Engineering plastics have excellent electrical properties, mechanical strength and various characteristic which include chemical resistance, environmental resistance, weatherability at a wide temperature range. It has good characteristic(light weight, good productivity) as compare with epoxy or porcelain insulators. However, engineering plastics not suited to outdoor insulator because it isn't hydrophobic. Therefore, to over come these critical problems, we improve the surface insulation characteristics of engineering plastic by coating micro-, nano- size inorganic fillers added to RTV-SIR(Room temperature vulcanized-silicone rubber) at this plastic surface. The effect is analyzed through salt-fog test, tracking test. In conclusion, the engineering plastic coated RTV with micro-$Al_2O_3$20[phr], nano-Al(OH)3 1 ~ 3[phr] improved much better than the others.

In this study, a carbon nanotube (CNT) flexible strain sensor was fabricated with CNT based epoxy and rubber composites for tactile sensing. The flexible strain sensor can be fabricated as a long fibrous sensor and it also may be able to measure large deformation and contact information on a structure. The long and flexible sensor can be considered to be a continuous sensor like a dendrite of a neuron in the human body and we named the sensor as a biomimetic artificial neuron. For the application of the neuron in biomimetic engineering, an ANMS (Artificial Neuron Matrix System) was developed by means of the array of the neurons with a signal processing system. Moreover, a strain positioning algorithm was also developed to find localized tactile information of the ANMS with Labview for the application of an artificial e-skin.

In this paper, we attempt to improve the electrical characteristics of epoxy resin at high temperature (above $80^{\circ}C$) by adding magnesium oxide (MgO), which has high thermal conductivity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the dispersion of specimens with added MgO reveals that they are evenly dispersed without concentration. The dielectric breakdown characteristics of $SiO_2$ and MgO nanocomposites are tested by measurements at different temperatures to investigate the filler's effect on the dielectric breakdown characteristics. The dielectric breakdown strength of specimens with added $SiO_2$ decreases slowly below $80^{\circ}C$ (low temperature) but decreases rapidly above $80^{\circ}C$ (high temperature). However, the gradient of the dielectric breakdown strength of specimens with added MgO is slow at both low and high temperatures. The dielectric breakdown strength of specimens with 0.4 wt% $SiO_2$ is the best among the specimens with added $SiO_2$, and that of specimens with 3.0 wt% and 5.0 wt% MgO is the best among those with added MgO. Moreover, the dielectric strength of specimens with 3.0 wt% MgO at high temperatures is approximately 53.3% higher than that of specimens with added $SiO_2$ at $100^{\circ}C$, and that of specimens with 5.0 wt% of MgO is approximately 59.34% higher under the same conditions. The dielectric strength of MgO is believed to be superior to that of $SiO_2$ owing to enhanced thermal radiation because the thermal conductivity rate of MgO (approximately 42 $W/m{\cdot}K$) is approximately 32 times higher than that of $SiO_2$ (approximately 1.3 $W/m{\cdot}K$). We also confirmed that the allowable breakdown strength of specimens with added MgO at $100^{\circ}C$ is within the error range when the breakdown probability of all specimens is 40%. A breakdown probability of up to 40% represents a stable dielectric strength in machinery and apparatus design.

In this research, experimental tensile test and manufacturing of carbon nanotube reinforced composite beam (CNTRC) is presented. Also, bending, buckling, and vibration analysis of CNTRC based on various beam theories such as Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and Reddy beams are considered. At first, the experimental tensile tests are carried out for CNTRC and composite beams in order to obtain mechanical properties and then using Hamilton's principle the governing equations of motion are derived for Euler Bernoulli, Timoshenko and Reddy theories. The results have a good agreement with the obtained results by similar researches and it is shown that adding just two percent of carbon nanotubes increases dimensionless fundamental frequency and critical buckling load as well as decreases transverse deflection of composite beams. Also, the influences of different manufacturing processes such as hand layup and industrial methods using vacuum pump on composite properties are investigated. In these composite beams, glass fibers used in an epoxy matrix and for producing CNTRC, CNTs are applied as reinforcement particles. Applying two percent of CNTs leads to increase the mechanical properties and increases natural frequencies and critical buckling load and decreases deflection. The obtained natural frequencies and critical buckling load by theoretical method are higher than other methods, because there are some inevitable errors in industrial and hand layup method. Also, the minimum deflection occurs for theoretical methods, in bending analysis. In this study, Young's and shear modulli as well as density are obtained by experimental test and have not been used from the results of other researches. Then the theoretical analysis such as bending, buckling and vibration are considered by using the obtained mechanical properties of this research.

유체 이송에 사용되는 강재 파이프는 신설과 도장, 또는 부식과 노후화로 인한 제반 시설 보수에 거대한 규모의 시간과 비용이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강재 파이프의 대체재로, 내부식성과 내화학성이 우수한 탄소섬유강화복합재료(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, CFRP) 파이프 구조의 최적화 설계를 수행하였다. 헬리컬 패턴 표면에 후프 패턴을 혼합적층하여 내구성을 향상시켰으며, 수분 환경에서의 에폭시 흡습 현상을 억제하기 위해, 할로이사이트 나노튜브(Halloysite Nanotube, HNT)를 첨가하였다. HNT/CFRP 파이프는 필라멘트 와인딩 공정으로 제작하였으며, 기계적 물성 시험과 70℃ 고온 증류수 환경하에서 흡습 시험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 파이프 두께의 0.6%에 해당하는 후프 패턴의 적층 시, 가장 우수한 물성을 나타냈다. 또한 0.5 wt.% HNT 첨가 시 상대적으로 높은 내흡습성을 가졌으며, 층간 계면에서의 박리 현상이 지연되어 가장 낮은 강도 저하율을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 CNT섬유에 적합한 복합소재 공정방법에 대해 연구하였다. CNT섬유가 아직 초기 연구단계로 생산성이 낮아 직조나 스티칭된 UD필름 제작이 어려운 점을 감안, 연구단계에서 적용 가능한 CNT섬유 복합소재 제조법을 개발하고자 하였다. 기존의 CNT섬유 기반 복합소재는 생산성 이슈 및 공정 적용의 어려움으로 인해 주로 single filament composite의 형태로 제조하거나 filament winding법을 이용하여 제조되고 있었으나, 본 연구를 통해서 필름 형상으로 준비된 CNT섬유에 수지를 함침한 후 바로 복합소재화 할 수 있는 공정을 개발할 수 있었다. CNT섬유에는 내부에 수많은 나노포어가 존재하기 때문에 이 부분에 수지가 함침됨에 따라 성형된 복합소재에서 수지의 비율이 과도하게 올라가는 문제가 있기 때문에, 이를 해결하는 것이 가장 핵심적인 이슈라 할 수 있다. VaRTM을 통해서 가해지는 압력은 과량의 수지 제거에는 충분하지 않았으며, 높은 힘으로 누르는 hot press 공정과, 섬유는 고정하면서 과량의 수지를 제거할 수 있는 폼 소재를 도입함으로써 높은 섬유비율을 가지는 CNT 섬유 복합소재를 제조할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 희석된 수지까지 이용하였을 때, 58.5 wt%의 질량비의 섬유로 구성된 CNT섬유 복합소재를 제조할 수 있었고, 비강도는 0.525 N/tex를 달성하였다. 본 연구는 향후 CNT섬유 복합소재 제조에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 공정 방법을 제시하였다.
