본 연구에서 염화비닐벤질(vinylbenzyl chloride) 단량체는 동시조사방법을 이용하여 poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene)(FEP), poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-perfluoropropylvinyl ether)(PFA), poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene)(ETFE) 불소고분자 필름에 성공적으로 그래프트되었다. 실험 결과 같은 조사조건을 적용할 경우 다른 불소고분자 필름보다 ETFE 불소필름에 PVBC 고분자가 쉽게 그래프트됨을 확인하였다. 그래프트된 필름들은 FTIR, TGA, SEM-EDS 기기들을 사용하여 분석하였다. 그래프트된 필름의 파단신장률은 그래프트률이 증가할수록 감소되는 것을 확인하였으며 ETFE에 그래프트된 필름은 다른 불소고분자에 그래프트된 필름들과 비교하여 더 좋은 기계특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil is a novel structural material which has being used in shell and spatial structures. This paper studies biaxial creep property of ETFE foil by creep tests and numerical simulation. Biaxial creep tests of cruciform specimens were performed using three stress ratios, 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2, which showed that creep coefficients in biaxial tension were much smaller than those in uniaxial one. Then, a reduction factor was introduced to take account of this biaxial effect, and relation between the reduction factor and stress ratio was established. Circular bubble creep test and triangle cushion creep test of ETFE foil were performed to verify the relation. Interpolation was adopted to consider creep stress and reduction factor was involved to take account of biaxial effect in numerical simulation. Simulation results of the bubble creep test embraced a good agreement with those measuring ones. In triangle cushion creep test, creep displacements from numerical simulation showed a good agreement with those from creep test at the center and lower foil measuring points.

에틸렌-테트라플르오르에틸렌(ETFE) 공중합체의 비등온 결정화 거동을 DSC와 imaging FTIR을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 변형 비등온 Avrami 분석 결과, DSC에 의한 열분석의 경우 상대적으로 적은 결정화 엔탈피 변화로 인하여 Avrami 식에 의한 ln[-ln(1-X(t))] vs. ln(t) 곡선이 선형을 이루지 못하는 반면, 결정화에 의한 IR 흡수 강도 image의 변화에 의한 분석 방법인 imaging FTIR의 경우보다 선형적인 결과를 얻음에 따라 imaging FTIR이 ETFE 비등온 결정화 연구에 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이와 함께 비등온 결정화에 의한 ETFE의 광학특성을 살펴본 결과, 서냉에 의하여 형성된 ETFE 결정의 빛 산란에 의하여 haze가 증가하며 따라서 투명도가 감소함을 알 수 있으며 비등온 결정화에 의하여 최대 8%의 투과도 감소가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 결정화를 조절하는 냉각속도가 유리 대체 소재로 사용되고 있는 ETFE 필름의 광투과도 조절에 주요한 가공 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Lightweight and flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules are attractive for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications because of their easy construction and applicability. In this study, we fabricated lightweight and flexible c-Si PV modules using ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) front cover and shingled design string cells. The ETFE front cover instead of glass made the PV modules lighter in weight, and the shingled design string cells increased the flexibility. Finally, we fabricated a PV module with a conversion power of 240.08 W at an area of 1.25 m² and weighed only 2 kg/m². Moreover, to check the PV module's flexibility, we conducted a bending test. The difference of conversion power between the modules before and after bending shown was only 1.7 W, which showed a power reduction rate of about 0.7%.

본 연구에서는 스티렌(styrene)과 TMSPM(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) 단량체를 방사선을 이용하여 ETFE(poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene)) 필름에 순차적으로 그래프트시킨 후 졸-젤 반응 및 설폰화 반응을 진행하여 실란 가교구조의 수소이온교환막을 제조하였다. 그래프트시 수소이온 전도성을 부여하게 될 스티렌과 가교구조를 형성시킬 TMSPM의 그래프트 순서가 다른 두 종류의 필름을 제조하여 FTIR을 통하여 구조 변화를 비교하였으며, TGA를 이용하여 열적 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 두 종류의 필름에 설폰산 작용기를 도입한 후 SEM-EDX 기기를 이용하여 막 내부 설폰산 및 실리콘의 분포를 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 조성의 스티렌(styrene, St)과 3-(trimethoxy)propyl methacrylate(TMSPM)를 poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene)(ETFE) 필름에 방사선 동시조사법으로 그래프트시킨 후 졸-젤 반응 및 설폰화 반응을 진행하여 실란 가교된 유/무기 복합막을 제조하였다. 졸-젤 반응을 통해 형성된 실란 가교 구조는 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) 및 thermo gravimetric analysis(TGA)를 사용하여 관찰하였다. 설폰화 관능기를 도입하여 막을 제조한 후 유사한 이온교환용량을 가지면서 TMSPM의 함량이 다른 연료전지막을 선별하여 함수율, 치수 안정성, 수소이온전도도 등의 물성을 측정하였다. 또한 제조된 유/무기 복합막을 이용하여 membrane electrode assemblies(MEA)를 제조한 후 단위전지 성능을 평가하였다.

The wettabilities of the partially fluorinated polymers (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), ethylenechlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE), and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)) were investigated by contact angle measurements. Zisman plots for ETFE and ECTFE exhibited linear relationships, while the Zisman plot for PVDF showed a slight curvature, which was interpreted to indicate strong non-dispersive interactions between the surface and the contacting liquids. The Lifshitz-van der Waals forces of the fluoropolymers were estimated to increase in the order of ETFE < PVDF $\ll$ ECTFE. An evaluation of the polar or "acid-base" interaction energies showed that PVDF, which possesses the most acidic hydrogens among the examined fluoropolymers, has the strongest acid-base interactions.

Various anion exchange membranes were prepared by radiation graft copolymerization of vinylbenzyl chloride onto fluorinated films and subsequent quaternization with various tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, N,N-dimethylbuthylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, and N-methylpiperidine. The quaternizations of the anion exchange membranes were confirmed by measuring of the ion exchange capacities of the membranes. The mechanical properties and the water uptakes were also measured. The elongation at break was found to be largely dependent on the fluorinated film, the quateranry ammonium, and the degree of grafting. The results indicate that the poly (ethylene-alt-tetrafluoroethylene) with quaternized trimethylamine moiety exhibits higher flexible property compared to the other prepared anion exchange membranes.

As the supply of photovoltaic (PV) increases worldwide, the cumulative installations in 2018 were 7.9 and 560 GW in Korea and the world, respectively. Typically, when the ground on commercial PV modules is installed, the area is limited; hence, new designs of PV modules are required to install additional PVs. Among the new design of PV modules, lightweight PV modules can be utilized in PV systems, such as buildings, farmlands, and floating PV. Concerning the investigation of lightweight PV modules, several studies on materials for replacing low-iron tempered glass, which comprises approximately 65% of the PV module weight, have been conducted. However, materials that are used as substitutes for glass should possess similar lightweight properties and reliability as glass. In this study, experimental tests were performed to evaluate the applicability of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) film with excellent resistance to water and aging as a front material of PV modules. The transmittance and ultraviolet properties of the ETFE film were determined and compared with those of glass. A 1-cell module and laboratory-scale 24-cell module were manufactured using the ETFE film and glass, and the electrical output was measured and analyzed. Furthermore, damp heat and thermal cycle tests were conducted to evaluate the reliability of the ETFE film module. Based on the experimental results, the electrical output and reliability of the ETFE film module were similar to those of the glass module, and the ETFE film could be used as the front material of PV modules.
