A novel non-enzymatic oxalic acid (OA) sensor based on the platinum/carbon black-nickel-reduced graphene oxide (Pt/CBNi-rGO) nanocomposite is reported. The nanocomposites were prepared by the ethylene glycol reduction method. Their morphology and chemical composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results clearly demonstrated the formation of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO nanocomposite. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. It was determined that the appropriate amount of Pt enhanced the catalytic activity of Pt for oxalic acid electro-oxidation. Moreover, the modified electrode was determined to be highly selective for oxalic acid without interference from compounds commonly found in urine including uric acid and ascorbic acid. The chronoamperometric signal gave a wide linearity range of 20 μM-60 mM and the detection limit (3σ) was found to be 2.35 μM. The proposed method showed high selectivity, stability, and good reproducibility and could be used with micro-volumes of sample for the detection of oxalic acid. Finally, the oxalic acid content in artificial and control urine samples were successfully determined by our proposed electrode.

Electro-micromechanical techniques were applied using four-probe method for carbon nanotube (CNT) or nanofiber (CNF)/epoxy composites with their content. Carbon black (CB) was used to compare with CNT and CNF. The fracture of carbon fiber was detected by nondestructive acoustic emission (AE) relating to electrical resistivity for double-matrix composites test. Sensing for fiber tension was performed by electro-pullout test under uniform cyclic strain. The sensitivity for fiber damage such as fiber fracture and fiber tension was the highest for CNT/epoxy composites, and in CB case they were the lowest compared with CNT and CNF. Reinforcing effect of CNT obtained from apparent modulus measurement was the highest in the same content. The results obtained from sensing fiber damage were correlated with the morphological observation of nano-scale structure using FE-SEM. The information on fiber damage and matrix deformation and reinforcing effect of carbon nanocomposites could be obtained from electrical resistivity measurement as a new concept of nondestructive evaluation.

This paper is focused on the development of the flexible electrode for disc-type polymer actuators using Segmented Polyurethane(SPU). This paper consists of two parts. The one is about the mechanical property such as elastic modulus. these parameters mainly affect behaviors of polymer actuators and the other is about the electro-chemical property such as the surface resistance of the composite electrode affects the strength of electrostatic force, results in the deformation of polymer actuators. The Young's modulus was measured by UTM. As result, by increasing the modulus of a body of polymer actuators, the maximum displacement of polymer actuators are decreased. The surface resistance of the electrode was measured by 4 point probe system. Compared with the conductive silver grease, the displacement of polymer actuators using carbon black(CB) composite electrodes is comparably small but CB composite electrode should be the practical approach for the improvement of the performance of all-solid actuators, compared with another types of electrode materials.

본 연구에서는 나노구조를 갖는 카본블랙이 충전된 CB/HDPE 복합재료를 용융 혼합법으로 제조한 후 온도변화에 따른 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. 복합재료의 전기적 재현성 향상과 negative temperature coefficient (NTC) 현상의 제거를 위하여 전자선을 30-150 kGy로 조사하였으며, 조사된 복합재료의 가교함량 분석은 용매 추출법을 이용하였다. 실험결과, CB/HDPE 복합재료의 PTC 세기는 카본블랙의 함량과 입자크기에 크게 영향을 받으며. 가교함량의 급격한 증가에 따른 NTC 현상의 제거는 전자선 흡수선량이 60 kGy일 때였다. 또한 전자선 조사를 통하여 전기적 재현성이 향상되었는데, 이는 복합재료의 가교도 증가에 따른 수지의 용융온도 근처에서의 카본블랙 유동성의 감소 때문이라 사료된다.

There are many kinds of protection methods for marine structures by using and environmental condition. Coating protection method, one of these methods is being widely adopted to both all ground and marine structures. In this study, by adding some additives such as Zn powder(Zn), carbon black(CB) to epoxy anti-corrosive paint, the effect to promote corrosion resistance was investigated with electrochemical method. Corrosion potentials with additives shifted to negative direction than no additive. However passivity current density increased than no additive except for Zn(20)+CB(10), especially, additive of Zn(20)+CB(10) showed the smallest passivity current density. Polarization resistance of Zn(20)+CB(10) by both cyclic voltammogram and impedance measurement was the largest value than other additives. And also surface phenomenon by adding Zn(20)+CB(10) was observed a good add condition not showing bubbling than other additives.

There are many kinds of protection methods for marine structures, with varyingeconomical and environmental advantages. The coating protection method is being widely used in both continental and marine structures. In this study, by adding some additives, such as Zn powder(Zn), carbon black(CB) to epoxy anti-corrosive paint, the effect on the corrosion resistance was investigated throughan electrochemical method. The additive of Zn(20)+CB(10) showed the lowest passivity current density. Polarization resistance in both cyclic voltammogram and impedance measurement of an additive of Zn(20)+CB(10) was also the largest value, compared to other additives. Furthermore, rusting and bubbling was not observed on the surface of the test specimen with the additive of Zn(20)+CB(10), compared to other specimens. It is suggested that the corrosion resistance of the anti-corrosive paint can be improved by using some additives.

본 연구에서는 PTC 소자의 NTC 현상을 제거하기 위하여 카본블랙을 0.1-0.4 MPa의 압력으로 불소처리 한 후 이를 이용하여 카본블랙/HDPE 전도성 컴파운드를 제조하였다. 불소처리한 카본블랙의 표면특성 변화는 FT-IR, XPS 그리고 접촉각 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. FT-IR실험 결과, 불소처리된 카본블랙은 1400-1000 cm$^{-1}$ 영역에서 C-F 피크를 나타내며 처리압력이 증가할수록 C-F 피크의 세기가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, XPS 분석을 통해 불소처리 압력이 증가할수록 카본블랙 내의 불소의 함량이 증가함을 확인하였다. 그러나, 불소처리된 카본블랙의 표면자유에너지는 처리압력이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 결과로서, 카본블랙의 불소 처리를 통해 카본블랙/HDPE 컴파운드의 NTC 현상이 사라졌는데, 이는 카본블랙의 표면자유에너지 감소가 수지의 융점 이후 일어나는 카본블랙 입자간의 재결합을 방해하기 때문이라 사료된다.

전기적-미세역학 시험법을 이용하여 탄소 나노튜브와 탄소 나노섬유로 강화된 에폭시 복합재료의 비파괴 손상 감지능에 대해 고찰하였다. 카본블랙은 탄소 나노튜브 및 탄소 나노섬유와 비교하기 위해 사용하였다. 두 기지 복합재료 시험에서 탄소 섬유의 파단은 전기저항 변화 측정과 함께 음향방출을 이용하여 동시에 감지하였고 탄소나노복합재료 내부에 함침된 탄소 섬유에 대한 응력 감지는 반복 하중 하에서 전기적-pullout 시험법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 같은 부피 함량에서 섬유파단, 기지재료 변형 및 응력에 대한 감지능은 탄소 나노튜브/에폭시 복합재료에서 가장 높았으며, 카본블랙의 경우가 가장 낮았다. 전기적물성 및 손상 감지능은 탄소나노복합재료의 형상학적인 관찰 결과와 상호 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 탄소 나노재료의 균일한 분산은 손상 감지능을 높이기 위한 가장 중요한 요인으로 고려되며, 탄소 나노복합재료에 대한 손상감지는 전기저항측정과 음향 방출을 이용하여 비파괴적으로 평가할 수 있었다.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely used in polymer composites as filler materials to enhance various characteristics of the composites because of their remarkable mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In this study, we investigate the effects of MWCNTs on the electrical and wear characteristics of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) composites, and compare the results with the effects of carbon black (CB). The HIPS composites are classified as Bare-HIPS, MWCNT-HIPS composites containing 2, 3, 4, and 5 wt% MWCNTs, and CB-HIPS containing 17 wt% CB. Electrical characteristics are evaluated by measuring the surface resistance using a 4-point probe. Wear characteristics are evaluated using the reciprocating wear test, and a chrome steel ball with a curvature of 6.3 mm is used as the counterpart. The results show that the addition of MWCNTs or CB can improve the electrical and wear characteristics of HIPS composites. In the case of MWCNT-HIPS composites, surface resistance, friction coefficient, and specific wear rate decrease as the concentrations of MWCNTs increase. Moreover, the addition of MWCNTs is more effective in improving the electrical and wear characteristics of HIPS composites compared to the addition of CB. To fabricate the HIPS composite with appropriate electrical and wear characteristics, more than 4 wt% MWCNTs is added to HIPS.
