This paper investigated the damage transition mechanism between the fiber-breaking mode and the fiber-avoiding crack mode when the fiber-length is reduced in the unidirectional discontinuous carbon fiber-reinforced-plastics (CFRP) composites. The critical fiber-length for the transition is a key parameter for the manufacturing of flexible and high-strength CFRP composites with thermoset resin, because below this limit, we cannot take full advantage of the superior strength properties of fibers. For this discussion, we presented a numerical model for the microscopic damage and fracture of unidirectional discontinuous fiber-reinforced plastics. The model addressed the microscopic damage generated in these composites; the matrix crack with continuum damage mechanics model and the fiber breakage with the Weibull model for fiber strengths. With this numerical model, the damage transition behavior was discussed when the fiber length was varied. The comparison revealed that the length of discontinuous fibers in composites influences the formation and growth of the cluster of fiber-end damage, which causes the damage mode transition. Since the composite strength is significantly reduced below the critical fiber-length for the transition to fiber-avoiding crack mode, we should understand the damage mode transition appropriately with the analysis on the cluster growth of fiber-end damage.

Free-standing multilayer distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) porous silicon dielectric mirrors, prepared by electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon using square wave currents are treated with polystyrene to produce flexible, stable composite materials in which the porous silicon matrix is covered with caffeine-impregnated polystyrene. Optically encoded DBR PSi/polystyrene composite films retain the optical reflectivity. Optical characteristics of DBR PSi/polystyrene composite films are stable and robust for 2 hrs in a pH=7 aqueous buffer solution. The appearance of caffeine and change of DBR peak were simultaneously measured by UV-vis spectrometer and Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer, respectively.

리튬 덴드라이트의 효과적인 억제를 위해 유/무기 복합체를 리튬메탈 전극의 보호층으로 사용하였다. 유기물로는 PVDF-HFP가 사용되었으며 무기물로는 TiO₂가 사용되었다. 유기물로 사용된 PVDF-HFP는 높은 유연성을 가지는 고분자로서 무기물의 matrix 역할을 하며, 무기물로 사용된 TiO₂ 나노입자는 보호막의 기계적 강도와 이온전도성을 향상시켜주는 역할을 하였다. 합성된 보호막은 SEM, AFM, XRD를 통하여 PVDF-HFP matrix에 TiO₂가 잘 분산되어 있는 형태인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 전기화학적 분석 결과, 향상된 기계적 물성과 이온전도성으로 인해 polymer-inorganic composite은 비교 샘플(untreated 와 PVDF-HFP 보호층) 대비 100번째 사이클까지 80%의 높은 쿨롱 효율 및 20 mV 미만의 낮은 과전압을 나타내었다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of an indirect resin composite (IRC) to the various resin matrix ceramic (RMC) blocks using different surface treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ninety-nine cubic RMC specimens consisting of a resin nanoceramic (RNC), a polymer-infiltrated hybrid ceramic (PIHC), and a flexible hybrid ceramic (FHC) were divided randomly into three surface treatment subgroups (n = 11). In the experimental groups, untreated (Cnt), tribochemical silica coating (Tbc), and Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser irradiation (Lsr) with 3 W (150 mJ/pulse, 20 Hz for 20 sec.) were used as surface treatments. An indirect composite resin (IRC) was layered with a disc-shape mold ($2{\times}3mm$) onto the treated-ceramic surfaces and the specimens submitted to thermal cycling (6000 cycles, $5-55^{\circ}C$). The SBS test of specimens was performed using a universal testing machine and the specimens were examined with a scanning electron microscope to determine the failure mode. Data were statistically analyzed with two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey HSD test (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. According to the two-way ANOVA, only the surface treatment parameter was statistically significant (P<.05) on the SBS of IRC to RMC. The SBS values of Lsr-applied RMC groups were significantly higher than Cnt groups for each RMC material, (P<.05). Significant differences were also determined between Tbc surface treatment applied and untreated (Cnt) PIHC materials (P=.039). CONCLUSION. For promoting a reliable bond strength during characterization of RMC with IRC, Nd:YAG laser or Tbc surface treatment technique should be used, putting in consideration the microstructure and composition of RMC materials and appropriate parameters for each material.

광 발광성 (photoluminescence, PL)과 광 반사성(reflectivity)의 두 가지 광학적 성질을 동시에 가지고 있는 새로운 다층 DBR(distributed Bragg reflector) 다공성 실리콘 composite 필름을 개발하였다. 발광 효율이 높은 실리콘 고분자 폴리실올을 PMMA(polymethylmethacrylate)에 첨가하여 다층 DBR 다공성 실리콘 표면에 코팅을 한 composite 필름을 제조하였다. 이 composite 필름은 510 nm에서의 발광스펙트럼과 565 nm에서의 반사스펙트럼을 동시에 나타낸다. 이러한 composite 필름은 광학적 정보가 저장되어있고 물리적인 힘을 가하여도 그 광학적 정보를 잃지 않는 장점을 갖는다. 또한 다층 DBR 다공성 실리콘 필름은 쉽게 부서지는 단점 때문에 다루기가 어려운 반면 composite 필름은 고분자로 고형화 되어있으므로 기계적인 안정도를 증가시킬 수 있었다.

FRC/ceromer system provides the clinician with a durable, flexible, and esthetic alternative to conventional porcelain fused to metal crowns. FRC is the matrix which is silica-coated and embedded in a resin matrix. The ceromer material which is a second generation indirect composite resin contains silanized, microhybrid inorganic fillers embedded in a light-curing organic matrix. FRC/ceromer restoration has a several advantages: better shock absorption, less wear of occluding teeth, translucency, color stability, bonding ability to dental hard tissues, and resiliency. It has versatility of use including inlay, onlay, single crown, and esthetic veneers. With adhesive technique, it can be used for single tooth replacement in forms of inlay adhesion bridge. In single tooth missing case, conventional PFM bridge has been used for esthetic restoration. However, this restoration has several disadvantages such as high cost, potential framework distortion during fabrication, and difficulty in repairing fractures. Inlay adhesion bridge with FRC/ceromer would be a good alternative treatment plan. This article describes a cases restored with Targis/Vectris inlay adhesion bridge. Tooth preparation guide, fabrication procedure, and cementation procedure of this system will be dealt. The strength/weakness of this restoration will be mentioned, also. If it has been used appropriately in carefully selected case, it can satisfy not only dentist's demand of sparing dental hard tissue but also patient's desire of seeking a esthetic restorations with a natural appearance.

최근, 유연하며 몸에 부착 가능한 소자들에 대한 관심이 늘어나고 있다. 이런 관심을 뒷받침 하여 이와 관련된 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있는데, 기존 딱딱한 성질을 가진 소자에 사용되던 무기물 기반의 재료의 경우 유연 소자로 만들기에 여러 가지 제약이 있어 유연하게 제작할 수 있는 유기물 반도체나 탄소 나노튜브 필름 등을 이용한 소자들이 주로 연구되고 개발되어 왔다. 하지만 이런 재료들을 이용한 소자의 경우 유기물 분자와 분자 사이 또는 탄소 나노튜브와 나노튜브 사이에서 전하들이 산란되는 등 재료 자체의 한계로 인해 기존의 재료를 사용한 소자들보다 전기적 성능이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이런 단점들을 해결하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 수직 정렬된 반도체 결정 어레이를 투명 유연한 폴리머와 결합하는 방법을 이용, 고품질 나노/마이크로 반도체 결정을 유연한 기판으로 전사 시킬 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 위와 같은 구조는 재료에 가해지는 힘을 완화 시켜줄 수 있으며, 이로 인해 큰 변형에도 재료의 손상이 없는 소자 제작이 가능하다. 이런 구조를 구현하기 위해 위치 및 크기가 정교하게 제어된 ZnO 나노막대 단결정을 저온에서 용액공정을 통하여 합성시킨다. 이후 성장시킨 ZnO 단결정 어레이와 polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) 폴리머를 결합시킨 후 단단한 기판에서 기계적으로 박리시켜 ZnO/폴리머 복합체를 분리해 낸다. 추가적으로 전사된 ZnO의 결정성을 확인하기 위하여 photoluminescent 분석을 진행하였으며, ZnO/폴리머 복합체를 이용한 외부 힘에 반응하는 압력 센서를 제작하였다.

In this study, a series of flexible neutron/gamma shielding composites are fabricated through the doping of Gd₂O₃ into the matrix of SEBS with (M_Gd2O3: M_SEBS) % from 5% to 100%. Neutron transmittance test shows an exponential attenuation with the increase of areal density of Gd, in which the transmittance T ranges from 59.1440% to 35.3026%, with standard deviation less than 2.2743%, mass attenuation coefficient 𝜇_m from 0.3194 cm²/g to 0.4999 cm²/g, and half value layer-HVL value from 2.4530 mm to 1.1313 mm. Shielding efficiency of the Gd₂O₃/SEBS composites is basically improved in comparison with that of B₄C/SEBS. The transmittance T, mass/linear attenuation coefficient 𝜇_m and 𝜇, HVL and effective atomic number Z_eff for the shielding of γ rays (39 keV, 59 keV and 122 keV) are measured and calculated with XCOM as well as MCX programs. Finally, plots of the three dimensional relationships between transmittance, doping amount and thickness are provided to the guidance for engineering shielding design. In summary, the Gd₂O₃/SEBS composite is proved to be an effective flexible neutron/low energy γ rays shielding material, which could be of potential applications in the field of nuclear technology and nuclear engineering.

The characteristics of liquid crystal polymer composite(LCPC) films are possessed of large-area and flexible display, polarizer free, high contrast, wide angle of visual filed and high responsiveness. It is well known that the LCPC films consisting of a continuous LC phase embeded in a three-dimentional network of polymer matrix are formed by photopolymerization-induced phase separation. In this study, we have investigated the point that both liquid crystals and polymer having different properties have to coexiste as composed films. The purpose of this study has been the development of new application with liquid crystals and UV-curable monomers. In the results abtained on the miscibility of nematic liquid crystal and UV-curable resins, difunctional monomer HX-620 turned out to shows the best. From the results abtained on structures, electro-optical properties and dynamic visocoelasticity for LCPC films, the best mixing ratio of monomer to LC mixture were 3/7(photoinitiator; 4wt%) by weight, and this ratio has been provided the most thermal stability for LCPC films. In the results abtained on structure and discoloration properties of LCPC films, it has been demonstrated that consiste of a 8:2 mixture of chiral nematic liquid crystal and HX-620 has the greatest domain and it was the best discoloration.
