저온유지장치에서 요구되는 도달압력은 초전도 코일의 냉각시스템과 저온유지장치의 벽 사이의 진공단열조건으로부터 결정될 수 있으며, 기체에 의한 열전도의 영향을 방지하기 위해서는 5$\times$105Torr 이하의 진공도가 요구된다. 저온유지장치 내에서 진공 단열재로 사용되는 Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic(GFRP)과 Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic(CFRP)의 기체 방출률을 측정하였다. 고출력 토카막 방전동안 graphite limiter 표면의 온도는 200$0^{\circ}C$ 이상이며, 플라즈마로 유입되는 불순물의 양을 줄이기 위해 많은 시도를 하고 있다. 상온에서부터 약 100$0^{\circ}C$까지 승온에 따른 방출기체의 양 및 성분 분석, annealing 후 공기 중에 약 2주간 노출 후 기체 방출률과 성분을 분석하였다. 총 기체 방출량은 10$0^{\circ}C$ 근방에서 급격히 증가하여 $600^{\circ}C$부터는 graphite의 종류에 관계없이 거의 일정한 분포를 보이며, 최대 방출률은 약 20$0^{\circ}C$~30$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 나타났다.

복합재료 중 가장 많이 사용되는 탄소계 나노복합재의 성능 향상에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 나노 사이즈의 탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 마이크로 사이즈의 그레파이트(Graphite) 입자를 일정한 형태로 배열하여 나노복합재를 제작하였다. 입자를 배열하기 위하여 전기장을 활용하였다. 일정한 방향 혹은 형태로 배열된 입자는 에폭시 기지 속에서 섬유강화 복합재 처럼 일정한 방향으로 강성의 향상을 나타낸다. 복합재의 구조적 강성이나 물리적 특성은 강화 입자의 배열상태에 따라 매우 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 특히 탄소나노튜브와 그레파이트 강화입자의 전기장 배열에 의해서 만들어진 나노복합재의 강성 및 방사능 차폐특성을 규명하였다. 전기장에 의한 입자의 배열로 만들어진 탄소계 복합재는 구조적 성능뿐만 아니라 물리적인 방사능 차폐에서도 훌륭한 특성을 나타내었다.

In the present study, exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) with different particle sizes were coated onto polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers by a direct coating method. The flexural properties, interlaminar shear strength, and the morphology of the xGnP-coated carbon fiber/phenolic matrix composites were investigated in terms of their longitudinal flexural strength and modulus, interlaminar shear strength, and by optical and scanning electron microscopic observations. The results were compared with a phenolic matrix composite counterpart prepared without xGnP. The flexural properties and interlaminar shear strength of the xGnP-coated carbon fiber/phenolic matrix composites were found to be higher than those of the uncoated composite. The flexural and interlaminar shear strengths were affected by the particle size of the xGnP, while the particle size had no significant effect on the flexural modulus. It seems that the interfacial contacts between the xGnP-coated carbon fibers and the phenolic matrix play a role in enhancing the flexural strength as well as the interlaminar shear strength of the composites.

It is generally accepted that fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced polymer composites is affected by strain rate in an atmospheric pressure condition. For a present study, the strain rate effect on the fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced laminated composites in the hydrostatic pressure condition was investigated. For this purpose, fracture tests have been conducted using graphite/epoxy laminated composites applying three steps of the strain rate at 270 MPa hydrostatic pressure condition. The strain rates applied were $0.05\%/sec,\;0.25\%/sec$, and $0.55\%/sec$. Fracture toughness was determined from the work factor approach as a function of applied strain rate. The result showed that fracture toughness decreased as the strain rate increased. Specifically, the fracture toughness decreased $12\%$ as the strain rate increased from $0.05\%/sec$ to $0.55\%/sec$.

In-plane shear tests were performed to investigate the shear property change of FRP by plasma modification. Graphite/epoxy prepreg was used as a test material and plasma source was a microwave (2.4GHz) type. Plasma was induced by oxygen gas and its flow rate was kept $4{\sim}5$sccm with low vacuum state of $10^{-3}$ Torr. Prepreg was stacked unidirectionally ($[0^0]_8$) after plasma modification. Wettability was determined by measuring a contact angle. The results showed that the contact angle was decreased from $86^0$ to $45^0$ after plasma modification. Shear strength was also improved by ${\sim}10%$. SEM examination was made on the fracture surface and functional group produced by the plasma modification was investigated by XPS.

Mg alloy is the lightest material of structural materials and is noticed for lightweight automotive parts because of excellent castability, superior ductility and damping capacity than Al alloy. But Mg Alloy is poor corrosion resistance and high temperature creep properties. In this study, Mg Matrix Composites were fabricated by squeeze casting method to improve high temperature creep properties and damping capacity. Hybrid Mg composites reinforced with Alborex, graphite particle, and SiCp was improved creep properties and damping capacity compared with Mg alloy. Compared to the length ($9\mu\textrm{m}, 27\mu\textrm{m}, 45\mu\textrm{m} etc.$), Hybrid Mg composites reinforced with SiCp, one of the most superior of the length and Alborex were more superior than those reinforced with graphite particle and Alborex in mechanical properties, creep characteristics, and damping capacity, etc.

Piezoelectric Fiber Composites with Interdigitated Electrodes (PFCIDE) were previously introduced as an alternative to monolithic wafers with conventional electrodes for applications of structural actuation. This paper is an investigation into the performance improvement of piezoelectric fiber composite actuators by changing the matrix material. This paper presents a modified micro-electromechanical model and numerical analyses of piezoelectric fiber/piezopolymer matrix composite actuator with interdigitated electrodes (PFPMIDE). Various concepts from different backgrounds including three-dimensional linear elastic and dielectric theories have been incorporated into the present linear piezoelectric model. The rule of mixture and the modified method to calculate effective properties of fiber composites were extended to apply to the PFPMIDE model. The new model was validated when compared with available experimental data and other analytical results. To see the structural responses of a composite plate integrated with the PFPMIDE, three-dimensional finite element formulations were derived. Numerical analyses show that the shape of the graphite/epoxy composite plate with the PFPMIDE may be controlled by judicious choice of voltages, piezoelectric fiber angles, and elastic tailoring of the composite plate.

Two types of fiber-optic sensors, EFPI(extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer) and FBG(fiber Bragg grating), have been investigated for measurement of thermal strain and temperature. The EFPI sensor is only for measurement of thermal strain and the FBG sensor is for simultaneous measurement of thermal strain and temperature. FBG temperature sensor was developed to measure strain-independent temperature. This sensor configuration consists of a single-fiber Bragg grating and capillary tube which makes it isolated from external strain. This sensor can then be used to compensate for the temperature cross sensitivity of a FBG strain sensor. These sensors are demonstrated by embedding them into a graphite/epoxy composite plate and by attaching them on aluminum rod and unsymmetric graphitelepoxy composite plate. All the tests were conducted in a thermal chamber with the temperature range $20-100^{\circ}C$. Results of strain measurements by fiber-optic sensors are compared with that from conventional resistive foil gauge attached on the surface.

Porous carbons have attracted much attention for their novel application in gas storage. In this study, porous graphite nano-fiber (PGNFs)-based graphite nano fibers (GNFs) were prepared by KOH activation to act as adsorbents. The GNFs were activated with KOH by changing the GNF/KOH weight ratio from 0 through 5 at 900℃. The effects of the GNF/KOH weight ratios on the pore structures were also addressed with scanning electron microscope and N₂ adsorption/desorption measurements. We found that the activated GNFs exhibited a gradual increase of CO₂ adsorption capacity at CK-3 and then decreased to CK-5, as determined by CO₂ adsorption isotherms. CK-3 had the narrowest micropore size distribution (0.6–0.78 nm) among the treated GNFs. Therefore, KOH activation was not only a significant method for developing a suitable pore-size distribution for gas adsorption, but also increased CO₂ adsorption capacity as well. The study indicated that the sample prepared with a weight ratio of ‘3’ showed the best CO₂ adsorption capacity (70.8 mg/g) as determined by CO₂ adsorption isotherms at 298 K and 1 bar.
