Preparation and PTC Characteristics of Silicone Modified Maleated PE/HDPE/CNT

${\alpha},{\omega}$-Hydroxypropylpoly(dimethylsiloxane) was prepared from the reaction of a ${\alpha},{\omega}$-hydrogen polydimethylsiloxane with an allyl alcohol. MPE-g-poly(dimethylsiloxane) copolymer (MPES) was prepared from the graft copolymerization of MPE with ${\alpha},{\omega}$-hydroxypropyl group terminated PDMS. MPES/HDPE/EtO-CNT need to varify was prepared from the compounding of MPES, HDPE, and surface treated MWCNT with 4-ethoxybenzoic acid at $180^{\circ}C$. Melting point of the MPES/HDPE/EtO-CNT composite was decreased from 130 to $129^{\circ}C$ as increasing the content of MWCNT 10 to 20 wt% in the composite PTC characteristic of the MPES/HDPE/EtO-CNT composite was appeared at $120^{\circ}C$ as abruptly increasing the electrical resistivity at this temperature. The heighest PTC intensity of MPES/HDPE/EtO-CNT compsite at 10 wt% loading of EtO-CNT was 1.9.

Silicone 변성 말레화 PE/HDPE/CNT Composite의 제조와 PTC 특성

${\alpha},{\omega}$-Hydroxypropylpoly(dimethylsiloxane)은 ${\alpha},{\omega}$-hydrogenpolydimethylsiloxane을 allyl alcohol과 반응시켜 제조하였으며 이를 말레화 PE에 그라프트 시켜 MPE-g-PDMS 공중합체(MPES)를 제조하였다. MPES와 HDPE 및 4-ethoxybenzoic acid로 표면처리 된 MWCNT를 internal mixer에 가하고 $180^{\circ}C$에서 compounding하여 MPES/HDPE/EtO-CNT 복합체를 제조하였다. 열적특성을 측정한 결과 표면처리 된 CNT의 함량을 10에서 20 wt%로 증가시켜 제조한 MPES/CNT 복합체의 $T_m$은 132에서 $131^{\circ}C$로 약간 감소되었고 MPES/EtO-CNT 복합체의 경우 EtO-CNT의 함량을 10에서 20 wt%로 증가시킴에 따라 130에서 $129^{\circ}C$으로 약간 감소되었다. 또한 EtO-CNT를 사용하여 제조한 복합체의 경우 $120^{\circ}C$에서 전기저항이 급격하게 증가되어 PTC 현상이 나타났으며 또한 EtO-CNT의 함량을 10 wt%로 하여 제조한 복합체의 PTC intensity가 1.9로 가장 높게 나타났다.
