라이오셀 섬유의 열 안정성과 내산화성을 향상시키기 위하여 $Na_3PO_4$ 수용액으로 내염화 처리를 실시하였다. 다양한 공정조건으로 라이오셀 섬유를 내염화 처리한 후 열 안정성과 내산화성을 측정 및 분석하고 그에 따른 메커니즘을 고찰하였다. 내염화 처리된 라이오셀 섬유의 적분 열분해 온도(integral procedural decomposition temperature, IPDT)와 활성화 에너지(activation energy, $E_a$)값은 각각 약 30, 160%로 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 $Na_3PO_4$가 연소 시 에스테르화 반응, 탈수소화 반응 및 C-C 결합의 분해반응으로 char 형성을 촉진하여 섬유 표면에 보호층을 형성하여, 고분자 수지 내부로 산소와 열 공급을 물리적으로 차단하여 열 안정성과 내산화성이 향상된 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, $Na_3PO_4$ 수용액을 이용하여 열 안정성과 내산화성이 향상된 라이오셀을 제조하였고, 내염화 처리공정의 최적화된 인자 및 메커니즘을 고찰하였다.

In this study, combustion and smoke release characteristics of a non-class 1E cable for nuclear power plants were investigated according to aging period. The aging was reproduced through an accelerated aging method for interval of 10 years :10, 20, 30 and 40 year, which was applied the Arrhenius equation. The cable was subjected to accelerated aging. In order to understand combustion and smoke release characteristics, the cone calorimeter test was performed according to the standard code of KS F ISO 5660-1. Heat release rate, mass loss rate, average rate of heat emission and smoke production rate were examined through cone calorimeter test. Fire performance index, fire growth index and smoke factor were derived from test results for the comparison of quantitative fire risk. When comparing the fire performance index and the fire growth index, the early fire risk tends to decrease as aging progresses, which might be attributed from the fact that the volatile substances of cables were evaporated. However, when comparing the heat release rate, average rate of heat emission and mass loss rate, which represent the mid and late periods of the fire risk, the values of accelerated aging cables were much higher than those of non-aged cable, which signifies the unstable formation of the char layer resulted in the change in the performance of flame retardants. In addition, the results from the smoke characteristics show that the accelerated aging cables were lager than the non-aged cables in terms of overall fire risk. These results can be used as baseline data when assessing fire risk of cables and establishing fire safety code for nuclear power plants.
