Carbon fibers (CFs) have high service temperature, strength, and stiffness, and low weight. They are widely used as reinforcing materials in advanced polymer composites. The role of the polymer matrix in the composites is to provide bulk to the composite laminate and transfer load between the fibers. The interface between the CF and the resin matrix plays a critical role in controlling the overall properties of the composites. This paper aims to review the synthesis, properties, and applications of polymer matrices, such as thermosetting and thermoplastic resins.

Fusion and characterization of bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether based thermosetting polymer mortars containing an epoxy resin, Fly ash and Rock sand are presented here for the Experimental study. The specimens have been prepared by means of an innovative process, in mild conditions, of commercial epoxy resin, Fly ash and Rock sand based paste. In this way, thermosetting based hybrid mortars characterized by a different content of normalized Fly ash and Rock sand by a homogeneous dispersion of the resin have been obtained. Once hardened, these new composite materials show improved compressive strength and toughness in respect to both the Fly ash and the Rock sand pastes since the Resin provides a more cohesive microstructure, with a reduced amount of micro cracks. The micro structural characterization allows pointing out the presence of an Interfacial Transition Zone similar to that observed in cement based mortars. A correlation between micro-structural features and mechanical properties of the mortar has also been studied.

합성한 Diglycidyl ether of 4,4'-dihydroxy-α-methylstilbene (DGE-DHMS)에 1-Methyl Imidazole을 2:1의 비율로 첨가하여 새로운 액정 에폭시 올리고머인 DDA를 합성하여 열안정성을 평가하였다. TGA분석을 통해 얻어진 결과로 볼 때 액정상과 isotropic상에서 열안정성의 차이는 관찰되지 않았고, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method와 Kissinger method를 이용하여 계산한 열분해 활성화 에너지값의 비교 결과 열분해가 진행되는 동안 일정한 메커니즘이 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Diglycidyl ether of 4,4'-dihydroxy-α-methylstilbene (DGE-DHMS)에 aniline을 2:1의 비율로 첨가한 액정에폭시올리고머인 DD-A를 합성하고 촉매성 경화제인 1-Methyl Imidazole을 이용하여 경화시키며 겔화 및 유리화 시간을 측정하여 액정 변화가 포함된 Time-Temperature-Transition Diagram을 작성하였다. 경화제의 농도가 높아질수록 겔화 및 유리화 시간이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었고 유리화 곡선은 전형적인 S-형태를 보였다.

탄소섬유 강화 복합재료는 높은 비강도 및 비강성을 가지기 때문에 자동차 산업, 선박, 우주 항공 산업과 같은 다양한 산업 분야에 적용되어 왔으며, 수요가 점차 증가하고 있다. 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료에는 기지재로 주로 에폭시(Epoxy)와 같이 점도가 낮고 젖음 특성이 우수하며 강도가 양호한 열경화성(Thermosetting) 수지가 사용된다. 열경화성 수지는 우수한 물리적 특성을 나타내지만 재사용이 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 재사용이 가능한 탄소섬유 강화 열가소성 수지(Thermoplastic) 복합재료 개발 및 탄소섬유 재사용에 관한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 열분해 방법을 사용하여 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료로부터 탄소섬유와 수지를 분리하여 탄소섬유를 재활용하였다. 에폭시의 분해도(Degree of decomposition)는 열중량분석기(TGA)와 시차 주사현미경(SEM)을 통해 확인하였다. 수지로부터 분리해낸 탄소섬유는 절단(Cutting)과 그라인딩(Grinding) 방법을 거쳐 탄소섬유 복합재료 시트(Sheet)를 제조하였다. 재활용 탄소 섬유로 제조된 탄소섬유 시트는 각각 다른 냉각조건에서 결정화 엔탈피(Crystallization enthalpy)와 기계적 특성, 표면과 단면의 형태를 분석하였다.

Piezoelectric composites of O-3 connectivity were prepared by thermosetting barium titanate-phenolic resin composite under various cruing pressure. Among three kinds of pore in O-3 type ceramic-polymer composite, such as matrix pores, particle pores, and ceramic-polymer interface pores, the effect of interface porosity on the dielectric and piezoelectric constant was investigated. In pure barium titanate ceramics, the porosity factor of dielectric and piezoelectric constants were 5.7 and 5.0, respectively. However, in BaTiO3-polymer composite, the interface porosity factor of the piezoelectric constant was greater than that of the dielectric constant, interface porosity factor b in d33 was 9.8 and in r 4.6. On the other, piezoelectric voltage constant g33 was independent of the porosity of barium titanate ceramics. But in composite system, the piezoelectric voltage constant g33 was decreased with interface porosity.

Fracture of uni-directional carbon fiber reinforced carbon matrix composite is strongly dependent on the orientation of basal plane in graphite matrix when it is limited within matrix. The orientation of basal planes are vertically stacked to carbon fiber which results in the weakness for applied tensile or shear force in thermosetting resin derived-carbon matrix composite. Microtextural control of the matrix was tried through chemical interaction between metal carbides and furan resin derived-carbon matrix. SiC and TiO2 addition made the orientation disordered. However, porosity increased due to decomposition of SiC. Interfacial bonding could be controlled by TiO2 addition, but carbon fiber was considerably reacted with TiC during thermal treatment higher than 2$600^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is desirable to control the thermal treatment temperature at which decomposition of SiC was not serious and TiC/C was not formed eutectoid.

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.

Recently, the amount of thermosetting plastic wastes have increased with the production of reinforced plastic composites and causes serious environmental problems. The epoxy composites, one of the versatile thermosetting plastics with excellent properties, cannot be melted down and remolded as what is done in the thermoplastic industry. In this research, a series of experiments that recovers carbon fibers from carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites for train body was performed. We experimentally examined various decomposition processes and compared their decomposition efficiencies and mechanical property of recovered carbon fibers. For the prevention of tangle of recovered carbon fibers, each composites specimen was fixed with a Teflon supporter and no mechanical mixing was applied. Decomposition products were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC-MS), and universal testing machine (UTM). Carbon fibers could be completely recovered from decomposition process using nitric acid aqueous solution, liquid-phase thermal cracking and pyrolysis. The tensile strength losses of the recovered carbon fibers were less than 4%.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 열경화성 재료인 에폭시 기지의 흡습탄성 거동을 예측하기 위해 분자동역학 전산모사를수행하였다. 고분자 복합재가 오랜 시간 동안 흡습환경에 지속적으로 노출될 경우, 거시적 물성의 저하가 발생하기 때문에 복합재의 내구설계 측면에 있어 흡습노화 현상에 대해 분자스케일적으로 접근하는 방법은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 $EPON862^{(R)}$ 수지와 아민계 Triethylenetetramine (TETA) 경화제로 비정질 에폭시 분자모델을 구성하였으며, 각각 30과 90%의 가교 상태에서 수분 흡수 유무에 따른 물성변화를 관찰하였다. 건조상태의 에폭시와 수분이 4 wt% 포함된 에폭시 단위셀에 대한 평형 및 비평형 앙상블 전산모사 과정을 통해, 에폭시의 수분팽창계수, 응력-변형률 선도 및 탄성계수 그리고 침투된 수분의 수지 내 확산계수를 예측하였다. 또한 흡습된 구조와 그에 따른 물성변화의 상관관계를 규명하기 위해, 자유체적 변화 및 흡습에 따른 에폭시 수지의 비결합 포텐셜 에너지 변화를 관찰하였다.
