Abstract

The vehicle wiper blade(W/B) to lower the friction coefficient of the rubber surface after the surface treatment with chlorine were investigated. IR spectrum from W/B was used to determine the extent of chlorination of the rubber surface. Coefficient of friction is significantly reduced by the treatment with chlorine. In particular, the more sensitive influence on the initial chlorination. Rubber surface properties with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cutting plane were obtained by EPMA line analysis results. Penetration depth by EPMA chlorine concentration($20.0{\ell}$ of water for 35.0% hydrochloric acid(HCl) $300m{\ell}$ with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl) $400m{\ell}$), the chlorine treatment for 5 minutes was conducted to find that after 1.2 ${\mu}m$.

자동차의 와이퍼 블레이드(Wiper Blade, W/B)의 마찰계수를 낮추기 위하여 고무 표면을 염소 처리하였다. 염소처리 방법으로는 물 $20.0{\ell}$에 35.0% 염산(HCl)과 5.25% 차아염소산소다(NaOCl)를 각각 $300m{\ell}$, $400m{\ell}$를 첨가한 염소처리용액을 만든 후, 2분에서 20분 동안 처리하였다. 처리 후의 표면 특성은 IR 스펙트럼, 마찰계수 측정기, EPMA를 이용하였다. IR 스펙트럼으로 부터 W/B 고무 표면의 염소화 정도를 확인하였다. 마찰계수는 염소처리에 의해 크게 감소하였다. 특히, 염소화 초기에 보다 민감한 영향을 나타내었다. 고무표면 특성을 고무 파단면의 길이 방향에 대하여 EPMA 선분석한 결과를 얻었다. EPMA에 의한 염소침투깊이는 위의 염소농도에서, 염소처리를 5분 실시한 후에 1.2 ${\mu}m$ 임을 알 수 있었다.
