Abstract

The icing formation at aircraft occur problems such as increasing weight of the body, fuel efficiency reduction, drag reduction, the error of sensor, and etc. The viscosity of polyurethane (PU) topcoat was measured at 60℃ in real time to set the pre-curing time. SiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed in ethanol using ultra-sonication method. The SiO2/ethanol solution was sprayed on PU topcoat that was not cured fully with different pre-curing conditions. Surface roughness of SiO2/PU nanocomposites were measured using surface roughness tester and the surface roughness data was visualized using 3D mapping. The adhesion property between SiO2 and PU topcoat was evaluated using adhesion pull-off test. The static contact angle was measured using distilled water to evaluate the hydrophobicity. Finally, the pre-curing time of PU topcoat was optimized to exhibit the hydrophobicity of SiO2/PU topcoat.

항공기에서의 결빙은 동체 전체의 무게증가로 인한 연료 효율 감소, 거칠기 생성으로 인한 항력 증가, 센서의 오작동 등과 같은 문제의 원인이다. 폴리우레탄 탑코트의 경화온도인 60℃에서의 경화시간에 따른 폴리우레탄 탑코트의 점도를 실시간으로 측정하였고 이 데이터를 통해 폴리우레탄 탑코트의 시간 별 점도에 대해 파악하였다. 실리카 나노입자는 초음파분산을 통해 에탄올 내에 분산을 진행하였고, 각기 다른 선경화 조건을 진행한 폴리우레탄 탑코트 위에 도포를 진행하였다. 실리카/폴리우레탄 탑코트 나노복합재료의 표면 거칠기는 표면 거칠기 테스터를 사용하여 측정하였고 표면 거칠기 데이터는 3차원 매핑을 사용하여 시각화 하였다. 선경화 시간에 따른 실리카와 폴리우레탄 탑코트 간의 접착력은 인발접착시험(Adhesion pull-off test)를 통하여 평가를 진행하였고, 표면 소수성은 증류수를 이용한 정적 접촉각을 통해 평가하였다. 최종적으로 소수성 표면을 위한 폴리우레탄 탑코트의 최적 선경화 시간을 파악할 수 있었다.
