In this paper, we describe a new method to form polymer thin films, in which carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are homogeneously distributed so that they can strengthen the mechanical property of resulting polymer film. To do so, we first homogeneously mixed CNTs with polymer in a DMF solvent. With the assistance of ultrasonic nebulizer, the polymer/CNT solution was then aerosolized into micro-sized droplets and finally turned into solidified polymer/CNT composite particles by gas-phase drying process. As the results of SEM and TEM analysis, CNTs were found to be homogeneously immobilized in the polymer matrix particles due to rapid drying process in the gas phase. For comparison purpose,(i) the polymer/CNTs composite particles prepared by aerosol processing method and (ii) polymer/CNTs sheets prepared by simple solution-evaporation method were employed to form polymer/CNTs composite thin films using a hot press. As the result, the aerosol processing of composite particles was found to be a much more effective method to form homogeneously distributed-CNTs in the polymer matrix thin film.

조영국 한국건축시공학회 2008 한국건축시공학회지 Vol.8 No.6

In recent years, the light-weight aggregate has widely been used to reduce the weight of construction structures, and to achieve the thermal insulation of building structures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the heat resistance of polymer concrete composites with light-weight aggregate made by binders as resin and cement with polymer dispersion. The light-weight polymer concrete composites are prepared with various conditions such as binder content, filler content, void-filling ratio, light-weight aggregate content and polymer-cement ratio, and tested for heat resistant test, and measured the weight reducing ratio, strengths and exhaustion content of gas such as CO, NO and SO2. From the test results, the weight reducing ratio of light weight polymer concrete using UP binder after heat resistance test increase with an increase in the UP content irrespective of the filler content. The weight reducing ratio of polymer cement concrete is considerably smaller than that of UP concrete. In general, the strengths after heat resistance of polymer concrete composites are reduced about 40 to 65% compared with those before test. The exhausted quantity of CO, NO and SO2 gases in polymer concrete composites is less than EPS(Expanded poly styrene). From the this study, it is confirmed that the many types gases discharge according to binder type of polymer concrete composites, its amount is controlled by selection of the binder type and mix proportions.

<P>In this study, we show the effect of various nanoparticle additives on phase separation behavior of a lattice-patterned liquid crystal [LC]-polymer composite system and on interfacial properties between the LC and polymer. Lattice-patterned LC-polymer composites were fabricated by exposing to UV light a mixture of a prepolymer, an LC, and SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles positioned under a patterned photomask. This resulted in the formation of an LC and prepolymer region through phase separation. We found that the incorporation of SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles significantly affected the electro-optical properties of the lattice-patterned LC-polymer composites. This effect is a fundamental characteristic of flexible displays. The electro-optical properties depend on the size and surface functional groups of the SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles. Compared with untreated pristine SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles, which adversely affect the performance of LC molecules surrounded by polymer walls, SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles with surface functional groups were found to improve the electro-optical properties of the lattice-patterned LC-polymer composites by increasing the quantity of SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles. The surface functional groups of the SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles were closely related to the distribution of SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>nanoparticles in the LC-polymer composites, and they influenced the electro-optical properties of the LC molecules. It is clear from our work that the introduction of nanoparticles into a lattice-patterned LC-polymer composite provides a method for controlling and improving the composite's electro-optical properties. This technique can be used to produce flexible substrates for various flexible electronic devices.</P>

백근렬,양수철 한국공업화학회 2020 한국공업화학회 연구논문 초록집 Vol.2020 No.-

Polymer-based magnetoelectric (ME) composites have been studied due to their potential applications such as energy harvesters and sensors. Among the polymer ME composites, particulate composites have developed using several shapes of magnetostrictive fillers with 0D nanoparticles and 1D nanorods/nanotubes because the shape of fillers is a critical determinant to decide β-phase in piezoelectric polymers, strain transfer to piezoelectric phase, and leakage current during poling as well. In this study, we prepared 3-2 type polymer ME composites using 2D magntostrictive fillers of CoFe2O4-intercalated GO (CFO-i-GO) and piezoelectric matrix of PVDF. Then, magnetoelectric responses in the PVDF/CFO-i-GO composite films were investigated with regard to lateral size effect of CFO-i-GO on piezoelectric properties. As a result, maximum value of ME coefficient was obtained with magnitude of 3.0 mV/cm·Oe at magnetic bias field of 1000 Oe under frequency of 1 kHz from the ME composite films.

철강산업에서 발생되는 제강 환원슬래그(Ladle furnace slag, LFS)를 사용하여 아토마이징 공법을 통하여 구형의 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 제조하였다. 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그의 대량 재활용 기술을 개발하기 위하여 구형의 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 입도에 따라 잔골재(강모래)와 굵은 골재(쇄석)를 대체 사용하여 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료를 제조하였다. 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 폴리머 결합재의 첨가율과 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그의 대체율에 따라 다양한 배합의 폴리머 콘크리트 공시체를 제조하였다. 시험결과, 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그의 대체율 증가에 따라 공시체의 압축강도는 감소되었으나 휨강도는 50%의 대체율에서 최대 강도를 나타내었다. 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 사용함으로서 작업성이 향상되어 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 생산원가에 가장 큰 영향을미치는 폴리머 결합재의 사용량을 최대 18.2 vol% 절감할 수 있었다. 그러나 내열수성시험에서 아토마이징 제강 환원슬래그를 사용한 공시체의 기계적 강도가 현저히 감소되기 때문에 더 많은 연구가 요구된다. Spherical atomizing reduction steel slag was prepared by atomizing technology using reduction steel slag (ladle furnace slag,LFS) generated from steel industry. In order to develop the mass-recycling technology of atomizing reduction steel slag, polymerconcrete composite was prepared using spherical atomizing reduction steel slag instead of fine aggregate (river sand) andcoarse aggregate (crushed aggregate), depending on the grain size. Different polymer concrete specimens were prepared withthe various proportions of polymer binder and replacement ratios of atomizing reduction steel slag in order to investigate thecharacteristics of polymer concrete composite. Results showed that compressive strengths of polymer concrete specimens decreasedwith the increase of replacement ratios of atomizing reduction steel slag, but flexural strengths of the specimensshowed a maximum strength at the 50% of replacement ratios of atomizing reduction steel slag. It was concluded that additionratio of polymer binder, which affect greatly on the prime cost of production of polymer concrete, could be reduced by maximum18.2 vol% because the workability of the polymer concrete was remarkably improved by using the atomizing reductionsteel slag. However, further study is required because the mechanical strength of the specimen using atomizing reduction steelslag was greatly reduced in hot water resistance test.

Silorane 복합레진의 중합수축의 동력학

권영철,이인복 大韓齒科保存學會 2010 Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics Vol.35 No.1

복합레진이 개발된 이후 많은 물성의 향상이 이루어졌으나 복합레진의 중합수축은 아직 해결되지 않은 주요 단점으로 남아있다. 중합수축이 적은 복합레진을 만들기 위한 많은 노력이 이루어졌고, 최근에 기존의 methacrylate 기질이 아닌 silorane 기질의 복합레진이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 silorane 기질의 복합레진과 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진의 중합수축거동을 측정하고 비교하고자 하였다. 온도변화에 민감하지 않으며 실시간으로 복합레진의 체적 중합수축을 측정할 수 있는 계측장치를 제작하여 사용하였다. 5종의 methacrylate 기질의 수복용 복합레진(Beautifil, Z100, Z250, Z350, Gradia X)과 silorane 기질 복합레진 (P90)의 중합수축을 10분 동안 측정하여, 중합수축량, 최대 중합수축률 그리고 최대수축시간을 비교하였다. 복합레진의 중합수축은 제품별로 많은 차이를 보였다. Silorane 기질의 P90복합레진의 중합수축이 1.48%로 가장 낮았고 Beautifil 복합레진의 중합수축이 2.80%로 가장 높았다. Methacrylate 계열의 복합레진 사이에도 중합수축량에 제품별로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 최대 중합수축률은 P90이 0.13%/s로 가장 낮았고 Z100이 0.34%/s로 가장 높았다. 최대 수축시간은 methacrylate기질의 복합레진(2.4-3.1초)에 비해, silorane 기질의 P90 복합레진이 6.7초로 두 배 이상 길었다. 최대중합수축률은 중합수축과 최대수축시간의 역수를 곱한 값과 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(R = 0.95). Dental composites have improved significantly in physical properties over the past few decades. However, polymerization shrinkage and stress is still the major drawback of composites, limiting its use to selected cases. Much effort has been made to make low shrinking composites to overcome this issue and silorane-based composites have recently been introduced into the market. The aim of this study was to measure the volumetric polymerization shrinkage kinetics of a silorane-based composite and compare it with conventional methacrylate-based composites in order to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing polymerization shrinkage. Five commercial methacrylate-based (Beautifil, Z100, Z250, Z350 and Gradia X) and a silorane-based (P90) composites were investigated. The volumetric change of the composites during light polymerization was detected continuously as buoyancy change in distilled water by means of Archemedes' principle, using a newly made volume shrinkage measurement instrument. The null hypothesis was that there were no differences in polymerization shrinkage, peak polymerization shrinkage rate and peak shrinkage time between the silorane-based composite and methacrylate-based composites. The results were as follows: 1. The shrinkage of silorane-based (P90) composites was the lowest (1.48%), and that of Beautifil composite was the highest (2.80%). There were also significant differences between brands among the methacrylate-based composites. 2. Peak polymerization shrinkage rate was the lowest in P90 (0.13%/s) and the highest in Z100 (0.34%/s). 3. The time to reach peak shrinkage rate of the silorane-based composite (P90) was longer (6.7 s) than those of the methacrylate-based composites (2.4-3.1 s). 4. Peak shrinkage rate showed a strong positive correlation with the product of polymerization shrinkage and the inverse of peak shrinkage time (R = 0.95).

에너지 수확장치는 석유자원의 고갈로 인한 자원난을 해결할 수 있는 대안으로 유망하다고 알려져 있다. 기계적 움직임을 전기 에너지로 전환할 수 있는 압전 소자들의 한계(환경오염 및 낮은 기계적 특성)를 극복하기 위하여, 고분자 기지재 기반 복합재료 압전 에너지 수확장치에 대한 많은 연구들이 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 사용된 재료 및 공정에 기초하여, 보고된 압전 복합재료의 출력 성능 및 관련된 응용 분야를 검토하였다. 압전 필러는 티탄산 지르콘산 연 및 티탄산바륨 기반의 세라믹 필러뿐만 아니라, 친환경, 생체적합성 및 유연성 측면에서 유리한 산화아연을 검토하였다. 기지재는 폴리비닐리덴플로오라이드 및 공중합체로 구성된 압전 고분자 및 에폭시 및 폴리디메틸실록산 기반의 유연한 고분자로 분류하여 복합재료의 압전 시너지 및 높은 외력 적용에 의한 압전 출력 향상을 논의하였다. 또한, 금속 혹은 탄소 소재 기반 2차 필러의 적용에 의한 복합재료의 전도성 혹은 기계적 특성의 향상이 압전 수확장치의 출력 성능에 미치는 영향을 복합재료의 구조 측면에서 검토하였다. 향상된 성능으로 소형 전자기기, 스마트 센서, 의학 분야 등에 응용 가능한 복합재료 기반 압전 수확장치는 미래의 일상에서 접할 수 있는 무선 전자 장치의 전원으로써 잠재적인 통찰을 제공할 수 있다. The energy harvesting device is known to be promising as an alternative to solve the resource shortage caused by the depletion of petroleum resources. In order to overcome the limitations (environmental pollution and low mechanical properties) of piezoelectric elements capable of converting mechanical motion into electrical energy, many studies have been conducted on a polymer matrix-based composite piezoelectric energy harvesting device. In this paper, the output performance and related applications of the reported piezoelectric composites are reviewed based on the applied materials and processes. As for the piezoelectric fillers, zinc oxide, which is advantageous in terms of eco-friendliness, biocompatibility, and flexibility, as well as ceramic fillers based on lead zirconate titanate and barium titanate, were reviewed. The polymer matrix was classified into piezoelectric polymers composed of polyvinylidene fluoride and copolymers, and flexible polymers based on epoxy and polydimethylsiloxane, to discuss piezoelectric synergy of composite materials and improvement of piezoelectric output by high external force application, respectively. In addition, the effect of improving the conductivity or the mechanical properties of composite material by the application of a metal or carbon-based secondary filler on the output performance of the piezoelectric harvesting device was explained in terms of the structure of the composite material. Composite materialbased piezoelectric harvesting devices, which can be applied to small electronic devices, smart sensors, and medicine with improved performance, can provide potential insights as a power source for wireless electronic devices expected to be encountered in future daily life.

Research Trends in Polymer Materials for Use in Lightweight Vehicles

류민영,최태균 한국정밀공학회 2015 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol. No.

Weight reduction of vehicle is very important because vehicle weight directly affects energy consumption. Studies researchinglightweight vehicle manufacturing process that use polymers are reviewed in this paper. Approaches reducing the weights of vehiclesusing polymers most frequently involve replacing ferrous and non-ferrous metals with polymers and increasing the specific strengthsand rigidities of polymers. Researches into polymers for use in lightweight vehicle are classified into high performance polymers,polymers for weight reduction, reinforced polymer composites, polymer sandwich panels, and polymer/metal hybrid systems. A diverserange of polymer materials can be used to make vehicle components and the manufacturing methods required to produce and workthose materials vary greatly. Shaping processes must be chosen according to the materials being used and the product design. Replacement of metal products with polymer materials in current vehicles is limited. Large amounts of lightweight materials, suchas polymers, will be greatly used to construct newly developed vehicles, including electric and electric/hybrid vehicles.

폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 제조에 재활용하기 위하여 산업폐기물로 처리되고 있는 제강슬래그를 아토마이징 공법으로 구형의 골재를 제조하였다. 구형의 급냉 제강슬래그는 입도에 따라 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 잔골재(강모래) 와 굵은 골재(쇄석)를 대체하여 사용하였다. 급냉 제강슬래그를 사용하여 제조한 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 제 물성을 조사하기 위하여 폴리머 결합재의 첨가율과 급냉 제강슬래그의 대체량에 따라 다양한 배합의 폴리머 콘크리트 공시체를 제조하여 물성시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과, 급냉 제강슬래그를 적정량 대체하여 사용한 공시체의 기계적 강도가 현저히 향상되었으며(최대압축강도 117.1 MPa), 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 생산원가에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 폴리머 결합재의 사용량을 현저히 절감할 수 있었다. 그러나 폴리머 콘크리트 복합재료의 내열수성시험에서 공시체의 기계적 강도가 현저히 감소되었다. To recycle the steel slag as manufactured composite materials of polymer concretes, we used the atomizing method to make round aggregates from steel slag, which is treated as industrial wastes. A round rapid-cooled steel slag was used to replace fine aggregate (river sand) or coarse aggregate (crushed aggregate), depending on the grain size. To examine general physical properties of polymer concrete composites manufactured from rapid-cooled steel slag, the polymer concrete specimen with various proportions depending on the addition ratio of polymer binder and replacement ratio of rapid-cooled steel slag were manufactured. In the result of the tests, the mechanical strength of the specimen made by replacing the optimum amount of rapid-cooled steel slag increased notably (maximum compressive strength 117.1 MPa), and the use of polymer binder, which had the most impact on the production cost of polymer concrete composites, could be remarkably reduced. However, the mechanical strength of the specimen was markedly reduced in hot water resistance test of polymer concrete composite.
