Abstract

Migration of low molecular weight components from expanded polystyrene (ESP) to distilled water was measured at different temperature conditions. Overall migration and specific monomer migration were measured. Diffusion model based on Fick's law was used to determine the apparent diffusion coefficients at various experimental conditions. The overall and specific migration levels were estimated to give some practical implications for regulatory guideline development and safe package design. Diffusion coefficients for overall migration in KMnO$_4$ oxidizable extractives and specific migration of styrene monomer from ESP at 6$0^{\circ}C$ were 0.030 and 6.8${\times}$10$^{-5}$ $\textrm{mm}^2$/h, respectively. Their temperature dependence could be explained by Arrhenius equation with respective activation energies of 80.5 and 98.6 kJ/㏖. Experimental conditions ensuring desired migration level were suggested for reliable examination of migration from the packaging material. Some explanatory estimations of migrations were given for some typical conditions of potential usages.

발포 폴리스티렌으로부터 증류수로의 잠재적 저분자 물질의 이행을 측정하고 수학적 모델을 이용하여 이행속도를 분석하고 예측하고자 하였다. 총괄 이행의 지표로 사용되는 KMnO$_4$ 소비량, 증발잔류물 등과 특정 이행으로는 styrene monomer를 측정하였다. Fick의 법칙을 사용하여 폴리스티렌으로부터의 이행과 확산에 대한 정량적 모델을 확립하고, 온도 및 용매조건에 따른 확산계수를 구하였다. 이로부터 다양한 사용조건에 대한 이행량을 예측하고, 현실적인 의미를 제시하였다. 발포 폴리스티렌으로부터의 증류수로의 이행물질로서 KMnO$_4$소비량, styrene monomer의 이행은 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 각각 0.030 $\textrm{mm}^2$/h과 6.8${\times}$$10^{-5}$ $\textrm{mm}^2$/h의 값을 보였다. 온도의존성을 나타내는 활성화에너지 값은 KMnO$_4$ 소비량, styrene monomer에 대해 각각 80.5 kJ/㏖ 및 98.6 kJ/㏖로 나타났다. 이행량 측정에서 적절한 이행의 정도를 얻을 수 있는 실험조건을 제시하고, 몇 가지 예상조건에 대해서 styrene monomer의 이행거동을 예측 제시하였다.
