Abstract

In this study, pro-oxidant($d2w^{(R)}$) and rPP/ZnO nanocomposite flexible films for food packaging were prepared, and their mechanical and antimicrobial properties were investigated. As a result, the carbonyl index and hydroxyl index increased with exposured time to heat and UV rays. Surface analysis showed that the addition of zinc oxide improved the dispersibility and compatibility of the polymer, so that the surface of the composite film was smooth and the zinc oxide particles were smaller than the compared film. And it kept the physical properties by heat and UV ray blocking effect, and it worked to reduce decomposition. In the antimicrobial activity test, the microbial reduction rate was 3 logs or more at the use concentration of zinc oxide. The tensile strength was increased and the elongation was decreased. Oxidative degradability of multi-layered film in UV exposured for 72 hours, the molecular weight of the film decreased by 75.6%, 1,294 g/mol Mn and 5,920 g/mol Mw. In the safety analysis of food packaging materials, we obtained that are in standard of polypropylene, a food contact material of domestic law.

본 연구에서는 수출 가능한 식품포장재로 pro-oxidant($d2w^{(R)}$)함유 rPP/ZnO 나노컴포지트 유연필름을 제조하였고, 이 산화분해 필름의 기계적 특성과 항균기능을 조사하였다. 산화분해필름은 일정조건의 열과 자외선 처리를 거친 후 특성분석으로 FT_IR, SEM, UTM, GPC를 측정하여 물성변화를 관찰하였다. 카보닐지수와 하이드록실지수에서 열과 자외선에 노출율이 많아질수록 수치는 상승하였다. 표면분석에서는 rPP/$d2w^{(R)}$/ZnO나노컴포지트 필름의 경우 표면이미지가 매끈하여 ZnO의 첨가가 고분자의 상용성을 향상시켰고, 열과 자외선차단효과로 분해를 감소시키는 효과로 작용하였다. 항균력시험에서는 그람음성균은 대장균으로 그람양성균은 황색포도상구균으로 항균력을 측정하였다. 결과로는, ZnO는 시험에 사용한 농도에서 3로그 이상의 미생물 감소율을 나타내었다. 그러나 유연 필름용으로는 ZnO의 농도가 높아질수록 투명도가 떨어지므로 사용에 제한이 있었다. rPP/$d2w^{(R)}$/ZnO가 함유한 시편에서 인장강도는 40% 상승하였고, 신율은 30% 감소되었다. ZnO를 첨가한 경우 기계적 물성상승과 열 안전성과 자외선차단성을 나타내었다. 산화분해능은 열 노출 $70^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 480시간 경과한 후, 자외선 조사로 72시간 노출 이후 시점의 분자량은 수평균분자량이 1,294 g/mol, 무게평균분자량이 5,920 g/mol로 분해되는 결과를 얻었다. 이것으로 UAE 5009:2009, ASTM 6954의 기준에 준한 필름을 제조할 수 있었다. 비교시편과 본 연구에서 제조한 산화분해필름의 분자량이 80.7%와 75.6% 감소한 결과를 얻음으로서, 자연 산화분해됨을 확인하였다. 식품포장재로서 안전성분석에서는 국내법 중 식품접촉플라스틱 폴리프로필렌의 기준에 적합하였다.
