Melamincyanurate(MC), as an non halogen flame retardant are used as the polymer and plastic materials. In this study, melamine and cyanuric acid were used for the synthesis of MC. The optimum condition of synthetic MC were controlled by different molar ratio of melamine to cyanuric acid. MC was modified by coupling reaction with four different agents. The influences of modified MC were based on the coupling agent types. Preparation methods are available to offer the prospect of improved morphology control deposit stability in polyol. The results reveal that glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(GDS) has the best storage stability. The best properties were obtained with melamine and cyanuric acid from 1:1 molar ratio. Modification of MC through coupling agent can efficiently enhanced the deposit stability in polyol up to 30 %.

본 논문에서는 연구에서는 Nylon6를 기재로 하여 두 가지 Melamine계 난연제(melamine cyanurate: MC-100 and melamine phosphate:MPP-100)를 사용한 난연 Nylon를 개발하여 난연성 및 물성평가를 수행하였다. 난연Test는 UL-94 측정방법(수직연소 시험방법)을 이용하였고, 물성평가는 만능물성시험기(UTM)를 이용하여 인장강도, 굴곡강도, 굴곡탄성율 등을 측정하였고, 충격강도 시험기를 이용하여 충격강도를 측정하였다. 또한 Nano-clay(Cloisite 30B) 5wt%를 사용하여 물성에 미치는 효과를 관찰하였다. 수지의 난연성 평가결과에 의하면, 난연제의 함량이 5wt% 이상이면 V0급을 얻을 수 있었다. 난연제 함량이 증가함에 따라 인장강도. 굴곡강도는 감소하고, 굴곡탄성율은 증가하였다. MC-100의 경우, 5wt%까지는 Nylon6의 동등 이상의 물성을 유지하였다. Nano-clay의 경우, 분산 상태가 불량하여 기대 수준의 물성 향상과 난연 효과는 얻지 못했다.

In 2008, baby formula containing melamine was found to be responsible for a large outbreak of renal failure in infants in China. A total of 294,000 infants were hospitalized, and at least 6 babies died due to ingestion of the tainted formula. Melamine contains high levels of nitrogen (>60%), which is used as an indicator of protein content. Therefore, high levels of melamine in infant formula were thought to be the result of deliberate contamination m an attempt to increase its apparent protein content. Following inspections by China's national inspection agency, assorted products from at least 22 dairy manufacturers across China were found to have varied levels of melamine (range: 0.096196.61 mg/kg). Melamine co-exposure with cyanuric acid can induce acute melamine-cyanurate crystal nephropathy, which can lead to renal failure at much lower doses than if either compound were ingested alone. However, currently, there are very few data on melamine analogues other than cyanuric acid. At an expert meeting of the WHO and FAO held to review toxicological aspects of melamine and cyanuric acid on December 14, 2008, a new tolerable daily intake (TDI) of melamine was established that could be applied to the entire population, including infants. Therefore, a risk assessment of the various theoretical melamine contamination levels in infant formula and selected representative foods (other than infant formula and sole-source nutrition products) is urgently needed for Korean babies and children up to 7 years of age. Although the undetectable level regulation for infant formula may be low enough to guarantee the safety of babies under the age of 1 year (including premature babies), the melamine standard of 2.5 ppm for foods other than baby formula could be insufficient to protect the 95th percentile population aged 1~2 years because of this demographic's high consumption of milk, yogurt, and soy milk (hazard index = 1.79). Because TDIs are chronic values intended to protect an individual over his/her lifetime, occasional modest ingestion in excess of the TDI is not likely to be a health concern. However, children aged 1~2 years may have renal systems that are comparatively more sensitive to the crystallization of melamine and its analogues. Therefore, governmental jurisdictions may need to practice more prudent management of food items that could raise the melamine exposure for this population.
