In this study, to evaluate the High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse(HEMP) protection performance of UHPC/CNT composites by the content of Carbon nanotubes(CNTs), Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness(SE) test was performed based on MIL-STD-188-125-1. And the results were verified by applying the Antenna theory. In the case of UHPC with a thickness of 200 mm mixed with 1 % CNT of cement weight, the SE was 28.98 dB at 10 kHz and 45.94 dB at 1 GHz. Then the Scabbing limit thickness for bullet proof was computed based on the result of compressive strength test which was 170 MPa, and it was examined whether it satisfied the HEMP protection criteria. As a result, the required HEMP shielding criteria were satisfied in all frequency ranges as well as the scabbing limit thickness was reduced by up to 43 % compared with that of ordinary concrete.

Hexagonal boron nitride particles (s-hBN) modified with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) were used for the preparation of silicone composite materials. The microstructure of the composite materials was observed, and the thermal conduction and mechanical characteristics of the composite sheets were studied based on the compositions and microstructures. When a small amount of s-hBN particles was used, the thermal conductivity of the composite improved as a whole, and the tensile strength of the sheet also increased. The thermal conductivity and tensile strength of the composite in which a small amount of carbon fiber was added along with s-hBN were further improved. However, the use of carbon nanotubes with structural characteristics similar to those of carbon fiber resulted in lower thermal conductivity and tensile strength. Elastic silicone composites exhibiting 2.5 W/mK of thermal conductivity and a low hardness are expected to be used as thermally conductive interfacial sheet materials.

We developed a chemiresistive anion sensor using highly conductive carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) functionalized with anion receptors. Mechanically robust CNTFs were prepared via wet-spinning utilizing the nematic liquid crystal properties of CNTs in chlorosulfonic acid (CSA). For anion detection, polymeric receptors composed of dual-hydrogen bond donors, including thiourea 1, squaramide 2, and croconamide 3, were prepared and bonded non-covalently on the surface of the CNTFs. The binding affinities of the anion receptors were studied using UV-vis titrations. The results revealed that squaramide 2 exhibited the highest binding affinity toward AcO^-, followed by thiourea 1 and croconamide 3. This trend was consistent with the chemiresistive sensing responses toward AcO^- using functional CNTFs. Selective anion sensing properties were observed that CNTFs functionalized with squaramide 2 exhibited a response of 1.08% toward 33.33 mM AcO^-, while negligible responses (<0.1%) were observed for other anions such as Cl^-, Br^-, and NO₃^-. The improved response was attributed to the internal charge transfer of dual-hydrogen bond donors owing to the deprotonation of the receptor upon the addition of AcO^-.

The inverse spinel Cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄, CFO) is considered to be a promising alternative to commercial graphite anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the further development of CFO is limited by its unstable structure during battery cycling and low electrical conductivity. In an effort to address the challenge, we construct three-dimensional hierarchical flower-like CFO nanoclusters (CFO NCs)-decorated carbonized cotton carbon fiber (CFO NCs/CCF) composite. This structure is consisted of microfibers and nanoflower cluster composited of CFO nanoparticle, in which CCF can be used as a long-range conductive matrix, while flower-like CFO NCs can provide abundant active sites, large electrode/electrolyte interface, short lithium ion diffusion path, and alleviated structural stress. As anode materials in LIBs, the flower-like CFO NCs/CCF exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. After 100 cycles at a current density of 0.3 A g^-1, the CFO NCs/CCF delivers a discharge/charge capacity of 1008/990 mAh g^-1. Even at a high current density of 15 A g^-1, it still maintains a charge/discharge capacity of 362/361 mAh g^-1.

담지 방법을 통해 유리 기판 위에 단일벽탄소나노튜브 네트워크를 형성하였고, 코팅 공정변수(담지 횟수, 콜로이드 용액의 농도, 기판의 인출 속도)에 따른 탄소나노튜브 네트워크의 전기적 및 광학적 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 네트워크의 면저항 및 투과도는 코팅 공정변수들에 의해 민감하게 조절됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 탄소나노튜브 네트워크는 매우 균일한 면저항을 보이는 동시에, 가시광선 영역에서 우수한 투과도 특성을 보였다.

Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography(MREIT) has been suggested to produce cross-sectional conductivity images of an electrically conducting object such as the human body. In most previous studies, recessed electrodes have been used to inject imaging currents into the object. An MRI scanner was used to capture induced magnetic flux density data inside the object and a conductivity image reconstruction algorithm was applied to the data. This paper reports the performance of a thin and flexible carbon-hydrogel electrode that replaces the bulky and rigid recessed electrode in previous studies. The new carbon-hydrogel electrode produces a negligible amount of artifacts in MR and conductivity images and significantly simplifies the experimental procedure. We can fabricate the electrode in different shapes and sizes. Adding a layer of conductive adhesive, we can easily attach the electrode on an irregular surface with an excellent contact. Using a pair of carbon-hydrogel electrodes with a large contact area, we may inject an imaging current with increased amplitude primarily due to a reduced average current density underneath the electrodes. Before we apply the new electrode to a human subject, we evaluated its performance by conducting MREIT imaging experiments of five swine legs. Reconstructed conductivity images of the swine legs show a good contrast among different muscles and bones. We suggest a future study of human experiments using the carbon-hydrogel electrode following the guideline proposed in this paper.

Mechanical behavior and electrical resistance change of CPDP (carbon particle dispersed plastic) composite consisting of epoxy resin and conductive carbon particle were investigated under monotonic loading and repeated loading-unloading. The electrical resistance almost linearly increased with increasing strain during loading and the residual electrical resistance was observed even after removing load. The value of the residual electrical resistance was dependent on the maximum strain under the applied stress. This result suggests that the estimation of maximum strain (i.e., damage) is possible by the measuring electrical resistance of composite. The behavior of electrical resistance change during and after loading was discussed on the basis of the results of microscopic deformation and fracture observation. Moreover, the relationship between the volume fraction of carbon particle and the electrical resistivity of CPDP was investigated in relation to the percolation theory. Simulation model of percolation structure was established by Monte Carlo method and the simulation result was compared to the experimental results. The electrical resistance change under applied loading was analyzed quantitatively using the percolation equation and a simple model for the critical volume fraction of carbon particle as a function of the mechanical stress. It was revealed that the prediction was in good agreement with the experimental result except in the region near the failure of material.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) is one of the representative porous materials composed of metal ions and organic linkers. In spite of many advantages of the MOFs such as high specific surface area and ease of structure control, drawbacks have become obstacles to the practical use of them with poor electrical conductivity and chemical stability. The ZIF-8, which is consisted of zinc and imidazole linker, is one of the solutions to improve the chemical stability issue. In addition, composites using the ZIF-8 and carbonbased materials are widely used to enhance the electrical conductivity. In this regard, supercapacitor is very attractive field for using the composites, because most of carbon-based materials are porous and conductive. Also, for sensor applications, the ZIF-8 composite is suitable material to meet the requirement in terms of the selectivity and sensitivity. This review summarizes recent progress of the composite materials with the ZIF-8 and the carbon-based materials for the supercapacitors and the chemical sensors. In particular, the composites are classified into ZIF-8-graphene, ZIF-8-carbon nanotube and ZIF-8-other carbon-based material.

고전기장을 이용하여 제조한 도전성 탄소섬유/폴리에틸렌 복합필름에 있어서 고분자 점착하층의 두께가 제조된 필름의 체적비저항과 인장강도에 미치는 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 탄소섬유(CF) 함량과 CF 층밀도에 따라 제조된 필름의 체적비저항과 인장강도의 점착하층에 대한 의존성의 양상은 복잡하게 나타났다. 이는 점착하층의 증가에 따라서 필름 하층면에 중심부나 위쪽에 비하여 CF 농도가 낮은 절연성 고분자층의 두에가 증가하고 필름 상층면 근처에서는 CF의 함침에 필요한 고분자 매트릭스의 양이 적어져 매트릭스 함침이 불충분하여 기공이 포함된 구조를 형성시키는 효과와 증가된 매트릭스의 유동성을 바탕으로 CF 분산성이 향상되고 동시에 보다 치밀한 구조가 형성되는 두 가지 상반되는 효과의 상대적 기여 정도의 차이를 통하여 설명할 수 있었다. 이들 결과는 전자파 차폐용 고도전성 고분자 차폐필름의 제조에 있어서 전기적 성질과 기계적 성질의 최적화하는데 중요하다.
