This paper introduces a new structural health monitoring using a nano sensor. The sensor is made of nano smart composite material based on carbon nanotubes. The nano sensor is fabricated as a thin and narrow polymer film sensor that is bonded or deposited onto a structure. The electrochemical impedance and dynamic strain response of the neuron change due to deterioration of the structure where the sensor is located. A network of the long nano sensorcan form a structural neural system to provide large area coverage and an assurance of the operational health of a structure without the need for actuators and complex wave propagation analyses that are used with other methods.

This study introduces a facile strategy to prepare metal oxide/conducting polymer nanocomposites that may have promising applications in energy storage devices. Ploy aniline/nano wire manganese dioxide (PANI/NwMnO₂) was synthesized by cyclic voltammetry on glassy carbon electrode. Morphology and structure of the composite, pure PANI, MnO₂ nanowires were fully characterized using XRD and SEM analysis. Electrochemical studies shows excellent synergistic effect between PANI and MnO₂ nanowires which results in its capacitance increase and cycle stability against PANI electrode. Specific capacitances of PANI/NwMnO₂ and PANI were 456 and 190 F/g respectively. The electrochemical performance of electrodes studied using cyclic voltammetry, Galvanostatic charge/discharge and impedance spectroscopy.

Poly(o-ethoxy)aniline (PEOA)/organoclay nanocomposite was prepared via a solvent intercalation using chloroform as a cosolvent with organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) clay. The PEOA initially synthesized from a chemical oxidation polymerization in an acidic condition at pH = 1 was intercalated into interlayers of the clay with $25\;wt{\%}$ clay content. Electrical conductivity of the PEOA/OMMT nano­composite was found to be controlled via the intercalating process. The synthesized PEOA/OMMT nano­composite was characterized via an XRD and a TGA, and then adopted as an electrorheological (ER) material. The PEOA/OMMT synthesized with controllable electrical conductivity without a dedoping pro­cess was found to show typical ER characteristics possessing a yield stress from both steady state and dynamic measurements under an applied electric field.

Polystyrene/gold nanoparticle (PS/AuNP) composite fibers were fabricated using an electrospinning technique. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the diameters of the naphthalenethiol-capped gold nanoparticles (prior to incorporation into the PS fibers) ranged from 2 to 5 nm. UV-vis spectroscopy revealed the surface plasmon peaks of the gold nanoparticles centered at approximately 512 nm, indicating that nano-sized Au particles are well-dispersed in solution. This was consistent with the TEM observations. The electrospun nanofibers of PS/AuNP composites were approximately 60-3,000 nm in diameter. The surface morphology of the PS/AuNP composite and the dispersability of the Au nanoparticles inside of PS after electrospinning process were investigated by SEM and TEM. The thermal behavior of the pure PS and PS/AuNP nanocomposites and fibers were examined by DSC.

폴리머 복합체는 우수한 강도와 내구성으로 건설현장에서 프리캐스트 부재 및 보수, 보강재로서 널리 쓰이고 있어 폴리머 복합체의 경제성 및 성능 향상에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 폴리머 나노 복합체는 나노미터 수준의 크기를 가진 Clay 등의 무기 물질을 나노분산 상으로 폴리머에 균일 혼합시킨 것으로 산업적 응용가능성 면에서 뿐만 아니라 재료 및 공학분야에서도 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 그리고 기존의 복합체 보다 1/10 혹은 그 이상의 낮은 함량의 분산상만으로도 더 우수한 강도와 역학적 특성 및 열안정성을 나타낸다. 본 실험에서는 폴리머 복합체의 성능을 향상시키고자 유기화된 몬모릴로나이트(MMT)와 유기화 되지 않은 몬모릴로나이트(MMT)를 사용하여 박리된 MMT-UP 나노 복합체를 제조하였다. XRD와 TEM실험결과, Cloisite 30B-UP 나노 복합체에서 층과 층 사이가 $100{\AA}$ 이상 떨어져 단일층으로 분산되었기 때문에 박리가 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 역학적 특성은 기존복합체보다 인장강도와 인장탄성계수을 비교하였을 때 매우 향상됨을 알 수 있었고 열적 특성도 기존복합체보다 우수한 함을 나타내었다. 박리정도가 우수한 MMT-UP 복합체로 제조한 폴리머 콘크리트에서도 순수한 UP를 사용한 것보다 역학적 특성이 두드러졌다. 또한 폴리머 콘크리트의 강도와 탄성계수는 MMT-UP 복합체의 인장강도 및 인장탄성계수와 상관성을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.

생체적합성 및 생분해성의 장점을 지닌 PLGA는 우수한 기계적 성질과 분해속도를 조절할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있지만 소수성으로 인해 세포의 초기부착률이 낮고, 지지체 내부에 영양액의 공급이 원활하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하고자 탈미네랄화된 골분(DBP, demineralized bone particle) 젤을 PLGA 지지체에 함침시켰다. 다양한 형태의 지지체 압축강도를 측정한 결과 PLGA/DBP 지지체가 연골과 비슷한 강도를 가지고 있었으며, 이를 바탕으로 DBP젤을 함침시킨 PLGA/DBP젤 지지체를 제작하였다. 연골세포를 파종하여 in vivo 실험을 진행하였고 조직화 정도를 확인하기 위해 H&E, Safranin-O, Alcian blue, Collagen type I 및 Collagen type II 염색을 실시하였다. 그 결과 DBP를 함침시킨 PLGA 지지체에서 GAG, Collagen type I 및 Collagen type II의 높은 발현과 조직화를 보여 연골조직으로 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Background: The objective of this study was to make colloidal dispersions of the active compounds of radix of Angelica gigas Nakai that could be charaterized as nano-composites using hot melt extrusion (HME). Food grade hydrophilic polymer matrices were used to disperse these compound in aqueous media. Methods and Results: Extrudate solid formulations (ESFs) mediated by various HPMCs (hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses) and Na-Alg polymers made from ultrafine powder of the radix of Angelica gigas Nakai were developed through a physical crosslink method (HME) using an ionization agent (treatment with acetic acid) and different food grade polymers [HPMCs, such as HP55, CN40H, AN6 and sodium alignate (Na-Alg)]. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the amorphization of crystal compounds in the HP55-mediated extrudate solid formulation (HP55-ESF). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis indicated a lower enthalpy (${\Delta}H=10.62J/g$) of glass transition temperature (Tg) in the HP55-ESF than in the other formulations. Infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed that new functional groups were produced in the HP55-ESF. The content of phenolic compounds, flavonoid (including decursin and decursinol angelate) content, and antioxidant activity increased by 5, 10, and 2 times in the HP55-ESF, respectively. The production of water soluble (61.5%) nano-sized (323 nm) particles was achieved in the HP55-ESF. Conclusions: Nano-composites were developed herein utilizing melt-extruded solid dispersion technology, including food grade polymer enhanced nano dispersion (< 500 nm) of active compounds from the radix of Angelica gigas Nakai with enhanced solubility and bioavailability. These nano-composites of the radix of Angelica gigas Nakai can be developed and marketed as products with high therapeutic performance.

Considering the properties of the carbon nano tubes (CNT), their inclusion into the polymer matrix vastly increases the properties of the resultant composite. However, this is not the case due to the poor interfacial adhesion of the CNT and the polymer matrix. The present approach focuses on increasing the interaction between the polymer matrix and the CNT through the chemical modification of the CNT resulting in allyl ester functionalized carbon nanotubes (ACNT) and silane functionalized carbon nano tubes (SCNT) which are capable of reacting with the polymer matrix during the curing reaction. The addition of ACNT/SCNT into unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) resulted in the improvement of the electrical properties of resulted nanocomposites in comparison to the CNT. The surface resistivity, volume resistivity, dielectric strength, dry arc resistivity, and the comparative tracking index of the nanocomposites were significantly improved in comparison to CNT. The chemical modification of CNT was confirmed via spectroscopy.
