탄소섬유 복합재료의 전기전도도와 기계적 강도를 높이기 위하여 음극 및 양극 전기영동법을 이용하여 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)와 탄소나노섬유(CNF)를 탄소섬유직물에 부착하였다. 양극 전기영동에서는 MWCNT와 CNF의 탄소나노 입자들만이 탄소 섬유에 부착되었으나, 음극 전기영동에서는 MWCNT와 CNF 및 나노 크기의 구리 입자가 동시에 탄소섬유직물에 부착되었고 이에 따라 부착 밀도 및 복합재료 물성의 증대라는 시너지 효과를 거둘 수 있었다. 특히 나노 크기의 탄소나노입자 및 마이크로 크기의 탄소 섬유가 혼합된 멀티스케일 복합재료의 제조를 통해 두께 방향 전기전도도의 높은 향상을 얻었다. 또한 MWCNT와 CNF를 동시에 멀티스케일 복합재료에 적용하였을 경우, 각각을 적용한 경우보다 두께 방향 전기전도도가 높게 나타났다.

To move forward in large steps rather than in small increments, the community would benefit from a systematic and comprehensive database of multi-scale composites and measured properties, driven by comprehensive studies with a full range of types of fiber-reinforced polymers. The multi-scale hierarchy is a promising chemical approach that provides superior performance in synergistically integrated microstructured fibers and nanostructured materials in composite applications. Achieving high-efficiency thermal conductivity and mechanical properties with a simple surface treatment on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is important for multi-scale composites. The main purpose of the project is to introduce ozone-treated SWCNTs between an epoxy matrix and basalt fibers to improve mechanical properties and thermal conductivity by enhancing dispersion and interfacial adhesion. The obvious advantage of this approach is that it is much more effective than the conventional approach at improving the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of materials under an equivalent load, and shows particularly significant improvement for high loads. Such an effort could accelerate the conversion of multi-scale composites into high performance materials and provide more rational guidance and fundamental understanding towards realizing the theoretical limits of thermal and mechanical properties.

The high cost of ultra-high-performance engineered cementitious composite (UHP-ECC) is currently a crucial issue, especially in terms of the polyethylene (PE) fibers use. In this paper, cheap calcium carbonate whiskers (CW) were evaluated on the feasibility of hybrid with PE fibers. Diverse combinations of PE fibers and CW were employed to investigate the multi-scale enhancement on the UHP-ECC performance. A probabilistic-based UHP-ECC tensile strain reliability analysis approach was utilized, which was in general agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, a multi-dimensional integrated representation was conducted for the comprehensive assessment of UHP-ECC. Results illustrated that CW improved the compressive strength and energy dissipation capacity of UHP-ECC owing to the microscopic strengthening mechanism. CW and PE fiber further promoted the saturated cracking of composite by multi-scale crack arresting effect. In particular, PE1.75-CW0.5 specimen possessed the best overall performance. The ultimate cracking width of PE1.75-CW0.5 group had 98 ㎛, which was 46.18% lower compared to PE2-CW0 group, the 28d compressive strength were slightly improved, the tensile strain capacity was comparable to that of PE2-CW0 group. The results above demonstrated that combinations of PE fiber and CW could significantly enhance the comprehensive performance of UHP-ECC, which was beneficial for large-scale engineering applications.

본 논문은 멀티스케일 공정-구조 해석의 방법론을 제안하고 단섬유층과 직물층으로 이루어진 배터리 하우징 파트에 적용한다. 특별히 마이크로스케일 대표체적요소(RVE: Representative Volume Element)안 기지의 불확정성을 고려하였다. 마이크로스케일의 RVE내 기지 물성의 랜덤한 공간내 분포는 KLE(Karhunen-Loeve Expansion)을 통해 구현하였다. 공간상 랜덤분포된 기지 물성을 갖는 RVE의 유효 물성을 전산균질화를 통해 얻어 매크로스케일 유한요소 모델에 매핑하였다. 또한 하이브리드 공정해석을 통해 압축 성형 해석으로부터 얻은 잔류응력과 섬유배향을 매핑한 유한요소 모델과 드레이핑 공정 해석결과로부터 얻어진 섬유배향을 매핑한 모델을 결합하였다. 본 연구에 제안된 방법은 배터리 하우징 뿐만 아니라 다양한 재료 구성을 갖는 복합재료의 공정-구조해석을 통해 설계요구도를 엄밀하게 평가할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.
