Abstract

Profiles development of melt spinning process of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was simulated via a numerical method and the radial temperature distribution was calculated using finite difference method. The spinning speed ranged from 1 km/min to 5 km/min was analyzed and the effect of spinning conditions on the radial temperature distribution was investigated. At low spinning speed, the difference between PLA and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was relatively small. As the spinning speed increased, the difference in velocity profile became prominent. PLA showed a slower spinning speed than PET and solidified more slowly. The temperature difference between the core and surface of the PLA filament reached 4.6 K, which was less than that of PET filament with a difference of 10.4 K. The radial temperature difference increased with increasing the cooling-air velocity and the spinning temperature.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) 용융방사공정의 속도, 직경, 온도, 인장응력 분포를 구하기 위해 수치모사를 실시하였다. 유한차분법을 이용하여 반지름 방향으로의 온도분포곡선을 구하였다. 방사속도 1 km/min에서 5 km/min까지 방사속도에 따른 PLA 방사공정의 변화와 poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)와의 거동을 비교해 보았고, 방사공정변수가 섬유 중심부와 표면과의 온도차에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. PLA는 용융온도가 PET에 비해 낮음에도 불구하고 동일 방사조건에서 더딘 냉각속도를 보였고 방사거리에 따른 방사속도의 증가도 PET가 더 빠른 양상을 나타내었다. PLA의 섬유중심부와 섬유표면과의 온도차는 약 4.6 K에 이르렀는데, 이는 PET의 10.4 K에 비하여 낮은 값이다. PLA 섬유중심부와 표면과의 온도차는 냉각풍속도와 방사온도가 증가할수록 증가하였고, 냉각풍 온도가 감소할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.
