Abstract

In this study, in order to observe the change in the amount of Tire and Road Wear Particles and the ratio of tire components in it according to the tire wear resistance performance, carried out the evaluation by varying the vulcanization reaction design of the tire tread rubber. In addition, in order to improve the reliability of the evaluation of Tire and Road Wear Particles, the evaluation was performed indoor laboratory test equipment that simulates the condition on real driving to exclude various environmental influences including minerals, driver's habits, road surface, weather, tire structure and pattern designs. After the evaluation in closed space, it is estimated that the amount of collected Tire and Road Wear Particles is 84% compared to 100% of the tire and road wear loss weight, of which 96.4~97.7% was around the road and 2.3~3.6% was in the air. As a result of analy sis of the collected Tire and Road Wear particles, the tire component existed 63~75% in the Tire and Road Wear Particles depending on the wear resistance performance of the tire.

본 연구에서는 타이어 마모성능에 따른 타이어 마모입자 생성량 및 도로변 미세먼지 물질로써 타이어 소재와 도로 포장체 구성 성분의 정량화 분석을 위한 기초적 연구를 수행하였다. 이에, 타이어 트레드 부위 고무의 가황제/가황촉진제의 사용비를 달리하여 고무배합물을 제조하였다. 제조된 고무배합물의 물성 평가 결과 가황제/가황촉진제의 사용비가 증가할수록 가교밀도는 감소하여 마모성능이 불리한 조건임을 확인하였다. 밀폐된 실내 마모시험기에서도 가교밀도가 감소할수록 타이어 마모입자 생성량은 증가하였고, 손실량 100% 대비 84~86%의 타이어 마모입자를 포집할 수 있었다. 타이어 마모입자 중, 96.4~97.7% 분산, 2.3~3.6% 비산되는 것으로 평가되었다. 포집된 타이어 마모입자의 화학분석 결과, 타이어의 마모성능에 따라 타이어 마모입자 내 타이어와 도로 구성 성분 비율(63 : 37 → 75 : 25)이 변화됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 타이어 마모성능에 따라 타이어 마모입자 발생에 대한 영향성을 관찰하기 위하여 실제 도로 현장의 조건 대비 가혹한 실내 마모환경으로부터 실험을 수행하였다. 이에 타이어 마모입자 발생이 도로 포장체 성분보다 더 높은 함량으로 분석되었다. 추후 실제 도로 환경에서 완제품 타이어와 실제 차량을 이용하여 자동차 도로변 미세먼지 저감을 위한 실증화 연구 방법을 도출할 계획이다.
