Analysis of Research Trend of Composite Material Using CNT

Article Preview

Abstract:

Carbon nanotube (CNT) is one of the filling materials used as a reinforcing material of composite material and it was discovered by Iijima in 1991. Graphite is made up of a multilayer structure of plate forming beehive-like hexagon rings of carbon elements. CNT is very small considering its1~3 mm of diameter, and its chemical stability and various excellent characteristics are attracting attention as a reinforcement of composite material. In this study, we conducted a bibliometrics analysis using research paper information to find the trend of research using CNT, which is being actively studied recently. The result of the analysis showed that CNT composite material is being studied mainly in China, USA, and Korea, and these countries have large amount of citation of the material. As for detailed research trend, more studies are actively carried out using epoxy as matrix material. The analysis also showed studies on weightlightening of material and CNT dispersion are being made the most actively. The value of this study can be found in providing useful information in establishing R&D strategy in related areas by monitoring the research trend.
