Abstract

The studies on the formulation and curing behaviors of Kevlar/Epoxy prepreg for NOSE CONE of aircraft were presented in this paper. Dielectrometer and differential scanning calorimeter were used in order to check the curing behaviors. This prepreg showed the lowest ionic viscosity around $120^{\circ}C$, and then the ionic viscosity was gradually increased up to $200^{\circ}C$. This indicated that the curing reaction of this prepreg started at $120^{\circ}C$ and the molecular weight was increased by the accelerated thermal cross-linking reaction. The loss factor and tan $\delta$ values were also measured and discussed. The loss factor behaviors of Kevlar/Epoxy prepreg, which is related to the fluidity of matrix, were fecund to be similar with that of ionic viscosity. The thermal reaction properties of this prepreg were also studied by differential scanning calorimeter.

본 논문은 항공기 노스콘(nose cone) 제작에 사용되는 Kevlar/Epoxy 프리프레그의 조성과 경화거동을 연구한 것이다. 이 소재의 경화거동을 dielectrometer와 시차주사열분석기를 사용하여 연구하였다. 이 프리프레그는 $120^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 가장 낮은 이온점도를 보였으며, 이 이후 경화반응의 진행과 함께 점도가 $200^{\circ}C$ 까지는 상승하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 이것은 이 프리프레그의 경화반응이 $120^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 개시됨을 의미하며, 이 온도 이후부터 가속화된 분자간 가교화 반응을 통해서 분자량이 현저히 커짐을 의미한다. 본 프리프레그의 dynamic scan에 따른 loss factor 및 tan $\delta$값을 측정/연구하였는데, 매트릭스의 유동성과 매우 밀접한 관계에 있는 loss factor 거동은 이온점도 거동과 매우 유사하였다. 본 프리프레그의 열반응 특성을 시차주사열분석기를 사용해서 연구하였다.
