Abstract
This study is intended to examine the degree of phosphorescent luminance in proportion to the amount of phosphorescent pigments in the ceramic based coating. The results of this study were that the degree of phosphorescent luminance was Increased in proportion to the amount of phosphorescent pigments in the ceramic based coatings. Samples with more than $20\%$ of phosphorescent pigments exceeded the Japanese Industrial Standard for security signs. Luminance levels 10 times greater than the KS and JIS standard were obtained with a concentration of $50\%$. The luminance increased initially with the number of applications of the ceramic based coating but there was no further increase for more than 4 applications. The water-based phosphorescent ceramics developed here are made entirely of inorganic materials and do not generate toxic gases. The optical characteristics of these materials makes them suitable for use in phosphorescent emergency exit signs in place of the traditionally used vinyl chloride materials.
본 연구는 축광안료 혼입률 변화에 따른 축광세라믹스 시험체의 인광휘도 변화를 측정하였다. 측정결과 축광안료 혼입률에 비례해서 인광휘도는 증대하였다. 축광안료를 $20\%$이상 혼입한 시험체는 KS와 JIS의 안전표지판 규정값을 만족하였고 축광안료를 $50\%$ 홉입한 시험체는 규정값보다 10배나 높은 결과치를 얻었다. 축광세라믹스의 인광휘도는 도포횟수에 비례해서 증대하였으나 도포횟수가 비 이상이 되면 인광휘도의 상승은 나타나지 않았다. 축광세라믹스는 사용할 재료가 모두 무기재료이고, 광학적으로도 축광피난 유도표지로서 충분히 이용할 가치가 있는 재료라고 할 수 있다.
