고내열성 고분자인 폴리벤족사진(PBZ)과 전도성 그래핀을 혼성화시켜 새로운 전도성 복합박막을 제조하는 연구를 처음으로 수행하였다. 단순한 열처리 공정에 의해 동시에 그래핀 옥사이드와 벤족사진 단량체를 환원 및 경화를 시켜 기계적/전기적 특성이 크게 향상된 그래핀/PBZ 복합 박막을 제조하였다. 그래핀/PBZ 복합 박막의 화학/결정 구조 및 형태학적 미세구조 분석으로부터 약 3 wt%의 그래핀이 복합 박막에 들어가더라도 그래핀이 비교적 균일하게 분산된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 PBZ박막의 기계적 물성 향상과 동시에 도전성을 부여하는 효과적인 경로를 제공할 수 있었다.

Composite materials offer distinct and unique properties that are not naturally inherited in the individual materials that make them. One of the most attractive composites to manufacture is the aluminum alloy matrix composite, because it usually combines easiness of availability, light weight, strength, and other favorable properties. In the current work, Powder Metallurgy Method (PMM) is used to prepare Al2024 matrix composites reinforced with different mixing ratios of yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) particles. The tests performed on the composites include physical, mechanical, and tribological, as well as microstructure analysis via optical microscope. The results show that the experimental density slightly decreases while the porosity increases when the reinforcement ratio increases within the selected range of 0 ~ 20 wt%. Besides this, the yield strength, tensile strength, and Vickers hardness increase up to a 10 wt% Y₂O₃ ratio, after which they decline. Moreover, the wear results show that the composite follows the same paradigm for strength and hardness. It is concluded that this composite is ideal for application when higher strength is required from aluminum composites, as well as lighter weight up to certain values of Y₂O₃ ratio.

A composite film of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/sol-gel-derived zinc oxide(ZnO)/Nafion has been utilized as an efficient immobilization matrix for the construction of a highly sensitive and stable tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) (Ru(${bpy)_3}^{2+})$ electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. The electrochemical and ECL behaviors of Ru(${bpy)_3}^{2+})$ ion-exchanged into the composite film were strongly dependent upon the sol-gel preparation condition, the amount of MWCNT incorporated into the ZnO/Nafion composite film, and the buffer solution pH. The synergistic effect of MWCNTs and ZnO in the composite films increased not only the sensitivity but also the long-term stability of the ECL sensor. The present ECL sensor based on the MWCNT/ZnO/Nafion gave a linear response ($R^2$ = 0.999) for tripropylamine concentration from 500 nM to 1.0 mM with a remarkable detection limit (S/N = 3) of 15 nM. The present ECL sensor showed outstanding long-term stability (94% initial signal retained for 5 weeks). Since the present ECL sensor exhibits large response towards NADH, it could be applied as a transduction platform for the ECL biosensor in which the NADH is produced from the dehydrogenase-based enzymatic reaction in the presence of NA$D^+$ cofactor.

Gold functionalized graphene oxide (GOAu) nanoparticles were reinforced in acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers (NBR) via solution and melt mixing methods. The synthesized NBR-GOAu nanocomposites have shown significant improvements in their rate of curing, mechanical strength, thermal stability and electrical properties. The homogeneous dispersion of GOAu nanoparticles in NBR has been considered responsible for the enhanced thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of NBR nanocomposites. In addition, the NBR-GOAu nanocomposites were able to show a decreasing trend in their dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$) and electrical resistance on straining within a range of 10-70%. The decreasing trend in ${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$ is attributed to the decrease in electrode and interfacial polarization on straining the nanocomposites. The decreasing trend in electrical resistance in the nanocomposites is likely due to the attachment of Au nanoparticles to the surface of GO sheets which act as electrical interconnects. The Au nanoparticles have been proposed to function as ball rollers in-between GO nanosheets to improve their sliding on each other and to improve contacts with neighboring GO nanosheets, especially on straining the nanocomposites. The NBR-GOAu nanocomposites have exhibited piezoelectric gauge factor (${GF_{\varepsilon}}^{\prime}$) of ~0.5, and piezo-resistive gauge factor ($GF_R$) of ~0.9 which clearly indicated that GOAu reinforced NBR nanocomposites are potentially useful in fabrication of structural, high temperature responsive, and stretchable strain-sensitive sensors.

본 연구에서는 전극 활물질로서 그래핀-바나듐 산화물 복합체를 pH 1.8 조건에서 0.5M $VOSO_4$ 수용액을 이용하여 전기화학적 전착을 이용해 합성하였다. 전착공정 후 다공성 바나듐 산화물이 작업전극에 생성된 것을 SEM, XRD, XPS를 통해 확인하였으며 생성된 바나듐 산화물은 $V^{5+}$와 $V^{4+}$로 존재한다. 그래핀에 전착된 바나듐 산화물의 직경 약 100 nm의 나노로드로 이루어진 망상 구조는 전극과 전해질과의 접촉을 향상시킨다. 4000 초의 전착공정을 거친 그래핀-바나듐 산화물 복합체를 작업전극으로 하여 3전극 셀에서 전기화학적 특성을 평가한 결과 20 mV/s의 주사속도에서 $854mF/cm^2$의 높은 정전용량을 나타내었고 1000회 충방전 후 초기 용량의 53%가 유지되었다.

본 연구에서는 graphene oxide (GO)를 polyacrylonitrile (PAN)에 첨가하여 전기방사법을 이용해 나노섬유 복합막을 제조한 뒤 물리적 특성을 관찰하였다. GO의 제조는 개선된 Hummer's 방법을 이용하였으며, 표면처리가 되지 않은 GO의 경우 0.5 wt% 이상에서 전기방사가 이루어지지 않았다. GO의 안정성 및 분산도 증가를 개선하기 위해 계면활성제를 이용하여 GO의 표면처리를 하였다. 표면처리가 된 GO를 사용하여 나노섬유 복합막의 GO의 함량을 0.5 wt% 이상 첨가할 수 있었다. 특히, 표면처리가 된 GO가 첨가된 나노섬유 복합막은 향상된 물리적 특성을 가지며, 이는 나노섬유 분리막 내의 GO의 분산도와 상관관계가 있는 것으로 보인다.

The reaction characteristics of aluminum-copper(II) oxide composites initiated by the electrostatic discharge were studied as changing the aluminum particle size. Three different sizes of aluminum particles with nano-size copper(II)-oxide particle were used in the study. These composites were manufactured by two methods i.e. a shock-gel method and a self-assembly method. The larger aluminum particle size was, the less sensitive and less violent these composites were based on the electrostatic test. On the analysis of high speed camera about ignition appearances and burning time, the burning speed was faster when aluminum particle size was smaller.

전구체로서 bis(triethoxy silyl) benzene (BTEB), 구조유도체로서 dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTMA)를 사용하여 periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMO) 합성하였다. PMO를 XRD, TEM, 그리고 NMR로 확인한 결과 육각 벌집형태의 메조포러스한 물질임을 확인하였다. 합성한 PMO에 polyethylene oxide (PEO)를 삽입하여, DSC와 XRD로 확인한 결과 고분자가 PMO에 삽입되는 과정에서 고분자의 결정성 용융 온도가 감소하다가 결국 사라짐을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 고분자 사슬이 PMO의 기공에 삽입되었다는 것이며, 삽입된 고분자 사슬은 PMO의 골격구조에 의하여 제한 받아서 비결정성 형태의 구조를 지니고 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Both an unreinforced $Al_2O_3$/Al matrix and a ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ particulate reinforced composite have been produced by the oxidation of an Al surface doped with NaOH in the absence of any other dopant. Fabrication of the matrix was initiated by the formation of $NaAlO_2$, which provides a favorable surface structure for the matrix formation by breaking the protective $Al_2O_3$ layer on Al. During the matrix growth, the external surface of the growth front was covered with a very thin sodium-rich oxide. A cyclic formation process of the sodium-rich oxide on the growth surface was proposed for the sodium-induced directed metal oxidation process. This process involves dissolution of the sodium-rich oxide, motion of Na to the growth front, and re-formation of the oxide on the surface. Near-net-shape composites were fabricated by infiltrating an $Al_2O_3$/Al matrix into a ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ particulate preform, without growth barrier materials. The infiltration distance increased almost linearly in the NaOH-doped preform.

This is an overview paper reporting our most recent work on processing and microstructure of nano-structured oxides and their photoluminescence and photo-catalysis properties. Zinc oxide and related transition metal oxides such as vanadium pentoxide and titanium dioxide were produced by a combination of magnetron sputtering, hydrothermal growth and atmosphere controlled heat treatment. Special morphology and microstructure were created including nanorods arrays, core-brushes, nano-lollipops and multilayers with very large surface area. These structures showed special properties such as much enhanced photoluminescence and chemical reactivity. The photo-catalytic properties have also been promoted significantly. It is believed that two factors contributed to the high reactivity: the large surface area and the interaction between different oxides. The transition metal oxides with different band gaps have much enhanced photoluminescence under laser stimulation. Use of these complex oxide structures as electrodes can also improve the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells. The mixed oxide complex may provide a promising way to high-efficiency photo emitting materials and photo-catalysts.
