Abstract

Impact modifier reinforced polymers are frequently used. In this study, Izod impact test has been simulated to analyze the mechanism of impact reinforcement of Nylon6 which contains impact modifier. The modeling of rubber particles added to Nylon6 as an impact modifier has been attempted. Based on the modeling, simulation of Izod impact test has been performed to observe the distribution and direction of stress at the cross-section of impact specimen. Three computer simulation models for Nylon6 were investigated. Those were without impact modifier, containing impact modifier without surface treatment, and containing impact modifier with surface treatment in the Nylon6. Simulation results showed that the stress which originated at the notch surface propergated to the inside of specimen round a impact modifier. In addition to that, impact modifier reinforced Nylon6 specimen showed low stress ditribution in the cross-section specially at notch surface. Principal stress in perpendicular direction to crack was also lowered in impact modifier reinforced Nylon6. These enhanced impact resistance reduced and crack propergations. Through this study it was realized that the computer simulation can be utilized to investigate the property enhacement of composite materials.

고분자 소재의 충격강도 증대를 위해 충격보강제를 이용하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 충격보강제가 함유된 나일론6에 대해서 충격보강 원리를 분석하고자 충격시험을 모사하였다. 이를 위해 나일론6에 포함된 충격보강제인 고무 첨가제의 모델링을 시도하였다. 모델링을 토대로 충격시험을 모사하고 충격시편 단면에서의 응력 분포 및 방향을 통해 충격강도 증대 원리를 관찰하였다. 시편 단면에서 충격보강제 유무에 따른 해석을 하여 비교하였고, 충격보강을 위해 사용되는 고무첨가제의 표면처리 여부에 따른 해석도 수행하여 응력을 비교하였다. 해석결과 노치에서 발생한 응력이 내부로 전파되면서 충격보강제 주변으로 경로가 바뀌면서 응력이 감소되는 현상이 나타났다. 특히 충격보강제를 함유한 시편에서 노치부 표면의 응력이 낮았다. 또한, 크랙이 발생하는 방향과 직각인 방향의 주 응력 크기도 충격보강제를 포함한 시편에서 낮게 나타났다. 이로 인해 크랙의 전파가 감소되고 충격강도가 증대되었다고 분석된다. 이러한 컴퓨터모사 방법은 복합재료의 물성 증대 원인을 파악하는데 활용할 수 있다고 판단된다.
