This work has been investigated in order to study the influence of the moisture absorption on the mechanical pf the glass fiber/epoxy resein composites and the carbon fiber/epoxy resein composites. The types of glass fiber used in the glass fiber/epoxy resein composites were randomly oriented fiber and plain fabric fiber. And carbon fiber.epoxy resein composites was laminated with fabric prepreg which was formed with carbon fiber and epoxy resein. Both composites were immersed up to 100 days in distilled water at $80^{\circ}C$, and then dried up to 3 days in an oven at 80$80^{\circ}C$. Both composites were measured for the weight gain of water(wt.%) and tensile strength through immersion and dry time. Consequently, it was found that the tensile strength of thw glass fiber/epoxy resein composites and the carbon fiber/epoxy resein composites were reduced proportionally to the moisture absortion rate. Also, the tensile strength of glass fiber composites was decreased more than that of the carbon fiber composites. Additionally, it was found that the tensile strength of all composites which decreased by moisture absorption were partly recovered by drying in an oven at 80$80^{\circ}C$.

The fracture toughness of three different kinds of epoxy-matrix composites containing the same volume fraction of reinforcement and the variation of fracture toughness of glass-carbon fiber/epoxy hybrid composites due to the change of test temperature and different glass fiber content were investigated in this study. Glass fiber/epoxy composite provided much higher fracture toughness than that of other composites because of the high strain at failure of glass fiber. Particularly the carbon fiber/epoxy composite exhibited the low fracture toughness caused by the low strain energy absorbing capacity of carbon fiber. And it was found that the strain at failure of reinforcement and interfacial delamination absorbing a significant amount of impact energy played an important role to increase fracture toughness of composites. The fracture toughness of the glass-carbon fiber hybrid composites increased with increasing the glass fiber content and decreased with raising the test temperature. The residual stress arising from the different thermal expansion between the matrix and reinforcement influenced the fracture toughness of composites.

This study concentrates the effect of hybridisation on the collapse mode and energy absorption for composite cylinders. The static collapse behavior of laminated(Al/CFRP/GFRP) circular-cylindrical composite shell under quasi-static axial compressive load has been investigated experimentally. Eight different hybrids of laminated(Al/CFRP/GFRP) circular-cylindrical composite shell were fabricated by autoclave. Eight types of composites were tested, namely, Al/carbon fiber/epoxy, Al/glass fiber/epoxy, Al/carbon-carbon-glass/epoxy, Al/carbon-glass-carbon/epoxy, Al/carbon-glass-glass/epoxy, Al/glass-glass-carbon/epoxy, Al/glass-carbon-glass/epoxy and Al/glass-carbon-carbon/epoxy. Collpase modes were highly dominated by the effect of hybridisation. The results also showed that the hybrid member with material sequence of Al-glass-carbon-carbon/epoxy exhibited good energy absorption capability.

Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness was measured and fractured surfaces were observed of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy woven fabric composites for carbody structure. Woven fabric carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composites that made with prepreg and epoxy resin(RS1222) are used in carbody structure of Korean tilting train(TTX) and low floor bus. ENF(End Notched Flexure) specimens having $120mm{\times}20m{\times}5mm$ shape and 35mm initial crack were made with each composites and three point bending tests according to ASTM D790 were conducted for these specimens. Crack lengths in tests were recorded using optical microscope and digital camcorder. NL(Non Linear), 5% offset and Max. load points in load -displacement curves were checked and mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of these points were calculated and compared. Fractured surfaces of specimens were observed using optical microscope and mode II delamination behavior of each composites was discussed.

The incorporation of nanoplatelets in composite and polymeric materials represents a recent and innovative approach, holding substantial promise for diverse property enhancements. This study focuses on the application of nanocomposites in the production of sports equipment, particularly soccer balls, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implications. Addressing the longstanding challenge of suboptimal interaction between carbon nanofillers and epoxy resin in epoxy composites, this research pioneers inventive solutions. Furthermore, the investigation extends into unexplored territory, examining the integration of glass fiber/epoxy composites with nanoparticles. The incorporation of nanomaterials, specifically expanded graphite and graphene, at a concentration of 25.0% by weight in both the epoxy structure and the composite with glass fibers demonstrates a marked increase in impact resistance compared to their nanomaterial-free counterparts. The research transcends laboratory experiments to explore the practical applications of nanocomposites in the design and production of sports equipment, with a particular emphasis on soccer balls. Analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy are employed to scrutinize the surface chemical structure and morphology of the epoxy nanocomposites. Additionally, an in-depth examination of the thermal, mechanical, viscoelastic, and conductive properties of these materials is conducted. Noteworthy findings include the efficacy of surface modification of carbon nanotubes in preventing accumulation and enhancing their distribution within the epoxy matrix. This optimization results in improved interfacial interactions, heightened thermal stability, superior mechanical properties, and enhanced electrical conductivity in the nanocomposite.

The electromagnetic intereference(EMI) shielding is very essential for commercial and military purposes. We fabricated multi-walled carbon nanoube(MWNT)/epoxy composites and studied the electromagnetic characteristics of the composites before we study the characteristics of MWNT-filled glass fiber-reinforced composites. After setting up the fabrication process, we measured the permittivities of MWNT/epoxy composites with process variables and MWNT concentrations in X-band(8.2GHz- 12.4GHz). Process variables changed the degree of dispersion, which influenced permittivities and permittivities increased rapidly from 0.5wt% to 1.0wt%.

This study has been investigated about the influence of moisture environment properties in the unidirectional and cross laminated carbon fiber/epoxy and glass fiber/epoxy composites. As a results, it was found that the weight gain of water increased with the immersion time and the mechanical properties were decreased with the weight gain of water. And it was also shown that the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy laminates were better than those of glass fiber/epoxy laminates. And a gap of the mechanical properties between the two kinds of laminates was increasing with the immersion time in distilled water of 80$^{\circ}C $. Mechanical properties which decreased by moisture absorption in the CF and GF reinforced laminates were recovered up to some extent by drying in oven at 80$^{\circ}C $ for 10 days.
