레이다나 전자장비에서 복사되어 나오는 전자기파의 차폐는 상업적으로나 군사적으로 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 다중벽 탄소나노튜브가 모재에 첨가된 섬유강화 복합재의 전자기적 특성을 고찰하기에 앞서, 다중벽 카본나노튜브와 모재로 이루어진 복합재료를 제작하고 그것에 대한 전자기적 특성을 고찰하였다. 복합재료의 제작 방법을 확립하였고, X-band (8.2GHz~12.4GHz)에서 첨가량과 공정변수에 따른 다중벽 탄소나노튜브/에폭시 복합재료의 유전율을 측정하였다. 또한 MWNT의 재응집 현상을 관찰하였고, 이것이 물성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 복합재료의 유전율은 MWNT의 분산도에 영향을 받았고, MWNT의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적인 증가를 보였다.

The ceramic($BaTiO_3$)-polymer(epoxy) composites have been widely investigated as dielectric materials for embedded capacitors in printed circuit boards (PCBs). The dielectric properties of $BaTiO_3$/epoxy composites prepared using the agglomerated $BaTiO_3$ particles were investigated in the present study. The dielectric constants of the composites prepared using the agglomerated $BaTiO_3$ particles were about 2 times higher than those of the composites with the dispersed $BaTiO_3$ particles. The insulation resistance of the composites prepared using the agglomerated $BaTiO_3$ particles were lower than those of the composites with dispersed $BaTiO_3$ particles. As a result, there is tradeoff between high dielectric constant and insulation resistance in the $BaTiO_3$/epoxy composites. So it is important to select proper agglomerated or dispersed $BaTiO_3$ particles in accordance with needs.

Surface modified carbon nanotubes were applied into the epoxy composites to investigate its tribological property. Carbon nanotubes reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated by casting. Effects to the tribological property of loading concentrations and types of surface modification of carbon nanotubes were investigated under sliding condition using linear reciprocal sliding wear tester. The results show that the small amount of carbon nanotubes into the epoxy exhibited lower weight loss than the pure epoxy. It is concluded that the effect of an enormous aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes surface area which wider than conventional fillers that react as interface for stress transfer. As increased the contents of carbon nanotubes, the weight loss from the wear test was reduced. And the surface modified carbon nanotubes show better tribological property than as produced carbon nanotubes. It is due that a surface modification of carbon nanotubes increases the interfacial bonding between carbon nanotubes and epoxy matrix through chemical bonding. Changes in worn surface morphology are also observed by optical microscope and SEM for investigating wear behaviors. Carbon nanotubes in the epoxy matrix near the surface are exposed, because it becomes the lubricating working film on the worn surface. It reduces the friction and results in the lower surface roughness morphology in the epoxy matrix as increasing the contents of the carbon nanotubes.

Polypropylene short fiber (PP)-clay particulate-epoxy ternary composites were prepared by reinforcing PP short fiber and clay particles in the range of 0.1 phr to 0.7 phr into epoxy resin. Prepared hybrid composites were characterized for their mechanical, thermal and flame retardant properties. The obtained results indicated an increase in impact resistance, tensile strength, flexural strength and Young's modulus to an extent (up to 0.5 phr clay and 0.5 phr PP short fiber) and then decreases as the reinforcing phases are further increased. The thermal stability of these materials are found to increase up to 0.2 phr clay and 0.2 phr PP addition, beyond which it is decreased. Addition of clay is found to have the negative effect on epoxy-PP short fiber composites, which is evident from the comparison of mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy-0.5 phr PP short fiber composite and epoxy-0.5 phr PP short fiber-0.5 phr clay composite hybrid. UL-94 tests conducted on the composite hybrids have showed a reduction in the burning rate. Morphological observations indicated a greater fiber pull with the addition of clay. The performed tests in the present study indicated that materials under investigation have promising applications in construction, agriculture and decorative purposes.

This manuscript presents an experimental investigation on the effect of Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) addition on the tensile, flexural and impact properties of woven Kevlar fabric reinforced epoxy composites. MWCNTs were dispersed in the epoxy resin by sonication technique and the samples were fabricated by hand layup laminating procedure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the microstructure of produced samples. The effects of adding small amounts (${\leq}1%$) of MWCNT on the tensile, flexural and impact (Izod) behaviors of laminated composites were analyzed. Results revealed that MWCNTs enhanced the Young's modulus up to 20%, bending modulus up to 40%, and impact strength up to 45% in comparison with woven Kevlar fabric/epoxy composites. It was found that the maximum improvements in mechanical properties were happened for 0.5 wt.% MWCNT.

Chemically modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes with acids were incorporated into a epoxy matrix by in situ polymerization process, to improve the transfer of mechanical load through chemical bonds, which were demonstrated by infrared spectroscopy. And the mechanical properties of epoxy/carbon nanotube composites were measured to investigate the role of carbon nanotubes. The epoxy/carbon nanotube composites shows higher tensile strength and wear resistance than existing epoxy, with 1 or 2 wt. % addition of functionalized carbon nanotubes. The tensile strength with 7 wt. % carbon nanotibes is increased by a 28% and the wear resistance in exceptionally increased by an outstanding 100 times.

This paper examines the electrical properties according to a curing time and a corona degradation in epoxy composites which are used for transformers. To consider these phenomena, the electrets were formed by appling high voltages to five kinds of specimens designed according to a constant mixing rate and then TSC(Thermally Stimulated Current) values at the temperature range of -160-200[>$^{\circ}C$] were measured from a series of experiments. The behaviour of carrier and its possible origins in epoxy composites were studied. Various effects of curing time and electric field on epoxy composites were also investigated.

Al2O3 particles were dispersed into carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites to fabricate hybrid epoxy based composites. Interface behavior and mechanical properties of these hybrid composites were studied at room and liquid nitrogen temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature and the results were compared with the those of carbon fiber reinforced composites to investigate their applicability at room and cryogenic temperature. Young's modulus in-perpendicular to fiber direction and interlaminar shear strength at room temperature and the thermal contraction down to cryhogenic temperature were improved significantly by the addition of AL2O3 filler into the epoxy matrix. The effect of Al2O3 particle addition on mechanical properties were discussed.

Impact resistance and weight are important features for ballistic materials. Kevlar fibres are the most widely reinforcement for military and civil systems due to its excellent impact resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. Kevlar fibres or spectra fiber composites are used for designing personal body armour to avoid perforation. In this study, the ballistic impact behaviour of Kevlar/filled epoxy matrix is investigated. Three different fillers, nanoclay, nanocalcite and nanocarbon, were used in order to increase the ballistic impact performance of Kevlar-epoxy composite at lower weight. The filler, nanoclay and nanocalcite, content employed was 1 wt.% and 2 of the epoxy resin-hardener mixture while the nanocarbon were dispersed into the epoxy system in a 0.5%, 1% and 2% ratio in weight relating to the epoxy matrix. Specimens were produced by a hand lay-up process. The results obtained from ballistic impact experiments were discussed in terms of damage and perforation. The experimental tests revealed a number of damage mechanisms for composite laminated plates. In the ballistic impact test, it was observed whether the target was perforated completely penetrated at the back or not. The presence of small amounts of nanoclay and nanocalcite dispersed into the epoxy system improved the impact properties of the Kevlar/epoxy composites. The laminates manufactured with epoxy resin filled by 1 wt.% of nanoclay and 2 wt% nanocalcite showed the best performance in terms of ballistic performance. The addition of nanocarbon reduced ballistic performance of Kevlar-epoxy composites when compared the results obtained for laminates with 0% nanoparticles concentration.
