Abstract

To recycle the waste tire rubber powder, rubber powder composite for waterproof sheet was prepared, and analyzed the effect of the kind of resin and the amount of crosslinking agent on the mechanical property of the composites. The elongation-at-break of the PE composite increased more than 3 times as EPDM was added into rubber composites. As the content of the crosslinking agent increased, the tensile strength of composite increased as well. When recycled polypropylene was used, the increase in composite's tensile strength was more than 3 times. Therefore to use the recycled PP in composite is more effective rather than PP in term mechanical properties.

폐타이어고무분말을 재활용하기 위하여 방수시트용 고무분말 복합체를 제조하였으며, 수지 종류와 가교제의 함량이 복합체의 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. EPDM이 부가됨에 따라 고무분말 PE 복합체의 신장율이 3배 이상 증가하는 현상을 나타내었다. 고무분말 충전 복합체에 가교제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 복합체의 강도가 증가하였으며, 특히 재생 폴리프로필렌을 사용한 경우 3배 이상 인장강도가 현저하게 높게 나타났다. 따라서 폴리프로필렌 블렌드물로 고무분말 복합체를 제조하는 경우 신재 폴리프로필렌을 사용하는 것 보다 재생 폴리프로필렌을 사용하는 것이 기계적 특성면에서 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
