고분자 전해질 막의 성능을 개선하고자 사용된 대표적인 무기물인 solid acid가 첨가된 복합막의 경우 고온에서 높은 열안정성을 나타내며 친수성이 강해지는 장점을 나타내지만 물에 녹는 단점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 phosphotungstic acid(PWA)의 이온전도성을 증가시키며 물에 용해되는 성질을 제거하기 위하여 실리카 입자를 sol-gel법을 이용하여 술폰산기와 아민그룹을 도입시킨 입자를 제조한 후 sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)(SPAES)고분자에 첨가하여 복합막을 제조하였으며 특성평가가 이루어졌다.
Compared to steel of the same weight in steel concrete structures, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is known to have greater strength and better resistance to corrosion. As such, it is being proposed as an effective structural material. Despite its many advantages, FRP has not been rapidly adopted in civil structures. This is because it is more expensive, prone to brittle fracture, and has weak fire resistance. To examine changes in the mechanical properties of FRP and the effectiveness of fire resistant coating, this study conducted tensile tests on coated and uncoated specimens over varying temperature. Glass fiber has excellent fire resistance since it does not melt or burn at high temperatures. However, epoxy is unable to withstand exposure to temperatures exceeding the transition temperature, thus leading to unsatisfactory structural performance and fire resistance. This study investigated the behavioral changes in FRP by exposing the specimens to temperatures ranging from room temperature (approx. 25℃) to 300℃, so as to improve the fire resistance of epoxy.
The composite of porous silicon (Si) and amorphous carbon (C) is prepared by pyrolysis of a nano-porous Si + pitch mixture. The nano-porous Si is prepared by mechanical milling of magnesium powder with silicon monoxide (SiO) followed by removal of MgO with hydrochloric acid (etching process). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of porous Si (64.52 m2g−1) is much higher than that before etching Si/MgO (4.28 m2g−1) which indicates pores are formed in Si after the etching process. Cycling stability is examined for the nano-porous Si + C composite and the result is compared with the composite of nonporous Si + C. The capacity retention of the former composite is 59.6% after 50 charge/discharge cycles while the latter shows only 28.0%. The pores of Si formed after the etching process is believed to accommodate large volumetric change of Si during charging and discharging process.
Silicon-carbon composite was prepared by the magnesiothermic reduction of mesoporous silica and subsequent impregnation with a carbon precursor. This was applied for use as an anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Well-ordered mesoporous silica(SBA-15) was employed as a starting material for the mesoporous silicon, and sucrose was used as a carbon source. It was found that complete removal of by-products (Mg2Si and Mg2SiO4) formed by side reactions of silica and magnesium during the magnesiothermic reduction, was a crucial factor for successful formation of mesoporous silicon. Successful formation of the silicon-carbon composite was well confirmed by appropriate characterization tools (e.g., N2 adsorption-desorption, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses). A lithium-ion battery was fabricated using the prepared silicon-carbon composite as the anode, and lithium foil as the counter-electrode. Electrochemical analysis revealed that the silicon-carbon composite showed better cycling stability than graphite, when used as the anode in the lithium-ion battery. This improvement could be due to the fact that carbon efficiently suppressed the change in volume of the silicon material caused by the charge-discharge cycle. This indicates that silicon-carbon composite, prepared via the magnesiothermic reduction and impregnation methods, could be an efficient anode material for lithium ion batteries.
This paper shows the feasibility on the application of E-glass fiber/epoxy(GFRP) composite materials to an automotive leaf spring. In order to keep much lighter weight by replacing the steel with the composite material, it is important to optimize the material parameters and design variables consisting of the structure. This paper focused on the effects of material compositions and its fiber orientations for estimating the static behaviors of leaf spring. First of all, basic material properties of GFRP composite were measured by five types of coupon specimens from ASTM standard test. The reverse implementation was also done to obtain the complete set of in-situ fiber and matrix properties from ply test results. Finally, the static spring rates was examined for the variation of thickness and material parameters such as fiber angles and resin contents of composite leaf spring.
A powder in sheath rolling method was applied to the fabrication of a carbon nano tube (CNT) reinforced aluminum composite. A 6061 aluminum alloy tube with outer diameter of 31 mm and wall thickness of 2 mm was used as a sheath material. A mixture of pure aluminum powder and CNTs with a volume content of 5% was filled in the tube by tap filling and then processed to an 85% reduction using multi-pass rolling after heating for 0.5 h at 400˚C. The specimen was then further processed at 400˚C by multi-pass hot rolling. The specimen was then annealed for 1 h at various temperatures that ranged from 100 to 500˚C. The relative density of the 5vol%CNT/Al composite fabricated using powder in sheath rolling increased with increasing of the rolling reduction, becoming about 97% after hot rolling under 96 % total reduction. The relative density of the composite hardly changed regardless of the increasing of the annealing temperature. The average hardness also had only slight dependence on the annealing temperature. However, the tensile strength of the composite containing the 6061 aluminum sheath decreased and the fracture elongation increased with increasing of the annealing temperature. It is concluded that the powder in sheath rolling method is an effective process for fabrication of CNT reinforced Al matrix composites.
In paper after the strong earthquake of recently the Korea neighborhood, the Korean government survey show that the 86% of school buildings in Korea are in potential damage risk and only 14% of them are designed as earthquake-resistance buildings. Earthquake Reinforcing projects of school have been a leading by the ministry of education, however their reinforcing methods done by not proved a engineering by experiment which results in uneconomical and uneffective rehabilitation for the future earthquake. An experimental and analytical study have been conducted for the shear reinforcing method of column by axis and horizontal axis load using attaching composite beam. Based on the previous research, in this study, Design examples are given to show the performance evaluation for the column reinforcing of old school buildings using nonlinear analysis is going to be conducted and strengthening method is going to be on the market after their performance is proved by the test.
Almost all buildings and infrastructures made of advanced composite materials are fabricated without proper design. Unlike airplanes or automobiles, prototype test is impossible. One cannot destroy 10 story buildings or 100-meter long span bridges. People try to build 100-story buildings or several thousand meter long span bridges. In order to realize "composites in construction", the following subjects must be studied in detail, for his design. Concept optimization, Simple method of analysis, Folded plate theory, Size effects in failure, and Critical natural frequency. Unlike the design procedure with conventional materials, his design should include material design, selection of manufacturing methods, and quality control methods, in addition to the fabrication method. In this paper, concept optimization and folded plate theory are presented for practicing engineers.
In this study, the random material parameter, especially the Poisson's ratio is taken into account in the stochastic finite element formulation for composite laminate plate. Since the parameter is embedded into the constitutive relation in the fraction form, direct consideration of the parameter in the formulation is not ease. In order to overcome this difficulty, we applied the Taylor's expansion to the fraction form to obtain a series expansion in ascending order of stochastic field function. With this, the formulation that considers the randomness in the Poisson's ratio is established. The adequacy of the proposed formulation is observed by means of Monte Carlo simulation.
대형구조물 설계 건설시 가장 큰 제한 조건은 모든 건설재료에는 치수의 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문 에서는 고전 보 이론에 의하여 단순 지지된 비등방성 슬래브의 처짐값을 구한 후 그 값을 비교 하였고, 특별 직교이방성 판 이론에 의하여 콘크리트와 샌드위치 교량의 물성을 비교하여 그 결과에 따른 처짐비와 강성값을 비교하였다. 경계조건은 임의의 경계조건을 갖는 판에 대한 해석해가 없기 때문에 부득이하게 네변이 모두 단순지지 되었을 경 우로 해석을 하였고 복합재료의 인장강도는 콘크리트나 강재보다 훨씬 높으므로 비교대상은 처짐으로 하였다. 즉, 철근 콘크리트와 동일하거나 작은 처짐을 일으키는 몇 가지 샌드위치판을 선택하여 고려하였다.

본 논문은 복합재료 패널로 보강된 철근 콘크리트 보의 휨 실험과 해석을 통하여 패널의 보강효과에 대하여 알아보고자 한다. FRP 복합재료 패널은 전통적인 재료인 강재와 콘크리트에 비해 단위 무게당 강도 및 강성이 크고 부식에 대한 높은 저항성, 절연성, 고내구성 및 낮은 열전도성 등 우수한 물성으로 유지관리 측면에서 매우 유리하여 최근 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 범용 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 복합재료 패널로 보강된 철근 콘크리트 보의 극한 하중을 예측하고 실험을 수행하여 그 보강효과에 대한 고찰하였다. 복합재료 패널은 복합재료 패널 층의 유리섬유직조 형태에 따라 LT, DB, DBT로 구분하고 복합재료 패널의 층 개수에 따라 2ply, 3ply로 구분하였다. 실험을 수행한 결과, 해석과 일치하였으며 복합재료 패널로 보강한 철근 콘크리트 보가 극 한강도 측면에서 효율적이었다는 결론도 얻었다.
Petroleum pitch and coke with wet mixture method or with dry mixture method were investigated to develop the composite anodic carbon material of high power lithium ion battery. Cokes coated with pitch were obtained by the heat treatment of mixture of cokes and pitch with different weight ratios at 800~1200℃. The charge and discharge characteristic of the consequent composite anodic carbon material assembled in batteries was tested. Cokes with wet mixture method have a smooth surface and their capacity changed little with changing temperature and content as compared to the cokes with dry mixture method. Although the reversible capacities showed different values by the anode manufacturing method, the composite anode with the mixture of 20 wt% of petroleum pitch and 80 wt% of coke showed the higher power capability and initial efficiency than the pitch based anode. However, the reversible capacity of the composite anode showed the reduced value as compared with the pitch based anode.
