초록

말레인산 무수물을 그라프트시킨 폴리프로필렌(PP-g-MA)을 폴리아마이드 66(PA 66)/PP-g-MA 이원 블렌드 및 PA 66/polypropylene(PP)/PP-g-MA 삼원블렌드에 한 성분 및 상용화제로 각각 사용하였다. 본 연구는 이원 및 삼원블렌드 사이의 여러가지 물성의 차이를 조사하는 것이다. 평가된 물성으로는 인장강도, 굴곡탄성율. 열변형온도, 충격강도, 용융흐름지수 그리고 전단속도 증가에 따른 점도변화가 포함된다. 이원 블렌드의 충격강도는 모든 조성에서 삼원 블렌드 보다 우수하였는데 이는 PA 66 말단의 아민 그룹과 PP-g-MA의 산 무수물이 반응하여 이미드(imide) 그룹이 형성되어 PP-g-PA 66 공중합체의 합성이 분자량을 증가시키고 이 반응이 삼원 블렌드에서 보다 이원 블렌드에 더 많이 일어나는 것에 기인하는 것이다. 삼원 블렌드계의 경우 대부분의 물성이 이원 블렌드 보다 우수하였는데 이는 PP의 물성이 PP-g-MA의 물성보다 우수하기 때문이다. 충격에 매우 강한 70/30(PA 66/pp-g-MA) 및 80/20 조성의 이원 블렌드는 가공성이 나빠 상업적 응용에는 불리하다. 따라서, 상업적 응용에는 낮은 용융점도를 보이는 삼원 블렌드를 사용하는 것이 추천된다.

Maleic anhydride-grafted-polypropylene(PP-g-MA) were used as a blend component and a compatibilizer, respectively, for two reactive blends of polyamide 66(PA 66)PP-g-MA binary blends and PA 66/polypropylene(PP)/PP-g-MA ternary blends. The goal of this work was to investigate the property differences between binary and ternary blends. Tensile strength, flexural modulus, heat deflection temperature, impact strength, melt flow index, and the dependence of melt viscosity on the shear rate were examined. The impact strengths of binary blends were higher than those of ternary blends at all compositions, since the in situ synthesis of PP-g-PA 66 copolymer through the imide formation between the amine end group of PA 66 and the anhydride group of PP-g-MA gave the increase of molecular weight and was more popular in binary blends than in ternary blends. In case of ternary blends, most of the properties were superior to those of binary blends, owing to the better properties of PP compared with PP-g-MA. The toughened binary blends with 70/30(PA 66/PP-g-MA) and 80/20 ratios were not commercially applicable due to their poor processibility. So, the ternary blends which showed lower melt viscosities were recommended for the commercial applications.
