Abstract

Analysis of wettability between epoxy resin and glass fabric was studied. The mixing ratios of epoxy resin and anhydride hardener were varied as 1:0.5, l:l and l:1.2. Catalyst content was fixed as 0.1wt% of the mixed resin. A curing analysis by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) showed a possible impregnation of the mixed resin at the room temperature. An effective contact angle of the mixed epoxy resin drop onto the glass fabric being preset on a flat glass plate was measured as a function of time. The wet area of the epoxy resin drop was also measured. Behaviors of the contact angle, the droplet height, the neat wet area and the coefficient of wettability were used to evaluate the wettability of the epoxy resin onto the glass fabric. It was concluded that the equivalent ratio of 1: 1.2 was the most suitable for the wettability.

에폭시 수지와 유리섬유직물 간의 젖음성을 분석하였다. 에폭시 수지와 산무수물 경화제의 혼합비는 당량비 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.2로 하였고, 촉매는 혼합된 수지의 0.lwt%로 첨가하였다. DSC 경화거동분석 결과 이 혼합 수지는 상온에서 함침이 가능하였다. 혼합 수지에 대해 유리평판에 놓여진 유리섬유직물 위에 수지 한 액적(방울)을 투하 후 시간에 따른 접촉각 변화를 측정하였다, 또한, 일정량의 에폭시 수지 액적을 투하시켜 시간에 따른 젖음면적 변화를 측정하였다, 접촉각, 액적높이, 순수 젖음면적, 젖음계수를 측정함으로써 유리섬유직물에 대한 에폭시 수지의 젖음성을 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 당량비 1:1.2에서 유리섬유직물에 대한 젖음성이 가장 우수하였다.
