본 연구에서는 다양한 종류의 섬유를 일방향으로 배향시켜 제작한 복합재료의 트라이볼로지 연구를 수행하였으며 특히 섬유의 배향과 활주속도가 트라이볼로지 성질에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 실험에 쓰인 시편은 유리 섬유, 아라미드 섬유, 그리고 고탄성 탄소 섬유를 보강재료로 에폭시 수지를 모재로 사용한 일방향섬유 복합재료이며 각각의 시편을 스테인레스 강 상대 마찰면에 마찰시켜 마모량과 마찰 계수를 구하였다. 실험조건으로 사용한 여러 활주속도에서 탄소섬유복합재료가 모든 섬유배열방향에서 아라미드섬유복합재료와 유리섬유 복합재료보다 마모율과 마찰계수가 낮은 경향을 보였으며 특히 높은 속도에서는 탄소섬유복합재료의 특성이 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다.

Carbon fiber/aluminum (CF/Al) composites were successfully fabricated without pressure casting using wettability modification of carbon fiber. The wettability of liquid aluminum on carbon fibers was enhanced through electroless plating of copper on carbon fibers. Liquid aluminum was well infiltrated into carbon fiber bundles with Cu coating layer due to low wetting angle, and a lot of pores that existed in CF/Al composite without Cu coating on CF were greatly removed. However, a few tiny pores existed in carbon fiber bundles, which is due to not bad wettability between CF and Al but shrinkage cavity that was generated during cooling of CF/Al composite. The tiny pores could be effectively removed by a subsequent rolling.

탄소섬유-에폭시 복합재료의 전파 반사특성을 전파전송 이론에 근거하여 해석하였다. 탄소섬유 복합재료의유전상수를 투과/반사법에 의해 4-12GAz 주파수 범위에서 측정하였다. 측정된 재료정수로부터 반사손실을 시편의두께와 주파수의 함수로 계산하였다. 탄소섬유 복합재료는 높은 유전상수와 도전손실 특성에 의해 전파의 반사율이 매우 높았다. 그러나 파장에 비해 시편의 두께가 작은 경우 반사손실은 두께에 매우 민감하였으며, 이는 입력 임피던스의 변화에 기인하는 것으로 해석되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 전자파 차폐를 극대화시키기 위해서는 특히 저주파 대역에서 시편의두께 조절이 매우 중요함을 제시할 수 있었다.

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.

This paper reports the effects of nickel film interleaves on the interlaminar shear strength(ILSS) of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites(CFRPs). A nickel thin film was deposited onto the prepreg by radio frequency(RF) sputtering at room temperature. The ILSS of the nickel film interleaved hybrid composites was increased compared to that of the composites without interleaves. To understand the mechanism of enhancement of the ILSS, the fracture surface of the tested specimens was examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The metal interleaves were acted as a reinforcement for the matrix rich interface and the shear property of their composites improved by enhancing the resistance to matrix cracking.

In this work, the influence of milled carbon fiber direction on mechanical properties of milled carbon fibers/carbon blacks/natural rubber compounds was investigated. The compounds were prepared by adding the 6 phr milled carbon fibers (MCFs) and 40 phr carbon blacks (CBs) into the natural rubber. The MCFs were aligned in a parallel and orthogonal direction in the compounds using two-roll-mill machine. Mechanical properties of compounds were studied by tensile characteristics and tearing strength. As a result, the compounds showed higher tensile strength, 100%~300% modulus, and tearing strength than those of using any other compounds due to the aligning MCFs in parallel. Mechanical properties of the compounds reinforced with non-aligned MCFs were inferior to those of others. Consequently, the parallel aligned MCFs in the compounds led to an increase of tensile properties and improvement of tearing strength, resulted from MCFs with the high elastic modulus.

The effect of carbon fiber orientation on the tribological properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites used as a reflecting material for the electromagnetic wave has been investigated. It was found that the carbon fiber/epoxy composite which slides normal to prepreg lay-up direction had less friction and wear that those slides parallel to prepreg fiber lay-up direction due to the increase of delamination between carbon fiber and epoxy. Composite with unidirectional orientation($0/0^{\circ}$) had higher tribological properties than those with multidirectional orientation($0/45/90/-45^{\circ}$ and $0/90^{\circ}$) when the sliding direction was normal to prepreg lay-up direction. This was caused by the debonding between carbon fiber and epoxy which is proportional to contact area between the sliding surface and carbon fiber. Opposite results have been found when the sliding direction was parallel to prepreg lay-up direction due tot he tensile force applied on carbon fiber. In addition, it was shown that wear factor increased with increasing sliding velocity but the friction coefficient did not depend upon the sliding velocity.

Recently, the applications of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) have become broader than ever when it comes to such industries as automotive, ships, aerospace and military because of their lightweight-ness and high mechanical properties. Thermosetting plastics like epoxy are frequently used as the binding matrix in CFRPs due to their high hardness, wetting characteristics and low viscosity. However, they cannot melted and remolded. For this reason, thermosetting plastic wastes have caused serious environmental problems with the production of fiber reinforced plastics. Thus, many studies have focused on the carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs) and recycling carbon fiber. In this study, recycled carbon fiber (RCF) was prepared from CFRPs using a pyrolysis method, which was employed to separate resin and carbon fiber. The degree of decomposition for epoxy resin was confirmed from thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The RCF was cut and ground to prepare a carbon fiber composite sheet (CFCS). CFCS was manufactured by applying recycled carbon fibers and various thermoplastic fibers. Various characterizations were performed, including morphological analyses of surface and cross-section, mechanical properties, and crystallization enthalpy of CFCS at different cooling conditions.

Measuring fiber volume fraction properly is very important in designing composite materials because the fiber volume fraction mainly determines mechanical and thermal properties. Conventional Ignition methods are effective for ceramic fiber reinforcing composite materials. However, these methods are not proper for applying to carbon fiber reinforcing composites because of the venerable characteristic against oxidation of carbon fiber. In the research, fiber volume fraction of carbon fiber composites was obtained by a thermogravimetric analysis considering oxidation characteristic of the carbon fiber and the method was compared and verified with the results from microscopic cross section images.

탄소섬유가 중앙에 적층된 풍력발전용 블레이드 소재인 탄소 유리섬유 하이브리드 복합재료가 VARTM(Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding)공법을 이용하여 제작되었다. 아이조드 충격시험법을 이용하여 온도, 하이브리드화 비율 그리고 노치에 대한 충격강도의 영향을 연구하였다. 온도 감소 및 탄소섬유의 증가에 의해 충격강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 노치에 의해 하이브리드 복합재료는 약 $25{\sim}30$%가량의 충격강도 감소를 보였다. 그러나 단일 탄소섬유 복합재료의 경우 노치민감도는 없었으며, 이에 소량의 유리섬유 첨가로 인해 하이브리드화 하였을 경우 충격강도 향상 및 저온 충격강도 안정성을 확보 할 수 있었다.
