  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted an increasing attention due to their superior mechanical properties and potential application in industries. The strength of CNT has been predicted or calculated through several simulation techniques but actual experiments on stress-strain behavior are rare due to its dimensional limit, nanoscale positioning/manipulation, and instrumental resolution. We have attempted to observe straining responses of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) by performing an in-situ tensile testing in a scanning electron microscope. The carbon nanotube, having its both ends attached on a cantilever force sensor and Y-shaped support, was elongated by a computer-controlled nanomanipulator. Linear deformation and fracture behaviors of MWNT were successfully observed and its force-displacement curve was also measured from the bending stiffness and displacement of the force sensor and manipulator.

  • 염료감응형 태양전지는 다공질 $TiO_2$ 전극막, 광감응형 염료, 전해질, 상대전극으로 구성된, 전기화학적 원리를 응용한 신형태양전지이다. 염료감응형 태양전지의 상대전극으로 주로 Pt가 사용되고 있는데 본 연구에서는 탄소나노튜브를 사용하여 상대전극으로서의 가능성을 조사하였다. 제조된 탄소나노튜브 상대전극은 cyclic voltammetry와 Impedance spectroscopy을 이용하여 전기화학적 특성을 측정하였다. 또한 탄소 나노튜브 상대 전극이 태양전지의 효율 및 그 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 단위 셀 태양전지를 제조하여 단파장 하에서의 광전특성을 측정하고, 이를 바탕으로 탄소나노튜브의 상대전극으로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • 본 논문은 CNT(Carbon Nano Tube) FEL(Field Emission Lamp)에서 애노드(Anode)-캐소드(Cathode) 구동용 고전압 구동 회로 구현에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 고전압 DC 전원 회로는 턴비가 높은 고전압 트랜스포머의 Leakage 인덕턴스를 이용하는 Series-Resonant 형태의 Full Bridge 컨버터를 적용하고 고전압 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용한다. 고전압 트랜스의 절연전압을 줄이기 위해서 두개의 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용하여 애노드 전극에는 Positive 고전압, 캐소드 전극에는 Negative 고전압을 인가한다. 이 경우 애노드와 캐소드 사이의 아크 방전 시에도 구동 IC 및 스위칭 소자를 보호할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

  • The impact behavior of epoxy-based nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nano tube (CNT), carbon nano fiber (CNF) and mixed contents of these nanoparticles was investigated using Izod impact test. The results showed that while the impact strength of nanocomposites containing 1 wt% of CNT and 1 wt% of CNF increased 19% and 13% respectively, addition of mixed contents of these nanofillers (0.5-0.5 wt%) demonstrated higher improvement (21%) in the impact resistance. The trend of the results is explained on the basis of different fracture mechanisms of nanocomposites. Furthermore, the fracture surface of specimens and the dispersion state of nanoenhancers have been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs.

  • The research on electromagnetic shielding has been advanced for military applications as well as for commercial products. Utilizing the reflective properties and absorptive properties of shielding material, the replied signal measured at the rear surface or at the signal source can be minimized. The shielding effect was obtained from materials having special absorptive properties or from structural characteristics such as stacking sequence. Recently researchers studied the electromagnetic properties of nano size particles. In this research {glass fiber}/{epoxy}/{nano particle} composites(GFR-Nano composites), was fabricated using various nano particles, and their properties in electromagnetic shielding were compared. For the visual observation of the nano composite materials, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope) were used. For the measurement of electromagnetic shielding, HP8719ES S-parameter Vector Network Analyser System was used on the frequency range of 8 GHz~12GHz. Among the nano particles, carbon black and Multi-Walled Carbon Nano-Tube (MWCNT) revealed outstanding electromagnetic shielding. Although silver nano particles (flake and powder) were expected to have effective electromagnetic shielding due to their excellent electric conductivities, test showed little shielding effect.

  • Nylon66/multi-walled carbon nano tube (MWCNT) composites were fabricated by twin screw extruder. The contents of MWCNT were 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt%. Thermal properties, dispersion, rheological and impact properties were measured by DSC, TGA, X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, Dynamic rheometer, and Izod impact tester. The effect of MWCNT on the non-isothermal crystallization of Nylon66 was confirmed by DSC. The complex viscosity at low frequency and the shear thinning tendency of the composites increased with MWCNT content. An increase in the elasticity was confirmed from the decrease in the slop of G'-G" plot. Izod impact strengths of the composites were analyzed as a measure of mechanical properties, which indicated that the composites exhibit a 60% enhancement for the impact strength when 3 wt% MWCNT was added. The dispersion of MWCNT within Nylon66/MWCNT composites was also checked by SEM.

  • 가스하이드레이트(Gas Hydrate)는 특정한 온도와 압력조건하에서 물분자로 이루어진 공동 내로 메탄, 에탄, 프로판 등의 가스가 들어가 물분자와 상호 물리적 결합으로 형성된 외관상 얼음과 비슷한 고체 포유물로 자연상태에 존재하는 하이드레이트의 주 성분이 메탄(Methane)인 경우가 대부분인 까닭에 메탄 하이드레이트라고도 불린다. 표준상태에서 $1m^3$의 메탄하이드레이트는 $172m^3$의 메탄가스와 $0.8m^3$의 물로 분해된다. 그러나 메탄 하이드레이트를 인공적으로 만들경우 물과 가스의 반응율이 낮아 하이드레이트 생성시간이 상당히 길고 가스 용해율도 낮다. 따라서 하이드레이트를 빨리 만들며 가스충진율도 증가시킬 수 있는 방법으로 가스 흡착성이 있는 탄소나노튜브(Carbon Nano Tube)를 기계적 분산방법인 초음파 분산(Dispersion)과 화학적 개질에 의한 분산방법인 산화처리분산을 사용하여 탄소나노튜브와 산화탄화나노튜브를 순수한물에 분산하여 나노유체를 만들고, 나노유체와 메탄가스를 반응시켜 메탄하이드레이트를 생성시키는 실험을 수행하였다. 나노유체와 순수한물의 상평형(Phase Equilibrium)은 비슷하였으며, 탄소나노튜브를 0.0005Vol%를 분산한 나노유체와 순수한물의 메탄가스 소모량의 비교한결과 나노유체의 가스소모량의 순수한물보다 ${\Delta}T_{sub}$=0.5K에서는 2배 ${\Delta}T_{sub}$=9.7K에서는 1.6배 증가하였다. 또한 산화나노유체와 나노유체의 메탄 가스소모량은 산화나노유체가 0.01 ~ 0.02mol정도 높았으나 그 효과가 미미하였고, 교반기를 사용하여 RPM300으로 교반시켰을 경우 역시 메탄 가스소모량은 큰 차이가 없었으나 산화나노유체의 경우 메탄 가스소모량이 나노유체보다 급격히 증가함을 확인하였다.
