Two-dimensional materials, which have a crystal structure in a two-dimensional plane, are attracting attention as next-generation materials in nanotechnology, from Graphene, first discovered in 2004, to MXene, discovered in 2011. In this study, Among new 2D materials, we introduce the characteristics of Graphene, MXene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition metal chalcogenide, which are being studied extensively, and introduce technologies that can be used to apply each 2D material to the defense field. We would like to present a method that can be applied to next-generation weapon systems and war-power support systems.

An environmentally-friendly nanocoating method that effectively adds flame retardant(FR) and gas shielding properties to combustible polymeric construction materials such as flexible polyurethane (PU) foam was studied. Naturally-driven two-dimensional(2D) nanomaterials such as graphene oxide (GO) can exhibit liquid crystalline (LC) properties in aqueous solutions, enabling uniform coatings on the various substrates including 3D-porous foams. LC phase-assisted coating serves as 3D-scaffold, facilitating the introduction of small molecules having antioxidant capabilities such as dopamine which is to form uniformly stacked FR coating. Additionally, the structural characteristics of the 2D-materials can effectively hinder the migration of toxic gases and flammable substances in the gas phase generated during combustion. This LC phase flame retardant coating technology could be a new approach to provide environmentally friendly and effective flame retardant and gas barrier properties to various types of polymeric materials.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, especially graphene and $MoS_2$ sheets, have gained much attention and shown great promise for the application in supercapacitors. To widely use the 2D materials for supercapacitors, highly efficient, low cost, and environmentally friendly synthetic methods for the preparation of 2D materials should be developed. Here, we will review recently developed solution-based processes for preparing 2D materials for supercapacitors. Chemical exfoliation-reduction, chemical intercalation, and liquid phase exfoliation methods will be introduced. Moreover, the electrochemical characteristics of graphene and $MoS_2$-based electrodes for supercapacitors are summarized. In addition to solution-based processes, other challenges and opportunities are discussed in terms of controlling nanosheet compositions, sizes, and thicknesses.

그래핀(graphene)은 탄소나노튜브(CNTs)에 비해 가격 경쟁력이 있고 우수한 광투과성과 전기 및 열 전도성을 갖고 있어 반도체 소재, 방열 소재, 접점 소재 등에 적용 가능성이 높은 재료로 주목받고 있다. 특히 모바일 디바이스의 소형화, 고집적화 등의 이슈로 인해 그래핀 소재의 방열 소재 적용을 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 한편 산화 구리 나노선(CuO Nanowire)은 전기 및 열전도도가 우수하고 1차원 나노 구조는 부피대비 큰 표면적, 종횡비가 커서 뛰어난 열전도 구조로서 방열 소재로 응용되기 좋은 조건을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 구조의 그래핀 나노플레이트(Graphene Nanoplatelet)와 1차원 구조의 CuO NW를 하이브리드화를 통해 열전도도 향상를 개선시키고자 하였다. 소재 합성은 GNP에 Cu 무전해 도금을 진행한 후 열산화 방식을 적용하여 CuO NW를 직접 성장시키는 방식으로 진행하였다. 합성된 GNP-CuONWs 다차원 나노구조체의 열전도도 측정은 에폭시에 분산시켜 레이져 플레쉬법을 이용하였다. 미세 구조 관찰 결과, CuO NW 성장 거동은 열처리 온도 및 시간 그리고 O2 가스의 순환 환경이 주요인자로 작용하는 것을 확인하였다. 열전도도 향상은 다차원 구조의 특성으로 인해 면접촉과 선접촉이 동시에 이루어졌기 때문인 것으로 분석되었으며, 이러한 CuO NWs morphology와 열전도도 향상과의 상관 관계에 대해 논의할 것이다.

This study presents an excellent planar heater based on low-dimensional composites. By optimizing the ratio of 1D carbon nanotubes (CNT) and 2D MXene (Ti₃C₂T_X), it is possible to create a planar heater that has superior electrical conductivity and high heat generation characteristics. Low-dimensional composites were prepared by mixing CNT paste and MXene solution with eco-friendly waterborne polyurethane (WPU). In order to find the optimal mixing ratio for the MXene-CNT-WPU composites, samples with MXene to CNT weight ratios of 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, 1:7, and 1:14 were investigated. In addition to these different weight ratios, 5 wt% WPU was equally applied to each sample. It was confirmed that the higher the weight ratio of CNT, the lower the sheet resistance and the higher the heating temperature. In particular, when the MXene-CNT-WPU planar heater was fabricated by mixing MXene and CNT at a weight ratio of 1:7 and 1:14, the heating temperature was higher than the heating temperature of a CNT-WPU planar heater. These characteristics are due to the optimized mixture of the 1D materials (CNT) and the 2D materials (MXene) causing the formation of a flat surface and a dense network structure. The low-dimensional composites manufactured with the optimized mixing ratios found in this study are expected to be applied in flexible electronic devices.

The physical properties of ceramic materials including oxides are greatly influenced by the material density. Therefore, various efforts have been made to increase the material density. One of the most popular strategies is to use sintering additives in sintering materials. The conventional sintering additive was a spherical powder having a three-dimensional structure. In this study, sintering additive with 2-dimensional (2D) layer structure was used to increase the sintering density of cerium oxide and its effect was confirmed. In this study, 1 nm-thick $TiO_x$ and $MnO_x$ nanosheets were used as sintering additives.
