Abstract

In general, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) wastes are simply buried or burned. Landfill brings about a permanent contamination of soil due to the inability of FRP to decompose and incineration causes an issue of generating toxic gases and dusts. There have been several ways to treat the FRP wastes such as landfill, incineration, chemical recycling, material recycling and the utilization of energy from combustion. Most methods excluding material recycling are known to have critical limitations in economic, technical and environmental manners. However it is known that material recycling is most desirable among the methods handling FRP wastes. In this study, to investigate the purpose of feasibility of material recycling, various bulk molding compound (BMC) specimens were prepared with the various contents of unsaturated polyester resin binder (25, 30, 35 wt%) and the various replacement ratios of FRP wastes powder (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 wt%) substituted for filler. To evaluate the physical properties BMC specimens, various tests such as tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, hot water resistance and SEM imaging were conducted. As a results, mechanical strengths decreased with an increase of replacement ratio of FRP waste powder and physical properties of BMC specimens were deteriorated in the hot water resistance. The fluidity of BMC with more than 50 wt% of the replacement ratio of FRP wastes powder decreased remarkably, causing a problem in the BMC composite.

일반적으로 FRP 폐기물은 단순하게 매립하거나 소각처리하고 있다. 매립은 난분해성으로 인하여 토양을 영구 오염시키고, 소각은 분진과 유독가스를 발생시키게 된다. FRP 폐기물의 처리방법으로 매립, 소각, 화학적 재활용, 재료적 재활용 및 연소열의 에너지활용 등 몇 가지 방법이 알려져 있다. 재료적 재활용을 포함한 모든 처리방법이 경제적 기술적 환경적 관점에서 제한적인 요소를 가지고 있다. 그러나 재료적 재활용방법이 가장 바람직한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 재료적 재활용의 가능성을 조사할 목적으로 불포화폴리에스테르수지의 첨가량을 다양하게 변화(25, 30, 35 wt%)시키고 또 충전재 대신 폐FRP 미분말을 대체(0, 25, 50, 75, 100 wt%) 사용하여 다양한 BMC시편을 제조하였다. 제조한 BMC시편의 물리적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 인장강도, 굴곡강도, 충격강도, 내열수성시험 및 전자현미경 관찰을 행하였다. 시험결과 폐FRP 미분말의 치환량이 증가됨에 따라 기계적 강도는 감소되었으며, 내열수성시험에 의하여 시편의 물성은 크게 열화되었다. 폐FRP 미분말의 치환량 50 wt% 이상에서 BMC의 유동성이 크게 저하되어 BMC 복합재료에 문제가 발생하였다.
