용융 블렌딩법에 의한 PPC/EVAc 블렌드의 모폴로지 및 열적 특성
Mophology and Thermal Property of PPC/EVAc Blend by Melting Blending
PPC (Polypropylene carbonate) has been an charming green material due to containing carbon dioxide. PPC is made from copolymerization of CO2 with propylene oxide (PO) using a catalyst. However this polymer has fool mechanical property and relatively low glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal decomposition temperature. Therefore, we blended PPC and EVAc (ethylene vinyl acetate) with overall compositions to enhance mechanical property and thermal property. Mechanical property and thermal property of PPC/EVAc blends was investigated by DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer) and TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis) respectively. Compatibility of PPC/EVAc blends was proved by FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope). As a result, we could find all compositions of PPC/EVAc blends are immiscible. However we could see thermal stability is improved as EVAc content increased.
