Abstract

Whitening phenomena of the EPDM composites with different inorganic filler compositions which were aged at $90^{\circ}C$ for 7 days in air and tap water atmospheres, respectively, were investigated. The aged samples in tap water containing stearic acid exhibited severe whitening phenomena, while all the samples aged in air did not show any whitening. Depending on the filler compositions, there was no big difference in the whitening phenomena. The whitening materials were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), image analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The whitening materials were identified to be salts of stearic acid. The salts of stearic acid were formed by reaction of metal cation in tap water and stearic acid in the sample.

무기첨가제의 조성이 다른 EPDM 복합체를 준비하여 $90^{\circ}C$ 공기와 수돗물에서 각각 7일간 노화시켜 백화현상을 관찰하였다. 공기 중에서 노화시킨 시험편들은 모두 백화가 발생하지 않았으나, 수돗물에서 노화시킨 시험편들 중 스테아린산이 함유된 시험편들은 백화가 심하게 발생하였다. 무기첨가제의 조성에 따른 백화 현상의 차이는 없었다. 백화 물질을 가스 크로마토그래피/질량분석법(GC/MS), 영상 분석(image analysis), 에너지 분산 X-선 분광법(EDX), 감쇠 전반사-후리에 변환 적외선 분광법(ATR-FTIR)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 백화 물질은 스테아린산의 금속염이라는 것을 확인하였다. 스테아린산의 금속염은 수돗물에 존재하는 금속 이온과 시험편 내에 존재하는 스테아린산과의 반응에 의해 형성된다.
