Abstract

The article explains about development of flame retardant self-reinforced composites (FR-SRC) through compression molding technique by utilizing Polypropylene (PP), Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and chitosan. The effect of APP and chitosan on mechanical, thermal and flame retardant properties in FR-SRC were studied. The mechanical strength of FR-SRC is enhanced than Pure SRC. However, the strength is decreased significantly with increasing the concentration of both flame retardant fillers. But comparison, chitosan filled FR-SRC is stronger than APP filled FR-SRC. In case of flame retardancy, APP is more effective than chitosan. These results can be applicable to provide light weight and recyclable flame retardant self-reinforced composites for automobile and packaging industries, etc.

본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌(PP), 폴리프로필렌 직조섬유를 이용하여 자기강화 복합재료를 제조하고, 자기강화 복합재료에 암모늄 폴리포스페이트(APP) 및 키토산을 첨가하여 난연 자기강화 복합재료를 개발하였으며, 시험을 통하여 기계적 특성 및 난연성을 확인하였다. 시험결과, 자기강화 복합재료의 기계적 강도는 PP에 비해 크게 향상되었으나, 난연제를 첨가하는 양이 증가함에 따라 강도가 점차 감소하였다. 두 난연제 중에서는 키토산을 첨가한 자기강화복합재료가 APP를 첨가한 자기강화복합재료에 비하여 우수한 강도를 보였다. 난연성의 경우, APP를 첨가할 경우, 키토산을 첨가하는 것 보다 더욱 우수하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 자동차 및 포장산업에서 경량화 및 재활용을 위하여 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
