Professor YOUN Jae Ryoun
Professor YOUN Jae Ryoun (Department of Materials Science) and his research team have developed an innovative method to fabricate polymer composites with well dispersed graphene particles in the matrix resin by using solvent free powder mixing and in-situ polymerization of a low viscosity oligomer resin. The team succeeded in producing composites filled with up to 20wt% (weight percent) of graphene particles by the solvent free process while maintaining a high degree of dispersion. The electrical conductivity of the composite was consistent with the theoretically obtained effective electrical conductivity based on the mean field micromechanical analysis with the Mori-Tanaka model assuming ideal dispersion.
