Expanded graphite/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the preform molding technique. The conductive fillers were mechanically mixed with a phenol resin to provide an electrical property to composites. The conductive filler loading was fixed at 60wt.% to accomplish a high electrical conductivity. Expanded graphites were excellent in forming a conductive networking by direct contacts between them while it was hard to get the high flexural strength over 40MPa with using only expanded graphite and phenol resin. In this study, carbon fibers were added in composites to compensate the weakened flexural strength. The effect of carbon fibers on the mechanical and electrical properties was examined according to the weight ratio of carbon fiber. As the carbon fiber ratio increased, the flexural strength increased until the carbon fiber ratio of 24wt.%, and then decreased afterward. The electrical conductivity gradually decreased as the increase of the carbon fiber ratio. This was attributed to the non-conducting regions generated among the carbon fibers and the reduction of the direct contact areas between expanded graphites.

Recently, FRB is being used more as reinforcement of RC beam thanks to its material advantages in construction industry. The external attachment reinforcement of FRP is a construction method with advantages such as high strength, stiffness, excellent durability and construction practicability, despite of its weight. However, the reinforcement has a disadvantage to cause damage on permanent structure as its structure is water-tight by low water permeability reinforcement, preventing water from draining outside. The study attempted flexural failure test for GP of which material properties are equally same as the existing FRP and that with permeability, shows good binding with the concrete structure, durable performance and durability, comparably analyzing the improvement of durability and ductility according to changes of fiber contents of composite strip.

The thermal and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced cement-based composite for solar thermal energy storage were investigated in this paper. The effect of the addition of different cement-based materials to Ordinary Portland cement on the thermal and mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced composite was investigated. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength before and after thermal cycling and split tensile strength, and to measure thermal properties including thermal conductivity and specific heat. Test results showed that the residual compressive strength of mixtures with OPC and slag was greatest among cement-based composite. Thermal conductivity of mixtures including graphite was greater than that of any other mixtures, indicating favor of graphite for improving thermal transfer in terms of charging and discharging in thermal energy storage system. The addition of CSA or zirconium increased specific heat of fiber-reinforced cement-based composite. Test results of this study could be actually used for the design of thermal energy storage system in concentrating solar power plants.

Recently, the construction industry commonly uses FRP as a reinforcement material because of its material advantages. FRP attached reinforcement has various advantages such as high strength, stiffness, excellent durability and construction practicability comparing to its weight. However, external attachment of FRP is water-tighted with low water permeable material, not draining water, probably causing damages on a permanent structure. The study manufactured it through pultrusion and examined GP(glass fiber panel) of which material-mechanical properties are almost same as the existing FRP but durability and attachment performance are better by stationary experiments, testing load-deflection curve, destruction types and load-deflection relation under repetitive loading test. As a result of 2,000,000 fatigue tests, it did not result in the destruction and showed excellent permanent attachment and durability as it displays significantly low compressive strain of concrete.

Rubber related geosynthetics(GS) as reinforcement and water barrier materials were manufactured by thermal bonding method and examined the their performance for applications to civil and environmental engineering fields. The spunbonded polyester nonwoven, fiber glass mat and fabric type geogrid of a high tenacity polyester filament were used as matrix and polyester film, elastomeric bitumen with SBS polymer and asphalt were used as reinforcements to manufacture the rubber related geosynthetics. A fiber glass mat and geogrid matrix GS showed more excellent mechanical properties and nonwoven and elastomeric bitumen matrix showed the more excellent permittivity. Softening points of rubber and asphalt mixture showed no difference and dimensional stability at high temperature, $120^{\circ}C$, represented no significant shrinkage. Resistance to ultraviolet of rubber related geosynthetics showed no visible alteration.

최근 해상풍력 블레이드가 대형화됨에 따라 보다 가볍고 강한 재료가 요구되고 있다. 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 복합재는 발사우드나 PVC 폼 등을 코어소재로 하고, 유리섬유나 탄소섬유 등을 보강섬유로 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 복합재에 대한 특성을 알아보고, 최근 흡음, 충격 및 열에 강한 발포 알루미늄을 이용한 복합재를 해상풍력 블레이드 제조에 적용하여, 구조 강도 실험을 실시함으로써 기존 복합재와 구조 강도 및 비용 등을 비교 검토하여 우수한 복합재를 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 대형구조물인 블레이드를 제작하기 위해 적절한 크기의 발포 알루미늄을 상호 접합하기 위한 방법을 연구하고자 하며, 목포대학교에서 보유중인 만능재료시험기(100 Ton)를 활용하여 인장, 압축, 굽힘 실험을 실시하고, 스킨재 변화, 코어재의 밀도와 두께 변화를 고려하여 다양한 복합재의 강도를 비교하고자 한다. 또한, 기존에 사용되고 있는 복합재와 발포 알루미늄을 이용한 복합재의 재료비 및 가공비를 추정하고 경제적인 복합재를 제시하고자 한다.

The results of an experimental study on the development and the evaluation of lightweight and high strength composites utilizing by-products and calcium silicates for construction materials are presented in this paper. The composites using early strength portland cement, by-Products( f1y ash, silica fume), silica powder, quick lime, gypsum, A1 powder and fibers(PAN-derived CF, alkali-resistance GF) were prepared using various mixing conditions. As the test results show, PAN-derived CF and alkali-resistance GF were suitable for rein-forcing fiber of the composites. And the mechanical properties,such as compressive tensile flexural strength, and toughness of Lt. Wt. fiber reinforced calcium silicates cement comp-osites were improved by increasing the fly ash and silica fume contents, and fiber contents, especially by increasing fiber contents the toughness of the composites were remarkably in-creased. Also, compressive tensile flexural strength,and toughness of the composites rein-forcing PAN-derived CF were higher than those of the composites reinforcing alkali-resistance GF..

전기절연재의 구조재로 많이 사용되고 있는 FRP(fiber reinforced plastics)는 열경화성 수지를 접착성 결합제(binder)로 하고 고강도 섬유를 보강재로 한 복합재료로서 기계적, 화학적, 전기적 특성이 매우 우수하다. FRP의 기계적 강도는 유리섬유에 의존 하고 있으므로 유리섬유의 방향과 힘을 가하는 방향에 따라서 그 강도의 차이는 매우 크게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 섬유의 배향에 따른 강도의 변화를 이해하기 위하여 시편을 제작하여 압축강도를 측정하고 압축강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법으로 시뮬레이션하였다. FRP rod에 압축응력이 가해졌을 때 섬유의 배향에 따른 파괴강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였고 모델링에는 3-D Shell과 3-D Brick 요소를 사용하였다. 제작된 시편의 강도특성과 시뮬레이션을 통한 응력의 분포를 서로 비교하여 시편의 파괴에 미치는 응력을 고찰하였다.

각종섬유를 연속섬유 보강재로 사용하는 경우, 일반적으로 수지를 매트릭스로 하여 봉재 형상(FRP rod)으로 제조하고있다. 성형된 섬유는 수지가 섬유의 보호재 역할을 하기 때문에, 콘크리트내의 알칼리와 절연되어 열화가능성이 작다고 고려된다. 그러나, 일반적으로 섬유를 둘러싼 수지는 그 두께가 수 {$mu}m$이하로 특히 얇고, 운반이나 보관시에 수지가 물리적 변형 및 자외선에 의한 열화가 일어날 가능성이 높다. 또 알칼리에 의하여 에스테르의 가수분해반응에 따른 폴리머의 부식 등, 수지에 알칼리의 침입을 완전히 막는 것이 불가능하게 여겨진다.
