This work presents the tensile properties and water uptake behavior of plasma treated abaca fibers reinforced epoxy composites. The composites were prepared by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding. The effects of treatment on tensile properties and sorption characteristics of abaca fiber composites in distilled water and salt solution at room temperature were investigated. The tensile strength of the composites increased with plasma treatment. With plasma treatment, an improvement of 92.9% was obtained in 2.5 min exposure time in plasma. This is attributed to high fiber-matrix compatibility. Less improvement on tensile properties of hybrid treatment of sodium hydroxide and plasma was obtained. However, both treatments reduced overall water uptake in distilled water and salt solution. Hydrophilicity of the fibers decreased upon plasma and sodium hydroxide treatment, which decreases water uptake.

In this Paper, the variable dielectric breakdown strengths of epoxy composites were investigated at belling absorption condition in order to observe the influences of moisture in out door use. Also. in order to improve withstand voltage properties at moisture absorbtion condition, IPN(interpenetrating polymer network) method was Introduced and the Influence was investigated. As Adding filler(SiO$_2$) classified by o(phr), 50(phr) and 100[phr] to two kinds of matrix resin, six kinds of specimens were manufactured. As a result, it was confirmed that dielectric breakdown strength wer degraded with boiling time and filer content increasing. But, it was confirmed that dielectric breakdown strength degrading rate were lowered by the Improvement of adhesion strength in IPN specimens.

Despite of the excellent properties of carbon nanofiber, The properties of carbon nanofiber filled polymer composites were not increased largely. The reason is that it is still difficult to ensure the uniform dispersion of carbon nanofiber in a polymer matrix. In this study, For improvement properties of carbon nanofiber filled epoxy composites, the effect of dispersion was investigated. The compounds were prepared by two methods, solution blending and mechanical mixing. Mixing of solution blending method was used using ultrasonic. Dispersion of carbon nanofiber was observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). UV adsorption and turbidity measured by UV spectrometer was used for the comparison of dispersion of carbon nanofiber.

We fabricated MWNT-added glass fabric/epoxy composites. We observed the distribution of MWNTs in the composites using scanning electron microscopy and conformed that most of MWNTs exist in matrix rich region and interface between yams in warp and fill directions. We also investigated the change of permittivities with MWNT concentrations. Only $1wt\%$ MWNTs leads to high permittivity and electromagnetic waves are impossible to be transmitted to more than $3wt\%$ MWNT-added composites, which means the characteristics of these composites are comparable to those of metals or carbon fiber-reinforced composites.

Although the net-shape molding of composites is generally recommended, molded composites frequently requires cutting or grinding due to the dimensional inaccuracy for precision machine elements. During the composite machining operations such as cutting and grinding, the temperature at the grinding area may increase beyond the allowed limit due to the low thermal conductivity of composites, which might degrade the matrix of composite. Therefore, in this work, the temperature at the grinding point during surface grinding of carbon fiber epoxy composite was measured. The grinding temperature and surface roughness were also measured to investigate the surface grinding characteristics of the composites. The experiments were performed both under dry and wet grinding conditions with respect to cutting speed, feed speed, depth of cut and stacking angle. From the experimental investigation, the optimal conditions for the composite surface grinding were suggested.

By electrodeposition (ED) using a monomeric- and two polymeric coupling agents, the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of carbon fiber/epoxy composites was investigated by fragmentation test. ED results were compared with the dipping and the untreated cases under dry and wet conditions. Multi-fiber composites (MFC) were used for the direct comparison for the untreated and the treated cases. Various treating conditions including time, concentration and temperature were evaluated, respectively. Under dry and wet conditions ED treatment exhibited much higher IFSS improvement compared to the dipping and the untreated cases. Monomeric- and polymeric coupling agents exhibited the comparative IFSS improvement. Adsorption mechanism between coupling agents and carbon fiber was analyzed in terms of the electrolyte molecular interactions during ED process based on to the chain mobility. The microfailure modes occurring from the fiber break, matrix and interlayer cracks were correlated to IFSS.

In this paper, the physical and electrical properties of epoxy composites are investigated at boiling absorption condition to observe the influences of moisture. Also, in order to improve water resistance of matrix resin, IPN method was introduced and the influence was investigated. In order to analyze the basic physical properties of samples, scanning electron microscopy method was utilized, and impulse voltage dielectric strength was measured. As a result, it was verified that, in case of IPN samples, the ratio of moisture absorption was decreased due to the improvement of adhesion strength, and impulse voltage dielectric strength of SN sample was degraded abruptly as boiling time and filler content were increasing, while IPN samples were slowly degraded due to the improvement of adhesion strength.

Immobilization method of lariat azacrown ethers, containing hydroxyl group in the side arm of crown ring, on the polymer matrix and the phase-transfer catalytic activity of thus obtained immobilized lariat azacrown ethers were studied. Polystyrene resins with crown ether structures and hydroxyl groups adjacent to the macrorings were prepared by the reaction of crosslinked polystyrene resins containing epoxy groups with monoaza-15-crown-5 or monoaza-18-crown-6. Microporous crosslinked polystyrene resins containing epoxy group for the syntheses of these immobilized lariat crown catalysts were prepared by suspension polymerization of styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB 2%) and vinylbenzylglycidyl ether. The immobilized lariat catalysts with 10-20% ring substitution exhibited maximal activity for the halogen exchange reactions of 1-bromooctane with aqueous KI or NaI under triphase heterogeneous conditions. Immobilized catalyst exhibited higher activity than corresponding catalyst without the hydroxyl group and this result was suggested that the active site have a structure in which the $K^+$ ion was bound by the cooperative coordination of the crown ring donors and the hydroxyl group in the side arm.

탄소나노튜브(CNT)에 에폭시를 혼합시킬 경우, 에폭시를 희석시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 에폭시 희석조건이 CNT 분산도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과이다. 사용된 아세톤, DMF에 대한 희석방법이 에폭시 수지에 미치는 영향을, 기계적 강도 및 용해도로 확인하여 최적의 용매 조건을 선정하였다. 아세톤의 경우가 DMF보다 용해도 분산결과가 우수하였고, 기계적 강도가 높은 에폭시 수지 경화상태를 확인했다. CNT 입자를 혼합시키는 과정을 총 4가지 조건으로 실시하였다. 희석 및 분산 순서에 따른 영향을 확인하기 위해 전기저항 측정법과 빛 투과 분산도 평가방법으로 CNT 에폭시의 분산상태를 조사하였다. 기계적 물성 평가와 DSC를 이용한 열분석 방법으로 최적의 분산 조건을 구하였다. CNT를 분산시킨 4가지 중에서, 에폭시와 경화제를 각각 희석시킨 후 나노입자를 분산시키는 경우가 우수한 분산 결과를 나타내었다.

섬유와 수지 간 계면접착력은 복합재료 성능과 관련되므로 이를 정확하게 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는, 피로 하중 조건에서의 마이크로드롭렛 실험에 의한 계면접착력 평가를 실시하였다. 도파민이 적용된 에폭시 수지에 대하여 기계적 물성 및 계면접착력을 측정하였다. 기계적 물성을 평가하기 위해 인장 시편을 제작하였고, 계면 접착력 평가를 위하여 유리섬유에 에폭시 마이크로드롭렛을 만든 시편을 사용하였다. 특히 마이크로드롭렛 피로 실험 시 동일한 직경의 마이크로드롭렛을 사용하여 동일한 조건에서 실험하였다. 그 결과 인장 및 마이크로드롭렛 실험을 통해 에폭시 수지에 도파민이 적용될 때 기계 및 계면접착력이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 도파민이 에폭시 수지의 경화정도를 향상시키고 에폭시 수지에 하이드록실 그룹을 부여하여 기계적 물성 및 유리섬유 간 계면 접착력을 증가시켰을 것으로 사려된다.
