Abstract

ZnAl-LDH(layered double hydroxide) modified with oleic acid(SO-ZnAl LDH) was synthesized and added to the flame retardant ABS compounds containing brominated epoxy resin(BER) and antimony trioxide(${Sb_2}{O_3}$). Flame retardant ABS compounds were manufactured by using a twin-screw co-rotating extruder and subsequently injection molded into several specimen for flame retardancy and mechanical properties. The XRD patterns of ABS nanocomposites showed no peaks. The thermal stability of ABS nanocomposites was enhanced by the addition of SO-ZnAl LDH as shown in TGA results. However, these nanocomposites showed no rating in the UL 94 vertical test at 1.6 mm thickness. Only ABS nanocomposites with additional BER more than 1.5 wt% showed UL 94 V0 rating. Notched Izod impact strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break of flame retardant ABS nanocomposites increased with the proportion of So-ZnAl LDH whereas their melt index decreased.

올레인산으로 유기변성된 ZnAl-LDH(SO-ZnAl LDH)를 합성하여 브롬화 에폭시 수지(BER) 및 산화안티몬을 포함하는 난연 ABS 컴파운드에 첨가하였다. 난연 ABS 컴파운드는 동일방향으로 회전하는 이축압출기를 통해 제조되었고 난연성 및 기계적 성질을 측정하기 위한 시편으로 사출성형 되었다. ABS 나노복합재료의 XRD 패턴에서는 피크가 나타나지 않았다. SOZnAl LDH를 포함하는 난연 ABS 나노복합재료는 TGA 시험 결과 향상된 내열성을 보였다. 그러나, 난연 ABS 나노복합재료들은 UL 94 수직시험(1.6 mm 두께)시 등급을 얻지 못했다. BER를 1.5 wt% 이상 더 첨가한 경우들에서만 UL 94 V0 등급을 얻을 수 있었다. SO-ZnAl LDH의 첨가량에 비례하여 난연 ABS 나노복합재료의 노치드 아이조드 충격강도, 인장탄성률 및 신율은 증가하였으나 유동지수는 감소하였다.
