Abstract

Polypropylene(PP)/polyurethane(PU) blends with reactive compatibilizers were prepared by the compositional quenching process. Maleic anhydride grafted PP(MPP) and hydroxyethyl maleimide grafted PP(HPP) were introduced as reactive compatibilizers. The formation of HPP and the reactions of compatibilizers with the PU components were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The morphology, tensile properties, thermal stability, and surface property were studied. The blends prepared by the compositional quenching showed better dispersed domain morphology than the melt blends. The PU domain size became more uniform and reduced in size with increasing the amount of compatibilizers. The blends with HPP showed sightly smaller domain sire than the blends with MPP. The blends with compatibilizers all showed improved tensile properties, surface property. and thermal stability due to the interfacial adhesion effect. The blends with MPP showed higher surface energy than the blends with HPP, but the latter showed better thermal stability compared to the former.

폴리프로필렌(PP)/폴리우레탄(PU) 블렌드를 compositional quenching으로 제조하여 모폴로지, 인장물성, 표면에너지 그리고 열안정성 등을 조사하였다. 블렌드 제조시, 말레인산 무수물이 그라프트된 PP(MPP)와 히드록시에틸 말레이미드가 그라프트된 PP(HPP)를 반응성 상용화제로 도입하였으며, 이들의 생성 및 PU 조성과의 반응을 FT-IR로 확인하였다. Compositional quenching으로 제조한 블렌드는 용융블렌드에 비해 높은 혼화성을 보였으며, 블렌드내의 상용화제의 함량이 증가함에 따라 모폴로지, 인장물성. 표면특성, 그리고 열안정성 등의 물성이 현저하게 향상되었다. 상용화제로 MPP를 도입한 블렌드는 HPP를 도입한 블렌드에 비해, 높은 표면 에너지를 가졌다.
