Abstract

The retardation effects of a new polymeric UV stabilizer, DGEBA-HALS, on the UV degradation of SBR and NR were investigated in this study. The UV degradation behaviors of three different rubber compounds, without any photostabilizer and with commercial Cyabsorb UV-3529 and DGEBA-HALS, were compared. Also, the physical characteristics such as Young's modulus, tensile strength, blow-off deformation and crosslink density were examined. The Young's modulus was increased by UV irradiation for all samples, and the tensile strength, after UV irradiation, of the compound with UV stabilizer was better than that of the compound without stabilizer. Especially, the tensile strength of UV irradiated NR was improved by adding DGEBA-HALS. The results of blow-off deformation were in accord with those of Young's modulus. The degree of transmission of SBR compounds obtained from UV-vis transmission spectra was improved about 4% by adding the UV stabilizer. Commercial Cyabsorb UJV-3529 and DGEBA-HALS showed similar trends of transmission. The SEM photographs of SBR surface showed that the size of cracks created by UV irradiation became smaller by adding UV stabilizer. In particular, it is observed that the stabilization effect of DGEBA-HALS was better than that of commercial Cyabsorb UV-3529.

본 연구에서는 고분자형 자외선 안정제 DGEBA-HALS의 광분해 억제 효과를 평가하기 위해 SBR과 NR 고무를 사용하여 광안정제 첨가에 따른 UV 조사 영향을 고찰하였다. 이를 위해 광안정제를 첨가하지 않은 배합고무, 상용화된 광안정제인 Cyabsorb UV-3529를 첨가한 배합고무, 그리고 고분자형 DGEBA-HALS를 첨가한 배합고무의 영율, 인장강도, blow-off 변형, 가교밀도 측정을 통한 시편의 물리적 특성변화 등을 관찰하였다. UV 조사 후 모든 시편에서 영율이 증가하였으며 인장강도는 광안정제를 첨가한 시편이 첨가하지 않은 시편보다 우수했다. 특히 NR의 경우 DGEBA-HALS 첨가 시 인장강도가 향상되었다. Blow-off 변형 실험결과도 영율 실험 결과와 비슷하였다. UV-vis transmission spectra를 통한 SBR 배합고무의 투과도를 조사한 결과 광안정제를 첨가함으로써 약 4%의 향상된 투과도를 보였다. Cyabsorb UV-3529와 DGEBA-HALS의 첨가는 비슷한 경향의 투과도를 나타내었다. SEM을 통해 시편의 표면을 관찰한 결과 광안정제를 첨가함으로써 UV 조사에 의한 균열의 크기가 작아짐을 알 수 있었고, 특히 DGEBA-HALS는 상용화된 Cyabsorb UV-3529 보다 더 좋은 광분해 안정효과를 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
