Abstract

The ecofriendly yellow ocher is used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, construction, and food packaging. The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) used for manufacturing food containers has a microporous structure that causes aeration. Hydrophilic yellow ocher may be applied to hydrophobic PET by surface modification to overcome this issue. The aim of this study is to fabricate a yellow ocher polystyrene hybrid structure in the form of nanoparticles using an optimizing molar ratio of styrene, divinylbenzene, and potassium peroxodisulfate for use in emulsion polymerization. The polymerization was conducted in a yellow ocher suspension that was prepared by dispersing mechanically ground yellow ocher in DI water. The prepared hybrid structure was measured using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The measurement revealed the spherical morphology and Si component that resulted from the yellow ocher in the polystyrene particles. We expect that this hybrid structure would be used as platform material to minimize aeration in PET.

친환경 소재인 황토는 화장품, 건축물, 식 음료 저장용기 등의 제조에 이용된다. Polyethylene terephthalate(PET, 페트) 는 식 음료 저장용기로 널리 사용되고 있으나, 미세기공(~nm)이 존재하여 페트 내 외부 사이에 공기의 유동으로 음료수에 유통기한이 단축되는 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 황토-폴리스티렌 하이브리드 구조체를 제작하여 이를 페트에 적용시켜 유통기한의 연장을 꾀하고자 한다. 친수성 소재인 황토의 소수성 페트에 직접적용을 위해 매개체로 소수성 폴리스티렌을 이용하였다. 나노크기의 황토입자가 분산된 현탁액을 에멀젼 중합으로 나노크기의 폴리스티렌 입자 내부에 캡슐화 시켰다. 원활한 캡슐화 과정을 위해 에멀젼 중합 조건을 확립하였으며, 제작된 하이브리드 구조체의 형태 및 캡슐화 정도를 주사전자현미경, X-선 분광기, X-선 회절 분석기로 분석하였다.
