Abstract

일반적으로 cross-link된 열경화성 에폭시수지는 유기용매에 용해되지 않고 열에 용융되지 않는 특성이 있다. 따라서 에폭시수지가 사용된 물질, 특히 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(carbon fiber reinforced plastic, CFRP)은 재활용이 어렵고, 사용 후 폐기물 처리에 막대한 비용이 소비되고 있다. 본 원고는 열경화성 에폭시수지 응용물 중 CFRP의 재활용을 중심으로 한 친환경적 재활용 기술에 관하여 정리하였다. 특히, CFRP의 구성요소인 탄소섬유(CF)와 기지재인 에폭시수지를 모두 재활용 할 수 있는 화학적 방법에 관하여 보고한다. 더 나아가 열경화성 에폭시수지의 화학적 분해물의 재이용기술에 관한 예를 소개한다.
