Abstract

Epoxy resins are thermoset polymers that exhibit good adhesion, creep resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. These polymers, however, give poor resistance to crack propagation and low impact strength. In this study, epoxy/carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) and epoxy/amine-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (ATBN) composites were prepared with different ratio of CTBN and ATBN to improve low impact strength of epoxy resin. The impact strength of epoxy/elastomeric composites shows high values with increasting nonpolar surface free energy while the tensile strength and the glass transition are decreased. The highest surface free energy, impact strength observed when 15 phr CTBN and 15 phr ATBN added, respectively. It can be concluded that as liquid rubber to improve impact strength of epoxy resin, ATBN is more preferable to CTBN.

에폭시 수지는 우수한 접착력, 높은 강도, 내크리프성, 내열성, 내화학성을 나타내는 열경화성 고분자이지만, 매우 깨지기 쉬우며 균열성장에 대한 낮은 저항성을 보여 낮은 충격강도를 보인다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 에폭시 수지에 carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) 및 amine-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile(ATBN)을 변량 첨가하여 에폭시 수지의 낮은 충격강도를 향상시키고자 한다. 에폭시/CTBN, 에폭시/ATBN복합체의 충격강도(impact strength)가 큰 값을 나타낼 때 표면자유에너지(surface free energy)의 비극성 값 또한 가장 큰 값을 보였으며, 반면에 인장강도와 유리전이온도는 감소함을 보였다. CTBN 및 ATBN을 각각 15 phr 첨가한 에폭시 복합체가 높은 표면자유에너지와 충격강도를 보였다. 결론적으로 액상고무의 첨가로 에폭시 수지의 취성을 향상시켰으며, 에폭시/CTBN보다는 에폭시/ATBN복합체의 물성이 더 우수하다고 사료된다.
