Abstract

In this study, we have investigated mechanical properties and scratch resistance of polypropylene compounds by two types of masterbatch with different molecular weight of PP. Masterbatches were prepared with polypropylene(PP) and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) by melt mixing. Mechanical properties and scratch behavior were examined with UTM and polarizing microscope. The morphology surface of grain pattern was investigated Color 3D Laser Scanning Microscope. Mechanical properties of two masterbatches containing PP compounds showed a little bit difference in accordance with amount of M/B. Scratch resistance was much improved by adding masterbatches used high-molecular weight PP. Scratch resistance was excellent when grain pattern of the surface is deep, large, round and irregular.

본 연구에서는 polypropylene 복합재료의 내스크래치성을 향상 시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 내스크래치성 개선을 위하여 PP의 분자량이 다른 두 종류의 PDMS계 M/B를 제조하여 각각의 함량에 따른 기계적 물성과 내스크래치성을 평가 하였다. 더 좋은 물성을 보인 마스터배치를 선택하여 grain pattern에 따른 내스크래치성을 평가 하였다. UTM과 편광현미경을 통하여 기계적 물성과 스크래치성을 평가 하였다. Color 3D laser Scanning microscope로 표면 grain pattern 형상을 관찰하였다. 마스터배치의 분자량과 함량에 따른 기계적 물성의 차이는 비교적 적은것으로 평가 되었으며 내스크래치 평가에서는 고분자량의 M/B를 첨가함에 따라 내스크래치성이 향상 되는 것으로 나타났다. Grain pattern에 따른 스크래치 평가에서는 grain pattern이 깊이가 깊고 불규칙하며 그 형태도 크고, 둥근형일 때 내스크래치성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
