본 연구에서는 면상발열체 특성을 향상시키기 위해 피치계 탄소종이에 전도성 탄소필러로 석유계 코크스, 카본블랙, 흑연을 페놀수지와 함께 함침시켰으며, 탄소종이에 함침된 탄소필러가 물리화학적 성질에 미치는 영향을 전기적, 열적 특성 분석을 통해 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 면저항과 계면접촉저항이 선형적으로 감소하였으며, 탄소필러의 함량이 증가함으로써 전기전도도와 열전도도가 향상하였다. 또한, 탄소종이에 1~5 V 전압을 인가하였을 경우 탄소종이의 면상발열 특성을 관찰하였을 때 5 V 전압에서 최대 $125.01^{\circ}C$로 발열 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 탄소섬유 사이에 존재하는 미세공극이 채워짐으로써, 전기적 네트워크가 형성되어 전기적 및 열적 특성이 향상되었기 때문이다.

본 연구에서는 고분자 전해질 연료전지용 가스확산층의 지지체로 쓰이는 탄소종이를 탄소 단섬유를 이용하여 습식법으로 제조하였다. 습식법을 통한 탄소종이 제조는 크게 탄소 단섬유의 분산, 탄소종이 웹 제조, 페놀함침의 세 가지과정을 거치게 된다. 이번 연구에서는 몇 가지 분산제의 종류에 따른 탄소 단섬유의 분산도를 확인하고, 최적의 분산제를 찾아 탄소종이 제조 시 탄소섬유가 이차원적 배향이 잘 이루어지게 하였다. 추가적으로 페놀함침 시 첨가되는 페놀과 카본블랙 함량에 따른 전기전도도 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 sodium dodecyl sulfate를 분산제로 사용한 경우 탄소섬유의 분산이 가장 잘 되는 것을 확인하였으며, 페놀 및 카본블랙 함량에 따른 전도도 특성은 탄소섬유 대비페놀이 8 wt%, 카본블랙이 5 wt% 첨가된 경우 가장 우수하였다.

Hydrogen is considered a potential future energy source. Among other applications of hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water is emerging as a new health care product in industrial areas. Water electrolysis is typically used to generate a hydrogen rich water system. We annealed 10AA carbon paper in air to use it as an electrode of a hydrogen rich water generator. Driven by annealing, structural changes of the carbon paper were identified by secondary electron microscope analysis. Depending on the various annealing temperatures, changes of the hydrophilic characteristics were demonstrated. The crystal structures of pristine and heat-treated carbon paper were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Improvement of the efficiency of the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction was measured via linear voltammetry. The optimized annealing temperature of 10AA carbon paper showed the possibility of using this material as an effective hydrogen rich water generator.

Electroconductive papers were manufactured as handsheet by mixing carbon fiber in LBKP and BCTMP. The electrical conductivity of the paper was improved by increasing carbon fiber content and basis weight. The porosity was increased and tensile strength was decreased by the addition of carbon fiber. Electrical conductivity of carbon fiber and BCTMP-based sheet was much better than those of carbon fiber and LBKP-based one. This result indicated that the electrical conductivity of paper can be affected by the kinds of raw material of wood fibers used.

Since the discovery of the carbon nanotube(CNTs), they have attracted much attention because of unique properties that may impact many fields of science and technology. The considerable properties of CNTs include high surface area, outstanding thermal, electrical conductivity and mechanical stability. However, uniform deposition of Pt nanoparticles on carbon surface remains inaccessible territory because of the inert carbon surface. In this study, we prepared directly oriented CNTs on carbon paper as a catalyst support in cathode electrode. carbon surface was functionalized using aryl diazonium salt for increasing adhesion of Ni particles which is precursor for growing CNTs. For fabricate electrode, CNTs on carbon paper were grown by chemical vapor deposition using Ni catalyst and Pt nanoparticles were deposited on CNTs oriented carbon paper by polyol method. The performance was measured using Proton electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC). The structure and morphology of the Pt nanoparticles on CNTs were characterized by Scanning electron Microscopy(SEM) and Transmission electron Microscopy (TEM). The average diameter of Pt nanoparticles was 3nm.

In a PEM fuel cell electrode, backing layer has tremendous impact on electrode performance. The backing layer provides structural support for the porous electrode, distributes the reactants to the other layers and acts as a current collector. It has major influence on the water management in a PEM fuel cell. Selection of suitable backing layer material for the fabrication of electrode is thus very important to achieve high performance. In this paper we have compared the performance of PEM fuel cell electrodes fabricated using carbon paper EC-TPI-060T, carbon cloth EC-CCI-060T, (ElectroChem Inc.USA) and Carbon cloth from Textron, USA (CPW 003 grade). Mass transport problem was observed under non-pressurized condition, at high current densities, in the caie of EC-CC1-060T carbon cloth electrode (at $50^{\circ}C$), due to its higher thickness. The performance of carbon paper electrode was higher than EC-CCI-060T carbon cloth electrode. The performance of Textron carbon cloth was comparable to EC-TPI -060T carbon paper.

Treatment for water repellency on the carbon supports of GDL which composed a part of MEA has been suggested as a solution to prevent flooding. PTFE is a fluoropolymer that has hydrophobic property and a PTFE emulsion was selected as waterproof agent in this investigation. Carbon paper was coated by PTFE emulsion with different particle size of 5~500 nm and 3~$5\;{\mu}m$ as various concentration. PTFE coated carbon paper has difference in weight variation changed proportionally at PTFE concentration and coating times. Then gas permeability of the coated carbon paper with emulsion of 3~$5\;{\mu}m$ PTFE was changed vastly. Characteristics of carbon paper coated with different PTFE emulsion were analyzed by FE-SEM, FT-IR spcetroscopy and were evaluated by weight variations, gas permeability and water contact angle.

Activated carbon is proposed as a new application of wastepaper recycling other than the paper-making. Waste kraft bag is considered to be a suitable raw material for activated carbon because of its low ash content. Small pellets of wastepaper squeezed out from the continuous kneader were carbonized in a nitrogen atmosphere and activated using carbon dioxide. The BET specific surface areas of activated carbon prepared from waste kraft bag was $1,285m^{2}/g$, which is higher than commercially available activated carbons. The activated carbon prepared from wastepaper has a well-developed porous structure, particularly in mesopore and macropore ranges. As a result, activated carbon with iodine adsorption capacity of 1,400 mg/g was obtained from waste kraft bag. In this paper, adsorption amount of Bisphenol A (BPA) was determined to investigate adsorbability of activated carbon from waste kraft bag. Adsorption measurements were on solutions ranging from $0.1{mu}g/L\;to\;100mg/L$. The activated carbon from waste kraft bag gave higher BPA adsorbabilities over a wide range, compared with commercially available activated carbons.

The principal aims of the review paper are (1) to establish broad overview information, both qualitative and quantitative, relating to the world market for polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or pitch-based carbon fibers; and (2) to generate an effective analysis and break down of consumption by process route and eventual end-use. The review paper also designed specifically to provide subscribers with an accurate, independent, and realistic assessment of the current status and future perspective of the market for carbon fibers in the world. The world market for carbon fibers continues to grow rapidly, fuelled by new industrial end uses, such as sport and leisure goods, aerospace, automotive applications, civil engineering and infrastructure repair, and immerging applications in energy generation. Demands for properties of carbon fibers used in those applications include many things such as strength, toughness, fatigue property, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, etc., and these become to be higher level. On the other hand, demands for manufacturing technologies of carbon fibers become to be difficult with these demands for properties, and these are wide variety such as high efficiencies, high qualities, many functions, labor saving, and low cost. In this review paper, thus, the recent carbon fibers corresponded to these needs, and its latest manufacturing technologies as well as market prospects are described.
