초록

본 연구에서는 Kevlar 직물에 전단농화 특성을 갖는 나노 실리카 입자를 함침시켜 저속충격 특성 및 마찰특성 실험을 수행하였다. 나노입자의 크기에 따른 영향력을 평가하기 위해 100nm, 300nm, 500nm 직경크기의 구형 실리카 입자를 충진한 전단농화유체를 제작하였으며 유변물성 시험을 통해 전단담화 현상 및 급격히 점성이 증가하는 전단농화현상을 확인하였다. 전단농화유체를 Kevlar 직물에 함침시켜 저속 낙하 충격시험을 수행한 결과 나노입자 처리를 한 Kevlar 직물에서 우수한 충격흡수 특성을 보였으며 특히 함침된 나노입자의 크기가 작을수록 충격흡수양이 증가하였고 변형의 양도 가장 적게 나타났다. Kevlar 직물 내에서의 얀의 Pull-out 실험과 직물간 마찰력 실험을 통해 나노입자의 크기가 작을수록 전단농화 현상으로 인한 마찰력의 증가가 더욱 크게 나타남을 확인하였다. 이러한 마찰력의 증가가 얀의 Pull-out 에너지를 증가시키게 되어 주요 충격흡수 메커니즘으로 작용하게 되는 것이다.

In this study, shear thickening fluid (STF) filled with rigid nano silica particles was impregnated in plain woven Kevlar fabrics to improve the impact resistance performance. The nano silica particles with an average diameter of 100nm, 300nm, and 500nm were used to make shear thickening fluid to estimate the effect of particle size on the impact behavior of STF impregnated Kevlar fabrics. The yam pull-out and frictional tests were conducted to estimate the effect of impregnated STF on the frictional characteristics. The test results showed that the friction forces were dramatically increased at the STF onset shear strain rates that were measured in preliminary rheology tests. The low speed impact tests were performed using the drop test machine. The results showed that the impregnated STF improved the impact resistance performance of the Kevlar fabrics in terms of the impact energy absorption and the deformation. It has been shown through tests that the impregnated STF affects the interfacial friction which contributes to improve the energy absorption in the Kevlar fabrics. Especially, the impregnation of the STF with the smaller particle size into the Kevlar fabrics showed the better performance in impact energy absorption.
