  • In this paper, buckling analyses of composite plate reinforced by Graphen platelate (GPL) is studied. The Halphin-Tsai model is used for obtaining the effective material properties of nano composite plate. The nano composite plate is modeled by Third order shear deformation theory (TSDT). The elastic medium is simulated by Winkler model. Employing nonlinear strains-displacements, stress-strain, the energy equations of plate are obtained and using Hamilton's principal, the governing equations are derived. The governing equations are solved based on Navier method. The effect of GPL volume percent, geometrical parameters of plate and elastic foundation on the buckling load are investigated. Results showed that with increasing GPLs volume percent, the buckling load increases.

  • The carbon nanotube / poly-vinylidene fluoride (CNT/PVDF) composite films for the nano-generator devices were fabricated by spray coating method using the CNT/PVDF solution, which was prepared by adding PVDF pellets into the CNT dispersed N-Methyl-2-pyrroli-done (NMP) solution. The flexible CNT/PVDF composite films were investigated by the scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that the CNTs were uniformly dispersed in the PVDF matrix and thickness of the films was approximately $20{\mu}m$. Fourier transform infra-red spectra were used to investigate crystal structure of the as-spray-coated CNT/PVDF films, and we found that they revealed extremely large portion of the ${\beta}$ phase PVDF. The capacitance of the CNT/PVDF films increased by adding CNTs into the PVDF matrix, and finally saturated. However, the resistance didn't show any saturation effect in the CNT concentration range of 0~4 wt%. Finally, the resulting nano-generator devices revealed reasonable current output after given mechanical stress.

  • The rapid prototyping (RP) technology has been advanced for various applications such as verification of design, functional test. However, many RP machines still have low accuracy and limitation of applications for various materials. In this research, a hybrid RP system was developed to improve precision of micro parts. This hybrid system consists of deposition and material removal process by mechanical micro machining to fabricate nano composites using photo-curable polymer resin with various nano particles. In this work, using hybrid RP process with Multi-Walled Carbon Nano Tube (MWCNT) and hydroxyapatite, micro parts were fabricated. The precision of parts was evaluated based on the original CAD design, and to see the effect of nano particles on mechanical properties, tensile strength was measured. From the results of experiments, it was confirmed that the part made by hybrid process had higher precision, and the addition of nano particles improved mechanical properties.

  • Cobalt oxide was composite with MWNT to attain cycle stable by chemical method. We have been considered CoOx is the ideal material for high energy density electrochemical capacitor due to pseudo capacitor reaction. In this study we found that decrease in resistance due to composite MWNT. Also CoOx/MWNT composite material have resulted larger capacitance and exhibits better electrochemical behavior. The structural feature was investigated by using SEM. The CoOx/MWNT composite is not only a promising ultracapacitor material for energy storages but also has a good possibility because of its great capacitive properties, simple preparation and low cost.

  • The $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3$/graphene nano-particles composite was successfully synthesized by a facile sol-gel method. The addition of a graphene in $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3(LVP)$(LVP) showed the high crystallinity and influenced the morphology of the $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3$ particles observed in X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The LVP/graphene samples were well connected, resulting in fast charge transfer. The effect of the addition graphene nano-particles on electrochemical performance of the materials was investigated. Compared with the pristine LVP, the LVP/graphene composite delivered a higher discharge capacity of $122mAh\;g^{-1}$ at 0.1 C-rate, better rate capability and cyclability in the potential range of 3.0-4.3 V. The electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) measurement showed the improved electronic conductivity for the LVP/graphene composite, which can ensure the high specific capacity and rate capability.

  • We report, synthesis of high surface area composite carbon aerogel using additive based polymerization technique by incorporating graphitic porous carbon as additive. This additive was separately prepared using sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol-furfuraldehyde in iso-propyl alcohol medium at much above the routine gelation temperature to yield porous carbon (CA-IPA) having graphitic layered morphology. CA-IPA exhibited a unique combination of meso-pore dominated surface area (~ 700 m2/g) and good conductivity of ~ 300 S/m. The composite carbon aerogel (CCA) was synthesized by traditional aqueous medium based resorcinol-formaldehyde gelation with CA-IPA as additive. The presence of CA-IPA favored enhanced meso-porosity as well as contributed to improvement in bulk conductivity. Based on the surface area characteristics, CCA-8 composition having 8% additive was found to be optimum. It showed specific surface area of ~ 2056 m2/g, mesopore area of 827 m2/g and electrical conductivity of 180 S/m. The electrode formed with CCA-8 showed improved electrochemical behavior, with specific capacitance of 148 F/g & ESR < 1 Ω, making it a better choice as super capacitor for energy storage applications.

  • Colloidal Silica(CS)와 유기수지를 혼합하여 서로의 단점을 보완하는 나노복합재료를 합성하기 위해 친수성인 CS를 유기실란으로 표면처리하여 소수성화하고 유기수지와 복합체를 제조하였다. CS표면의 -OH기와 실란의 -OH기가 축합반응하여 화학결합을 형성함으로서 CS의 표면은 실란의 $CH_3$에 의해 소수성화되어 CS sol이 제조된다. CS sol과 유기수지는 공동용매에 의해 균일한 분산이 가능하고 필름 및 코팅제로의 제조가 가능하다. 사용된 무기물은 40nm 의 크기를 가지므로 가시광선영역의 빛을 산란하지 않아 투명하고 사용된 수지 또한 투명하여 우수한 광학적 특성을 나타낸다. 만들어진 필름은 CS의 영향으로 유기수지의 내열성보다 향상된 열분해온도와 높은 접촉각, 높은 절연율을 보였다.
