복합재 항공기 동체의 낙뢰손상방지를 목적으로 탄소섬듐-주석 산화물(ITO) 나노입자를 코팅함으로써 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(CFRP) 복합재료의 전기전도도를 향상하였다. 탄소섬유에 코팅된 ITO 나노입자는 10~40%의 농도로 콜로이드 상태에서 분사되었다. CFRP의 전기전도도는 코팅 후 3배 이상 증가하였으며 현재 B-787 복합재 항공기 동체에 사용 중인 기술인 금속메쉬를 CFRP 외층에 매몰한 경우보다도 높은 전기전도도를 얻을 수 있었으며, 나노입자 코팅으로 섬유-기지 계면에 미지는 악영향은 발견되지 않았다. 모의 낙뢰에 의한 손상영역은 각각 다른 처리를 한 재료와 조건에 따라 초음파 C-scan 이미지로 확인하였다. ITO 40% 코팅 시편의 경우 전기전도도는 B-787 샘플의 경우보다 높았지만 낙뢰에 의한 손상영역의 크기는 거의 비슷한 수준이었다.

Carbon-coated Cu nanopowders with core/shell structure have been successfully fabricated by pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method, in which a mixed gas of Ar/$CH_4$ (10 vol.%) was used as an ambient gas. The characterization of the samples was carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). It was found that the nanoparticles show a spherical morphology with the size ranging of 10-40 nm and are covered with graphite layers of 2-4 nm. When oxygen-passivated Cu nanopowders were annealed under flowing argon gas (600 and 800$^{\circ}C$), the crystallinity of $Cu_2O$ phase and the particle size gradually increased. On the other hand, carbon-coated Cu nanopowders remained similar to as-prepared case with no additional oxide or carbide phases even after the annealing, indicating that the metal nanoparticles are well protected by the carbon-coating layers.

Lithium intercalated carbon (LIC) are basically employed as an anode for currently commercialized lithium secondary batteries. However, there are still strong interests in modifying carbon surface of active materials of the anode because the amount of irreversible capacity, charge-discharge capacity and high rate capability are largely determined by the surface conditions of the carbon. In this study, the carbonaceous materials were coated with tin oxide and copper by fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and their coating effects on electrochemical characteristics were investigated. The electrode which coated with tin oxides gave the higher capacity than that of raw material. Their capacity decreased with the progress of cycling possibly due to severe volume changes. However, the cyclability was improved by coating with copper on the surface of the tin oxides coated carbonaceous materials, which plays an important role as an inactive matrix buffering volume changes. An impedance on passivation film was decreased as tin oxides contents and it resulted in the higher capacity.

Flexible transparent conducting films (TCFs) were fabricated by dip-coating single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) onto a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. The amount of coated SWCNTs was controlled simply by dipping number. Because the performance of SWCNT-based TCFs is influenced by both electrical conductance and optical transmittance, we evaluated the film performance by introducing a film property factor using both the number of interconnected SWCNT bundles at intersection points, and the coverage of SWCNTs on the PET substrate, in field emission scanning electron microscopic images. The microscopic film property factor was in an excellent agreement with the macroscopic one determined from electrical conductance and optical transmittance measurements, especially for a small number of dippings. Therefore, the most crucial factor governing the performance of the SWCNT-based TCFs is a SWCNT-network structure with a large number of intersection points for a minimum amount of deposited SWCNTs.

비닐에스테르 수지와 탄소섬유의 계면접착력 향상을 위하여 탄소섬유에 물에 분산된 carboxy modified poly(hydroxy ether) (C-PHE)와 수용성 고분자인 poly(hydroxy ether ethanol amine) (PHEA) 및 비수용성인 poly(hydroxy ether) (PHE) 로 코팅하였다. 고분자로 코팅된 탄소섬유와 수지의 계면전단강도는 micro-droplet 시편을 제조하여 측정하였으며,각 시료마다 30개 이상의 시편을 사용하였다. 접착기구 규명을 위하여 코팅재로 사용된 고분자와 비닐에스테르 수지와 계면에서 확산현상을 고찰하였으며, 접착성 시험 후 탄소섬유의 표면을 SEM을 이용하여 분석하였다. PHE와 C-PHE코팅으로 탄소섬유의 계면전단강도가 크게 증가하였으며, 이는 이들 고분자의 비닐에스테르에 대한 우수한 용해도(solubility)때문으로 보여진다. 하지만 용해도가 낮은 PHEA코팅은 접착력 향상에 효과가 없었다.

Carbon-based coatings, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and buckyball ($C_{60}$), receive much interest because of their outstanding mechanical and electrical properties for a wide range of electromechanical component-based applications. Previous experimental results demonstrate that these carbon-based coatings are promising solid lubricants because of their superior tribological properties, and thus help prolong the lifetime of silicon-based applications. In this study, CNT coatings are deposited on a bare silicon (100) substrate by electrodynamic spraying under different deposition conditions. During the coating deposition, the applied voltage, CNT concentration of the solution, distance between the injecting nozzle and the substrate and diameter of the injecting nozzle are optimized to control the thickness and surface roughness of the CNT coatings. The surface morphology and thickness of the coatings are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The friction and wear properties of the coatings are investigated by using a pin-on-reciprocating-type tribotester under various experimental conditions. The friction coefficient of the CNT coating is as low as 0.15 under high normal loads. The overall results reveal that CNT coatings deposited by electrodynamic spraying provide relatively uniform with superior lubrication performance.

In this study, carbon-coated porous nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning and the performance of Li[Ni_0.93Co_0.07]O₂ (NC) synthesized by electrospinning (E-NC) and co-precipitation (C-NC) was compared. E-NC had a discharge capacity of 206 mAh g^-1 at 0.1C (17 mA/g), which is 10% higher than that of C-NC (189.2 mAh g^-1). E-NC shows a high-rate performance of 118.32 mAh g^-1 (61.7%) at 5C (850 mA/g), which is 50% higher than that of C-NC (78.22 mAh g^-1 = 45.7%). Charge transfer of the carbon-coated porous nanofiber E-NC decreased by 35% compared to C-NC after 20 cycles as observed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results of this study show that the nanofiber structure with carbon coating shortens the Li-ion diffusion path, improves electrical conductivity, resulting in excellent rate performance.

Technical demands for aspheric glass lens formed in market increases its application from simple camera lens module to fiber optics connection module in optical engineering. WC is often used as a metal core of the aspheric glass lens, but the long life time is issued because it fabricated in high temperature and high pressure environment. High hard thin film coating of lens core increases the core life time critically. Diamond Like Carbon(DLC) thin film coating shows very high hardness and low surface roughness, i.e. low friction between a glass lens and a metal core, and thus draw interests from an optical manufacturing industry. In addition, DLC thin film coating can removed by etching process and deposit the film again, which makes the core renewable. In this study, DLC films were deposited on the SiC ceramic core. The process variable in FVA(Filtered Vacuum Arc) method was the substrate bias-voltage. Deposited thin film was evaluated by raman spectroscopy, AFM and nano indenter and measured its crystal structure, surface roughness, and hardness. After applying optimum thin film condition, the life time and crystal structure transition of DLC thin film was monitored.

ZnS substrates with excellent transmittance in the mid-infrared region ($3-5{\mu}m$) were prepared using hot pressing instead of conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Diamond-like carbon(DLC) was coated on either one or both sides of the ZnS substrates to improve their mechanical properties and transmittance. More specifically DLC was coated using CVD with an Ar and $C_2H_2$ mixed gas, and Ge was used as the bonding layer. During CVD, the bias voltage was fixed to 500 V and analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nanoindenter, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometry. Results of hardness analysis using the nanoindenter, showed that DLC coating increased from 5.9 to 17.7 GPa after deposition. The FT-IR spectroscopy results showed that, in the mid-infrared region ($3-5{\mu}m$), the average transmittance of the samples with DLC coating on one and both sides increased by approximately 6% and approximately 11.2% respectively. In conclusion, the DLC coating improved the durability and transmittance of the ZnS substrates.
