Abstract

For the development of the environment-friendly insulating composite materials, natural cellulose (wood chip and sawdust) was used as a core material and activated Hwangtoh was used as a binder. Various specimens were prepared with the water/binder ratio and natural cellulose/binder ratio. The physical properties of these specimens were then investigated through compressive and flexural strength test, absorption test, hot water resistance test, thermal conductivity, measurement of pore distribution and observation of micro-structures using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results showed that the absorption ratio increased with the increase of natural cellulose/binder ratio but decreased remarkably with the increase of polymer/binder ratio. The compressive and flexural strength development varied appreciably with the increase of water/binder ratio and natural cellulose/binder ratio. On the other hand, thermal conductivity decreased with the increase of natural cellulose/binder ratio and polymer/binder ratio. Through SEM, it was found that activated Hwangtoh that reacted with water formed a hydrate crystal leading to the compact structure and the total pore volume of the specimen using activated Hwangtoh was smaller than that of the non-activated Hwangtoh.

친환경 복합단열재를 개발하기 위하여 천연섬유질(목재칩 및 톱밥)을 심재로, 활성황토를 결합재로 사용하였다. 물/결합재비 및 천연섬유질/결합재비를 다양하게 변화시켜 공시체를 제작하였으며, 공시체의 제 물성을 조사하기 위하여 압축 및 휨강도, 흡수성, 내열수성, 열전도도, 세공분포측정 및 SEM에 의한 미세조직 관찰을 실시하였다. 그 결과 흡수율은 천연섬유질/결합재비가 증가될수록 증가되었으나 폴리머/결합재비 증가에 따라 현저히 감소되었다. 압축 및 휨강도는 물/결합재비 및 천연섬유질/결합재비에 따라 다양한 특성을 나타내었다. 천연섬유질/결합재비 및 폴리머/결합재비가 증가됨에 따라 열전도도는 감소되었다. SEM조사에서 활성황토 결합재는 수화결정체가 잘 형성되어 치밀한 조직을 관찰할 수 있었고, 활성황토를 결합재로 사용한 시편의 총세공량은 생황토를 결합재로 사용한 시편의 총세공량에 비하여 적게 나타났다.
