Abstract

The sound absorption coefficient and sound transmission loss of graphite intercalation compound (GIC) included epoxy composites were investigated. Epoxy resin was infused into the expanded GIC and the impedance tube method was employed to measure the sound absorption coefficient and sound transmission loss. Scanning electron microscopy photographs showed uniform distribution of the GIC in the epoxy matrix. The surface density of epoxy/GIC (20 wt%) composites decreased about 56% compared to that of pure epoxy. The sound absorption coefficient of composites increased about 3 times at the frequency range of 500~1000 Hz compared to the pure epoxy. The sound transmission loss of composites decreased with increasing the GIC content and it is attributed to the increase of pores in the composites.

팽창된 그라파이트 인터칼레이션 컴파운드에 에폭시 수지를 주입하여 제조한 복합재료의 흡 차음성을 연구하였다. 관내법을 이용하여 복합재료의 흡음률과 음향투과손실을 측정하였다. 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 에폭시 매트릭스 내부에 그라파이트 인터칼레이션 컴파운드가 무질서한 방향으로 균일하게 분산된 것을 확인하였다. 그라파이트 인터칼레이션 컴파운드 함량이 증가함에 따라 복합재료의 면밀도가 감소하였으며, epoxy/(GIC 20 wt%) 복합재료의 면밀도는 순수 에폭시에 비하여 56% 감소하였다. 500~1000 Hz 주파수 영역에서 복합재료의 흡음률은 순수 에폭시에 비해 3배 정도 증가하였다. 그라파이트 인터칼레이션 컴파운드의 함량이 증가함에 따라 복합재료에 포함된 기공의 비율이 증가하여 순수 에폭시에 비하여 복합재료의 음향투과손실이 감소하는 것으로 판단된다.
