Abstract
The elastomeric and conductive polyurethane (PU) films were prepared by poly(propylene glycol) (PPG), toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, 3-methylthiophene (3-MT) at various preparation conditions, such as the reaction time, the $FeCl_3$ concentration, the weight ratio of the 3-MT to PU and the reaction temperature for the diffusion-oxidative reaction. The conductive poly (3-methylthiophene) (PMT) layers via the diffusion-oxidative reaction of 3-MT and ferric chloride were formed by immersing the film in organic solution of $FeCl_3$/ethyl acetate. The preparation conditions greatly affected the electrical conductivity of the 3-MT/PU composite. The effects of the reaction time and temperature on morphology and surface free energy were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and contact angle measurement, respectively. The conductivity of the composite was as high as 42 S/cm.
본 연구에서는 poly(propylene glycol) (PPG), toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, 3-methylthiophene (3-MT)으로부터 반응시간, $FeCl_3$의 농도, 3-MT와 PU의 무게비, 반응온도 등의 다양한 조건에 따라 전도성 폴리우레탄 필름을 제조하였다. $FeCl_3$와 ethyl acetate로 구성된 유기용매에 제조한 필름을 함침 시킨 결과 3-MT와 $FeCl_3$의 확산-산화 반응을 통해 급속한 전도성 PMT 층이 형성되었다. 전도성 복합체의 전기 전도도는 제조조건에 따라 많은 영향을 받고 SEM 분석과 접촉각 측정으로부터 반응시간과 반응온도가 모폴로지와 표면 자유에너지에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며 제조된 복합체의 전도도는 최대 42 S/cm 인 것으로 확인되었다.
