Abstract
When the halogenated flame retardant, decabromodiphenyl oxide, was added to the polypropylene/nylon blend, and was compounded with montmorillonite and compatibilizer, maleic anhydride polypropylene, the improvement of flame retardancy and mechanical properties was investigated. The degree of dispersion between polymer resin and inorganic nanoparticles was investigated, and the flame retardancy and mechanical properties was measured quantitatively. XRD results showed that the montmorillonite was completely exfoliated after polypropylene/nylon nanocomposites was mixed above twice. By compounding with montmorillonite, polypropylene/nylon blend system was overcome the deterioration of flame retardancy. The tensile strength and impact strength were slightly increased, and by compounding with montmorillonite, the additional increase in mechanical properties was obtained. Therefore, the flame retardancy of polypropylene/nylon blend was decreased by adding nylon, but by compounding with inorganic nanoparticle, improvement of the flame retardancy and mechanical properties was obtained.

열가소성 수지인 폴리프로필렌과 나일론 블렌드를 무기나노입자인 몬모릴로나이트와 상용화제 말레산 무수물 폴리프로필렌을 사용하여 복합화한 나노복합재료에 할로젠 계열의 난연제 데카브로모다 이페닐옥사이드를 첨가하였을 때의 분산성과 난연특성 및 기계적 특성의 향상에 대해 실험하였다. 고분자 수지의 난연특성과 기계적 특성은 난연제의 첨가뿐만 아니라 나노복합화를 통해서도 향상될 수 있으며, 고분자 수지 내의 나노입자의 분산정도에 따라 매우 큰 차이가 생긴다. 고분자 수지와 무기나노입자 사이의 분산성과 그에 따른 난연특성 및 기계적 특성을 난연제와 무기나노입자의 함량에 따라 정량적으로 측정하였다. 폴리프로필렌/나일론 블렌드를 몬모릴로나이트로 복합화할 때 2회 이상 컴파운딩하면 완전히 분산되는 것을 XRD 결과로 확인하였다. 폴리프로필렌/나일론 블렌드를 복합화하면 나일론의 첨가로 인한 난연성의 저하를 극복할 수 있었으며, 무기나노입자가 완전히 분산되어 있을 때에는 추가적인 난연 특성의 향상을 얻었다. 그리고 폴리프로필렌은 나일론의 첨가로 인하여 인장강도와 충격강도가 약간 증가하였으며, 무기나노입자와의 복합화를 통해서 추가적인 기계적 물성의 증가를 관찰하였다. 이로부터, 폴리프로필렌의 기계적 물성의 향상을 위해 첨가한 나일론은 난연특성의 저하를 초래하지만 무기나노입자와의 복합화를 통해 난연특성의 향상과 추가적인 기계적 물성의 향상을 동시에 얻을 수 있었다.
