Abstract

The oxygen permeation characteristics of BOPP, OPP and CPP membranes were studied against various thicknesses and temperatures. The experimental results showed that the present method of using electrochemical oxygen sensor was a convenient method for measurement of membrane permeability of oxygen and its activation energy, while the thickness dependency on permeability has an order of BOPP > CPP > OPP. And the activation energy of oxygen permeability showed different values for each membrane ranging from 13.1 kJ/mol to 28.5 kJ/mol, without depending on membrane thickness, presumably due to its depending upon membrane material itself.

의료용 갈바닉형 산소센서를 이용하여 BOPP, OPP 및 CPP 막의 두께와 온도 변화에 따른 산소 투과 특성을 연구한 결과, 전류와 산소농도의 탁월한 선형관계 (R>0.999)로부터 구한 산소 투과도는 BOPP > OPP > CPP의 순으로 막의 두께에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 전기화학적 산소투과도 측정방법은 기존의 압력법에 비하여 간편한 실험방법임을 확인하였다 한편, 산소 투과도에 대한 활성화에너지는 13.1 kJ/mol에서 28.5 kJ/mol 사이의 값으로, 각 막에 따라 다른 값을 나타냈지만 같은 종류의 막에서 두께에 의존하지는 않았다. 이는 고분자의 활성화 에너지는 고분자가 갖고 있는 고유의 물성에 의존하기 때문인 것으로 추정된다.
