In the present study, nonlinear dynamic response of polymer-CNT-fiber multiscale nanocomposite plate resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments using the finite element method is performed. In this regard, the governing equations are derived based on Inverse Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory and von $K{\acute{a}}rm{\acute{a}}n$ geometrical nonlinearity. Three type of distribution of temperature through the thickness of the plate namely, uniform linear and nonlinear are considered. The considered element is C1-continuous with 15 DOF at each node. The effective material properties of the multiscale composite are calculated using Halpin-Tsai equations and fiber micromechanics in hierarchy. The carbon nanotubes are assumed to be uniformly distributed and randomly oriented through the epoxy resin matrix. Five types of impulsive loads are considered, namely the step, sudden, triangular, half-sine and exponential pulses. After examining the validity of the present work, the effects of the weight percentage of SWCNTs and MWCNTs, nanotube aspect ratio, volume fraction of fibers, plate aspect, temperature, elastic foundation parameters, distribution of temperature and shape of impulsive load on nonlinear dynamic response of CNT reinforced multi-phase laminated composite plate are studied in details.

전기적-미세역학 시험법을 이용하여 탄소 나노튜브와 탄소 나노섬유로 강화된 에폭시 복합재료의 비파괴 손상 감지능에 대해 고찰하였다. 카본블랙은 탄소 나노튜브 및 탄소 나노섬유와 비교하기 위해 사용하였다. 두 기지 복합재료 시험에서 탄소 섬유의 파단은 전기저항 변화 측정과 함께 음향방출을 이용하여 동시에 감지하였고 탄소나노복합재료 내부에 함침된 탄소 섬유에 대한 응력 감지는 반복 하중 하에서 전기적-pullout 시험법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 같은 부피 함량에서 섬유파단, 기지재료 변형 및 응력에 대한 감지능은 탄소 나노튜브/에폭시 복합재료에서 가장 높았으며, 카본블랙의 경우가 가장 낮았다. 전기적물성 및 손상 감지능은 탄소나노복합재료의 형상학적인 관찰 결과와 상호 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 탄소 나노재료의 균일한 분산은 손상 감지능을 높이기 위한 가장 중요한 요인으로 고려되며, 탄소 나노복합재료에 대한 손상감지는 전기저항측정과 음향 방출을 이용하여 비파괴적으로 평가할 수 있었다.

The relationship between strain and applied potential was derived for composite actuators consisting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and conductive polymers (CPs). During deriving the relationship, an electrochemical ionic approach is utilized to formulate the electromechanical actuation of the composite film actuator. The results show that the well-aligned SWNTs composite actuator can give good actuation responses and high actuating forces available. The actuation is found to be affected by both SWNTs and CPs components and the actuation of SWNTs component has two kinds of influences on that of the CPs component: reinforcement at the positive voltage and abatement at the negative voltage. CNT/EAP was fabricated successfully using the chemical polymerization method.

본 연구에서는 폴리아크릴레이트/카본나노튜브 복합체를 제조하고 전극재료로서의 응용가능성을 알아보았다. 복합체의 전기전도도는 MWNT의 함량에 따라 증가하였고 시트의 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 증가하였으며 MWNT 50 wt% 함량에서 0.36 ${\Omega}$/sq의 표면저항값이 얻어졌다. 복합체의 열분해온도는 폴리아크릴레이트에 비해 MWNT의 함량에 따라 증가하였으며 50 wt%의 MWNT 복합체 함량에서 $15^{\circ}C$의 증가가 관찰되었다. 복합체의 저장탄성율의 경우도 MWNT의 함량에 따라 증가하였고 특히, 고온에서의 증가가 뚜렷하였다. 폴리아크릴레이트의 열팽창거동은 온도의 증가에 따라 $20^{\circ}C$ 부근부터 수축이 된 반면, 복합체의 경우는 수축되지 않고 약간 팽창하는 경향을 보였다. 복합체의 형태학을 관찰한 결과 폴리아크릴레이트 내에서 MWNT의 분산이 잘 이루어 진 것을 알 수 있었다.

Many researchers are recently studying about Electroactive polymer(EAP). But it has a physical limitation, because of property of material. Carbon nanotube(CNT) is known as the promising material which has excellent electro-mechanical characteristics and is mostly defect-free. It is expected that a successful synthesis of CNT and Nafion known as a primary material for IPMC would make a great improvement on its electro-mechanic feature. This study focuses on the method of synthesis of CNT with Nafion which improves electro-mechanical characteristic. To come up with mechanical dispersion with Nafion and Isopropyl Alcohol(IPA), we dispersed Single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs). For a uniformly layer of CNT, we used a spray gun on a hot plate by a simplified method. We fabricated a disperse SWCNT/Nafion composite uniformly. Through the use of the E-beam evaporator to form an uniform electrode layer, we consummated the IPMC actuator. This result shows improving 1.5 times mechanical properties about driving force in IPMC.

Currently, polymer matrix nanocomposites (PMCs) are a prominent area of research due to their outstanding mechanical, thermal, and durability properties. The increase in recent studies justifies the possibility of using PMCs in structural retrofitting and reconstruction of damaged infrastructure and serving as new structural material. Using nanotechnology, nanocomposite panels in flooring combine concrete and steel, providing a very high level of performance. In sports flooring, high-performance concrete has become a challenge for reducing sports injuries and refinement in rehabilitation. As a composite material, this type of resistant concrete is one of the most durable and complex multi-phase materials. This article uses polyvinyl alcohol polymer (PVC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes as concrete matrix fillers. Solution methods have been used for dispersing PVC and carbon nanotubes in concrete. The water-cement ratio, carbon nanotube weight ratio, and heat treatment parameters influenced the concrete nanocomposite's tensile and compressive strength. The dispersion of carbon nanotubes in cement paste and the observation of nano-microcracks in concrete was evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

In this paper, we have investigated thermal properties of semiconductive shield materials for power cables. EEA (Ethylene Ethyl Acrylate) was used for base polymer and TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) were investigated with various carbon black and CNT (carbon nanotube) contents. When CNT reinforced composites and conventional composite were investigated with TGA, we knew that thermal properties of CNT reinforced composite were better than them of conventional composite. To investigate roughness, we used AFM. Before and after aging, AFM was applied and after aging, roughness was increased. As a result, suitable CNT and CB(carbon black) content is CNT:CB=50:50.

The interfacial thermal resistance of pristine and defective carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in low-density polyethylene matrix is studied in this paper. Interface thermal resistance in nanosystems is one of the most important factors that lead to the large variation in thermal conductivities in literature and the novelty of this paper lies in the estimation of the interfacial thermal resistance for defective nanotubes-systems. Thermal properties of CNT nanostructures are estimated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and the simulations were carried out for various temperatures by rescaling the velocities of carbon atoms in the nanotube. This paper also deals with the mesoscale thermal conductivities of composite systems, using effective medium theories by considering the size effect in the form of interfacial thermal resistance and also using the conventional micromechanical methods like Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and Wakashima-Tsukamoto estimates.
