The rapid prototyping (RP) technology has been advanced for various applications such as verification of design, functional test. However, many RP machines still have low accuracy and limitation of applications for various materials. In this research, a hybrid RP system was developed to improve precision of micro parts. This hybrid system consists of deposition and material removal process by mechanical micro machining to fabricate nano composites using photo-curable polymer resin with various nano particles. In this work, using hybrid RP process with Multi-Walled Carbon Nano Tube (MWCNT) and hydroxyapatite, micro parts were fabricated. The precision of parts was evaluated based on the original CAD design, and to see the effect of nano particles on mechanical properties, tensile strength was measured. From the results of experiments, it was confirmed that the part made by hybrid process had higher precision, and the addition of nano particles improved mechanical properties.

The materials showing high structure dispersion with functional properties were developed on the quartz base and those were obtained by mechano-chemical reaction technology. Depending on the processing conditions and subsequent applications the materials produced by mechano-chemical reaction show concurrently magnetic, dielectric and electrical properties. The obtained magnetic-electrical powders classified by aggregate complex of their features as segnetomagnetics, containing a dielectric material as a carrying nucleus, particularly the quartz on that surface one or more layers of different compounds were synthesized having thickness up to 1050nm showing magnetic, electrical properties and others. The similarity of the structure of surface layers of quartz particles subjected to mechano-chemical processing and nano-structure cluspol (clusters in a polymer matrics) material was alsoconfirmed by the fact that the characteristics of ferromagnetic quartz of insulating nano-composite powder were changed with time, after its preparing process was completed.

$Mn_3O_4$/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites are prepared by chemically synthesizing $Mn_3O_4$ nanoparticles on a MWCNT film at room temperature. Structural and morphological characterization has been carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM). These reveal that polycrystalline $Mn_3O_4$ nanoparticles, with sizes of about 10-20 nm, aggregate to form larger nanoparticles (50-200 nm), and the $Mn_3O_4$ nanoparticles are attached inhomogeneously on MWCNTs. The electrochemical behavior of the composites is analyzed by cyclic voltammetry experiment. The $Mn_3O_4$/MWCNT composite exhibits a specific capacitance of $257Fg^{-1}$ at a scan rate of $5mVs^{-1}$, which is about 3.5 times higher than that of the pure $Mn_3O_4$. Cycle-life tests show that the specific capacitance of the $Mn_3O_4$/MWCNT composite is stable up to 1000 cycles with about 85% capacitance retention, which is better than the pure $Mn_3O_4$ electrode. The improved supercapacitive performance of the $Mn_3O_4$/MWCNT composite electrode can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the $Mn_3O_4$ nanoparticles and the MWCNTs, which arises not only from the combination of pseudocapacitance from $Mn_3O_4$ nanoparticles and electric double layer capacitance from the MWCNTs but also from the increased surface area, pore volume and conducting property of the MWCNT network.

The $SiO_2$ membranes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) are preapared by electrospinning method. It leads to high porosity and surface area of membrane to accommodate the proton conducting materials. The composite membrane was prepared by impregnating of Nafion ionomer into the pores of electrospun $SiO_2$ membranes. The $SiO_2$:heteropolyacid (HPA) nano-particles as a inorganic proton conductor were prepared by microemulsion process and the particles are added to the Nafion ionomer. The characterization of the membranes was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and single cell performance test for PEMFC. The Nafion impregnated electrospun $SiO_2$ membrane showed good thermal stability, satisfactory mechanical properties and high proton conductivity. The addition of the $SiO_2$:HPA nano-particle improved proton conductivity of the composite membrane, which allow further extension for operation temperature in low humidity environments. The composite membrane exhibited a promising properties for the application in high temperature PEMFC.

In this study, Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is conducted with recurrence relation to study the effect of SiO₂ with different particle size and their roles in enhancing the ionic conductivity and lithium transference number of PMMA composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs). The MC simulated ionic conductivity is verified with the measurements from Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Then, the lithium transference number of CPEs is calculated using recurrence relation with the MC simulated current density and the reference transference number obtained. Incorporation of micron-size SiO₂ (≤10 ㎛) fillers into the mixture improves the ionic conductivity from 8.60×10^-5 S/cm to 2.35×10^-4 S/cm. The improvement is also observed on the lithium transference number, where it increases from 0.088 to 0.3757. Furthermore, the addition of nano-sized SiO₂ (≤12 nm) fillers further increases the ionic conductivity up towards 3.79×10^-4 S/cm and lithium transference number of 0.4105. The large effective surface area of SiO₂ fillers is responsible for the improvement in ionic conductivity and the transference number in PMMA composite polymer electrolytes.

Biocomposite was organized with biodegradable polymer and natural fiber that has potential to be used as replacement for glass fiber reinforced polymer composite with the benefits of low cost, low density, acceptable specific strength, biodegradability, etc. Until now, non-wood fibers have been used as reinforcements of biocomposite which are all plant-based fibers. The present study focused on investigating the fabrication and characterization of biocomposite reinforced with red algae fiber. The bleached red algae fiber(BRAF) showed very similar crystallinity to the cellulose. It has high stability against thermal degradation (maximum thermal decomposition temperature of 359.3$^{\circ}C$) and thermal expansion. Biocomposites reinforced with BRAF have been fabricated by a compression molding method and their mechanical and thermal properties have been studied. The storage modulus and the thermomechanical stability of PBS matrix are markedly improved with reinforcing the BRAF. These results support that the red algae fiber can be used as an excellent reinforcement of biocomposites as "green-composite" or "eco-composite".

Due to the high usage of ABS in industries, such as aerospace, auto, recreational devices, boat, submarines, etc., the purpose of this project was to find a way to weld this material, which gives advantages, such as affordable, high speed, and good connection quality. In this experimental project, the friction welding method was applied with parameters such as numerical control (NC) machine with two different speeds and three cross-sections, including a flat surface, cone, and step. After the end of the welding process, samples were then applied for both tensile and bending tests of materials, and the results showed that, with increasing the machining velocity Considering of samples, the friction of the surface increased and then caused to increase in the surface temperature. Considering mentioned contents, the melting temperature of composite materials increased. This can give a chance to have a better combination of Nanomaterial to base melted materials. Thus, the result showed that, with increasing the weight percentage (wt %) of Nanomaterials contents, and machining velocity, the mechanical behavior of welded area for all three types of samples were just increased. This enhancement is due to the better melting process on the welded area of different Nano contents; also, the results showed that the shape of the welding area could play a significant role, and by changing the shape, the results also changed drastically.A better shape for the welding process was dedicated to the step surface.

본 연구에서는 나노 입자의 카본블랙을 결정성 고분자에 분산시켜 특정한 온도에서 저항이 급격하게 증가하는 positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR) 특성을 연구하였다. 열가소성 수지를 이용한 PTCR 소재를 열처리에 의하여 고분자의 큐리온도를 조절할 수 있었다. 나노입자 카본블랙이 고분자 구조내에 고르게 분산이 되지 않고, 카본블랙의 함량이 과다하면 negative temperature coefficient resistance (NTCR) 현상이 발생하였다. 카본블랙의 함량과 내부전압을 조절함에 따라 발열 온도를 선정할 수 있었다. 카본블랙의 함량에 따라 전기 전도성이 다르게 나타났으며, 20 wt% 이상에서는 저항이 거의 일정하게 나타난다는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 PTCR 소재는 반복적인 가열 냉각에 따른 상온에서의 초기 저항의 변화가 거의 없어 재현성을 확인하였으며, 초기의 낮은 저항에 의한 순간적인 발열에 의하여 저온에서의 PTCR 성능이 향상되었다.

고분자 전해질 막 연료전지의 분리판 용 흑연/폴리프로필렌(PP)/액정고분자 (LCP) 복합소재의 기계적, 유변학 특성 및 전기전도도에 관하여 연구하였다. 저분자량 PP를 바인더로 사용하는 경우 다른 열가소성 고분자와 비교하여 상당히 높은 전기 전도도를 보임을 확인하였는데 이는 점도가 낮은 PP에 의해 흑연 입자의 분산이 향상되어 나타난 결과임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 탄소나노튜브를 소량 첨가하면 복합재료의 전기전도도가 크게 증가하였고 산처리를 하여 산소 관능기를 포함한 탄소나노튜브를 첨가했을 때에는 전기전도도의 증가가 거의 없었다. 이로부터 탄소나노튜브는 비극성 고분자와 친화도가 높음을 알 수 있었다. 저분자량 PP를 바인더로 사용하였을 때는 복합재료의 점도가 사출성형이 가능할 정도로 낮은 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 기계적인 강도는 다른 고분자에 비해 현저히 낮았다. 이를 보강하기 위하여 LCP를 혼합하여 복합재료를 제조한 결과 전반적인 물성 밸런스가 잘 맞는 복합재료를 얻을 수 있었다.
