This paper presents a study on the permittivities of the E-glass fabric/epoxy composite laminates containing carbon black dispersions at microwave frequency. Measurement showed that the complex permittivities of the composites depend strongly on the natures and concentrations of the carbon black dispersion. A new scheme to obtain a mixing law for the estimation of complex permittivity is proposed. The experimental values of the complex permittivities were compared to those calculated. Simultaneously, the complex permittivity of carbon black itself was also calculated by the scheme.

A unique crystallization behavior of poly(L-lactide)(PLLA)/poly(D-lactide)(PDLA) stereocomplex(SC) was observed when a PLLA/PDLA blend was subjected to the specific melting conditions. Therefore, we tried to blend PLLA and PDLA at overall composition to form PLA stereocomplexes. Moreover, impact modifier and reinforcement materials such as talc and glass fiber added to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties such as impact strength and heat distortion temperature(HDT). As a result, we got one representative result, one composite recipe with HDT $115^{\circ}C$. For more economic technology, we tried to blend PLLA and Polypropylene at overall composition and we got another representative result which could be applied to current PP/talc composites and ABS materials. The core technology of this might be the well dispersion of glass fibers into the matrix resin such as PP, PLLA and impact strength modifier.

The continuous fiber reinforced composites of GF/PA were fabricated using a pultrusion resin impregnation apparatus and cut into pellets of 6 mm length. GF/PA pellets were then melt-mixed with PP resin to prepare new types of ternary composites, GF/PA/PP. Mechanical and rheological properties of such composites revealed to be better than conventional ternary composites due to the longer average glass fibers. Measurements also showed that the mechanical properties of the composites prepared by direct injection molding were higher than those of the composites prepared by injection molding followed by extrusion. To improve adhesions of fiber surfaces and polymer matrix, PP-MAH (maleic anhydride) has been introduced in the GF/PA/PP composites as a compatibilizer. It was found that PP-MAH did indeed improve surface adhesion between fibers and polymer matrix and that, as a result, various mechanical properties were markedly enhanced. Visualization of the phase structure in the samples was done by means of SEM. The surfaces of glass fibers in GF/PA/PP composites revealed that the fibers remained to be encapsulated by PA resin. However, pre-encapsulation did not persist in GF/PA/PP/PP-MAH composites due to the improvement of surface adhesion between fibers and polymer matrix, although resin sticking to the fiber was observed.

전면재를 알루미나, 후면재를 Kevlar또는 S-2 유리 섬유강화 복합재료로 접합한 이종재료 장갑에 대하여 알루미나의 두께 변화와 복합재료의 적층구조에 따른 고속충격 특성 변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 시험재료의 동적 관통현상을 분석하기 위하여 고속촬영기법이 이용되었다. 시험결과, 전면재인 알루미나는 충격탄자 직경의 80% 상당하는 두께(본 실험에서는 6nm)인 경우 양호한 방탄성능을 보였다. 후면재인 복합재료는 섬유를 alternating 주조로 적층한 경우가 laminar구조로 적층한 것에 비하여 더 우수한 방탄성능을 나타내었다.

In this work, tensile and in-plane shear tests for thermoplastic glass fiber/polypropylene composites were performed at a thermo-forming temperature and their properties were characterized and mathematically expressed by using the non-orthogonal constitutive model. As for the thermo-forming test, half-dome experiments were carried out by varying the usage of a releasing agent and the weight of holders. As results, the optimum final shape having well-aligned symmetry and no wrinkle formation was obtained when the releasing agent was used, and it was found that the careful control of a holding force is crucial to manufacture the healthy product. Furthermore, FEM simulations based on the non-orthogonal model showed similar final shapes and tendency of wrinkle formation with experimental results, and confirmed that wrinkles increase with less holding force and higher punch force is required under high frictional condition.

The effet of glass fiber and graphite on the wear properies in tin-bronze alloy matrix composites was studied by a pin-on-disk type wear testing machine. The results obtained from the wear test were analized by SEM observations of worn surfaces of pins and disks and EPMA composition measurments. The amount of wear was devreased as increasing the content of glass fiber in matrix, since the alloy matrix was reinforced by glass fibers. The wear mechanism of the matrix specimen without glass fibers was proved as the contact area delamination. Oxide layer formed on sliding surface led to the increasing wear resistance. Specimens containing graphite particles showed an lubrication effect to counter disks.

Recently, the use of buried glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) pipes is widespread and ever increasing trend in the industry. GRP pipes are attractive for use in harsh environments, such as for the collection and transmission of liquids which are abrasive and/or corrosive. The structural behavior of a GRP pipes buried under the ground is different from that of a rigid one made of concrete or clay, for example. A GRP pipe buried under the ground is deflected circumferentially by several percent and the stresses in the pipe are mainly compressive stresses. A GRP pipes has been introduced by a number of manufacturers for selection and used by underground pipeline designers. In all cases, the modified Spangler's equation is recommended by these manufacturers for predicting the ring deflection of these pipes under dead and live loads. In this paper, the ring deflection of buried GRP pipe is evaluated and discussed based on the result of analytical investigation.

In order to evaluate the effect of structural degradation of a GFRP composite bogie frame due to ballast-flying phenomena, the impact test and residual compression test after impact was conducted for glass fiber/epoxy 4-harness satin woven laminate composites applied to skin part of a bogie frame. The impact test was performed using a instrumented impact testing system with energy levels of 5J, 10J, and 20J, and the impactor was designed to have various ballast shapes such as sphere, cube, and cone to consider the ballasted track environments. The residual compression strength was tested to evaluate the degradation of mechanical properties of impact-damaged laminate composites. The results showed that the damage area and the degradation of residual compressive strength after impact for laminate composites was increased with increase of impact energy for all ballast shapes, and was particularly most influenced by ballast shape of cone.

The reliability problems of flip chip packages subjected to temperature change during the packaging process mainly occur due to mismatches in the coefficients of thermal expansion as well as features with time-dependent material properties. Resin molding compounds like glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites used as the dielectric layer in printed circuit boards (PCB) strongly exhibit viscoelastic behavior, which causes their Young's moduli to not only be temperature-dependent but also time-dependent. In this study, the stress relaxation and creep tests were used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of the glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite. Using the viscoelastic properties, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to simulate thermal loading in the pre-baking process and predict thermal warpage. Furthermore, the effect of viscoelastic features for the major polymeric material on the dielectric layer in the PCB (the glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite) was investigated using FEA.
