Composite laminates are used in a wide range of applications including defense, automotive, aviation and aerospace, marine, wind energy, and recreational sporting goods. These composite beams still exhibit problems such as buckling, local deformations, and interlaminar delamination. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel viscoelastic autoclave bonding with tapered epoxy reinforcement polyurethane films is proposed. In existing laminates, compression face wrinkling and interlaminar delamination is caused in the sandwich beam. The unique viscoelastic autoclave spunbond interlayer bonding is designed to prevent face wrinkling and absorb and distribute stresses induced by external loads, thereby eliminating interlaminar delamination in the sandwich beam. Also, the existing special reinforcement causes stress concentrations, and the core is not effectively connected, which directly affects the stiffness of the beam. To address this, a novel tapered epoxy polyurethane reinforcement adhesive film is proposed, whose reinforcement thickness gradually tapers as it enters the core material. This minimizes stress concentrations at the interface, preventing excessive adhesive squeeze-out during the bonding process, and improves the stiffness of the beam. Results indicate the proposed model avoids the formation of micro cracks, interlaminar delamination, buckling, and local deformations, and effectively improves the stiffness of the beam.

Since electric energy is used in industry, mass production and various conveniences are provided. To provide convenience for the construction and operation of such electric energy transmission and distribution facilities, it is increasing that the demand for special purpose vehicles, that is, telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. When working active electric work using the telescopic aerial work platform vehicles, due to active electric work is inevitable, it is essential to ensure insulation performance for the safety of the operator. In this paper, we study the design and development of mechanical properties for filament winding process of glassfiber/epoxy composite, it is required to boom of telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. The glass fiber/epoxy composite filament winding process and its mechanical properties were evaluated to replace the existing ATOS80 boom. By filament winding process it was obtained the mechanical properties required for the design analysis of the glass fiber/epoxy composite boom. Using this, the insulated boom for the 30m class aerial work vehicle was designed and was manufactured by applying the filament winding process. The fabricated composite boom was evaluated by the static strength test to meet the required strength. The maximum displacement was 84mm and the crack occurred at the maximum load of 8981N. It satisfied the maximum lifting load of 4900N and 210mm the maximum displacement required for the boom.

Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, maintenance of high voltage transmission lines in narrow alleys, complex roads, or old factory areas is required. Since the existing aerial lift vehicle is made of steel, there is a risk of electric shock. Therefore, there is a need for the development of an insulated aerial lift vehicle that can prevent electric shock accidents during electrical work. In particular, the development of an insulated aerial lift vehicle is required in a recent work environment where live line work is inevitable. The development of composite insulation boom for the vertical swing type aerial lift vehicle is studied. The insulated boom was developed by applying glass fiber-epoxy composite and filament winding process. The developed insulated boom was verified by measuring dielectric breakdown strength, surface resistance and volume resistance according to ASTM D149 and ASTM D257.

In the epoxy resin manufacturing process, carcinogenic ECH (epichlorohydrin), IPA (isopropanol) and Biphenol-A materials has been generally used. After the reaction, byproducts containing ECH/IPA/Water is remained along with final product. But, in the recovery process, ECH and IPA forming an azeotropic mixture with water containing feed solution at any temperature condition, the recovery of high purity ECH is difficult only by distillation. Therefore, pervaporation process could be suitable countermeasure due to its mild operation condition for separation of azeotropic mixtures at the point of energy and cost saving. In this study, Alumina-PVA composite membrane was prepared for pervaporation dehydration of ECH/IPA/Water feed mixtures and pervaporation performance and stability of the prepared composite membrane was identified.

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with two different (L/D) aspect ratios (7±2 μm/140±30 nm and 0.5–2 μm/8–15 nm) were surface treated using nitric acid (HNO3) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) prior to their deposition on carbon fibers (CF). Before the hierarchical reinforcement with CF-MWCNT, the CFs were treated with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, a coupling agent (Z6040) and with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) a dendrimer containing an ethylenediamine core and amine surface groups. The MWCNT were deposited on the CF using two methods, by electrostatic attraction and by chemical reactions. The changes in the CF surface morphology after the MWCNT deposition were analyzed using SEM, which revealed a higher density and uniform coverage for the PAMAM-treated CF and the short MWCNTs. The interfacial adhesion of the composite materials was evaluated using the single fiber fragmentation technique. The results indicated an improvement in the interfacial shear strength with the addition of the short-MWCNTs treated with acid solutions and grafted onto the surface of the CF fiber using electrostatic attraction.

고성능 복합재료는 기존의 소재에 비해 우수한 기계적 물성을 보이며 특히 높은 비강도를 보인다. 복합재료 의 매트릭스로 사용되는 에폭시 수지는 이들의 독특한 화학반응성, 경화반응에 사용되는 경화제의 적절한 조합으로 많은 다양한 특성을 보일 수 있다. 본고에서는 고성능 복합재 구조물 제작에 사용되어온 에폭시 수지 시스템을 소개 하고자 한다. 필라멘트 와인딩 공법에 사용되는 에폭시 수지와 프리프레그 제조에 사용되는 에폭시 수지의 조성과 특 성을 중심으로 설명하였다.

주파수 (30 ~ 300k Hz)와 온도 범위 (20 ~ 160 ℃)가 경화 조건에 따른 에폭시 수지의 전 기적 특성 (유전율 및 유전손실)에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 유리전이온도(Tg) 이하에서는 주파수와 상관없이 각각 3가지의 시편에서 유전분산 현상이 나타나지 않으며, 유리전이온도(Tg) 이상에서 유전분 산 현상이 나타났다.

에폭시 수지는 기계적 물성, 내약품성, 치수 안정성 등이 우수하기 때문에 고기능 소재로서 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 에폭시 수지 제조공정에서 발생하는 부산물의 양도 증가하여 부산물 내의 원료 물질 회수에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원료물질을 회수하는 증류/분리막 복합 공정에 적용할 수 있는 탈수용 복합막을 연구하였다. 실리카-지르코니아 졸에 α-알루미나를 분산시킨 코팅용액과 실리카 졸을 이용하여 Dip-coating법으로 실리카 복합막을 제조하였다. 에폭시 공정 부산물인 Epichlorohydrin/IPA/H2O을 이용하여 투과증발 실험한 결과 복합막은 총투과도 0.1∼0.7 kg/m²⋅h, 물의 선택도 50∼110를 나타내었다.

Electronic products are a major part of evolving industry and human life style; however most of them are known to emit electromagnetic waves that have severe health hazards. Therefore, different materials and fabrication techniques are understudy to control or limit transfer of such waves to human body. In this study, nanocomposite powder is dispersed into epoxy resin and shielding effects such as absorption, reflection, penetration and multiple reflections are investigated. In addition, nano size powder (Ni, Fe2O3, Fe-85Ni, C-Ni) is fabricated by pulsed wire evaporation method and dispersed manually into epoxy. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy are used to investigate the phase analysis, size and shape as well as dispersion trend of a nano powder on epoxy matrix. Shielding effect is measured by standard test method to investigate the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of planar materials, ASTM D4935. At lower frequency, sample consisting nano-powder of Fe-85%Wt Ni shows better electromagnetic shielding effect compared to only epoxy, only Ni, Fe2O3 and C-Ni samples.

This paper is to study the energy absorption characteristics of CF/Epoxy(Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Resin) laminated shell with the various curvatures subjected to transverse impact loadings under the low impact velocity in consideration of design of structural members for use of transportation machine, which are consisted of the characteristics of high stiffness, strength and lightweight. The curvature radius are associated with the energy absorption characteristics of CF/Epoxy laminated shell which is brittleness material. In all tests, maximum load of CF/Epoxy laminated plate is higher than that of laminated shell with curvature, but maximum deflection is lower. And then absorbed energy of laminated shell with curvature is higher than laminated plate(curvature radius is unlimited). As curvature radius is increased, the absorbed energy is increased in laminated shell with curvature.

We prepared the amine epoxy adducts (AEA)/thin multiwalled carbon nanotubes (TWCNTs) composite particles using nonsolvent based methods including dry mechano-chemical bonding(MCB) process and supercritical fluid (SCF) process. The resulting TWCNTs/AEA composite particles have been used as curing agents for urethane modified bispheol A type epoxy resin. The thermal, thermomechanical properties of the epoxy resins cured with TWCNTs/AEA composite particles were measured by DMA and the dispersion of CNT was characterized by SEM. Because of high degree of CNT dispersion, thermal and mechanical properties of the epoxy resin cured with TWCNTs/AEA composite particles prepared by SCF process are better than those cured with mechano-chemically prepared TWCNTs/AEA composite particles.

현재 복합재료 분야의 기술은 나날이 발전되어지고 있는 상황이다. 복합재료로 만드는 여러가지 산업 시설물과 생활용품등이 나오고 만들어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 아직까지도 토목분야에서는 옛날의 구시대적인 재료를 가지고 건물 및 교량을 만들고 있다. 여기에는 여러 가지 문제점이 있겠지만 그중 가장 크게 문제가 되는 것은 복합재료의 이론이 너무 복잡하여 건설구조에 대한 응용이 지연되고 있는 것이다. 복합재료가 건설분야에서 보다 광범위하게 이용되기 위해서는 일반기술자에게 너무 어려운 이론을 쉽게 하기 위한 연구와 실험을 통한 데이터의 축적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 고급 복합재료인 탄소섬유(Graphite/Epoxy)의 휨 특성을 3점 휨 실험을 통하여 이론값과 실험값을 비교·분석하여 단면이 크기가 변하더라도 건설 기술자들이 쉽게 응용할 수 있도록 결과를 제공하였다.
