The physicochemical properties of stainless steel fibers which were modified by oxygen plasma treatment were analyzed through microscopy and XPS analysis. The wettability of the surface of the stainless steel fiber was observed by measuring water contact angle to find out the effect of the plasma treatment time on the surface characteristics of the stainless steel fiber. In addition, in order to understand the effect of oxygen plasma treatment on the deterioration of the stainless steel fiber properties, the physical properties due to plasma treatment was investigated by measuring the weight reduction, tensile strength, elongation, tensile modulus of the stainless steel fibers according to the treatment time. As a result, the stainless steel fiber surface was etched by the oxygen plasma and the surface became more wettable by the introduction of hydrophilic functional groups. However the physical properties of the stainless steel fiber were not significantly deteriorated even if the surface of the stainless steel fiber made hydrophilic.

본 연구에서는 PAN계 안정화섬유를 원료로 하여 수증기를 이용한 물리적 활성화에 의해 여러 등급의 활성탄소섬유를 제조하고, 비표면적, 요오드 흡착량, 미세구조, 세공구조 등을 측정하여 제조조건에 따른 그 특성변화를 고찰하였다. 수증기를 이용한 물리적 활성화에서 기존의 탄화과정과 활성화과정의 2단계를 이용한 공정과, 탄화공정과 활성화 공정을 동시에 수행하는 1단계 활성화과정을 비교함으로써 저가로 활성탄소섬유를 제조할 수 있는 제조방법을 연구하였다. 2단계 법에서는 안정화 섬유를 $900^{\circ}C$에서 탄화한 후 이를 다시 $900^{\circ}C$에서 활성화하는 방법으로 $1019m^2/g$의 비표면적을 갖는 활성탄소섬유를 얻었으나 1단계 방법에서는 $900^{\circ}C$에서 $1636m^2/g$의 비표면적을 갖는 활성탄소섬유를 제조하였다. 이들 활성탄소섬유 사이에는 비표면적, 요오드 흡착력, 기공분포 등이 서로 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, Brunauer-Deming-Deming-Teller(BDDT)에 의한 분류에서는 제I형을 나타내는 공통점도 가지고 있었다.

This paper describes experiments aimed at characterizing the behavior of field electron emitters fabricated by coating carbon fibers with epoxylite resin. Polyacrylonitrile carbon fibers of type VPR-19, thermally treated at $2,800^{\circ}C$, were used. Each was initially prepared in a "uncoated" state, by standard electro polishing and cleaning techniques, and was then examined in a scanning electron microscope. The fiber was then baked overnight in a field electron microscope (FEM) vacuum chamber. Current-voltage characteristics and FEM images were recorded on the following day or later. The fiber was then removed from the FEM, coated with resin, "cured" by baking, and replaced in the FEM. After another overnight bake, the FEM characterization measurements were repeated. The coated fibers had significantly better performance than uncoated fibers. This confirms the results of earlier experiments, and is thought to be due in part to the formation of a conducting channel in the resin over layer. For the coated fiber, lower voltages were needed to obtain the same emission current. The coated fibers have current-voltage characteristics that show smoother trends, with greater stability and repeatability. No switch-on phenomena were observed. In addition, the emission images on the phosphor-coated FEM screen were more concentrated, and hence brighter.

High performance functional fibers are demanded increasingly in the modern industries, while the inorganic fibers such as carbon fibers, glass fibers, and metal fibers are representative among them in that they have high strength, consistent properties in a broad temperature change, etc.. This paper reports on the experimental trial to apply the microwave furnace on melting the natural basalt rock that spreads overall on the global surface and is supposed to be used as the raw material for the inorganic high performance fiber. Results showed that the new method to use the microwave as the heating source to melt the basalt rock was feasible. The crucible spinning could effectively applied for producing the basalt fibers up to 10 micrometer diameter, when the crushed basalt rocks were used. For drawing the molten basalt the drawing roller surface feature was a very important factor.

In this work, the effects of oxy-fluorination on surface characteristics of carbon fibers were investigated in mechanical interfacial properties of carbon fibers-reinforced composites. The surface properties of the carbon fibers were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), FT-IR. and contact angle measurements. And their mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were studied in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and critical stress intensity factor $(K_{IC})$. As experimental results, the $F_{1S}/C_{1S}$ ratio of carbon fiber surfaces was increased by oxy-fluorination, due to the development of the oxygen containing functional groups. The mechanical interfacial properties of the composites, including ILSS and $K_{IC}$, had been improved in the oxy-fluorination on fibers. These results could be explained that the oxy-fluorination was resulted in the increase of the adhesion between fibers and matrix in a composite system.

Nanoporous non-woven carbon fibers for a gas sensor were prepared from a pitch/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) mixed solution through an electrospinning process and their gas-sensing properties were investigated. In order to create nanoscale pores, magnesium oxide (MgO) powders were added as a pore-forming agent during the mixing of these carbon precursors. The prepared nanoporous carbon fibers derived from the MgO pore-forming agent were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), $N_2$-adsorption isotherms, and a gas-sensing analysis. The SEM images showed that the MgO powders affected the viscosity of the pitch/PAN solution, which led to the production of beaded fibers. The specific surface area of carbon fibers increased from 2.0 to $763.2m^2/g$ when using this method. The template method therefore improved the porous structure, which allows for more efficient gas adsorption. The sensing ability and the response time for the NO gas adsorption were improved by the increased surface area and micropore fraction. In conclusion, the carbon fibers with high micropore fractions created through the use of MgO as a pore-forming agent exhibited improved NO gas sensitivity.

Effects of plating conditions (dispersant concentration, plating time, and ultrasonication) on electroless Cu plating on SiC fabric woven by crossing of SiC continuous fibers vertically were studied. The ultrasonic dispersion treatment not only did not improve the dispersion of the SiC fibers, but also did not change the plating thickness. The ultrasonication in the pretreatment step of electroless plating did not improve the dispersion of the fibers, while the ultrasonication in the plating step enhanced the dispersion of the fibers and decreased the thickness of the Cu films. It was possible to control the thickness of the Cu coating layer as well as the dispersion of the fibers in the fabric by changing the plating conditions such as dispersant concentration, plating time, and ultrasonication, but it was very difficult to coat copper on the intersection of vertical fibers in the fabric.

미처리 Jute와 Hemp섬유와 처리된 Jute와 Hemp섬유가 강화된 polypropylene-maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene copolymer (PP-MAPP) 복합재료의 계면 물성을 미세역학시험법과 동적접촉각 측정을 통해서 평가하였다. Jute와 Hemp섬유의 통계적인 인장강도의 경우 두 형태 와이블 분포가 단일 형태 분포보다 더 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 천연섬유 복합재료의 계면전단강도(IFSS)에 대한 산-염기 상호작용변수는 접착일($W_a$)의 계산을 통해 그 특성을 기술 할 수 있다. 천연섬유에 대한 알칼리, 실란커플링제의 영향은 PP-MAPP 기지재의 MAPP 함량을 변화시킴으로써 얻을 수 있었다. 알칼리 처리된 Jute와 Hemp섬유의 경우 약한 계면층이 모두 제거되고 표면적이 증가됨으로 인해 표면에너지는 더 증가하였다. 반면 실란 커플링제를 이용하여 표면 처리된 Jute와 Hemp 섬유의 경우 차단된 높은 에너지의 기들로 인해 표면에너지는 감소하였다. PP-MAPP기지재속의 MAPP의 함량증가는 산-염기 기의 도입으로 인해 표면에너지는 증가하였다. 두 천연섬유 복합재료의 미세파괴 형상은 두 섬유의 인장강도가 다르기 때문에 명확히 구분되었다.

Dense composites of titanium matrix and Al2O3 matrix with reinforcements of carbon or titanium carbide fibers were successfully fabricated by high-pressure self-combustion sintering method or combustion reacton under 30 MPa of uniaxial pressure with an aid of external heating in vaccum. It was found that the fibers were uniformly distributed in the matrix, and aligned in a phase perpendicular to the pressure axis. As a moel ratio of Ti/C or reaction time increased, the density of Ti-matrix composite increased Micro pores around fibers could be removed by using clean carbon fibers without sizing agent on their surface. The evolution of carbide fibers from carbon fibers was observed. The composition of the various phases around fibers were analyzed.

In this work, we employed an electroless nickel plating on glass fibers in order to enhance the electric conductivity of fibers. And the effects of metal content and plating time on the conductivity of fibers were investigated. From the results, island-like metal clusters were found on the fiber surfaces in initial plating state, and perfect metallic layers were observed after 10 min of plating time. The thickness of metallic layers on fiber surfaces was proportion to plating time, and the electric conductivity showed similar trends. The nickel cluster sizes on fibers decreased with increasing plating time, indicating that surface energetics of the fibers could become more homogeneous and make well-packed metallic layers, resulting in the high conductivity of Ni/glass fibers.
