Cure shrinkage during cure process of polymer matrix composites develope residual stress that cause some structural deformation, such as spring-in, spring-out and warpage. The carbon/epoxy prepreg used in this study is Hexply M21EV/34%/UD268NFS/IMA-12K supplied by Hexcel corp. Cure shrinkage and degree of cure measured by TMA(thermomechanical analyzer) and DSC(differential scanning calorimetry). Cure shrinkages are measured by TMA within a temperature range of $140{\sim}240^{\circ}C$ in a nitrogen atmosphere, and degree of cure determined by the heat of reaction using dynamic and isothermal DSC runs in argon atmosphere. As a result, the cure shrinkage is increased dramatically in a degree of cure range between 27~80%. the higher the cure temperature, the lower the degree of cure occurring to begin cure shrinkage.

Copolymer consisted of MMA and tBMA was synthesized by radical polymerization and poly(MMA-co-MA) was prepared by selective hydrolysis of tert-butyl group. The obtained polymer was coupled with epoxy functionalized PEO of various molecular weight to synthesize poly(MMA-co-PEGMA) with different side chain length. The AC-impedance measurement shows $1.88{\times}10^{-6}Scm^{-1}$ of room temperature ionic conductivity from 48mol% of MMA while $5.11{\times}10^{-8}Scm^{-1}$ was observed in 82mol% sample. In addition, there was an effect of PEGMA molecular weight on ionic conductivity possibly due to the steric hindrance in grafting-onto coupling reaction. Finally, the polymer electrolytes shows electrochemical stability up to 6V at room temperature.

This paper contains the experimental performance evaluation results of bond-type anchorage systems with the CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced polymer) tendon. The preliminary tests were performed to find the appropriate filling materials in the steel molds. A total of five materials including epoxy or cement mortar have been used as fillers in the steel molds. Results of the preliminary tests showed that specimen filled with non-shrinkage mortar showed maximum tensile strength. Based on the finding, the non-shrinkage mortar was selected as filler for anchoring CFRP tendons. Additional tests were performed as a parametric study to select proper size of steel molds such as external diameter, thickness, and length. The proper size of steel molds with non-shrinkage mortar was selected based on the test results, which gave stable tensile performance.

This research presents the structural performance and an improving technique for flexural capacity of road safety facilities based on the damage cases by wind pressure. Among road safety facilities, a support frame of soundproofing walls is considered as a prototype structure and its corresponding structural behaviors and section design are performed mainly by analytical and experimental studies. On the basis of analytical results, glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP) with an epoxy matrix which is high stiffness-to-weight ratio was used for applied one of strengthening techniques and their results shows that support frame strengthened by GFRP is the most effective compared to other cases proposed in this research for advancing its flexural improvement, Finally, optimum section design was performed analytically to evaluate wind-resistance capacity and its result would be very useful for developing a practical design guideline for Road safety facilities under strong wind.

본 연구에서는 에폭시/산무수물계에 경화촉진제를 첨가한 시료를 몰드(mold)내에서 등온 경화시킬 때 시료 내부의 온도변화를 측정하여 얻어진 온도-시간 곡선(temperature-time profile)을 조사하였다. 실험에 사용한 경화촉진제의 종류는 1-cyanoethy1-2-ethy1-4-methy1 imidazole(1E4MZ-CN), N,N-dimethy1 benzy1 amine(BDMA), 2,4,6-tris(dimethy1-aminomethy1)-phenol(DMP-30)이며 그들의 농도(c)는 1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,phr그리고 경화온도(T$_{cure}$ )는 65,70,85,95$^{\circ}C$로 하였다. 경화가 진행되는 동안 시료내부의 온도는 초기에 경화온도로 상승한 후 본격적인 경화 반응이 일어나기 시작하여 온도가 급격히 상승하였다가 다시 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 온도-시간 곡선상에 나타나는 온도가 최고로 상승되는 시점(t$_{peak}$ )과 그 때의 온도(T$_{peak}$ )는 촉진제의 종류와 농도 그리고 경화온도에 의하여 영향을 받았다. 사용한 경화촉진제중에 DMP-30이 가장 짧은 t$^{peak}$ 값을 가져 가장 우수한 촉진 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, T$_{peak}$ 는 촉진제의 농도와 경화온도가 증가할수록 상승하였다. 그리고 경화촉진제의 농도와 경화온도의 변화에 따른 t$_{peak}$ 과 T$_{peak}$ 의 변화를 보면 촉진제 농도와 경화온도가 낮을 때 그 변화가 민감하여 2E4MZ-CN 이 가장 민감한 촉진제로 나타났으며 또한 T$_{peak}$ 에 영향을 주는 여러가지 요소들을 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과로부터 자세히 살펴보았다.

Graphite particle/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite particles were mixed with an epoxy resin to impart the electrical conductivity in the composite materials. In this study, graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites with high filler loadings were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. Graphite particles were the main filler to increase the electrical conductivity of composites by direct contact between graphite particles. While high filler loadings are needed to attain good electrical conductivity, the composites becomes brittle. So carbon fiber was added to compensate weakened mechanical property. With increasing the carbon fiber loading ratio, the electrical conductivity gradually decreased because non-conducting regions were generated in the carbon fiber cluster among carbon fibers, while the flexural strength increased. In the case of carbon fiber 20wt.% of the total system, the electrical conductivity decreased 27%, whereas the flexural strength increased 12%.

In this study, hindered amine-grafted graphene oxide (HA-GO) with antioxidant properties was prepared and incorporated into Nafion-based composite membranes as an effective filler material for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications. HA-GO was synthesized via a ring-opening reaction between amine groups in 4-amino-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl piperidine and epoxy groups on the surface of GO. Nafion-based composite membranes containing different weight contents of HA-GO were fabricated to compare the polymer electrolyte membrane properties with those of the pure Nafion membrane. The composite membranes with HA-GO were found to have better mechanical properties, chemical stability, and proton conductivity than the pure Nafion membrane. In particular, the conductivity retention behavior confirmed by the decrease in proton conductivity after Fenton's test of the composite membranes was better than that of the pure Nafion membrane due to the incorporation of HA-GO with effective antioxidant properties.

Recently, research and development for a number of repairing material like an epoxy-based material and polymer-cementitious material as well as anti-washout underwater concrete have been carried out. But, the study on tile materials for the concrete structure exposed to a wetted condition is at a standstill and there are not any suitable reference data at a repairing work for the concrete structure at a splash as well as a structure under severe moisture condition. In this study, the material, called as “ceramic metal”, with an excellent mobility and plasticity as well as with a high bond strength and durability of freezing-thawing resistant properties under any environmental conditions was developed. And, the experimental evaluations for the utility wert widely performed.

The materials for an electronic packaging provide diverse important functions including electrical contact to transfer signals from devices, isolation to protect from the environment and a path for heat conduction away from the devices. The packaging materials composed of metals, ceramics, polymers or combinations are crucial to the device operating properly and reliably. The demand of effective charge and heat transfer continuous to be challenge for the high-speed and high-power devices. Nanomaterials including graphene, carbon nanotube and boron nitride, have been designed for the purpose of exploiting the high thermal, electrical and mechanical properties by combining in the matrix of metal or polymer. In addition, considering the inherent electrical and surface properties of graphene, it is expected that graphene would be a good candidate for the surface layer of a template in the electroforming process. In this talk, I will present recent our on-going works in nanomaterials for microelectronic packaging: 1) porous graphene/Cu for heat dissipations, 2) carbon-metal composites for interconnects and 3) nanomaterials-epoxy composites as a thermal interface materials for electronic packaging.

본 연구에서는 1-3형 PZT/Epoxy 압전복합재료를 제조하고 이에 대한 D-E 곡선, 펄스응답특성 및 유중발생전압특성 등을 조사하였다. 압전복합재료의 음향임피던스는 PZT체적비가 증가함에 따라 비례적으로 증가하였다. 그리고 펄스응답특성은 단일상 PZT의 특성에 비하여 아주 양호하게 나타났으며 PZT 체적비가 40% 이상에서는 펄스응답특성이 거의 일정하게 되었다. 유중에서의 발생전압은 PZT체적비, 시편두께 그리고 유중압력이 증가함에 따란 비례적으로 증가하였다. 이들의 결과는 초음파 트랜스듀서 제작에 좋은 자료가 될 것으로 생각한다.
