신발스크랩으로부터 발생되는 폐우레탄 발포체(waste urethane foam)와 폐우레탄(waste urethane scrap, $5{\sim}7mm$)의 재활용을 위하여 첫째, 양액재배용 배지의 구성 요소로 사용하여 장미 재배 적용가능성을 조사하였으며, 둘째, 폐우레탄으로부터 재생우레탄(Recycled Thermoplastic Polyurethane : RTPU)을 제조하여 RTPU와 HIPS(High Impact Polystyrene)를 블렌드한 후 이의 적용성을 확장하기 위하여 RTPU/HIPS 블렌드물에 amine계 발포제를 사용하여 발포체를 제조하였다. 양액재배용 배지의 구성요소로서 폐고무의 재활용에 있어서는 식물의 성장에 영향을 미치는 pH, 전기전도도, 생육 등을 조사하였으며, 폐우레탄 발포체의 물성은 TGA, DSC, FT-IR, SEM등을 이용하여 조사하였다. 본 연구는 폐우레탄 재활용 가능성의 다각화에 목적을 두었다.

흡음재로 널리 사용되는 헤드라이너는 발포성 폴리우레탄(PU foam)과 유리섬유(Glass Fiber,GF) 로 구성된 복합재료로, 제품의 생산 공정을 거치는 동안 부산물 형태의 폐기물이 발생한다. 헤드라이너 폐기물에 대한 효과적인 재활용을 위해 헤드라이너 구성성분에 대한 분리공정이 중요한 문제점이다. 헤드라이너에 대한 열분석결과에 의하면 중량의 감량 비율은 $400^{\circ}C$까지의 온도범위에서는 발포성 폴리우레탄 > 비발포성 폴리우레탄 > 부직포 > 1st layer > 유리섬유의 순으로 감량이 증가하는 결과를 보이고 있다. HDPE, LLDPE, PP 그리고 Master Batch 에 첨가제 형태로 폐 스크랩 첨가하여 sheet를 제작한 후 DSC 특성을 분석한 결과 PP를 제외한 다른 물질들에서는 결정화에 따른 발열전이가 나타나지 않는 것을 확인 하였다.

The production of polyurethane polymer has been increased because of their unique properties and variety process methods available. The generation of their wastes also increases with products. These byproducts of industrialization seriously threaten the environmental demanding. Therefore, development of the recycling technologies have been required. The main propose of this study is to develop the recycling technology of waste polyurethane from a footwear scrap. This technique is composed of the following procedure : crushing, devulcanizing, pelletizing, washing and drying. The pellet was characterized with various methods. The recycled polyurethane(RPU) was blended with HIPS(high impact polystyrene) and investigated morphologically and rheologically. The experimental results showed that the addition of 20% HIPS to RPU was limited without mechanical performance of the superial properties of a virgin polyurethane. We believe that these technical information make possible to develop a rational engineering product.

Resource recovery and recycling of materials and products including polyurethanes are viewed as a necessity in today's society. The problems of recycling polyurethane wastes has major technological, economic and ecological significance because polyurethane itself is relatively expensive and its disposal by burning is also costly. In general, the recycling methods for polyurethane could be classified as mechanical, chemical and physical. In the chemical recycling method, there ate hydrolysis, glycolysis, pyrolysis and aminolysis. This study was carried out glycolysis using new method such as sonication and catalyzed reaction. There are kinds of recycled polyols were produced by current method(glycolysis) but, this study were with catalyzed reaction and sonication as decomposers and the chemical properties were analyzed. The reaction results in the formation of polyester urethane diols and then the OH value which is determined by the quantity of diol used for the glycolysis conditions. The glycolysis rates by sonication and catalyzed reaction for the various glycols, increased as: PPG

Flame retardancy and mechanical properties of polyolefinic mixed waste plastics/filler composites were investigated by using inorganic flame retardant(magnesium hydroxide) and PUB(polyurethane block) powder generated from cryogenic insulation process. All composites were obtained by extrusion and after compression molding. The effect of PUB powder on the properties of the composites was studied by tensile and izod impact test, morphology studies and flammability as LOI and UL94 vertical burning test and smoke density. The objective of this work is to obtain good mechanical properties from recycled PP composites with $Mg(OH)_{2}/PUB$ powder as fillers and optimum cost-performance balance, in addition to flame retardant characteristics.

높은 강도, 경도, 신율, 비중 및 내마모성 등을 가진 채 폐기되는 열가소성 폴리우레탄 스크랩(TPU-S)과 습윤 상태의 내슬립성은 높으나 기계적 물성이 떨어지는 EPDM 고무의 용융 블렌드를 통해 신발 소재용 필름을 제조하고 조성과 특성과의 관계를 연구하였다. 블렌드 중의 TPU-S의 함량이 증가함에 따라 강도, 신도, 내마모성, 비중 및 경도 등 모든 물성이 증가하였으나, 습윤 상태의 내슬립성(동적마찰계수)은 크게 감소하였다. TPU-S 함량의 증가에 따라 블렌드의 파단신율은 단순혼합법칙 이상으로 증가하였으며, 습윤 상태의 내슬립성은 TPU-S가 $0{\sim}65%$ 범위에서 단순혼합법칙 이상이었다. 그러나 인장강도, 비중 및 내마모성은 모두 단순혼합법칙보다 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 이들 블렌드의 조성-특성 관계의 결과로부터 일반적으로 요구되는 신발 겉창용 소재의 물성에 충족되는 EPDM/TPU-S 블렌드의 조성은 무게비가 30/70인 것을 알 수 있었다.

For recycling of the waste tires, polyurethane binder mixed with the scrapped rubber powders which obtained from tread part of waste tire. This study covered the effect of the binder contents on the mechanical properties of the blend. We also studied the change of the properties after aging on properties compared with those of before aging. The curing reaction of the binder was also investigated in this study. We obtained conclusions the suitable binder content was 15phr in this system.

In-depth understanding of the influence of hot pressing and melt processing on the properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is critical for effective mechanical recycling of TPU scraps. Therefore, this study focused on the effects of hot pressing and melt mixing on molecular weight (MW), polydispersity index (PDI), melt index (MI), characteristic IR peaks, hardness, thermal degradation and mechanical properties of TPU. The original TPU pellet (o-TPU) showed two broad peaks at lower and higher MW regions. However, four TPU film samples, TPU-0 prepared only by hot pressing of o-TPU pellet and TPU-1, TPU-2 and TPU-3 obtained by hot pressing of melt mixed TPUs (where the numbers indicate the run number of melt mixing), exhibited only a single peak at higher MW region. The TPU-0 film sample had the highest $M_n$ and the lowest PDI and hardness. The TPU-1 film sample had the highest $M_w$ and tensile modulus. As the run number of melt mixing increased, the peak-intensity of hydrogen bonded C=O stretching increased, however, the free C=O peak intensity, tensile strength/elongation at break and average MW decreased. All the samples showed two stage degradations. The degradation temperatures of TPU-0 sample (359 $^{\circ}C$ and 394 $^{\circ}C$)were higher than those of o-TPU (342 $^{\circ}C$ and 391 $^{\circ}C$). While all the melt mixed samples degraded at almost the same temperature (365 $^{\circ}C$ and 381 $^{\circ}C$). The first round of hot pressing and melt mixing was found to be the critical condition which led to the significant changes of $M_n$/$M_w$/PDI, MI, mechanical property and thermal degradation of TPU.
