섬유강화 복합재료(FRC:Fiber Reinforced Composites)는 기존의 금속재료에 비해 높은 비강도, 비강성의 특성으로 인해 자동차, 항공산업 등 폭 넓은 응용 범위에 적용되고 있다. 특히 직물 복합재료(Fibric Composites)는 취급이 용이하고, 유연성이 높기 때문에 복잡한 형상을 가지는 금형에 적용하기가 수월하다. 하지만 아직까지는 금형의 형상에 있어서 제약을 받고 있다. (중략)

Mixed-mode interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fabric/epoxy composites, which are applicable to tilting train carbody, was evaluated through the MMB (Mixed-mode bending) test. Specimens were made of CF3327 plain woven fabric with epoxy and a starter delamination at one end was made by inserting Teflon film with the thickness of 12.5 μ m. Mixed-mode interlaminar fracture test was conducted for 6 types of specimens with the mode II ratio of 20 ,35, 50, 65, 80, 90%. Also crack propagating behaviors and fractured surfaces were examined through an optical travelling scope and a scanning electron microscope, respectively.

In this paper, we have studied the mechanical properties of thermoplastic carbon fiber fabric composites with spread technology and compression molding temperature were investigated. Carbon fiber reinforcement composites were fabricated using commercial carbon fiber fabrics and spread carbon fiber fabrics. Mechanical properties of the commercial carbon fiber composites (CCFC) and spread carbon fiber composites (SCFC) according to compression molding temperatures were investigated. Thermal properties of the polypropylene film were examined by rheometer, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis. Tensile, flexural and Inter-laminar shear test. Commercial carbon fiber reinforcement composites and spread carbon fiber composites were fabricated at 200~240℃ above the melting temperature of the polypropylene film. Impregnation properties according to compression molding temperature of the polypropylene film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. As a result, as the compression molding temperature was increased, the viscosity of the polypropylene film was decreased. The mechanical properties of the compression molding temperature of 230℃ spread carbon fiber composite was superior.

섬유 프리프레그(Prepreg)는 강화섬유를 수지에 함침하여 B-stage로 만든 복합재료의 중간성형재료이다. 최종적으로 프리프레그를 금형에 적층하여 가열 가압하여 수지를 경화함으로써 최종제품이 완성된다. 본 연구에서는 직물형 프리프레그를 사용하였는데, 사용되는 직물형태로는 복합재료 성형공정에서 형태안정성이 우수한 평직물과 능직물이 주로 사용된다. 직물형 프리프레그를 사용한 복합재료는 작업성과 형태안정성이 우수하면서 내충격특성이 우수하여 오토바이용 헬멧, 방탄용 헬멧 등에 주로 사용된다. 프리프레그에 요구되는 주요 특성중 하나는 Tack성으로서, 성형 과정에서 프리프레그를 여러 장 적층할 때 적층된 층 간에 미끄러지지 않으면서 잘 고정되어 적층 작업을 원활하게 하는 역할을 한다. Tack성은 수지의 B-stage 경화 후의 점성 거동에 따라 변화될 수 있는 것으로 표면의 끈끈함의 정도로서 알 수 있다. Tack성은 온도에 민감하여 측정 시에 일정한 온도의 유지가 중요하다. 이러한 온도에 대한 민감성 때문에 프리프레그의 저장시 저온에서 저장하는 것이 원칙인데, 상온에 있을 경우 시간경과에 따른 Tack성 변화가 크게 나타나게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 아라미드 섬유와 열경화성수지를 이용하여 프리프레그를 제조하고 이를 상온상태에서 보관 시 일정시간 경과에 따른 Tack성 변화를 알아보고자 하였다.

Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are applied to transport industries to lightweight of body, and applications will be expanded gradually. In this study, the impregnation and mechanical properties of continuous glass fiber (GF) reinforced polycarbonate (PC) composites were evaluated with different molecular weights of PC. The continuous GF reinforced PC composite were prepared by using GF fabric and PC film via continuous compression molding method. The melting flow index and tensile strength of PC matrix were evaluated with different molecular weights. Mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, and compressive) and pore rate of GF/PC composite were evaluated with different molecular weights of PC. The fracture behavior was analyzed to fracture surface of GF/PC composite using FE-SEM images. As these results, it was condition of representing the best mechanical property that the GF/PC composite was prepared by using PC of 20,000 g/mol as matrix.

In this paper deformation of micro-mechanical parameters such as tow interval, tow thickness and change in tow amplitude are investigated by using dry fabrics (Five-harness satin weave) under shear deformation. To evaluate the observation results according to the generated in-plane forces in the material, bias extension, biaxial test results are compared with. It was found that a picture frame test with a misaligned fibre orientation angle shows large differences in deformation between tensile and compressive tow directions.

Textile composite materials have been widely applied in aerospace structures due to their various advantages such as high specific stiffnesses and strengths, better out-of-plane performances, impact and delamination resistances, and net shape fabrications. In this paper, a modified geometric model of repeating unit cell (RUC) is suggested based on the Naik's model for 2D plain weave textile composites. The RUC geometry is defined by various parameters. The proposed model considers another parameter which is a gap length between adjacent yarns. The effective stiffnesses are predicted by using the yarn slicing technique and stress averaging technique based on iso-strain assumption. And the stiffnesses of RUC are evaluated by adjusting the gap ratio and verified by comparing with Naik's model and experimental data for 2D plain weave composite specimens.

In order to increase the electrical conductivity and the mechanical properties of carbon fabric composites, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were deposited on carbon fabrics by anodic and cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) processes. In the cathodic EPD, carbon nano-particles and nano-sized Cu particles were simultaneously deposited on the carbon fabric, which gave a synergetic effect on the enhancement of properties as well as the degree of deposition. The hybridization of carbon nano-particles and micron-sized carbon fiber significantly improved the through-the-thickness electrical conductivity. In addition, both MWCNTs and CNFs were deposited onto the carbon fabric for multi-scale hybrid composites. Multi-scale deposition improved the through-the-thickness electrical conductivity, compared to the deposition of either MWCNTs or CNFs.

Carbon/epoxy composite bipolar plate (BP) is a BP that is likely to replace existing graphite bipolar plate of vanadium redox flow cell (VRFB) due to its high mechanical properties and productivity. Multi-functional carbon/epoxy composite BP requires graphite coating or additional surface treatment to reduce interfacial contact resistance (ICR). However, the expanded graphite coating has the disadvantage of having low durability under VRFB operating conditions, and the surface treatments incur additional costs. In this work, an excessive resin absorption method is developed, which uniformly removes the resin rich area on the surface of the BP to expose carbon fibers by applying polyester fabric. This method not only reduces ICR by exposing carbon fibers to BP surfaces, but also forms a unique ditch pattern that can effectively hold carbon felt electrodes in place. The acidic environmental durability, mechanical properties, and gas permeability of the developed carbon/epoxy composite BP are experimentally verified.

As the structures of the high performance electronic equipments and devices recently become more complex, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and compatibility (EMC) have been very essential for commercial and military purposes. Thus, sensitive electrical devices and densely packed systems need to be protected from electromagnetic wave. In this research, glass fabric/epoxy composites containing conductive multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and carbon fiber/epoxy composites as electrical shielding materials were fabricated and electrical properties of the composites were measured. The concerning frequency band is from 300 MHz to 1 GHz. The performances of composite shielding enclosures were predicted using electromagnetic wave 3-D simulation tool, CST Microwave Studio. The shielding enclosure made of carbon fiber/epoxy composites were fabricated and the shielding effectiveness (SE) was measured in the anechoic chamber.
