Abstract

Pultrusion process of phenolic foam composite is investigated. Phenolic foam composites provide heat and flame resistance with less weight. When made into foam, a variety of properties can be obtained with different bubble size and number density. In this study, effect of process variables on the foaming characteristics of phenolic resin composites during pultrusion process has been studied experimentally. The process variables considered are the heating temperature and the pulling speed as well as the mass fraction of blowing agent. Experiments were performed using a laboratory scale pultrusion apparatus. Optimal process condition was found by observing the micro-morphology.

본 논문에서는 발포 복합재료의 제작을 위한 펄트루전 공정의 최적화에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 페놀 수지가 기지 재료로 사용된 발포 복합재료는 경량임에도 불구하고 높은 기계적 강도와 열, 화염에 대한 저항력을 지닌다는 장점이 있다. 또한 제조 과정 중의 기포의 핵 생성율과 성장 시간, 생성된 기포의 균일도에 따라서 다양한 특성의 변화를 보이며 이는 공정 중의 가열 온도, 당김 속도, 그리고 포함된 발포제의 양, 초기온도, 경화재의 양 등 여러 요소의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 주요 공정변수인 가열 온도, 당김 속도 그리고 발포제의 양에 따른 발포 거동을 미세 형상의 관찰을 통해 실험적으로 분석하였다.
