Conductive polymer composites with high electrical and mechanical properties are in demand for bipolar plates of phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC). In this study, composites based on natural graphite/fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and different ratios of carbon black are mixed and hot formed into bars. The overall content of natural graphite is replaced by carbon black (0.2 wt% to 3.0 wt%). It is found that the addition of carbon black reduces electrical resistivity and density. The density of composite materials added with carbon black 3.0 wt% is 2.168 g/㎤, which is 0.017 g/㎤ less than that of non-additive composites. In-plane electrical resistivity is 7.68 μΩm and through-plane electrical resistivity is 27.66 μΩm. Compared with non-additive composites, in-plane electrical resistivity decreases by 95.7 % and through-plane decreases by 95.9 %. Also, the bending strength is about 30 % improved when carbon black is added at 2.0 wt% compared to non-additive cases. The decrease of electrical resistivity of composites is estimated to stem from the carbon black, which is a conductive material located between melted FEP and acts a path for electrons; the increasing mechanical properties are estimated to result from carbon black filling up pores in the composites.

The role of transfer films formed during sliding of polymer composites against steel counterfaces was studied in terms of the tribological behaviors of composites. Four kinds of composites were included in this study: (1) unfilled PPS, (2) PPS+2%CuO, (3) PPS+2%CuO+5% carbon fiber (CF), and (4) PPS+2%CuO+15%Kevlar. The filler material CuO was in nanoscale particulate form and the reinforcing material was in the form of short fibers. The composites were prepared by compression molding at $310^{\circ}C$ and sliding tests were run in the pin-on-disk sliding configuration. The counterface was made of tool steel hardened to 55-60 HRC and finished to a surface roughness of 0.09-0.10 ${\mu}m$ Ra. Wear tests were run for 6 hrs at the sliding speed of 1 m/s and contact pressure of 0.65 MPa. Transfer films formed on the counterfaces during sliding were investigated using AFM and SEM. The results showed that as the transfer film became smooth and uniform, wear rate decreased. PPS+2%CuO+15%Kevlar composite showed the lowest steady state wear rate in this study and its transfer film showed the smoothest and the most uniform characteristics. The examination of worn surfaces of PPS+2%CuO composite using X-ray area scanning (dot mapping) showed back-transfer of steel counterface material to the polymer pin surface. This behavior is believed to strengthen the polymer pin surface during sliding thereby contributing to the decrease in wear rate.

리튬이온전지의 음극재로 높은 이론적인 용량과 낮은 방전 전위 및 무독성을 가진 실리콘이 높은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 리튬이온전지의 고효율 음극재로 활용을 위한 실리콘-탄소나노튜브-탄소(Si-CNT-C) 복합체를 제조하였다. 복합체 제조를 위해서는 에어로졸 자기조립과 후 열처리 공정을 사용하였다. 제조된 Si-CNT-C 복합체는 구형이었으며 평균 입자크기는 $2.72{\mu}m$이었다. 복합체의 크기는 실리콘 및 탄소나노튜브의 농도가 증가할수록 커지는 것을 확인하였다. Si-CNT-C 복합체는 탄소나노튜브와 글루코스에서 탄화된 탄소가 실리콘 입자들을 중심으로 표면에 부착된 형태이었다. 제조된 Si-CNT-C 복합체는 전기화학 분석을 통해 순수한 실리콘보다 우수한 사이클 성능을 보여주고 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 시멘트계 건설재료의 작업성 증진을 위하여 나노버블수의 사용을 시도하였다. 사용된 나노버블수는 약 750 nm의 입경을 지닌 나노버블이 7% 포함된 배합수를 사용하였다. 초고성능콘크리트, 경량시멘트 복합체, 고강도 모르타르 등 다양한 시멘트 복합체에 나노버블수가 배합수로서 사용될 때 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. 작업성을 대표할 수 있는 플로우 값이 시편에 따라 3-22%정도 증진됨을 확인하였다. 하지만 압축강도에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 재료의 굳은 성질에 큰 영향 없이 시멘트 복합체의 작업성을 증진시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 나노버블수의 사용이 다양한 시멘트 복합체에 활용될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

The multi-scale analysis is more proper and precise for composite materials because of considering the individual microscopic structure and properties of each material for composite materials. The purpose of this study is to verify the validity of using palladium particles in carbon/fiber composites by multi-scale analysis. The palladium is a material for itself to detect leaking hydrogen by using the property of adsorbing hydrogen. The macroscopic model material properties used in this study are homogeneous material properties from microstructure. Homogenized material properties that are calculated from periodic boundary conditions in the microscopic representative volume element model of each macroscopic analysis model. In this study, three macroscopic models were used : carbon fiber/epoxy, carbon fiber/palladium, palladium/epoxy. As a result, adding palladium to carbon/epoxy composite is not a problem in terms of strength.

In this study, Mangifera Indica tree sawdust reinforced bisphenol-A aniline based benzoxazine composites were prepared by varying the sawdust from 20 wt% to 45 wt%. Thermogravimetric analysis of composites revealed excellent compatibility between polybenzoxazine and sawdust from the remarkable growth in char yield from 22% (neat resin) to 36% (for highly filled) and glass transition temperature from 151 to 165℃. Ultimate weight loss of the composites evaluated from the Derivatives of TG plots. Limiting oxygen index values of the composites reported considerable growth i.e.,from 28 to 32 along with the increase in filler content. Differential scanning calorimetry results showed that sawdust particles have an insignificant effect on curing temperature (219℃) for the raise in sawdust content. Structure of the sawdust, benzoxazine monomer, polybenzoxazine and composites were studied using Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy. Overall, polybenzoxazine composites with sawdust as filler showed improved thermal properties when compared with pure polybenzoxazine.

최근 국내에서도 지진의 발생 가능성이 증가하는 추세이며 교량, 터널 등과 같은 공공이용시설의 안전에 대한 우려도 증가하고 있다. 특히 1988년 이전 건설된 도시철도 시설물의 대부분은 내진설계가 반영되지 않아 내진안전성에 대한 검토와 보강이 요구되고 있다. 최근 가장 많이 연구되는 내진보강법인 섬유보강공법은 섬유의 특성은 우수하나 내진구조물의 취약점인 취성적이라는 것이 단점이다. 본 연구에서는 도시철도 개착식 터널의 내진성능 향상을 도모하기 위하여 FRP에 연성재료인 스틸과 알루미늄을 적층하여 새로운 FRP-연성재 적층 복합체를 제안하였다. FRP-연성재 적층 복합체의 인장 시험결과, 알루미늄 연성재를 사용한 경우 기존의 FRP 보강재보다 최대강도는 비슷하였으나 최대변형률이 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 FRP-알루미늄의 적층복합체는 연성이 요구되는 도시철도 개착식 터널에 적용할 경우 내진성능 향상에 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

The sliding wear behaviors of three different compositions of novel low temperature degradation-free zirconia/alumina (LTD-free Z/A) composites were examined in a ceramic-ceramic contact pair. The wear tests were performed by using a pin-on-disk type wear tester in a linear reciprocal sliding motion with a line contact in both dry and bovine serum lubricated conditions at room temperature. From the results of dry sliding wear tests, Z/A#1((5.3Y, 4.6Nb)-TZP/80 $vol\%Al_2O_3$) showed the best wear resistance among three kinds of LTD-free Z/A composites. For the bovine serum lubricated sliding wear tests, wear was too little to be measured for all kinds of Z/A composites. These novel LTD-free Z/A composites having excellent wear resistance demonstrated a potential as the alternative materials for the ceramic-ceramic contact pairs of femoral head and acetabular liner in total hip replacement.

A study of terahertz waves was made for the nondestructive evaluation of FRP (Fiber reinforced plastics) composite materials. The terahertz systems were consisted of time domain spectroscopy (TDS) and continuous wave (CW). The composite materials investigated include both non-conducting polymeric composites and conducting carbon fiber composites. Terahertz signals in the TDS mode resembles that of ultrasound; however, unlike ultrasound, a terahertz pulse was not able to detect a material with conductivity. The CFRP (Carbon fiber reinforced plastics) laminates were utilized for confirming the experimentation in the terahertz NDE. In carbon composites the penetration of terahertz waves is quite limited and the detection of flaws is strongly affected by the angle between the electric field direction of the terahertz waves and the intervening fiber directions. A refractive index (n) was defined as one of mechanical properties; so a method was obtained in order solve the "n" in the material with non-conductivity. The usefulness and limitations of terahertz radiation are investigated for the NDE of FRP composites.

본 논문에서는 미시 및 중시 역학의 2-단계 해석 전략을 채택하여 유연직물 복합재료의 기계적 거동을 예측하였다. 미시역학에서는 섬유다발의 유효물성치를 계산하였고 그 결과를 이용해 중시역학에서 유연직물복합재료의 인장탄성계수를 예측하였다. 중시역학 해석 과정에서는 섬유다발의 회전 및 전단 대변형에 의한 기하학적 비선형성을 고려하기 위하여 사용자 정의 부프로그램을 개발하여 ABAQUS 내에 삽입하였다. 해석결과, 인장하중을 받는 유연직물복합재료의 응력-변형률은 비선형 거동을 보였고, 계산된 유효탄성계수는 시험값과 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.
