper. The composites using steel fiber, fly ash, unsaturated polyester resin, styrene monomer, catalyst (cobalt octate) and accelerator(methyl ethyl ketone peroxide), fine and coarse aggreates were prepared using various mixing conditions. As the test results show. the mechanical and physical properties, such as the compressive, tensile and flexural strengths, and the setting shrinkage of fly ash$\cdot$polyester resin composites were improved considerably by increasing the fly ash-binder ratio. And the workability of steel fiber reinforced fly ash$\cdot$polyester resin composites was reduced with increasing the fly ash-binder ratio and steel fiber content. Also, the compressive, flexural strength and toughness of the composites were remarkably increased by increasing steel fiber content.

The high-density fiber composite manufacturing method by the extrusion molding method has the characteristic that continuous production is possible, and the product is molded through a mold forming a specific cross-section. OPC is used as a defect material, an appropriate amount of SiO₂ is supplied for CaO reaction activity, and high density and high strength are expressed through steam and autoclave curing. However, due to the use of organic reinforcing fibers, the flame duration exceeds the regulations during the non-combustible performance test, making it difficult to secure performance. In this study, the product was produced by mixing alkali-resistant organic fiber and fly ash having voids as a binder by replacing the existing polypropylene fiber. appeared to be possible.

$V_2O_5$ nanowire / polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer composite fibers were fabricated by a new simple method. The reaction of PVA and acetone facilitates the formation of the polymer membrane which can be used to make the fiber. Composite fiber is percolative in the conductance because of the low percolation threshold in $V_2O_5$ nanowire networks. The fiber composite can be applied to the electromagnetic shielding originating from the conductive nature.

The effect of composite reinforcing bars on surface electrical resistivity of concrete was investigated through experimental program. The resistivity was measured by Wenner method using an equipment with 4 probe. Ordinary steel, GFRP, and CFRP reinforcing bars produced domestically were used and a specimen with no reinforcement was tested for the comparison. This investigation is motivated from the fact that measured value of resistivity of concrete is significantly affected by details of steel reinforcements, such as location, depth and direction of the internal steel reinforcement. These results could be valuable data for evaluation of corrosion degree of concrete structures reinforced or strengthened by the composite reinforcing bars.

[ $SiC_f/SiC$ ] 복합체는 고온에서 우수한 특성을 지니므로 고온 구조용 재료로 적용 가능성이 증대되고 있다. 우수한 SiC 섬유의 개발과 함께 복합체를 제조하는 공정의 기술적인 진보도 이루어졌지만 경제성 측면에서는 아직도 일반산업에 널리 이용되기에는 제약이 있다. 그러나 효율성과 안정성을 증진시키기 위하여 시스템의 운전조건이 고온의 극한환경까지도 고려되는 현 상황에서 $SiC_f/SiC$ 복합체의 중요성은 증대되고 있다. 향후 경제성이 향상된 공정개발, 고온 물성 및 성능 자료의 확보, 시스템 및 재료 설계를 위한 코드와 모델 개발 등이 진행되면, 가까운 미래에 에너지 산업, 항공 우주산업 등을 시작으로 그 적용 영역이 확대될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

고분자 블렌드의 열역학적 상용성은 고분자 혼합물의 혼합 엔트로피가 무시할 수 있을 정도로 작기 때문에 성분 고분자 사이의 강한 분자간 인력에 의한 음의 값의 혼합 엔탈피에 의해서 유도되어진다. 상용성 고분자 블렌드를 얻기 위하여 도입되어질 수 있는 분자간 상호인력으로는 수소결합$^1$, 쌍극자-쌍극자 상호작용$^2$, 이온-쌍극자 상호작용$^3$, 산-염기 상호작용$^4$, 전이금속 복합체 형성$^{5}$ , 전하이동 복합체 형성$^{6}$ 등이다.(중략)

전기 전도성 고분자는 전하 이동체의 종류에 따라 이온과 전자 전도성 고분자로 구분되며 전자 전도성 고분자는 절연체인 고분자에 전도체를 혼합하는 전도성복합체와 본질적으로 전도성을 갖는 고분자로 나뉘어진다. 전도성복합체는 제법이 간단하여 이미 전기ㆍ전자산업에 많이 이용되고 있지만 일정한 전도도의 유지와 가공성 향상 및 염가의 제품 제조는 아직 과제로 남아있다.(중략)

Nanocomposites of three different polyesters with dodecyltriphenylphosphonium-montmorillonite $(C_{12}PPh-MMT)$ as an organoclay are compared with their thermal properties, mechanical properties, and morphologies. Poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) were used as matrix polymers in the fabrication of polyester nanocomposite fibers. The variations of their properties with organoclay content in the polymer matrix and draw ratio (DR) are discussed. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs show that some of the clay layers are dispersed homogeneously within the polymer matrix on the nano-scale, although some clay particles are agglomerated. We also found that the addition of only a small amount of organoclay is enough to improve the thermal stabilities and mechanical properties of the polyester nanocomposite fibers. Even polymers with low organoclay contents $(<5\;wt\%)$ were found to exhibit much higher strength and modulus values than pure polyester fibers. In the cases of all polyester hybrid fibers, the values of the tensile mechanical properties were found to decrease linearly with increasing DR. However, the initial tensile modulus of the PTT hybrid fibers were found to be independent of DR.
