Abstract

To use the agricultural residues as the raw material of molded packaging material, the packaging trays were manufactured from rice-straw pulp. The physical properties were measured to compare non-treated trays with the addition trays, such as the addition of starch, rosin size, carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC), polyethylene glycol(PEG), alkylketene dimer(AKD), polyacryl amide(PAM). The results were as follows : 1. In the addition of starch, air permeability at addition of 5% was highest. Bursting strength and tensile strength were smaller than non-treated trays. 2. In the addition of rosin size, air permeability, bursting strength and tensile strength were smaller than non-treated trays. 3. In the addition of CMC, air permeability was higher than non-treated trays. Bursting strength and tensile strength were similar to non-treated trays. 4. In the addition of PEG, air permeability was higher than non-treated trays. Bursting strength at addition of 3% was the highest and tensile strength was smaller than non-treated trays. 5. In the addition of AKD, air permeability at addition of 1% and 5% was higher than non-treated trays. Bursting strength and tensile strength were smaller than non-treated trays. 6. In the addition of PAM, air permeability at addition of 0.01% was the highest. Tensile strength at addition of 0.01% were higher than non-treated trays. 7. The water absorption of the trays decreased with increasing adding of natural additives.

포장재로 많이 사용되어왔던 발포 폴리스틸렌(EPS)이 환경공해의 원인이 되므로 이를 대체하기 위하여 농업부산물인 볏짚을 포장재의 원료로 이용하고자 볏짚펄프로 성형포장재를 제조하고, 첨가제인 전분, rosin size제, CMC, PEG, AKD, PAM을 첨가량별로 첨가하여 그 물성변화를 무첨가시와 비교하였다. 첨가제첨가시 포장재의 물성 및 경제적인 면에서 AKD 1%를 첨가하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 판단되며, 흡수도는 모든 첨가제에서 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 무첨가시보다 감소되어 첨가제가 수분의 흡수를 억제하여 내수성이 증가하였다.
