Epoxy resins are widely used in various industrial fields. However, they suffer from brittleness, an issue that must be addressed for further applications. To solve this problem, additional fillers are needed to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of the resins; zirconia is one such filler. However, it has been reported that aggregation may occur in the epoxy composites as the amount of zirconia increases, preventing enhancement of the mechanical strength of the epoxy composites. Herein, to reduce the aggregation, zirconia was well dispersed on halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), which have high thermal and mechanical strength, by a conventional wet impregnation method using zirconyl chloride octahydrate as a precursor. The mechanical and thermal strengths of the epoxy composites with The zirconia impregnated HNTs (Zr/HNT) were investigated. Zr/HNT were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thermal strength of the epoxy composites was studied by thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and the mechanical strength of the epoxy composites (flexural strength) was studied by using a universal testing machine (UTM). The mechanical and thermal strengths of the epoxy complex with Zr/HNT were improved compared to those of the epoxy complex with HNT, and also increased as the content of Zr/HNT increased.

본 연구는 에폭시의 난연 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 친환경, 저가, 고종횡비(high aspect ratio)를 갖는 무기계 난연첨가재인 일라이트를 사용하였고, 친수성 일라이트의 소수성 에폭시 내 분산 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 불소화 반응을 이용하여 인의 소수화 개질을 실시하였다. 일라이트의 불소화 개질에 의하여 경화 전 에폭시 용액 내에서 일라이트의 분산성 및 경화 후 형성된 복합체 내에서의 일라이트 분산성도 향상되었다. 이러한 분산성의 향상은 일라이트 불소화 개질로 인하여 소수화된 일라이트의 에폭시 용액에 대한 친화성 향상과 복합체 형성 시 에폭시 고분자의 일라이트 층간 삽입 혹은 에폭시에 의한 일라이트의 박리현상 등에 의하여 나타난 현상으로 판단된다. 따라서, 한계 산소 지수(limited oxygen index, LOI)는 일라이트의 불소화 영향으로 에폭시만의 값에 비해 약 24% 정도 증가한 것으로 보아 불소화 일라이트/에폭시 복합제의 제조로 에폭시의 난연 특성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper was studied on the characteristics of acid resistance and thermal shock for epoxy coatings in the strong acidic environment. The exhaust gas system, such as a air preheater, desulfurization equipment, for industrial boiler is damaged by dew point corrosion. To protect the acid corrosion, the coating using nonmetal was applied. The electrochemical polarization test, acid resistance and thermal shock test for epoxy coatings were carried out. And the acid resistance and thermal shock characteristics, aspect, and electrochemical anti-corrosion characteristics for epoxy coatings in the strong acidic environment were considered. The main results are as followings: As the epoxy glass flake coating by acidic thermal shock was damaged to the crack, blistering and elution etc., the current density of epoxy glass flake coating is high. But the damage of epoxy metal complex coating by acidic thermal shock was not occurred. Therefore the characteristics of acid resistance and thermal shock for epoxy metal complex coating is better than those for epoxy glass flake coating.

This paper presents a study on the permittivities of the E-glass fabric/epoxy composite laminates containing carbon black dispersions at microwave frequency. Measurement showed that the complex permittivities of the composites depend strongly on the natures and concentrations of the carbon black dispersion. A new scheme to obtain a mixing law for the estimation of complex permittivity is proposed. The experimental values of the complex permittivities were compared to those calculated. Simultaneously, the complex permittivity of carbon black itself was also calculated by the scheme.

본 연구에서는 MWNT(Multi-walled carbon nanotube)의 응집크기와 복소유전율의 관계를 수치해석적인 방법을 통하여 접근하였다. 이를 위하여 3-roll-mill 장비를 사용하여 1 wt% MWNT가 첨가된 에폭시 시편을 제작하였다. 제작된 시편은 X-band(8.2~12.4 GHz)에서 네트워크 분석기와 자유공간 측정 장비를 이용하여 복소유전율을 측정하였다. 측정된 복소유전율과 복소유전율 혼합 모델을 이용하여 에폭시와 MWNT 응집으로 이루어진 해석모델의 유전율을 결정하였다. 해석 모델은 앞서 말한 것과 같이 에폭시와 MWNT의 응집으로 이루어져 있으며, 정육면체 에폭시 내에 구 형태의 MWNT 응집을 가정하였다. 이에 따라 에폭시와 MWNT의 부피비율은 고정되며, 변수는 응집의 크기로 한정하였다. 수치해석은 상용 전자기 해석프로그램인 CST를 사용하였다. CST로부터 모델의 S-parameter를 얻었고, 복소유전율은 Nicolson 방법을 사용하여 얻었다. MATLAB으로 코드를 만들어 S-parameter 로부터 복소유전율을 얻었다. 수치해석 결과 응집의 크기가 작아질수록 복소유전율 값이 높아지는 모습을 살펴볼 수 있었으며, 이는 나노 입자의 이용에 있어서 분산도는 기계적인 특성뿐 아니라 전자기적 특성인 복소유전율에도 영향을 미친다고 볼 수 있으며, 같은 나노 입자 함량에서 분산도가 좋을수록 높은 복소유전율을 기대할 수 있다.

Epoxy resin has been used as matrix resin of advanced composites owing to ideally suitable properties and inherent physical and chemical properties for electrical and electronic insulation. In this paper, in order to evaluate the performance of epoxy composites for out door insulation, variations of tracking resistance were investigated on the complex ageing parameter. Also, IPN methods were introduced in order to improve performance for out door use. As a result, it was confirmed that tracking resistance were degraded with complex ageing parameters. But, it was confirmed that specimen of IPN structure have the better tracking resistance properties than SIN structure by moisture absorption aging.

The surface of nanosilica and microsilica was modified in order to develop a high voltage insulation material for outdoor application. The modified silicas were well dispersed in an aliphatic cyclic epoxy resin. Dielectric properties were studied for 8 kinds of specimens: 1 kind of neat epoxy, 3 kinds of epoxy/microsilica composites, and 4 kinds of epoxy/microsilica/nanosilica composites. Complex dielectric constants were measured in the range of 10-2~1.2 Hz at room temperature.

In this work, the complex permittivity of epoxy resins is measured. Epoxy resins, epoxy with micro size fillers and epoxy with micro+nano alumina composites have been evaluated for dielectric properties according to frequency variation. The dielectric spectroscopy measurement and analyses are carried out in the frequency range of $10^{-2}Hz$ to 1MHz and constant to room temperature. The results of dielectric loss suggest that significant improvement in the electrical performance can be expected by using samples containing nano and micro fillers mixture when compared to materials containing only microfillers. As the result, we verified the specific characteristics of dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss namely, relative permittivity become low with improving dispersibility of nano+micro mixture composites and become rise with agglomerate of nano particles.

Changes in chemical structure have profound effects on the physical properties of epoxy-based materials, and eventually affect the durability of the entire system. Microscopic structural voids generally existing in the epoxy cross-linked networks have a detrimental influence on the epoxy mechanical properties, but the relation remains elusive, which is hindered by the complex structure of epoxy-based materials. In this paper, we investigate the effect of structural voids on the epoxy-based materials by using our developed mesoscale model equipped with the concept of multiscale modeling, and SU-8 photoresist is used as a representative of epoxy-based materials. Developed from the results of full atomistic simulations, the mesoscopic model is validated against experimental measurements, which is suitable to describe the elastic deformation of epoxy-based materials over several orders of magnitude in time- and length scales. After that, a certain quantity of the structure voids is incorporated in the mesoscale model. It is found that the existence of structural voids reduces the tensile stiffness of the mesoscale epoxy network, when compared with the case without any voids in the model. In addition, it is noticed that a certain number of the structural voids have an insignificant effect on the epoxy elastic properties, and the mesoscale model containing structural voids is close to those found in real systems.
