Abstract
In this work, the effect of electroless Ni-plating of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on thermal conductivity and fracture toughness properties of MWCNTs/Al2O3/epoxy composites was investigated. The surface properties of the Ni-plated MWCNTs were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Thermal conductivity was tested using a thermal conductivity measuring system. The fracture toughness of the composites was carried out through the critical stress intensity factor (KIC) measurement. As a result, the electroless Ni-plated MWCNTs led to a significant change of surface characteristics of the MWCNTs. Thermal conductivity and fracture toughness of the MWCNTs/Al2O3/epoxy composites were greater than those of non-treated ones. These results were probably due to the improvement of intermolecular interaction between the Ni-MWCNTs and the matrix resins.

본 연구에서는 무전해 니켈도금에 따른 탄소나노튜브의 표면특성변화가 알루미나강화 에폭시 복합재료의 열전도도 및 파괴인성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 무전해 니켈도금된 탄소나노튜브의 표면특성은 주사전자 현미경(SEM), X-선 광전자분광기(XPS), X-선 회절분석(XRD)을 통하여 알아보았다. 열전도도는 열전도율 측정 시스템으로 측정하였고, 파괴인성은 만능시험기(UTM)를 이용한 임계응력세기인자(KIC)를 측정하여 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 무전해 니켈도금은 탄소나노튜브의 표면특성의 변화를 가져오며, 니켈도금된 MWCNTs(Ni-MWCNTs)가 들어 있는 경우 미처리 MWCNTs와 비교하여 우수한 열전도도 및 파괴인성을 보였다. 이는 Ni-MWCNTs와 에폭시수지와의 분자간 상호작용의 향상 때문이라 판단된다.
