Carbon-coated Ni, Cu and Sn nanocapsules were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a four-point probe device. All of these nanocapsules were prepared by an arc-discharge method, in which the bulk metals were evaporated under methane ($CH_4$) atmosphere. Three pure metals (Ni, Cu, Sn) were typically diverse in formation of the carbon encapsulated nanoparticles and their different mechanisms were investigated. It was indicated that a thick carbon layers formed on the surface of Ni(C) nanocapsules, whereas a thin shell of carbon with 1~2 layers covered on Cu(C) nanocapsules, and the Sn(C) nanocapsules was, in fact, a longger multi-walled carbon nanotubes partially-filled with metal Sn. As one typical magnetic/dielectric nanocomposite particles, Ni(C) nanocapsules and its counterpart of oxide-coated Ni(O) nanocapsules were compared in the electrically conductive behaviors for further applications as the electromagnetic materials.

This study introduced a carbon-free electrode for $Li-O_2$ cells with the aim of suppressing the side reactions activated by carbon material. Micro-particles of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), a conducting polymer, were used as the base material for the air electrode of $Li-O_2$cells. The PEDOT micro-particles were treated with $H_2SO_4$ to improve their electronic conductivity, and LiBr and CsBr were used as the redox mediators to facilitate the dissociation of there action products in the electrode and reduce the over-potential of the $Li-O_2$ cells. The capacity of the electrode employing PEDOT micro-particles was significantly enhanced via $H_2SO_4$ treatment, which is attributed to the increased electronic conductivity. The considerable capacity enhancement and relatively low over-potential of the electrode employing $H_2SO_4$-treated PEDOT micro-particles indicate that the treated PEDOT micro-particles can act as reaction sites and provide storage space for the reaction products. The cyclic performance of the electrode employing $H_2SO_4$-treated PEDOT micro-particles was superior to that of a carbon electrode. The results of the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic analysis showed that the accumulation of residual reaction products during cycling was significantly reduced by introducing the carbon-free electrode based on $H_2SO_4$-treated PEDOT micro-particles, compared with that of the carbon electrode. The cycle life was improved owing to the effect of the redox mediators. The refore, the use of the carbon -free electrode combined with redox mediators could realize excellent cyclic performance and low over-potential simultaneously.

본 연구에서는 유리섬유, 탄소섬유 및 유리섬유-탄소섬유 복합재에 MWCNT층을 삽입하는 경우 복합재의 전자파차폐 물성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 유리섬유 복합재의 경우, $200mm{\times}200mm$ 면적에 0.1~0.2 g의 MWCNT를 도포했을 때 (1.8~3.6 ${\mu}m$ 두께) 전자파차폐효과가 현격히 증가함을 발견하였다. 아울러, 두개 이상의 MWCNT층을 삽입하는 경우, 이들을 분산배치 하는 것 보다는 복합재 중앙에 집중배치 하는 것이 더 효과적이었다. 반면, 탄소섬유 및 유리섬유-탄소섬유 복합재의 경우, MWCNT층이 전자파차폐효과에 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. MWCNT를 비롯한 탄소나노소재를 전자파차폐용 소재로 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서는, 탄소나노소재의 첨가에 의한 다양한 전자파차폐 메커니즘 간 상관관계를 이해하는 것이 중요하다.

This work describes the effect of the number of roll pressing and the composition of carbon black on the electric and mechanical properties of carbon-PTFE electrode, in which composition is MSP 20 : carbon black: PTFE = 95-x : x : 5 wt.%. It was found that the best electric and mechanical properties were obtained in sheet electrode roll-pressed for about 15 times and in sheet electrode, in which composition is MSP 20 : carbon black: PTFE = 80 : 15 : 5 wt.%. These behaviors could be explained by the network structure of PTFE fibrils and conducting paths linked with carbon blacks, respectively. On the other hand, cell capacitor using the sheet electrode with 15 wt.% of carbon black attached on aluminum current collector with the electric conductive adhesive, in composition is carbon black : CMC = 70 : 30 wt.%, has exhibited the best rate capability in the current range of $0.5mA/cm^2$ $100mA/cm^2$ and the lowest equivalent series resistance.

리튬/유황 전지 반응에서 리튬-폴리설파이드(Lithium polysulfide)는 사이클이 반복될수록 전해액에 해리되어 전지 수명을 저하시키는 큰 원인으로 작용한다. 액체 상태인 리튬-폴리설파이드가 전해액에 용해되지 않도록 유황을 담지하고 리튬-폴리설파이드의 흡착을 유도, 추가로 전도도까지 높일 수 있는 비표면적이 큰 다공성 탄소를 모색했다. 본 논문에서는 비표면적이 큰 다공성 탄소 구체를 얻기 위해 추가로 KOH 처리를 통해 1939 m²/g의 탄소 구체를 2200 m²/g으로 높였다. 또한, 유황과의 열처리를 통해 75wt%의 유황이 함유된 탄소 유황 화합물을 만들어 양극재료 사용가능성에 대한 물질 분석을 진행했다.

Single-well carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have been proposed as a promising candidate for various applications owing to their excellent properties. In particular, their fascinating electrical and mechanical properties could provide a new area for the development of advanced engineering materials. A transparent conductive thin film (TCF) has increased for applications such as liquid crystal displays, touch panels, and flexible displays. Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films, which have been traditionally used as the TCFs, have a serious obstacle in TCFs applications. SWNTs are the most appropriate materials for conductive films for displays due to their excellent high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. But, a bundle of CNTs has different electrical properties than their individual counterparts. In this work, the fabrication by the spraying process of transparent SWNT films and reduction of its sheet resistance on PET substrates is researched. Arc-discharge SWNTs were dispersed in deionized water by adding sodum dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and sonicated, followed by the centrifugation. The dispersed SWNT was spray-coated on PET substrate and dried on a hotplate at $100^{\circ}C$. When the spray process was terminated, the TCF was immersed into deionized water to remove the surfactant and then it was dried on hotplate. The TCF film was then treated with ionic doping treatment, rinsed with deionized water and dried. The surface morphology of TCF was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The sheet resistance and optical transmission properties of the TCF were measured with a four-point probe method and a UV-visible spectrometry, respectively. Results, we show that 97 ${\Omega}$/> sheet resistance can be achieved with 81% transmittance at the wavelength of 550 nm. The changes in electrical and optical conductivity of SWNT film before and after ionic doping treatments were discussed.

The pipes used in buildings are generally categorized into metallic or plastic materials. Metal pipes, such as copper and stainless steel pipes, are mainly used for water and hot water supply, and for the heating system. However, plastic pipes made of polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene are used for floor heating, water drainage, and air vent systems. Usually, plastic pipes have thermal demerits, such as high linear expansion coefficients and bending phenomenon by hot water, although the pipes have several merits of light weight, low price, low thermal conductivity, and the comparatively high workability of metal pipes. Therefore, if those kind of demerits are overcome, plastic pipes can be easily accepted for hot water systems. This research is aimed to evaluate the applicability for vertical heating pipes of a plastic pipe system consisting of electric fusion fitting of a conductive carbon compound and propylene random glass fiber pipe, through measurement of the expansion rate and leakage in summer and winter seasons, in the apartment construction field.

MWCNT (다중벽 탄소 나노튜브)의 종류와 유동 형태가 폴리카보네이트 (PC)/MWCNT 나노 복합체의 전기 전도도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. MWCNT의 종류가 바뀌면 사출 성형으로 제조된 PC/MWCNT의 전기 전도도가 크게 변하는 것을 관찰하였다. MWCNT 의 종횡비가 클수록 사출 성형품의 전기 전도도는 낮았고 압축 성형으로 제조한 시료의 전기 전도도는 MWCNT의 종류에 상관없이 비슷하였다. 이 결과는 MWCNT의 변형과 크게 상관있는 것으로 조사되었다. 종횡비가 클수록 외부 응력이 작용할 때 MWCNT의 배향도가 올라가고 MWCNT들의 접촉에 의한 전도성 길 (path)가 끊어져서 전기전도도가 낮아지는 것으로 생각된다. 연신력과 전단 속도가 큰 조건에서 제조된 시료의 전기 전도도가 크게 낮아지는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 높은 전단력과 연신력에서 MWCNT의 배향이 높아지고 그 결과 MWCNT 들의 접촉이 단절되면서 전기 전도도가 낮아지는 것임을 다양한 실험으로 부터 알 수 있었다. 여러 실험 결과 들을 MWCNT의 배향과 전도길 변화와의 연관성의 관점으로 토의하였다.

The main objective of this study was to investigate fiber reinforced composite materials (FRCM) with electromagnetic shielding characteristics using aluminum (Al) film and copper (Cu) meshes. This study investigated the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of fiber reinforced composites filled with Al film, Cu meshes, and nano carbon black as hybrid conductive fillers to provide the electromagnetic shielding property of the fiber reinforced composites. The coaxial transmission line method of ASTM D 4935-89 was used to measure the EMI shielding effectiveness of composites in the frequency range of 300 MHz to 1.5 GHz. The variations of SE of FRCM with Al film, fine Cu, and general Cu meshes are described. The results indicate that the FRCM having Al film exhibited up to 75 dB of SE at 1.5 GHz.
