초록
PU계 유겔화제를 제조하기 위하여 soft segment로서 친유성을 갖는 polyether계 polyol인 PPG와 PTMG를 사용하고 hard segment로는 TDI를 사용하였다. PPG와 PTMG의 평균 분자량을 각각 1000, 2000, 3000으로 변화시키며 실험한 결과, PPG의 경우 분자량이 증가할수록 유겔화율은 290%에서 130%로 감소하였으며, PTMG의 경우 분자량이 증가할수록 310%에서 250%로 감소하였다. 친수성인 EG를 투입한 경우에 유겔화율은 EG를 첨가하지 않은 경우보다 약 2배 증가하였다. 이는 친수성기의 함량이 증가할수록 물/기름 혼합물에서의 prepolymer의 분산도 증가에 기인한 것으로 판단되며 PPG의 유겔화율은 290%에서 1120%로 증가하였고, PTMG의 유겔화율은 310%에서 1310%로 증가하였다.
Oil gelling agent was synthesized with PPG, PTMG and TDI at 7$0^{\circ}C$ for 4hours. PPGs and PTMGs having various average molecular weights (M$_{n}$: 1000, 2000, 3000) were employed to investigate the ratio of oil gelation and water gelation. As M$_{n}$ of PPG, in result, was decreased from 3000 to 1000, the ratio of oil gelation was increased from 130% to 290% for PPG and from 250% to 310% for PTMG. Ratio of oil gelation was increased approximately two times when EG was added. As the amount of hydrophilic compound in the prepolymer was increased, ratio of oil gelation was increased from 290% to 1120% for PPG and increased from 310% to 1310% for PTMG, due to the increased dispersion of prepolymer in the water/oil mixture.ure.
