We have prepared poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanocomposites filled with two different types of fumed silicas, hydrophilic (FS) and hydrophobic (MFS) silicas of 7-nm diameter, by in situ polymerization. We then investigated the morphological changes, rheological properties, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of the PET nanocomposites. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicate that the dispersibility of the fumed silica was improved effectively by in situ polymerization; in particular, MFS had better dispersibility than FS on the non-polar PET polymer. The crystallization behavior of the nanocomposites revealed a peculiar tendency: all the fillers acted as retarding agents for the crystallization of the PET nanocomposites. The incorporation of fumed silicas increased the intrinsic viscosities (IV) of the PET matrix, and the strong particleparticle interactions of the filler led to an increased melt viscosity. Additionally, the mechanical properties, toughness, and modules of the nano-composites all increased, even at low filler content.

In papermaking industry, inorganic fillers are widely used for the purpose of improving opacity, brightness, printability, uniformity and dimensional stability. They are also useful for production costs and energy savings. In the past, inorganic fillers in papermaking industry only focused on micro-scale but recently, new trials on nano-powdered technology are applying. Even nano-powdered fillers are rapidly utilized for improving the optical and surface properties in coating and surface sizing, there still have some problems in wet-end process due to poor dispersibility and retention. In this study, nano-particled calcium carbonate was produced by milling the PCC and its applicability between micro sized and nano sized calcium carbonated was compared in wet-end process, and finally the sheet properties were evaluated. Nano-PCC was not retained in sheet structure without applying retention system, but with retention system nano-powdered PCC was absorbed on fiber surface with expanding the fiber networks. The application of PAM-bentonite system has resulted in high ash retention and bulky structure for copier paper, and good optical properties in brightness and opacity. However, it required to solve the weakness of low tensile property due to interruption of hydrogen bonding by nano fillers.

Fireproofing polyolefin nanocomposite for the application of power distributing panel was prepared by compounding linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE), decabromodiphenyl oxide (DBDPO), $Sb_2O_3$ as flame retardant agents, and modified nano clay as filler. The optimized formulation ratio of compounds to prepare the fireproofing polyolefin nanocomposite was obtained. The flame retardant properties for nanocomposite prepared by compounding 22.5 phr of nano clay and 18 phr of DBDPO based on 100 phr of LLDPE were shown that the combustion time. 10${\sim}$18 s, combustion distance, 12${\sim}$15 mm and non-melt dropping characteristics. In particular. the content of DBDPO in nanocomposite could be decreased to 18 phr from 40 phr DBDPO for fireproofing composite containing 30 phr of clay. The electrical properties measured from tracking test, had an excellent antitracking properties by not showing the phenomenon of leakage current and sparking.

Polyester composites play a vital role in civil engineering applications, especially in bridge and car park structures. Therefore, the addition of waste silica-based fillers will both improve the mechanical and durability performance of composites and produce an environmentally friendly material. In this study, the mechanical performance of polyester composites was investigated experimentally and numerically by adding micro and nano-sized silica-based fillers, marble powder, silica fume and nano-silica. 24 cubes for the compression test and 18 prisms for the flexural test were produced in six different groups containing 30% marble powder, 5% silica fume and 1% nano-silica by weight. SEM/EDS testing was used to investigate the distribution of filler particles in the matrix. Experimentally collected results were used to validate tests in the Abaqus software. Additionally, the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) was used to estimate the fracture process for the flexural test. The results show that the added silica fume, marble powder and nano silica improves the compressive strength of polyester composites by 32-38% and the flexural tensile strength by 10-60% compared to pure polyester composite. The numerically obtained results matched well with the experimental data, demonstrating the accuracy and feasibility of the calibrated finite element model.

반응성기를 가지는 산무수물(maleic anhydride, MAH)을 폴리프로필렌(PP)에 도입함으로써 PP/극성 고분자의 블렌드 및 PP/filler의 복합소재 제조에서 계면과 계면 사이에 물리적 결합 이외의 화학적 결합을 향상시키고 기계적 특성 및 열적 특성을 극대화할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 개시제(di-cumyl periofide, DCP)와 MAH 함량에 따른 그래프트율을 FT-IR과 화학적 적정법(chemical titration)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 MAH의 함량이 증가할수록 그래프트율이 증가하였고 DCP의 함량이 0.06 wt% 일때에 가장 높은 그래프트율을 나타내었다. 또한, MAH의 함량에 따라 용융 흐름지수(melt index)가 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 용융온도 및 열 분해 등의 열적 거동은 시차주사열량계(DSC) 및 열중량 분석기(TGA)를 이용하여 MAH 그래프트율에 따른 변화를 분석하였다.

In this work, the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) of carbon nanotube/carbon fiber-reinforced HDPE matrix composites are investigated with various preparation conditions, such as the carbon fiber and carbon nanotube content, the presence of metal additives, as well as mixing speed and time. It was found that the EMI-SE of the composites increased with filler contents and metal additives. These results indicate that the content and length of carbonaceous fillers determine the electric networks in the composites, resulting in the control of the EMI-SE of the composites.

This research shows the electrical characteristic using excellent epoxy nano-composite of MgO 5.0 wt% and $SiO_2$ 0.4 wt% in mechanical strength test depending on nano-additive. First of all, volume resistance depending on nano-additive and temperature using high resistance meter (HP. 4329A) by increasing 10, 100, 1,000 V of applying voltage was measured. Moreover, temperature range of $25{\sim}120^{\circ}C$ with virgin sample was tested using TO-9B oven by Ando Company. The result showed that virgin and the samples added with MgO and $SiO_2$ had similar value of volume resistance in low temperature and low electric field region and reduced with slow slope. The nano-composite's volume resistance of sample added with MgO and $SiO_2$ had higher value than virgin sample's volume resistance in high temperature region more than $80^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the slope has steeply reduced. The volume resistance of sample added with MgO 5.0 wt% was $8.38{\times}10^{13}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and it was 6.8 times more than virgin sample in high temperature at $120^{\circ}C$. The insulation characteristics were constant although filler has changed in low temperature region. But, in high temperature region, the value of volume resistance of sample with MgO 5.0 wt% was 7.6 times more than the virgin sample's volume resistance.
