Abstract

In this work, epoxy/carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitirile (EP/CTBN) composites were prepared by employing a reinforcing filler, silica treated with silane coupling agent in different ratio by dry and wet method. Their curing characteristics, surface free energy, interface morphologies and mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact resistance were carefully investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) results showed that curing temperature was lowered with the increase of silane coupling agent because of the increase of relative curing agent cotent by filling the pores of silica. Wet method was proved to be more effective for lowering curing temperature of EP/CTBN composite. In general, surface free energy and impact resistance were increased with the increase of silane coupling agent in this work. Tensile strength, however, was observed to be decreased at 4 wt% of silane coupling agent. It was found that the dry method was proved to be preferable for pretreatment of silica with coupling agent.

본 연구에서는 실란 커플링제을 변량 배합하여 습식법과 건식법으로 실리카를 전처리하여 epoxy/carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitirile (EP/CTBN) 복합체를 제조하였다. EP/CTBN 복합체의 경화특성 및 표면자유에너지, 인장강도 및 충격강도의 기계적 특성과 계면 특성을 건식법과 습식법에 따라 고찰하였다. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)의 결과 실란커플링제의 양이 증가함에 따라 실리카의 기공을 막아 경화제의 양을 증가시켜 경화온도가 감소되었으며, 건식법보다는 습식법이 EP/CTBN 복합체의 경화온도를 감소시킴을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실란커플링제의 양이 증가함 따라 표면자유에너지와 충경강도가 증가되었으나, 인장강도는 실란커플링제의 양이 4 wt%일 때 감소되었으며, 습식법보다는 건식법이 더 물성을 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.
