음향작동기의 응용으로, CNT, ITO와 xGnP로 코팅된 PVDF 나노복합재료의 계면접착 내구성과 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. CNT, ITO와 xGnP의 고유 전기적 특성으로 인하여 xGnP로 코팅된 나노복합재료가 CNT, ITO 경우보다 다소 낮은 전기저항을 나타내었으나, 모두 양호한 음향특성을 보여주었다. 나노복합재료의 계면 내구성은 정적 접촉각 시험을 통해 미처리 CNT 와 플라즈마 처리된 CNT 그리고 플라즈마 처리된 PVDF간의 표면에너지, 접착일, 그리고 퍼짐계수를 평가하여 계면 내구성과의 상호 관련성을 확인하였다. 음향 작동기로서 xGnP 나노복합재료의 최적의 작동성은 시편의 곡률반경, 코팅정도를 달리 하여 음향 측정기를 사용하여 음향특성을 측정하였다. 나노재료의 고유의 전기적 특성으로 인하여 xGnP가 CNT나 ITO보다 음향작동기로서 더 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 곡률반경이 약 15도일 때 가장 적합하며, 코팅두께에 따라 음향특성이 차이가 나지만 투명도도 좋으면서 음향특성도 우수한 음향 작동기를 제작할 수 있었다.

In the present study, exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) with different particle sizes were coated onto polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers by a direct coating method. The flexural properties, interlaminar shear strength, and the morphology of the xGnP-coated carbon fiber/phenolic matrix composites were investigated in terms of their longitudinal flexural strength and modulus, interlaminar shear strength, and by optical and scanning electron microscopic observations. The results were compared with a phenolic matrix composite counterpart prepared without xGnP. The flexural properties and interlaminar shear strength of the xGnP-coated carbon fiber/phenolic matrix composites were found to be higher than those of the uncoated composite. The flexural and interlaminar shear strengths were affected by the particle size of the xGnP, while the particle size had no significant effect on the flexural modulus. It seems that the interfacial contacts between the xGnP-coated carbon fibers and the phenolic matrix play a role in enhancing the flexural strength as well as the interlaminar shear strength of the composites.

We report a covalent functionalization of graphene nanoparticles (GnPs) employing 2,3,4-Tri-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranosyl azide followed by fabrication of an epoxy/functionalized graphene nanocomposite and an evaluation of its thermo-mechanical performance. Successful functionalization of GnP was confirmed via thermal and spectroscopic study. Raman spectroscopy indicated that the functionalization was on the edge of the graphene sheets; the basal plane was not perturbed as a result of the functionalization. The epoxy/functionalized GnP composite system exhibited an increase in flexural modulus (~18%) and glass transition temperature (${\sim}10^{\circ}C$) compared to an un-functionalized GnP based epoxy composite.

The synthesis and solution properties of polyglycerol alkyl ether($R_{12}Gn$) are described. The phase behavior, surface tension, cloud point and HLB value of polyglycerol dodecyl ether in aqueous solution and in mixed solution of surfactant /water /oil have been investigated and compared with values of polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether. The surface tension showed that $R_{12}Gn$ have sufficiently low values of surface tension and cmc to serve as useful polyoxyethylene alkyl ether. The mesophases appearing in the $R_{12}Gn$ systems were more stable in a high temperature range than the mesophases of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether systems. The cloud point and HLB data indicated that addition of one glycerol group was equivalent to the addition of three oxyethylene group units, as far as the hydrophilic property was concerned. The phase diagrams of the polyglycerol alkyl ether /dodecane /water systems showed that the solubilizing and emulsifying powers of $R_{12}Gn$ were greater than those of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether. It is concluded that the polyglycerol chain can be even more useful as hydrophilic group of nonionic surfactants than the polyoxyethylene chain.

Graphene is one of the most promising materials for many applications. It can be used in a variety of applications not only as a reinforcement material for polymer to obtain a combination of desirable mechanical, electrical, thermal, and barrier properties in the resulting nanocomposite but also as a component in energy storage, fuel cells, solar cells, sensors, and batteries. Recent research at Michigan State University has shown that it is possible to exfoliate natural graphite into graphite nanoplatelets composed entirely of stacks of graphene. The size of the platelets can be controlled from less than 10 nm in thickness and diameters of any size from sub-micron to 15 microns or greater. In this study we have investigated the influence of melt compounding processing on the physical properties of a polyamide 6 (PA6) nanocomposite reinforced with exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP). The morphology, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties of xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite were characterized with electrical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, AC impedance, and mechanical properties. It was found that counter rotation (CNR) twins crew processed xGnP/PA6 nanocomposite had similar mechanical properties with co-rotation (CoR) twin screw processed or with CoR conducted with a screw design modified for nanoparticles (MCoR). Microscopy showed that the CNR processed nanocomposite had better xGnP dispersion than the (CoR) twin screw processed and modified screw (MCoR) processed ones. It was also found that the CNR processed nanocomposite at a given xGnP content showed the lowest graphite X-ray diffraction peak at $26.5^{\circ}$ indicating better xGnP dispersion in the nanocomposite. In addition, it was also found that the electrical conductivity of the CNR processed 12 wt.% xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite is more than ten times higher than the CoR and MCoR processed ones. These results indicate that better dispersion of an xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite is attainable in CNR twins crew processing than conventional CoR processing.

n-octadecnae based shape stabilized phase change material (SSPCM) was prepared by using vacuum impregnation method. And an exfoliated graphite nanoplate (xGnP) which has high thermal conductivity properties is used as a PCM container. And then we made heat storage concretes which contains SSPCM for reducing heating and cooling load in buildings. In the prepararion process, the SSPCM was mixed to a concrete as 10, 20 and 30wt% of cement weight. The thermal properties and chemical properties of heat storage concrete were analyzed from Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transformation infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), Deferential scanning calorimeter (DSC), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and TCi thermal conductivity analyzer. And we conducted surface temperature analysis of SSPCM and xGnP by using heat plate and insulation mold.

석재는 주로 장식용 및 조각용으로 사용되며 따라서 우수한 물성도 골고루 지녀야 한다. 다양한 물성 중에서 공극계수가 석재의 유용성을 지배하므로 공극의 성질과 연관하여 석재의 품질구분 설정을 시도하였다. 이 연구에서는 화강암질암류 및 화강암질편마암의 심도별 시추코아 시료가 사용되었다. 공극률과 흡수율의 상관도에서 문경 화강암질편마암($Gn_1$)의 측정치 범위가 가장 넓은 분포상을 보이며, 포천화강암($Gr_2$), 문경화강암($Gr_1$)의 순으로 그 범위는 감소한다. 각 암체의 강도는 변질도에 따라 변화한다. 또한 압축강도와 인장강도와의 상관성에서도 측정치의 범위는 $Gn_1$, $Gr_2$ 그리고 $Gr_1$의 순으로 감소한다. 석재의 품질구분 설정에 있어 공극률이 대표적인 물성으로 채택되어 여러 물성에 대한 상대적인 평가가 이루어졌다. 공극률(n)-비중(G), 흡수율(Ab), 압축강도(${\sigma}_c$), 인장강도(${\sigma}_t$), 쇼아경도(Hs) 그리고 탄성계수($E_{t}$)와의 상관도에서 각 등급별 기준이 설정된다.

A ${\ast}-ring$ R is called ${\ast}-regular$ if every principal one-sided ideal of R is generated by a projection. In this note, several characterizations of ${\ast}-regular$ rings are provided. In particular, it is shown that a matrix ring $M_n(R)$ is ${\ast}-regular$ if and only if R is regular and $1+x^*_1x_1+{\cdots}+x^*_{n-1}x_{n-1}$ is a unit for all $x_i$ of R; which answers a question raised in the literature recently.

Synthesis of RGO (reduced graphene oxide)-CdS composite material was performed through CBD (chemical bath deposition) method in which graphene oxide served as the support and Cadmium Sulfate Hydrate as the starting material. Graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted extensive attention due to their usefulness for environmental and energy applications. The band gap (2.4 eV) of CdS corresponds well with the spectrum of sunlight because the crystalline phase, size, morphology, specic surface area and defects, etc., of CdS can affect its photocatalytic activity. The specific surface structure (morphology) of the photocatalyst can be effective for the suppression of recombination between photogenerated electrons and holes. Graphene (GN) has unique properties such as a high value of Young's modulus, large theoretical specific surface area, excellent thermal conductivity, high mobility of charge carriers, and good optical transmittance. These excellent properties make GN an ideal building block in nanocomposites. It can act as an excellent electron-acceptor/transport material. Therefore, the morphology, structural characterization and crystal structure were observed using various analytical tools, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. From this analysis, it is shown that CdS particles were well dispersed uniformly in the RGO sheet. Furthermore, the photocatalytic property of the resulting RGO-CdS composite is also discussed in relation to environmental applications such as the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. It was found that the prepared RGO-CdS nanocomposites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared with that of CdS nanoparticles. Therefore, better efficiency of photodegradation was found for water purification applications using RGO-CdS composite.

In this paper, the dependence of Ni-silicide properties such as sheet resistance and cross-sectional profile on the dopants have been characterized. There was little dependence of sheet resistance on the used dopants such as As, P, $BF_{2}$ and $B_{11}$ just after RTP (Rapid Thermal Process). However, the silicide properties showed strong dependence on the dopants when thermal treatment was applied after formation of Ni-silicide. $BF_{2}$ implanted sample shows the best stable property, while $B_{11}$ implanted one was thermally unstable. The main reason of the excellent property of $BF_{2}$ sample is believed to be the retardation of Ni diffusion by the flourine.
