Abstract

In this study, we investigated optimum conditions for the introduction of a lot of free radical polymerizable methacrylate groups on the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) surface. Carboxyl groups were introduced first on MWCNT surfaces by treating with a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid with ultrasonic bath for 2 hours, and oxidized MWCNTs were reacted further with thionyl chloride followed by triethylenetetramine (TETA) to introduce amino groups on the oxidized MWCNT surface, to make MWCNT-$NH_2$. To introduce free radical polymerizable methacrylate groups on the MWCNT-$NH_2$, MWCNT-$NH_2$ was reacted with 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (AHM) by Michael addition reaction. We investigated progress of modification reactions for MWCNT by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis (EA). We found maximum degree of Michael addition reactions between AHM and TETA grafted on MWCNT-$NH_2$ for 10:1 mol ratio and 8 hour reaction time in our reaction conditions.

본 연구에서는 multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) 표면에 자유 라디칼 중합 가능한 methacrylate기를 다량으로 도입하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, MWCNT 표면에 카르복실기(-COOH)를 도입하기 위하여 황산과 질산의 혼산으로 초음파로 처리하면서 2시간 산화시켜 MWCNT-COOH를 합성하였다. 합성된 MWCNT-COOH를 염화티오닐(thionyl chloride)와 반응시켜 MWCNT-COCl을 합성하고, triethylenetetramine (TETA)와 반응시켜 MWCNT-$NH_2$를 합성하였다. 합성된 MWCNT-$NH_2$와 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (AHM)의 투입 몰 비를 변화시키면서 Michael 부가 반응으로 MWCNT 표면에 methacrylate기가 도입된 MWCNT-AHM을 합성하였다. MWCNT의 표면 개질정도는 fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)와 원소분석(elemental analysis, EA) 분석을 통해 개질 반응의 진행 정도와 최적 개질 조건을 확인하였다. 그 결과 MWCNT-$NH_2$에 접목되어 있는 TETA에 대하여 AHM의 반응 몰 비를 1:10로 하고 8시간 반응시켰을 때 methacrylate기가 가장 많이 도입되는 조건임을 확인하였다.
