본 연구에서는 탄소섬유 강화 에폭시 수지 복합재료의 충격 특성 향상을 위해 탄소섬유표면에 전해 및 무전해 니켈도금처리를 하였으며, 이때 각각의 니켈도금법에 따른 충격 특성을 비교 고찰하였다. 도금된 탄소섬유의 표면 특성은 XRD, SEM, 그리고 접촉각 측정을 통해 관찰하였고, 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 충격 특성은 Izod형의 충격시험기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 실험결과, 무전해 니켈도금층에는 전해도금층과는 달리 Ni-P 합금이 포함된 것이 XRD를 통하여 확인되었으며, 전해 니켈도금된 탄소섬유가 무전해 니켈도금된 것보다 표면자유에너지가 큰 것이 접촉각 측정을 통해 관찰되었다. 한편, 무전해 니켈도금된 탄소섬유 강화 에폭시 수지 복합재료는 충격강도가 크게 증가하였으나, 전해 니켈도금된 복합재료의 경우는 충격강도가 증가하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 각각의 도금법에 따른 젖음성의 차이가 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 연성을 변화시켜 충격강도 증가에 주요하게 작용되었기 때문으로 사료된다.

Flexural fracture characteristics of newly-developed Grid-type carbon fiber plastics in the deteriorated reinforced concrete structures were investigated by the four-points fracture test to verify the strengthening effects in the beam specimens. Results showed that initial cracks appeared in the boundary layers of fibers embedded in the newly-placed mortar concrete slowly progressed to the direction of supports and showed fracture of fiber plastics and brittle failure of concrete in compression in sequence after the yielding of steel reinforcement. Accordingly the reasonable area of Grid-type carbon-fiber plastics in the strengthening design of deteriorated RC structures should be limited and given based on the ultimate strength design method to avoid the brittle failure of concrete structures.

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%.

Carbon fiber reinforced composites(CFRP) were fabricated with phenolic resin matrix by hot press molding, and its surface was modified by the ion-assisted reaction process. When we tested the friction coefficient and wear rate variation and observed the effect of fibers with respect to friction and wear characteristics, the amount of pitch based carbon fiber was 45wt% and the average friction coefficient was the lowest at 0.12. When the amount of ion-irradiation was $1\times10^{l6}ions/cm^2$, the friction coefficient of the composites was about 0.12 and the wear mode was stable, whereas, the friction coefficient of the non-treated composites was about 0.16 and the wear mode was very unstable. But if the amount of ion-irradiation was $5\times10^{l6}ions/cm^2$$1\times10^{l6}ions/cm^2$ion-irradiation case.

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are extremely strong and light fiber-reinforced plastics containing carbon fibers. CFRPs can be expensive to produce, but are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity are required, such as in the aerospace, automotive, and ship superstructure industries. In CFRP drilling, the tool performance greatly varies depending on the tool shapes, cutting conditions, and diamond coating. This study developed a new type of tungsten carbide drill with multi-blade edges to evaluate the surface quality of CFRP materials according to the coating thickness of diamond-coated drills. Experiments on tool wear, surface roughness, and burr formation were conducted. The bore exit quality of a 12 mμ -coated drill was better than that of a 6 mμ -coated drill. The superior effects of the 12 mμ -coated drill and the good surface quality of CFRP were also demonstrated.

This paper investigated the damage transition mechanism between the fiber-breaking mode and the fiber-avoiding crack mode when the fiber-length is reduced in the unidirectional discontinuous carbon fiber-reinforced-plastics (CFRP) composites. The critical fiber-length for the transition is a key parameter for the manufacturing of flexible and high-strength CFRP composites with thermoset resin, because below this limit, we cannot take full advantage of the superior strength properties of fibers. For this discussion, we presented a numerical model for the microscopic damage and fracture of unidirectional discontinuous fiber-reinforced plastics. The model addressed the microscopic damage generated in these composites; the matrix crack with continuum damage mechanics model and the fiber breakage with the Weibull model for fiber strengths. With this numerical model, the damage transition behavior was discussed when the fiber length was varied. The comparison revealed that the length of discontinuous fibers in composites influences the formation and growth of the cluster of fiber-end damage, which causes the damage mode transition. Since the composite strength is significantly reduced below the critical fiber-length for the transition to fiber-avoiding crack mode, we should understand the damage mode transition appropriately with the analysis on the cluster growth of fiber-end damage.

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.

본 연구는 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(CFRP) 복합재료로 제작된 항공기 등 구조물의 낙뢰에 의한 손상을 방지하기 위하여 전도성 은나노입자를 탄소섬유에 코팅한 후 에폭시 수지로 함침함으로써 CFRP의 전기전도도를 향상시키는 방법에 대한 것이다. 전기전도도 측정은 4점측정법을 통해 저항값을 측정하고 이를 전기전도도 값으로 변환하였으며, 나노입자 코팅 상태와 전기전도도의 변화를 관찰하였다. 또한 SEM과 EDS를 통해 탄소섬유 표면에 코팅된 은나노입자의 존재와 전기적 네트워크가 형성된 것을 확인하였다. 결과로써 일반 CFRP의 약 3배 이상의 전기전도도를 얻을 수 있었다.

근래에 와서 강화 플라스틱 복합재료의 생산과 함께 열경화성 수지 폐기물들의 양이 급격하게 증가하여 심각한 환경문제를 야기하고 있다. 우수한 기계적 물성을 지닌 유용한 열경화성 수지의 하나인 에폭시 수지는 열가소성 수지처럼 용융되거나 재 성형되지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 철도 차량용 탄소섬유 강화 에폭시 수지 복합재로부터 에폭시 수지를 분해하여 탄소섬유를 회수하는 일련의 실험을 수행하였다. 여러 분해공정들을 실험적으로 조사하여, 분해 효율과 회수되는 탄소섬유의 기계적 물성을 비교 검토하였다. 회수되는 탄소섬유가 서로 엉키는 것을 방지하기 위해서 각 복합재료 시편은 테플론 지지대로 고정시키고, 기계적인 교반을 가하지 않았다. 분해 생성물은 전자현미경(SEM), 기체 크로마토그라피 질량분석기(GC-MS) 및 만능재료시험기를 사용하여 분석하였다. 질산 수용액을 사용하는 분해 공정과 액상 및 기상 열분해 공정에서는 탄소섬유가 완전하게 회수되었다. 회수된 탄소섬유의 인장강도 감소율은 4% 미만으로 미미하였다.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with diameters in the submicron and nanometer range exhibit high specific surface area, hierarchically porous structure, flexibility, and super strength which allow them to be used in the electrode materials of energy storage devices, and as hybrid-type filler in carbon fiber reinforced plastics and bone tissue scaffold. Unlike catalytic synthesis and other methods, electrospinning of various polymeric precursors followed by stabilization and carbonization has become a straightforward and convenient way to fabricate continuous CNFs. This paper is a comprehensive and brief review on the latest advances made in the development of electrospun CNFs with major focus on the promising applications accomplished by appropriately regulating the microstructural, mechanical, and electrical properties of as-spun CNFs. Additionally, the article describes the various strategies to make a variety of carbon CNFs for energy conversion and storage, catalysis, sensor, adsorption/separation, and biomedical applications. It is envisioned that electrospun CNFs will be the key materials of green science and technology through close collaborations with carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes.
