Abstract
Polystyrene (PS)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposites were prepared via latex technology and the effect of nanotube length on rheological properties were investigated. Monodisperse PS particle was synthesized by the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization and two types of MWCNTs were used after surface modification to improve dispersion state and to remove impurities. Final nanocomposites were prepared by the freeze-drying process after dispersing the PS particles and the surface-modified MWCNTs in a ultrasonic bath. The effects of MWCNT content and nanotube length on rheological properties were evaluated by imposing the small-amplitude oscillatory shear flow. The PS/MWCNT nanocomposites showed that rheological properties were enhanced as the amount and length of MWCNT increased. It is speculated that the rheological characteristics of nanocomposites change from liquid-like to solid-like as the MWCNT amount increases, and the critical concentration to achieve network structure decreases as the nanotube length increases.

라텍스 블렌딩 기법을 이용하여 폴리스티렌(PS)/다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT) 나노복합재료를 제조하여 나노튜브 길이에 따른 나노복합재료의 유변학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 나노복합재료 제조에 사용된 단분산 PS 입자는 무유 화제 유화중합으로 제조하였고, MWCNT는 불순물 제거와 분산성 향상을 위해 표면개질 과정을 거친 후 사용하였다. 최종적인 나노복합재료는 단분산 PS 입자와 개질한 MWCNT를 초음파 교반조에서 분산시킨 후 동결건조 과정을 거쳐 제조하였다. 나노복합재료의 MWCNT 함량과 나노튜브 길이에 따른 유변학적 특성은 소진폭 진동 전단유동을 부과시켜 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 고찰한 PS/MWCNT 나노복합재료는 MWCNT의 함량이 증가할수록, 나노튜브 길이가 길수록 유변물성 향상 효과가 뚜렷하였다. 이는 MWCNT 함량이 증가할수록 나노복합재료의 유변학적 특성이 액체적 특 성에서 점차 고체적 특성으로 변화하기 때문이며, 나노튜브 길이가 길수록 네트워크 구조를 달성하는 임계 농도가 작아지기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
