Abstract

Polypropylene (PP)/talc compounds with talc content of 20wt% were fabricated by master-batch (MB) and direct compounding method using injection molding. The MB was prepared by mini compounder at $200^{\circ}C$ and the content of talc was 50wt%. The talc dispersion of the PP/talc compound was investigated by SEM-EDS. The talc was well dispersed within PP matrix in case of the MB-PP compound using MB. The rheological properties of the PP/talc compounds were measured by dynamic Rheometer. The MB-PP compound indicates higher shear thinning and elastic property than direct compound. The disperion of talc was certified by G'-G" plot, and Van Gurp-Palmen analysis was applied in order to certify an increase in elasticity.

폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)/talc 컴파운드를 talc의 조성을 20wt%로 하여 마스터뱃취(master-batch, MB)와 사출기를 이용한 직접 제조법으로 각각 제조하였다. MB는 talc 함량을 50wt%로 하여 소형 혼합기(mini compounder)로 $200^{\circ}C$에서 제조하였다. SEM-EDS를 이용하여 PP/talc 컴파운드의 talc 분산정도를 평가하였다. MB를 이용하여 제조한 컴파운드의 talc 분산성이 우수하게 나타났다. PP/talc 컴파운드의 유변학적 특성을 동적유변측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. MB를 이용한 MB-PP 컴파운드가 직접 제조한 컴파운드보다 shear thinning과 탄성특성이 증가하였다. G'-G" plot의 기울기 변화로부터 talc 분산성 정도를 확인하였고, 탄성특성 증가를 확인하기 위해 Van Gurp-Palmen 분석을 이용하였다.
