Abstract

In this study, in order to complete curing reaction of the molding compound comprising an epoxy/anhydride at $71^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours, metal coordination complexes such as cobalt (II) acetylacetonate, potassium acetylacetonate, iron (III) acetylacetonate and chromium (III) octoate as a catalyst were applied to the epoxy/anhydride compounds respectively. The weight ratio of an epoxy part/an anhydride part was adjusted to improve the mechanical properties of the molding compound. According to the experimental results, an epoxy/anhydride compound containing chromium (III) octoate showed a high conversion at $71^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours as well as a proper processability at room temperature among the several metal coordination complexes. For the mechanical properties of the cured epoxy/anhydride compound, the compounds containing weight ratio from 0.9/1 to 0.5/1 of the epoxy part/anhydride part with chromium (III) octoate showed the high flexural strength, and higher compressive strength was shown with increasing of the hardener part.

본 연구에서는, $71^{\circ}C/40$ 시간의 경화 조건에서 에폭시/산무수물로 구성된 몰딩 컴파운드를 경화시키기 위하여 촉매로서 코발트 (II) 아세틸아세토네이트, 칼륨 아세틸아세토네이트, 철 (III) 아세틸아세토네이트 및 크롬 (III) 옥토에이트와 같은 다양한 금속 착화합물들을 각각 적용하였고, 몰딩 컴파운드의 기계적 강도를 향상시키기 위하여 에폭시 부/경화제 부의 무게비를 조절하였다. 실험 결과에 따라 크롬 (III) 옥토에이트 촉매는 $71^{\circ}C/40$ 시간의 경화조건에서 몰딩 컴파운드의 경화 반응을 완료시킬 뿐만 아니라 크롬 (III) 옥토에이트 촉매가 적용된 컴파운드는 상온에서 적절한 가공성을 나타내었다. 경화된 몰딩 컴파운드의 기계적 특성에서는 에폭시 부/경화제 부의 무게비가 0.9/1에서 0.5/1 사이에서 제조된 컴파운드가 가장 높은 굴곡강도를 나타내었고, 경화제 부의 함량이 증가함에 따라 더 높은 압축 강도를 나타내었다.
