Abstract

전분 완충재의 물리적, 기계적 특성을 개선하기 위한 노력들이 많이 이루어지고 있지만 기존의 플라스틱 완충재와 비교하면 더 많은 노력이 요구되어진다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 전분 완충재의 물리적 기계적 특성에 대한 유연제(plasticizers)와 첨가제(additives)의 영향을 규명하였다. 전분과 합성수지 그리고 여러 유연제 또는 첨가제를 혼합한 뒤 Brabender사의 일축 압출기를 이용하여 여러 축속도(60~120 rpm)에서 압출 가공한 후 물리적, 기계적 특성을 조사하였다. 전분 완충재의 밀도(bulk density)와 압축성(bulk compressibility)은 혼합물에서 물의 비율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였지만, 복원성(bulk resiliency)은 조금 감소하였다. 측정되어진 전분 완충재의 특성은 변형전분(hydroxypropylated starch)의 사용으로 향상되었다. 또한, glycerol, glycerol monostearate 그리고 alkylglucosides의 첨가도 전분 완충재의 밀도와 압축성을 증가시켰다. 염화철(II) 0.5%을 포함한 전분 완충재는 첨가제를 포함하지 않은 전분 완충재에 비하여 밀도 42%와 압축성 58%가 각각 감소한 반면, 복원성은 13%포인트 증가하였다. 변형전분과 염화철(II)이 첨가된 전분 완충재는 기존의 플라스틱 완충재에 비하여 밀도와 압축성은 떨어지지만, 대체 사용되어질 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
