A powder-in-sheath rolling method was applied to a fabrication of a carbon nano tube (CNT) reinforced aluminum composite. A STS304 tube with an outer diameter of 34 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm was used as a sheath material. A mixture of pure aluminum powders and CNTs with the volume contents of 1, 3, 5 vol was filled in the tube by tap filling and then processed to 73.5% height reduction by a rolling mill. The relative density of the CNT/Al composite fabricated by the powder-in-sheath rolling decreased slightly with increasing of CNTs content, but exhibited high value more than 98. The grain size of the aluminum matrix was largely decreased with addition of CNTs; it decreased from $24{\mu}m$ to $0.9{\mu}m$ by the addition of only 1 volCNT. The average hardness of the composites increased by approximately 3 times with the addition of CNTs, comparing to that of unreinforced pure aluminum. It is concluded that the powder-in-sheath rolling method is an effective process for fabrication of CNT reinforced Al matrix composites.

The tensile-recoil compressional behavior of the carbon nanotube reinforced mesophase pitch (MP)-based composite carbon fibers (CNT-re-MP CFs) was investigated by using Instron and SEM. The CNT-re-MP CFs exhibited improved, or at least equivalent, compressive strength as compared with commercial MP-based carbon fibers. Particularly, when CNT of 0.1 wt% was reinforced, the ratios of recoil compressive strengths to tensile strength of CNT-re-MPCFs were much higher (the difference is at least 10 % or higher) than those for the commercial counterparts and even than those for PAN-based commercial carbon fibers. FESEM micrographs showed somewhat different fractography from that of a typical shear failure as the CNT content increased.

A powder-in-sheath rolling method is applied to the fabrication of a carbon nano tube (CNT) reinforced copper composite. A copper tube with outer diameter of 30 mm and wall thickness of 2 mm is used as sheath material. A mixture of pure copper powder and CNTs with a volume content of 3 % is filled in a tube by tap filling and then processed to an 93.3 % reduction using multi-pass rolling after heating for 0.5 h at 400 ℃. The specimen is then sintered for 1h at 500 ℃. The relative density of the 3 vol%CNT/Cu composite fabricated using powder in sheath rolling is 98 %, while that of the Cu powder compact is 99 %. The microstructure is somewhat heterogeneous in width direction in the composite, but is relatively homogeneous in the Cu powder compact. The hardness distribution is also ununiform in the width direction for the composite. The average hardness of the composites is higher by 8Hv than that of Cu powder compact. The tensile strength of the composite is 280 MPa, which is 20 MPa higher than that of the Cu powder compact. It is concluded that the powder in sheath rolling method is an effective process for fabrication of sound CNT reinforced Cu matrix composites.

In this study, two series of CNT/$TiO_2$ electrodes were prepared. The decrease of surface area compared with that of the pristine carbon nanotubes (CNTs) indicated the blocking of micropores on the surface of the CNTs; was further supported by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission SEM (FE-SEM) observations. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the CNT/$TiO_2$ composites contained a mix of anatase and rutile forms of $TiO_2$ particles when the precursor was $TiO_2$ powder, whereas when the precursor was Ti ($OC_4H_7$) (TNB), the composites contained only the typical single and clear anatase $TiO_2$ particles. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) spectra showed the presence of C, O and Ti peaks for all samples. It was found that catalytic decomposition of methylene blue (MB) solution could be attributed to synthetic effects between the $TiO_2$ photocatalysis and electro-assisted CNTs network, and that photoelectrocatalytic oxidation increased with an increase of CNT composition. It was also found that the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation efficiency for MB is higher than that of photocatalytic oxidation. Moreover, the CNT/$TiO_2$ composites catalyst prepared by the impregnation method demonstrates higher photoelectrocatalytic activity than the mechanical mixture with the same CNT content.

To improve mean-life and reliability of power cable in this study, we have investigated chemical properties showing by changing the content of Carbon nanotube(CNT) that is semiconductive additives for underground power transmission. Specimens were made of sheet form with the three of existing resins and the five of specimens for measurement. Chemical properties of specimens was measured by FT-ATR (Fourier Transform Attenuated Total Reflectance). The condition of specimens was a solid sheet. We could observe functional group (C=O, carbonyl group) of specimens through FT-ATR. From these experimental result, the concentration of functional group (C=O) was high according to increasing the content of Carbon nanotube. We could know CNT/EEA was excellent more than other specimens from above experimental results.

In this paper, we have investigated thermal properties by changing the content of carbon nanotube, which is component part of semiconductive shield in underground power transmission cable. Heat capacity (${\Delta}H$), glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) were measured with the samples of eight, through DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), and the measurement ranges of temperature selected from $-100[^{\circ}C]\;to\;100[^{\circ}C]$ with heating temperature selected per $4[^{\circ}C/min]$ Also, high temperature, heat degradation initiation temperature, and heat weight loss were measured by TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) in the temperature from $0[^{\circ}C]\;to\;700[^{\circ}C]$ with rising temperature of $10[^{\circ}C/min]$. As a result, the Glass transition temperatures of the sample were showed near $-20[^{\circ}C]{\sim}25[^{\circ}C]$, and the heat capacity and melting temperature from the DSC was increased according to increasing the content of carbon nanotube, while, thermal diffusivity was increased according to increasing the content of carbon nanotube. Also, heat degradation initiation temperature from the TGA results was increasing according to increasing the content of carbon nanotube with CNT/EEA. Therefore, heat stabilities of EVA, which contained the we VA (vinyl acetate), showed the lowest.

다층카본나노튜브(MWCNT)가 강화된 폴리에틸렌에틸아크릴레이트(EEA) 나노복합체를 용융혼합법과 용액혼합법으로 제조하였다. 카본나노튜브의 형태 및 함량변화에 따른 기계적, 열적, 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. MWCNT의 함량이 증가함에 따라 인장강도, 모듈러스는 증가하였고, 파단신장률은 감소하였다. 할로우 형태의 MWCNT가 일반적인 MWCNT에 비해 우수한 인장강도 및 파단신장률을 나타내었다. MWCNT 함량이 증가함에 따라 약 $40^{\circ}C$의 열분해온도의 향상을 보였다. 전기적 특성은 용융혼합법의 경우가 가장 높은 전기저항 특성을 나타내었고, 용액혼합법의 경우 일반형 MWCNT가 할로우 MWCNT보다 낮은 체적저항을 보였다. MWCNT의 함량이 증가할수록 파단면 위로 돌출되는 CNT 수가 증가하였고, 인장변형을 가하면 표면 위로 돌출되는 CNT 수와 길이가 크게 증가하였다. 용융혼합된 시편이 용액혼합에 비해 돌출된 CNT의 수와 길이가 현격히 낮았다.

PURPOSES : This study aims to review the possibility of developing a road snow-melting system that can prevent slip accidents by maintaining a constant temperature of the winter roads and enhance performance of structures, including improvement of compressive strength by mixing carbon nanotube (hereafter referred to as CNT) with cement paste, the basic material. METHODS : To achieve the above purpose, an experiment was conducted by mixing power-type CNT and wrap-type CNT up to cement paste formulation by weight of 0.0wt%~4.1wt% in accordance with "KS L ISO 679(of cement strength test method)", and compressive strength was measured at 28 days of curing. In addition, the volume resistivity of the specimen was measured to test thermal and electrical characteristics, and the rate of temperature changes in specimen surface by power consumption was measured by passing electricity through the cross-sections of the specimen. Meanwhile, the criteria for checking the performance as a road snow-melting system was determined as volume resistivity of $100{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ or less. RESULTS : A comparative analysis between specimen with 0wt% CNT content in plain status and specimen containing various types of CNTs was carried out. From its results, it was found that compressive strength increased approximately 19%, showing the highest rate when 0.2wt% of wrap-type CNT was contained, but volume resistivity of $100{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ or less appeared only in specimens containing more than 0.2wt% CNT. In addition, it was observed that the surface temperature increased by $4.62^{\circ}C$ per minute on average in specimens containing 3.2wt% CNT. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, CNT was examined as an underlying material for a road snow-melting system, and the possibility of developing the road now-melting system was reviewed by conducting various experiments using CNT-Cement composites. From the experimental results, the specimens were found to have a superior performance when compared to the existing road snow-melting systems that place the heat transfer medium such as copper on the road. However, satisfactory strength performance were not obtained from the specimen containing CNT(2.0% or more) that functions as a heating element, which leads to the need for reviewing methods to increase the strength by using plasticizer or admixture.

This paper researched permittivity of carbon nanotube reinforced semiconductive shield materials for power cable in accordance with carbon nanotube content. Permittivity measured 1[Hz], 1[kHz], 1[Mhz] in frequency range, and range of temperature measured to 100$[^{\circ}C]$ from -50$[^{\circ}C]$. It is stable to 100$[^{\circ}C]$ from -50$[^{\circ}C]$ without different gap. But, in case of CNT:CB=100:0, permittivity decreased by temperature increment. Also, in case of CNT:CB=100:0, it shows highest permittivity. Permittivity of change have little no the power of influence by frequency, but in case of 1[Mhz], CNT:CB=100:0 of specimen decreased more than other frequency. This influence thinks phenomenon of induced electricity dispersion.

고무 혼합물의 가류특성 및 전자석 장치를 이용하여 범용고무를 기지로 하는 이방성 자기유동 고무 복합재료(MRRC)의 제조가 가능하였다. 철 입자(IP) 함유량의 증가에 따라 MRRC의 자기 투과율은 증가하였으며, 불규칙 배향에 비해 2 tesla로 배향시킨 경우가 1.8~2배 높게 나타났다. 2 tesla로 배향한 CNT만 강화한 MRRC의 자기 투과율은 3.7%로 자기장의 영향이 뚜렷이 확인되었다. IP 90 + CNT 5 & 2 tesla 배향의 MRRC는 압축시험 시 0.49 tesla의 자기장 하에서 압축응력이 기지에 비해 2.1배 증가하였다. IP 함유량 증가에 따라 자기유동(MR) 효과는 증가하였으며, IP 90 & 2 tesla 배향의 경우 20.4%의 MR 효과를 보였다. 시험편 제조 시 및 압축시험 시 부여한 자기력 세기가 MRRC의 압축특성에 미치는 영향이 크다고 판단된다.
