Abstract

To manufacture of a completely biodegradable and compostable biomass -based blend polymer film, two types of cellulose acetates(DS=2.4 and DS=2.7) were blended with 5 - 50 wt% of low average molecular weight polylactide(PLA) by mixing each polymer solution having same viscosity in 10 wt% methanol/dichloromethane. Their surface morphology, thermal and mechanical properties were studied. The chemical structures of blend films were confirmed by the fourier transform IR spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection(FT-IR ATR) spectrophotometer. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) photos of blend films of both CAs with less than 5 % of PLA showed homogeneous morphology. On the contrary, the other blends with higher than 20 wt% of PLA content showed a large phase separation with spherical domains. The thermal property of blend films was also analyzed with thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter(DSC). The tensile strength of CA/PLA blend films was increased up to $820kg_f/cm^2$ for TAC/PLA and $600kg_f/cm^2$ for DAC/PLA.

완전 생분해성 고분자 블렌드필름을 제조하기 위하여 치환도가 다른 두 셀룰로오스 아세테이트(CA)에 5 - 50%의 저분자량 폴리락타이드(PLA)를 블렌딩하였다. 이 때 사용된 각각의 고분자는 10% 메탄올/메틸렌클로라이드 혼합용제에 녹여서 점도가 같은 조건의 농도로 제조하였다. 각 조성의 블렌드필름의 표면 모폴로지와 열적 성질, 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. 화학적 구조는 적외선 분광법으로 확인하였으며, 전자현미경을 통한 표면 분석 결과 5% 이하의 폴리락타이드를 함유한 블렌드필름은 상분리가 거의 일어나지 않았으며 20% 이상이 함유된 경우 상분리가 매우 심각하였다. 또한 블렌드필름의 인장강도는 셀룰로오스 아세테이트의 함량이 늘어날수록 TAC/PLA의 경우 $820kg_f/cm^2$ 및 DAC/PLA의 경우 $600kg_f/cm^2$까지 향상시킬 수 있었다.
