Abstract
In this study, the changes in the chemical structure and the physical property of fluoropolymer films (PTFE, FEP, PFA, PVDF, and ETFE) induced by Co60 gamma ray in air, N2, and vacuum environments were investigated. FTIR spectra of the irradiated fluoropolymers indicate that the oxidation proceeded by the reaction of radicals generated by irradiation with oxygen in air. The changes in the heat of fusion and the degree of crystallinity of the irradiated fluoropolymers were investigated using DSC and the results indicate that the scission and crosslinking reactions of the irradiated fluoropolymers were largely influenced by the chemical structure. It was also found that the mechanical property of the irradiated fluoropolymer films under an air atmosphere was significantly decreased.

본 연구에서는 다양한 환경에서 방사선 조사된 불소고분자 필름(PTFE, FEP, PFA, PVDF 및 ETFE)들의 화학구조 및 물성 변화를 관찰하였다. 방사선은 Co60 감마선을 사용하였으며, 공기 분위기와 질소 분위기 및 진공 상태에서 조사하였다. 방사선 조사된 불소고분자 필름의 FTIR 분석을 통하여 방사선에 의해 생성된 라디칼이 공기 중 산소와 반응하여 산화반응이 진행되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 DSC를 이용하여 방사선 조사에 의해 변화되는 불소고분자의 용융열 및 결정화도를 관찰하여 고분자 구조에 따른 절단 및 가교반응을 확인하였다. 인장 강도 실험을 통하여 방사선 조사 환경에 따른 불소고분자의 물성 변화를 관찰한 결과 공기 분위기에서 조사된 불소고분자 필름들의 기계적 물성이 현저히 떨어지는 것을 관찰하였다.
