The objective of this research is to develop hybridized yarns for thermoplastic composites, and to examine tile effect of cooling rate on mechanical properties of the composites. The co-braided yarn utilizing carbon fibers as reinforcements and Nylon 66 fibers as matrix materials has been fabricated. Thermoplastic composites have been manufactured by the hot-press forming process. For the processing conditions, cooling rates of $-2.5^{\circ}C$/min and $-60^{\circ}C$/min have been considered. Three-point bending test and losipescu shear test were performed to investigate the effect of the cooling rate and the surface treatment of carbon fibers. SEM photographs were used to investigate the fracture surfaces of the tested samples. The cooling rate of $-60^{\circ}C$/min resulted in the higher strength and elastic modulus for bending and shear tests. The composites of the epoxy-sized carbon fibers showed the lowest strength due to the degradation of the sizing material during the thermoforming process.

본 연구에서는 Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)계 탄소섬유 표면에 구리도금 표면처리가 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 기계적 계면 특성에 미치는 영향에 관하여 관찰하였다. 탄소섬유 표면특성은 주사전자현미경, X-선 광전자 분광법, X-선 회절분석기, 접촉각 측정기로 측정하였고, 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 기계적 계면 물성은 층간전단강도(interlaminar shear strength, ILSS)와 파괴인성(critical stress intensity factor, $K_{IC}$)측정을 통하여 알아보았다. 실험결과로부터, 기계적 계면물성은 탄소섬유 표면에 COOH group과 도금된 구리함량이 증가됨에 따라 순차적으로 증가되는 것이 확인되었으나, 도금시간을 길게 하여 과량의 구리가 도입되었을 경우 기계적 계면 물성을 도리어 감소시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 구리함량이 탄소섬유 복합재료의 기계적 계면물성을 결정하는 중요 요소라 판단되나, 최적의 함량이상에서는 계면분리에 의한 물성저하의 원인이 될 수 있다.

In efforts to characterize and understand the properties and processing of phenylethynyl-terminated imide (LaRC PETI-5, simply referred to as PETI-5) oligomers and polymers as a high-temperature sizing material for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites, PETI-5 imidization and thermal curing behaviors have been extensively investigated based on the phenylethynyl end-group reaction. These studies are reviewed here. In addition, the use of PETI-5 to enhance interfacial adhesion between carbon fibers and a bismaleimide (BMI) matrix, as well as the dynamic mechanical properties of carbon/BMI composites, are discussed. Reports on the thermal expansion behavior of intercalated graphite flake, and the effects of exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) on the properties of PETI-5 matrix composites are also reviewed. The dynamic mechanical and thermal properties and the electrical resistivity of xGnP/PETI-5 composites are characterized. The effect of liquid rubber amine-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (ATBN)-coated xGnP particles incorporated into epoxy resin on the toughness of xGnP/epoxy composites is examined in terms of its impact on Izod strength. This paper provides an extensive overview from fundamental studies on PETI-5 and xGnP, as well as applied studies on relevant composite materials.

This study was to correctly estimate the friction and wear behavior of carbon fiber and PEEK sheet composites, and the validity of using them as alternatives to the metal-based materials used for artificial hip joints. Moreover, this work evaluated the friction coefficient according to the fiber ply orientation, along with the fractured surfaces of the carbon/PEEK composites. The unidirectional composites had higher friction coefficients than those multidirectional composites. This was caused by the debonding between the carbon fiber and the PEEK sheet, which was proportional to the contact area between the sliding surface and the carbon fiber. The friction test results showed that there was no significant differences in relation to the fiber ply orientation. However, in a case where the speed was 2.5 m/s, the friction coefficient was relatively large for configuration I. The friction surface of the specimen was analyzed using an electron microscope. In all cases, the debonding of the fiber and PEEK could be confirmed.

This paper presents the effects of high temperature and water absorption on the mechanical behaviors of carbon-aramid fiber composites, specifically their strength, elastic modulus, and fracture. These composites are used in industrial structures because of their high specific strength and toughness. Carbon fiber composites are vulnerable to the impact force of external objects despite their excellent properties. Aramid fibers have high elongation and impact absorption capabilities. Accordingly, a hybrid composite with the complementary properties and capabilities of carbon and aramid fibers is fabricated. However, the exposure of aramid fiber to water or heat typically deteriorates its mechanical properties. In view of this, tensile and flexural tests were conducted on a twill woven carbon-aramid fiber hybrid composite to investigate the effects of high temperature and water absorption. Moreover, a multiscale analysis of the stress behavior of the composite's microstructure was implemented. The results show that the elastic modulus of composites subjected to high temperature and water absorption treatments decreased by approximately 22% and 34%, respectively, compared with that of the composite under normal conditions. The crack behavior of the composites was well identified under the specimen conditions.

Effect of heat treatment of carbon nanofibers (CNF) on electrical properties and crystallization behavior of polypropylene was reported. Two types of CNFs (untreated and heat treated at 2300 $^{\circ}C$) were incorporated into polypropylene (PP) using intensive mixing. A significant drop in volume resistivity was observed with composites containing untreated 5 wt % and heat treated 3 wt % CNF. In non-isothermal crystallization studies, both untreated and heat treated CNFs acted as nucleating agents. Composites with heat treated CNFs showed a higher crystallization temperature than composites with untreated CNFs did. TEM results of CNF revealed that an irregular structure of CNFs can be converted into the continuous graphitic structure after heat treatment. Furthermore, STM showed that the higher carbonization temperature leads to the higher graphite degree which presents the larger carbon network size, suggesting that a more graphitic structure of CNFs led to a higher crystallization temperature of PP.

A manufacturing technology of carbon fiber composites with thermoplastic polymer pellets and continuous woven fiber was investigated using a compression molding process. To secure the impregnation of resin into the porosity of fabric the composite specimens were prepared with general injection-molding grade polypropylene pellets and low viscosity polycarbonate pellets. Tensile tests of polypropylene and polycarbonate composites were performed. Polycarbonate composites showed higher fracture strength than that of polypropylene composites because of the difference of matrix properties. However, the increase rate of strength was lower than that of polypropylene composites due to the difference of coherence between matrix and reinforcement. To investigate the effect of carbon fiber volume fraction on the fracture strength variation polypropylene composites with different volume fraction were compression molded and tensile tests were performed together. It was shown that the fracture strength of the polypropylene composites increased by 3.2, 5.4 and 6.9 times with the increase of carbon fabric volume fraction of 0.256, 0.367, and 0.480, respectively.

In this work, the grow of carbon nanotube (CNT) on carbon fiber was introduced on PAN-based carbon fibers for the enhancement of mechanical interfacial strength of carbon fibers-reinforced composites. The surface properties of carbon fibers were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were studied by interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). From the results, it was found that the mechanical interfacial properties of CNT-carbon fibers-reinforced composites (CNT-CFRPs) enhanced with decreasing the CNT content. The excessive CNT content can lead the failure due to the interfacial separation between fibers and matrices in this system. In conclusion, the optimum CNT content on carbon fiber surfaces can be a key factor to determine the mechanical interfacial properties of the CNT-CFRPs.

여러 가지 탄소함유가스로부터 Ni 및 Ni-Cu의 합금촉매를 사용하는 화학증착반응에 의해 제조한 나노탄소섬유를 충전재로 하고, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)를 매트릭스로 이용하여 복합재를 제조하여 전자파 차폐성능을 조사해보았다. 전자파 차폐용 충전재의 중요한 물성치인 나노탄소섬유의 전기전도도는 10000psi 압력에서 4.2∼22.4S/cm 사이에 분포하였다. 나노탄소섬유/PVDF 복합재의 전기전도도는 0.22∼2.46 S/cm 사이에 값을 보였고, 전자파 차폐성능은 2∼13 dB 범위를 나타내었다. 나노탄소섬유의 전기전도도는 열처리 온도와 시간의 증가에 따라 높아지지만, 얻어지는 복합재의 전기전도도는 초기에 급속한 증가 후 일정해지는 경향을 나타내었다. 복합재의 전자파 차폐성능은 열처리 온도와 시간의 증가에 따라 증가하다가 감소하였고, 복합재의 전기전도도에 비례하였다. 열처리가 진행됨에 따라 나노탄소섬유의 비표면적이 감소하였으며, 전자파 차폐성능에 충전재의 전기전도도 외에 비표면적이 중요한 변수임을 알 수 있었다.
