In this research, for the first time the instability boundaries for a spinning shaft reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets undergone the principle parametric resonance are determined and examined taking into account the gyroscopic effect. In this respect, the extracted equations of motion in our previous research (Ref. Asadi et al. (2023)) are implemented and efficiently upgraded. In the upgraded discretized equations the effect of the Rayleigh's damping and the varying spinning speed is included that leads to a different dynamical discretized governing equations. The previous research was about the free vibration analysis of spinning graphene-based shafts examined by an eigen-value problem analysis; while, in the current research an advanced mechanical analysis is addressed in details for the first time that is the dynamics instability of the aforementioned shaft subjected to the principal parametric resonance. The spinning speed of the shaft is considered to be varied harmonically as a function of time. Rayleigh's damping effect is applied to the governing equations in order to regard the energy loss of the system. Resorting to Bolotin's route, Floquet theory and β-Newmark method, the instability region and its accompanied boundaries are defined. Accordingly, the effects of the graphene nanoplatelet on the instability region are elucidated.

CNT 및 GNP 는 고강도, 고강성, 열전도율, 내부식성, 전자 차폐성 등 여러 우수한 기계적 특성을 갖기 때문에, 우주 항공분야, 전자기기 소재 및 에너지 소재에 사용되고, 제동 시 흡수 에너지가 크고 안정된 제동 효과를 나타내기 때문에 경주용 자동차나 항공기의 브레이크 디스크 재료로도 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CNT 중량비를 2 wt% 및 3 wt%, GNP 중량비를 0.5 wt%, 1 wt% 변화시켜 CF/CNT, GNP/Epoxy 복합재료를 제조하였다. 복합 재료는 기계적 방법(3-롤밀)에 의해 제조되었다. 기계적 특성은 인장, 충격 및 마모 테스트를 각각 ASTM D638, D256과 D3181에 따라 수행하였다. 시험 결과 CF/GNP0.5 wt%/Epoxy 복합재료가 인장, 충격, 마모시험에서 우수한 특성을 보였다.

그래핀 나노플레이트렛(GNP)은 현시점에서 가장 산업화 적용에 가까운 그래핀으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 현재 GNP는 그 우수한 생산량에도 불구하고 응집현상과 물리화학적 불균질성으로 인해 복합재에서의 강화재로 사용되기에는 제한이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 GNP의 문제 해결을 위해 산업화 레벨의 대량생산 공정으로 확장 가능한 비공유 기능기화공정을 이용하여 GNP를 기능기화하였다. 본 기능기화 공정은 저렴한 물질로 알려진 멜라민을 사용하여 GNP의 응집현상을 방지하는 동시에 극성 용매내에서의 분산성을 향상시켰다. 뿐만 아니라 기능기화된 GNP의 분산성의 차이를 이용한 염석법 공정을 적용, GNP를 크기 별로 정제하였다. 이처럼 본 연구는 언급한 기능기화와 분리 공정을 기반으로 하여 GNP의 복합소재/부품 산업 응용을 위한 전략을 제시하였다.

The main objective of this research work is to investigate the free vibration behavior of annular sandwich plates resting on the Kerr foundation at thermal conditions. This sandwich configuration is composed of two FGM face sheets as coating layer and a porous GPLRC (GPL reinforced composite) core. It is supposed that the GPL nanofillers and the porosity coefficient vary continuously along the core thickness direction. To model closed-cell FG porous material reinforced with GPLs, Halpin-Tsai micromechanical modeling in conjunction with Gaussian-Random field scheme is used, while the Poisson's ratio and density are computed by the rule of mixtures. Besides, the material properties of two FGM face sheets change continuously through the thickness according to the power-law distribution. To capture fundamental frequencies of the annular sandwich plate resting on the Kerr foundation in a thermal environment, the analysis procedure is with the aid of Reddy's shear-deformation plate theory based high-order shear deformation plate theory (HSDT) to derive and solve the equations of motion and boundary conditions. The governing equations together with related boundary conditions are discretized using the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method in the spatial domain. Numerical results are compared with those published in the literature to examine the accuracy and validity of the present approach. A parametric solution for temperature variation across the thickness of the sandwich plate is employed taking into account the thermal conductivity, the inhomogeneity parameter, and the sandwich schemes. The numerical results indicate the influence of volume fraction index, GPLs volume fraction, porosity coefficient, three independent coefficients of Kerr elastic foundation, and temperature difference on the free vibration behavior of annular sandwich plate. This study provides essential information to engineers seeking innovative ways to promote composite structures in a practical way.

이산화주석은 Rutile 구조를 갖는 Oxygen-Deficient n-type 반도체 물질로서, $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$ 등의 가스 분자가 표면에 흡착되면 전기저항이 변하는 특성을 가지고 있고, 이러한 성질을 활용하면 다양한 가스의 감지가 가능하기 때문에 가스센서로 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 나노구조물의 경우 Bulk 상태보다 체적 대비 표면적비가 높기 때문에 기체의 흡착이 유리하고, 가스 센서의 성능이 향상될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Thermal CVD 공정을 이용하여 SnO Nanoplatelet을 Si 기판위에 Dense하게 성장시켰다. 기상 수송 방법(Vapor Transport Method)으로 성장된 SnO 나노구조물을 Thermal CVD System을 이용하여 산소분위기에서 $830^{\circ}C$ 및 $1030^{\circ}C$에서 열처리(Post-Annealing)하여 $SnO_2$ 상(Phase)을 갖도록 하였다. 열처리 과정동안 쳄버의 압력을 4.2 Torr로 일정하게 유지시켰다. 열처리 된 SnO 나노구조물의 결정학적 특성을 Raman Spectroscopy 및 XRD 분석을 통하여 확인하였고, 형태학적 변화를 주사전사현미경(Scanning Electron Microscopy)을 통하여 확인하였다. 분석결과 SnO 나노구조물은 열처리 과정을 통하여 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물로 상변환 되었다.

Graphene is one of the most promising materials for many applications. It can be used in a variety of applications not only as a reinforcement material for polymer to obtain a combination of desirable mechanical, electrical, thermal, and barrier properties in the resulting nanocomposite but also as a component in energy storage, fuel cells, solar cells, sensors, and batteries. Recent research at Michigan State University has shown that it is possible to exfoliate natural graphite into graphite nanoplatelets composed entirely of stacks of graphene. The size of the platelets can be controlled from less than 10 nm in thickness and diameters of any size from sub-micron to 15 microns or greater. In this study we have investigated the influence of melt compounding processing on the physical properties of a polyamide 6 (PA6) nanocomposite reinforced with exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP). The morphology, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties of xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite were characterized with electrical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, AC impedance, and mechanical properties. It was found that counter rotation (CNR) twins crew processed xGnP/PA6 nanocomposite had similar mechanical properties with co-rotation (CoR) twin screw processed or with CoR conducted with a screw design modified for nanoparticles (MCoR). Microscopy showed that the CNR processed nanocomposite had better xGnP dispersion than the (CoR) twin screw processed and modified screw (MCoR) processed ones. It was also found that the CNR processed nanocomposite at a given xGnP content showed the lowest graphite X-ray diffraction peak at $26.5^{\circ}$ indicating better xGnP dispersion in the nanocomposite. In addition, it was also found that the electrical conductivity of the CNR processed 12 wt.% xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite is more than ten times higher than the CoR and MCoR processed ones. These results indicate that better dispersion of an xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite is attainable in CNR twins crew processing than conventional CoR processing.
