초록
본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌(PP)과 올레핀계 열가소성 엘라스토머(TPO)를 생분해성 고분자인 폴리카프로락톤(PCL)과 각각 블렌드할 경우 상용화제의 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에 사용한 TPO는 PP(80 wt%), EPDM(15 wt%) 그리고 Talc(5 wt%) 로 구성된 혼합체이며, 상용화제로는 maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene(PP-g-MAH)와 maleic anhydride grafted styrene-(ethylene-co-butene)-styrene copolymer(SEBS-g-MAH)를 사용하였다. PP/PCL 그리고 TPO/PCL 각각의 블 렌드에서, PP-g-MAH 를 상용화제로 첨가한 경우 인장강도가 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 충격강도의 경우에는 rubber를 포함하고 있는 SEBS-g-MAH를 상용화제로 사용하였을 때 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다. PP/PCL 블렌드에 PP-g-MAH 상용화제를 첨가한 결과 PCL의 droplet 크기가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 유변물성 측정결과 상용화제 첨가에 따라 각각 블렌드에서 복합점도 변화가 작음을 알 수 있었는데 이것은 상용화제가 블렌드의 상용성 변화에 미치는 영향이 작아 용융점도에 미치는 영향이 미미하기 때문으로 사료된다. 요약하면, 블렌드의 기계적 물성, 모폴로지 및 유변학적 물성 측정 결과 PP/PCL과 TPO/PCL 각각의 블렌드에서 PP-g-MAH 상용화제는 PCL droplet 크기를 감소시켜 인장강도를 향상시키는 역할을 하였으며, SEBS-g-MAH 는 충격강도를 향상시키는 보강제로서의 역할을 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
The effects of compatibilizers on the mechanical and rheological properties of PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends have been studied. The thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) consists of PP (80 wt%), EPDM (15 wt%) and Talc (5 wt%). Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) and maleic anhydride grafted styrene-(ethylene-co-butene)-styrene copolymer (SEBS-g-MAH) were used as compatibilizers. In mechanical properties of PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends, tensile strength was increased when PP-g-MAH was used as a compatibilizer, and impact strength was increased when SEBS-g-MAH was used as a compatibilizer. From the results of SEM morphology of PP/PCL blend, PCL droplet size was decreased by the addition of PP-g-MAH. From the results of rheological property, complex viscosity of the PP/ PCL and TPO/PCL blends did not change appreciably when the compatibilizers were added. From the results of mechanical, morphological and rheological properties of the blends, PP-g-MAH acted as a compatibilizer to increase the tensile strength of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends. While SEBS-g-MAH acted as a impact modifier to increase the impact strength of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends.
