Abstract

나노클레이는 높은 종횡비와 불연성, 나노 스케일의 크기로 인해 고분자 나노복합체의 첨가물로 널리 이용되고 있다. 최근엔 나노클레이를 폴리우레탄 폼에 적용함으로써, 열적 특성 및 기계적 특성이 향상되었다는 연구결과들이 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리우레탄 폼의 물성에 대한 나노클레이의 농도와 초음파 분산의 효과에 대해 기술하였다. 제조된 나노클레이/폴리우레탄 폼의 특성은 복원시간, 압축변형, 셀의 모양 및 인장 실험 등을 통해 분석되었다. 그 결과, 초음파처리는 나노클레이의 분산에 매우 효과적이었고, 소량 첨가 시에는 폼 물성의 향상을 보였으나, 3 wt% 이상의 나노클레이 첨가는 오히려 물성의 저하를 초래함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 초음파를 통해 분산시킨 20A 나노클레이 1 wt%가 첨가된 폴리우레탄 폼이 균일한 셀 사이즈와 뛰어난 치수안정성 등의 가장 최적화된 물성을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 건축용 단열재 등의 제조에 적용할 수 있을 것이

The nano-clay is widely used in polymer-nanocomposites due to the high aspect ratio, heat resistance and nano-scale dimension. In recent researches, the thermal and mechanical properties of polyurethane foam were improved with introducing the nano-clay. In this study, we describe the influence of ultrasonic treatment and content of nano-clay on properties of polyurethane foam. The nano-clay/polyurethane foam were characterized using their recovery time, compressive deflection, cell morphology and tensile test. The ultrasonic treatment was very effective for dispersion of nano-clay. Moreover, we found that introducing over 3 wt% of nano-clay bring the decrease of properties due to the poor dispersion. Expecially, ultrasonically treated 20A/polyurethane foam(1 wt%) showed greatly improved properties, such as homogeneous cell size and good dimension stability. We expect that our results could be applied to insulating materials for construction.
