An analytical method for the simultaneous measurement of trace Cu, Sn, and Bi in sea water has been investigated by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry. Amberlite IRC-718 resin was used as a solid phase in solid-liquid extraction technique for the removal of matrix interferences such as Na, S, P, and other polyatomic ion species. Recoveries of 99.8% for Cu, 99.6% for Sn, and 97.9% for Bi were obtained for the standard spiked sample. The developed method was applied to analysis of trace metals in sea water.

To achieve fiber/resin reinforced composites with high quality (void-free, uniform compaction), a basic understanding of the principal factors related to a thermal cycle to cure the matrix and a pressure to compact the system is necessary. In this paper, some dielectric and mechanical properties of glass cloth reinforced epoxy composites are measured as a function of fabrication conditions, where the time that the pressure is applied to the sample during the cure process is controlled. Both the tensile strength and frequency characteristics of the sample are improved significantly when the pressure is applied at the start point of gelling.

Dielectric strength of insulators made of epoxy composites rapidly decreases due to ageing to interfaces between the matrix resin and filler particles. The adhesion variation of interfaces caused by moisture absorption also alters electrical properties that are the basic characteristics of insulators, particularly, in out door use. In this paper, electrical properties of epoxy/$SiO_2$ composites were investigated at boiling absorption condition to observe that influence of moisture. The breakdown time of samples were measured under AC 6[kV] applied voltage, and the variation of lifetime was varified by using Weibull distribution function.

Recent development in the field of RE-Ba-Cu-O (REBCO, RE: Y or rare earth elements) bulk high-Tc superconductors (HTS) is reviewed in the present paper. After the fatal weak link problem of sintered REBCO superconductors has been overcome by melt processing, this field has been greatly advanced during last ten years. The critical current density $J_c$ at 77 K has been enhanced by introducing effective flux pinning sites into the $REBa_2Cu_3O_y$ (RE123) superconducting matrix. Large melt-textured REBCO bulk crystals have been fabricated with the TSMG(top-seeded melt growth) technique. Mechanical properties of REBCO bulks have been improved by using the Ag additive or epoxy resin. Real bulk applications such as current lead, fault current limiter, flywheel energy storage system, magnetic field source, magnetic separation system, and etc., surely come true near future.

In this work, nanocomposites of epoxy resin and chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were prepared by thermal curing process. X-ray diffractions confirmed the microstructural properties of RGO. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to evaluate the curing behaviors of RGO/epoxy nanocomposites with different RGO loading amounts. We investigated the effect of RGO loading amounts on the mechanical properties of the epoxy nanocomposites. It was found that the presence of RGO improved both flexural strength and modulus of the epoxy nanocomposites till the RGO loading reached 0.4 wt%, and then decreased. The optimum loading achieved about 24.5 and 25.7% improvements, respectively, compared to the neat-epoxy composites. The observed mechanical reinforcement might be an enhancement of mechanical interlocking between the epoxy matrix and RGO due to the unique planar structures.

A simple and economic antistatic agent, (2-methacryloyloxyethyl)acid phosphate (acryl phosphate), was synthesized via the reaction of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with phosphorus pentoxide. The acryl phosphate antistatic agent, synthesized in this study, was introduced into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin via copolymerization with MMA. This antistatic agent provides the PMMA matrix with excellent antistatic properties, including surface resistance and electric charge. A comparison of the present antistatic agent with other commercial agents demonstrated the excellence of not only its electrical, but also its thermal and mechanical properties.

In this study, a dielectric cure monitoring system which consists of an electric circuit, a sensor and a personal computer was developed to on-line monitor the dielectric properties of carbon fiber epoxy composite materials. Also, the kinetic model of carbon fiber epoxy composite materials was developed by curve fitting of differential scanning calorimetry data. The start and end points of cure and the relationship between the dissipation factor and the degree of cure were obtained by comparing the dissipation factor from the dielectric properties with the degree of cure from the DSC data. The relationship between the dissipation factor and the degree of cure was tested under various temperature profiles.

무정형 PEEK 필름의 self-bonding 공정 시에 일어나는 결정화 현상이 접합 면에서 개발되어지는 self-bonding 강도에 미치는 영향을 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 고찰하였다. 무정형 PEEK 필름의 결정화 현상은 접합 시의 공정변수에 따라 변화하며, self-bonding 공정 동안 접합 면을 가로질러 PEEK의 결정들이 성장함에 따라 접합이 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 접합온도가 높을수록 접합 면을 가로지르는 결정들의 성장 정도가 낮은 온도에서 접합시켰을 때의 경우보다 훨씬 커서 결과적으로 높은 self-bonding 강도를 보였다. 각각의 시편들을 전단 파괴시킨 후 행한 파단면 관찰에서는 self-bonding 강도가 점차 높아짐에 따라 더욱 조밀한 물결무늬 파면과 dimple 형태와 유사한 파면 형상들이 관찰되는 것으로 보아 접합공정 시 접합 면을 가로지르는 PEEK 결정들의 성장 정도가 self-bonding 강도에 커다란 영향을 미친다고 판단되었다.

the application of epoxy composite materials for outdoor insulating systems has some significant advantages compared with conventional inorganic materials, that is low weight in combination with high mechanical strength, small dimensions and design versatility. The experimental results for the basis composition and interlace characteristics of the matrix resin/inorganic fillers($SiO_2$) which are the composite materials have been studied. The electrical characteristics(electrical breakdown, dielectric, insulating resistivity, tracking) and mechanical characteristics( tensile strength, elongation, flexible strength) in the epoxy composite materials have been studied. The life of the epoxy composite material was evaluated by accelerated Weather-Ometer test and the degradation process due to outdoor exposure condition is discussed with respect to the mechanical and electrical properties.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a rational engineering conductive carbon filled composite through understanding of the effect of conductive carbon black. Polycabonate(PC), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer(ABS) and PC/ABS resin were used as matrix of the conductive polymer composites. From the experimental results, PC filled with the fiber shaped carbon black showed a possibility to be a rational engineering conductive composite.
