초록

셀룰로오스계 천연섬유인 kenaf를 천연고무와 함께 균일하게 배합한 후 압축성형 방법을 사용하여 천연섬유/천연고무 복합재료를 제조하였으며, 이들의 가황거동, 경도, 인장특성, 인열강도 및 정적, 동적 특성에 미치는 kenaf 섬유함량의 영향을 조사하였다. 복합재료를 구성하는 천연섬유의 함량은 천연고무 및 배합제 대비 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 phr이었다. 실험결과 천연고무의 여러 가지 특성이 kenaf 섬유의 함량에 의존한다는 것을 나타내었다. Kenaf 섬유함량이 증가함에 따라 천연고무의 가황에 요구되는 토크는 높아진 반면 가황시간은 감소되었다. Kenaf/천연고무 복합재료의 경도, 인장탄성률과 인열강도는 섬유함량이 증가할수록 점차적으로 증가한 반면, 인장강도와 파단신장률 은 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 kenaf 섬유함량이 증가함에 따라 천연고무의 정적 특성보다는 동적 특성의 변화가 더욱 크게 나타났다. 고무에 가해지는 에너지의 감쇄 또는 흡수와 밀접한 관계가 있는 손실인자도 섬유함량에 비례하여 증가하였다.

Natural fiber/natural rubber composites were fabricated by uniformly compounding natural rubber and cellulose- based natural fiber kenaf and then by compression molding. The effect of kenaf fiber content on their vulcanization behavior, hardness, tensile properties, tear strength and static and dynamic properties was investigated. The contents of kenaf fiber in the composites were 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 phr, compared to natural rubber and additives. The result indicated that various properties of natural rubber depended on the kenaf fiber content. With increasing kenaf fiber content, the torque for vulcanization of natural rubber was increased whereas the vulcanization time was reduced as well. The hardness, tensile modulus and tear strength of kenaf/natural rubber composites were gradually decreased with the fiber content whereas the tensile strength and elongation at break were decreased. Also, with increasing the kenaf fiber content the dynamic property of natural rubber was changed more greatly than the static property. The loss factor, which is closely related with the damping or absorption of the energy given to natural rubber, was proportionally increased with the fiber content.
