Carbon fiber(CF) with excellent thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity is attracting attention as an alternative material because metal heating elements have problems such as high heat loss and fire risk. However, since CF is oxidized and disconnected at about 200℃ or higher, the application of heating elements is limited, and CF heating elements in the form of vacuum tubes are currently used in some commercial heaters. In this work, polyimide(PI) with high heat resistance was coated on the surface of carbon fiber by electrophoretic deposition to prevent oxidation of CF in the atmosphere without using a vacuum tube, and the coating thickness and heat resistance were investigated according to the applied voltage. The heater made by connecting the PI-coated CF heating elements in series showed stable heating characteristics up to 292℃, which was similar to the heating temperature result of the heat transfer simulation. The PI layer coated by the electrophoretic deposition method is effective in preventing oxidation of CF at 200℃ or higher and is expected to be applicable to various heating components such as secondary batteries, aerospace, and electric vehicles that require heat stability.

타이타늄은 밸브 메탈의 일종으로, 다양한 전해질 조건에서 양극산화되어 이산화 타이타늄($TiO_2$)을 형성한다. 이산화 타이타늄은 저렴한 가격, 풍부함, 무독성, 높은 안정성 등 다양한 장점을 지닌다. 또한 리튬 이온의 삽입/탈리 이후에도 구조적인 변화가 적은 성질과 비교적 높은 방전 전압(1.0-2.5 V vs Li/Li+)으로 인해 그래파이트를 대체할 리튬이온 전지의 전극재료로써 연구되어 왔다. 하지만 낮은 이온 및 전기 전도도로 인해 다양한 분야에서의 활용에 한계가 있어왔다. 이러한 한계 극복을 위해, 이산화 타이타늄에 전도성이 높은 탄소 계열의 물질을 코팅하는 방법이 고려되었다. 그래핀 산화물은 강한 산을 이용하여 그래파이트를 산화시킨 물질로, 많은 산소작용기를 함유하고 있어 탄소 고유의 전기전도성을 갖지 못한다. 환원 그래핀 산화물(reduced graphene oxide)는 빛, 열, 화학 작용울 통해 그래핀 옥사이드를 환원시켜 산소작용기를 없앤 물질로, 환원과정에서 전기전도성을 회복한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이산화 타이타늄에 환원 그래핀 산화물(reduced graphene oxide)를 코팅하여 전기 전도도를 향상시키고. 이에 대한 활용 분야를 연구하고자 하였다.

Anisotropic pitch-based C-type and hollow carbon fibers can obtain wider shear stresses during the spinning and induce higher molecular orientation than that of round along the fiber axis. These fibers reinforced unidirectional epoxy composites were prepared by hot-press moulding method and perpendicular and parallel thermal conductivities of the composites were measured by a steady-state meth od. In the case of round carbon fibers reinforced epoxy composites(H-CF/EP), thermal anisotropic factor showed nearly 50, while those of H-CF/EP and C-CF/EP showed about 130 and 118, respectively. As a result, both H-CF/EP and C-CF/EP had an excellent directional thermal conductivity to distribute heat, above 200 %.

In order to predict the thermoelastic behavior of porous composites, poroelastic parameters are measured by using micromechanics-based finite element models. The expanding deformation caused by pore pressure, and the degradation of homogenized elastic moduli with pores are calculated for the assessment of the poroelastic parameters. Various representative volume elements considering the shape, size, and array pattern of pores are modeled and analyzed by a finite element method. The effects of porosity and material anisotropy, and the distribution of stain energy density are investigated carefully. In addition, the measured poroelastic parameters are verified by predicting the thermo-pore-elastic behavior of carbon/phenolic composites.

핵융합장치 내부의 플라즈마 대면재료는 고온의 플라즈마와 직접 대면하므로 수 십 MW/$m^2$에 이르는 큰 열부하에 따른 재료의 물성변화, 즉 고온환경에 따른 재료의 팽윤, 크리프(creep) 변형 그리고 금속이 가역성이나 연성을 잃는 취화현상 등이 중요한 연구주제이다. 고열부하의 인가를 통한 핵융합대면재료의 물성실험은 현재 국내에서는 탄소히터, 열플라즈마 등을 이용하여 이루어지고 있으며 국외에서는 짧은 시간에 큰 열부하를 인가할 수 있는 고출력 전자빔장치가 주요한 열부하실험장치로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기초적인 실험이 가능한 고열부하용 전자빔조사장치를 제작하여 대표적인 플라즈마 대면재료인 텅스텐에 60 keV, 30 mA의 전자빔을 조사한 후 고열부하에 따른 텅스텐의 물성변화를 측정하였다.

Silicon/carbon composites as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were examined to find the cycle performance and capacity. Silicon/carbon composites were prepared by a two-step method, including the magnesiothermic reduction of SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous material No. 15) and carbonization of phenol resin. The electrochemical behaviors of lithium ion batteries were characterized by charge/discharge, cycle, cyclic voltammetry and impedance tests. The improved electrochemical performance attributed to the fact that silicon/carbon composites suppress the volume expansion of the silicon particles and enhance the conductivity of silicon/carbon composites (30 ohm) compared to that of using the pure silicon (235 ohm). The anode electrode of silicon/carbon composites showed the high capacity approaching 1,348 mAh/g and the capacity retention ratio of 76% after 50 cycles.

By using shear mixing and ultrasonication, we fabricated specimens of well-dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotube composites. To confirm the proper dispersion of the filler, we used scanning electron microscopy images for quantitative evaluation and a tensile test for qualitative assessment. Furthermore, the coefficients of thermal expansion of several specimens having different filler contents were calculated from the measured thermal strains and temperatures of the specimens. Based on the microscopy images of the well-dispersed fillers and the small deviations in the measurements of the tensile strength and stiffness, we confirmed the proper dispersion of nanotubes in the epoxy. As the filler contents were increased, the values of tensile strength increased from 58.33 to 68.81 MPa, and those of stiffness increased from 2.93 to 3.27 GPa. At the same time, the coefficients of thermal expansion decreased. This implies better thermal stability of the specimen.

In this study, a thin-film thermo-electrochemical cell that directly converts waste thermal energy into electrical energy was fabricated. Electrical conductivity of conducting carbon fiber, which was used as flexible electrode, was increased through coating of carbon nanotube, and resistance of the CNT-coated fiber electrode was not changed even after bending test with various curvatures. Maximum output power of the thermocell was increased quadratically with the temperature difference, and showed a value of about 2.5 mW/kg at temperature difference of $3.4^{\circ}C$. As a result of discharge test for 12 hours, it is confirmed that the cell can operates continuously. And thin-film thermocell wrapped around a pipe with hot liquid flowing within was demonstrated. Internal resistance of the cell was decreased with various curvature of heat pipe, and maximum output power was increased by 30 %. Therefore, the cell can be applied to various heat source.

Cellulose-based carbon fabrics are used in aerospace nozzles have low thermal conductivity and high ablation resistance. However, there is a disadvantage in that the weight is reduced by 70~90% in the pyrolysis process and graphitization process and the residual rate is low when the final carbon fabric is produced. In this study, phosphoric acid as a phosphorus flame retardant and Citric acid as a cross-linking agent were treated on the lyocell fabrics. After that the functional groups were identified and thermal properties were confirmed by FT-IR, XRD and TGA. The yields of the final carbon fabrics were also compared through the pyrolysis and graphitization process. The graphitized yield increased to 8.1% with increasing citric acid to 16 wt% added.

Constitutive relation of thermoelasto-plastic material undergoing phase transformation during quenching process were developed on the basic of continuum thermodynamics. The metallic structure, temperature and residual stresses distributions were numerically calculated by the finite element technique. The metallic structure were defined by transformation from austenite to pearlite and characterized as a fuction of thermal history and mixture rule of phase. On the distribution of thermal stress along the radial direction, axial and tangential stresses are compressive in the surface, and tential in the inner part. Radial stress is tensile in the whole body. The reversion of residual stress takes plase at 11.5~15.5mm from the center.
