When the halogenated flame retardant, decabromodiphenyl oxide, was added to the polypropylene/nylon blend, and was compounded with montmorillonite and compatibilizer, maleic anhydride polypropylene, the improvement of flame retardancy and mechanical properties was investigated. The degree of dispersion between polymer resin and inorganic nanoparticles was investigated, and the flame retardancy and mechanical properties was measured quantitatively. XRD results showed that the montrnorillonite was com-pletely exfoliated after polypropylen/nylon nanocomposites was mixed above twice. By compounding with montmorillonite, polypropylene/nylon blend system was overcome the deterioration of flame retardancy. The tensile strength and impact strength were slightly increased, and by compounding with montmorillonite, the additional increase in mechanical properties was obtained. Therefore, the flame retardancy of polypropylene / nylon blend was decreased by adding nylon, but by compounding with inorganic nanoparticle, improvement of the flame retardancy and mechanical properties was obtained.

SiC$_{p}$/AI 합금 복합재료에 있어서 동적 및 정적파괴인성시험을 실시하고 파괴거동에 미치는 부하조건의 영향을 검토하였다. 동적파괴인성시험은 CAI시스템을 이용하여 1.5m/sec의 부하속도로 실시하였고, 정적파괴인성시험은 만능시험기를 이용하여 0.3 mm/min의 부하속도로 실시하였다. 또한 파괴과정을 명확히 해석하기 위하여 동적부하조건에 대해서는 stop block법을, 정적부하조건에 대해서는 복수시험편법을 이용하였다. 균열의 발생 및 성장은 부하조건에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 변위량에 대한 균열의 발생은 정적부하조건에서 더 빨리 일어나고, 균열의 성장은 동적부하조건에서 더 급격하다. 또한 부하조건은 파괴의 형태에도 크게 영향을 미치며, 동적부하조건하에서는 정적부하조건하에 비하여 균열이 입자부분(입자의 파단 또는 박리)을통과해 가는 경향이 크고 비교적 많은 편향을 반복해서 진행해 가지 때문에 파괴인성치도 크다.다.

In this study, to improve the thermal stabilities of the epoxy composite specimens in addition to the enhanced mechanical properties, those were reinforced with carbon nanotubes and micrometer-sized silica particles. To disperse the filler in matrix relatively simple physical process, specimens were fabricated using shear mixing and sonication. Tensile strength, coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of the specimens were measured with varied contents of the two fillers. The mechanical and thermal properties were also discussed, and the experimental results of thermal expansion related to the thermal stability of the specimens were compared with those from several micromechanics models. The hybrid composites specimens incorporating 0.6 wt％ of carbon nanotubes and 50 wt％ of silica particles showed better mechanical properties than the others with increase in tensile strength up to 11％, with respect to those of the baseline specimens. As the silica contents were increased the thermal expansion was reduced down to 36%, and the thermal stability was improved with the decreased thermal deformation. Thermal conductivity of the epoxy composite specimens incorporating 50 wt％ of silica particles was enhanced, which demonstrate improvement of 72%. The mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrid composites specimens incorporating the two fillers were improved simultaneously.

일반적으로, 고분자 매트릭스에 층상 점토광물이 분산되어 얻어지는 복합재료는 세가지 형태를 이룬다. 첫째 통상의 복합재료는 고분자 매트릭스 내에 점토입자가 고루게 분산된 상태를 말하며, 둘째 점토 층 사이에 고분자 모노머나 올리고머가 일부분 삽입된 삽입형 복합재료(intercalated composite)이며, 셋째 점토 층 사이에 삽입된 모노머나 올리고머의 경화 또는 중합반응을 통해 점토내의 한층 한층 균일하게 매트릭스 내에 분산된 박리형 나노복합소재(exfoliated nanocomposite) 이다. 이들 복합재료들 중 박리형 나노복합소재는 적은 양의 점토가 단위 층으로 고분자 매트릭스에 완전히 분산되어 다양한 물성의 향상이 기대되는 재료이다. 따라서 최근 고분자의 기계적 강도, 팽윤 저항성 그리고 차폐특성 둥 전반적인 물성을 향상시키는 방법으로 층상 점토광물의 층 사이에 다양한 유기물을 삽입하여 층간거리를 확장시킨 유기 점토광물을 제조하고 이를 고분자 소재에 첨가하여 박리형 나노복합소재를 제조하는 방법이 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다.

In this paper, we developed a theoretical model which is able to predict the tensile strength and elastic modulus of hybrid composites reinforced by two types of randomly distributed discontinuous reinforcements. For this, we considered two known models; One is a prediction model based on the assumption that the composite is reinforced by two types of well aligned continuous reinforcements. The other is a statistical model for the composite which is reinforced by only one type of randomly distributed discontinuous reinforcements. In order to evaluate the validity of accuracy of our prediction model, we measured the strength and elastic modulus of polypropylene hybrid composite reinforced by talc and short glass fiber. We found that the present model drastically enhances the accuracy of strength prediction compared to an existing model, and predicts the elastic modulus within the same order with experimentally measured values.

The effect of surface treatments with the atmospheric pressure flame plasma (APFP) and epoxy silane (ES) is experimentally investigated to yield the best mechanical properties of silica ($V_f=40%$) reinforced elastomeric composites. The tensile strength of the composites is increased significantly with decrease the mean diameter. When the diameter is $2.2{\mu}m$, that of the composite is increased about 1.4 times compared to the matrix (2.52 MPa). Also, the tensile strength of silica reinforced composites with APFP and ES treated is increased 8.8~13.3%, 9.9~12.5%, respectively. When the diameter is $26.6{\mu}m$, the tensile modulus of the composite is increased about 2 times compared to the matrix (0.88MPa), and the tensile modulus of silica reinforced composites with APFP and ES treated is increased 15.6~22.8%, 21.1~5.8%, respectively. Conventional silane coupling agent treatment have a few disadvantages because of using organic solvents. However APFP treatment is a fast, economic and eco-friendly method to improve the mechanical properties.

일반적으로 고분자 재료는 그 자체로는 전기가 통하지 않는 전기절연체이나 여기에 카본블랙, 카본파이버, 금속분말 등 전도성을 가지는 입자들을 가지고 도핑할 경우 전기가 통하는 반도체 특성을 지니는 재료로 변화를 한다. 특히, 전기ㆍ전자재료 분야에서 이러한 특성을 이용한 재료 중 하나인 PTC 소자는 나노 크기를 가지는 카본 블랙과 고분자 재료의 복합화를 바탕으로 하여 과전류에 의한 발열의 감지 및 전류를 차단함으로서 회로를 보호하는 소자를 말하는 것으로서 현재 그 수요량이 급격히 증대하고 있는 기능성 재료중 하나이다. (중략)

Carbon particle based nanocomposites have been studied. Nanocomposites containing CNT and graphite particles were manipulated by aligning the micro/nano-size particles with electric field. Electric field is applied to the suspension of epoxy matrix and particulate inclusions in order to align them along the direction of the electric field. Particles aligned in a uniform direction act as a fiber in a CFRP composite. The mechanical strength and physical characteristics highly depend on particles' distribution pattern and amount. In this study, the characteristics of radioactive barrier are emphasized, which has been rarely discussed in the literature. A number of sample coupons were tested to verify their performance. The procedure of manufacturing nanocomposites by means of extremely small size particle alignment is presented in sequence. Several physical and structural performances of composites containing aligned and randomly distributed particles were compared. The results show particle alignment is very effective to enhance directional strength and radioactive barrier performance.
