Abstract

In this study, self-actuated photocatalyst that titanium dioxide doped by more than two transition metal was coated PU foam. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of self-actuated photocatalyst coated PU foam was characterized without light. The antibacterial property of self-actuated photocatalyst coated PU foam was shown to be reduced more than 96%, and the antifungal property was shown to be reduced more than 99.9%. The durability of self-actuated photocatalyst coated PU foam tested by Weather-O-meter showed the 7% reduction of formaldehyde decomposition from 96.5% before test to 89.8% after test. The observation of surface of PU foam coated with self-actuated photocatalyst showed that the catalyst was firmly attached to the surface of polyester fiber without separation.

본 연구에서는 이산화티타늄에 산소의 2p궤도보다 높은 에너지를 갖고 있는 2종 이상의 전이금속을 도핑시켜 빛의 유무와 관계없이 광촉매 작용을 하도록 한 자기구동형 광촉매를 PU발포체에 코팅하였다. 그리고 자기구동형 광촉매가 코팅된 PU발포체에 대하여 항균성 및 항곰팡이 특성을 알아보았다. 항균성은 자기구동형 광촉매가 코팅된 PU발포체에서 균수가 99.9%이상 저감되는 것으로 나타났으며, 항곰팡이성도 96%이상의 곰팡이포자수가 감소함을 보여 항균성 및 항곰팡이성이 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 내구성은 자기구동형 광촉매가 코팅된 PU발포체에 대하여 Weather-O-meter로 test하고 test전과 후의 포름알데히드 분해율을 확인한 결과 96.5%에서 89.8%로 약 7%p로 미약하게 감소하였으며 전자현미경으로도 관찰한 표면상태도 그대로 고르게 부착되어 있음을 확인할 수 있어 표면부착강도가 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.
