초록
본 연구에서는 다양한 NCO index에서 물 함량 변화가 자동차용 폴리우레탄 시트 폼 패드의 정적 안락감에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 정적 안락감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 UTM을 사용한 정하중 특성 시험을 통하여 히스테리시스 곡선을 나타냈으며, 이를 통해 25% 변형 시 경도와 65% 변형 시 경도, hysteresis loop area, hysteresis loss (%), 그리고 Sag factor를 구하였다. 동일한 NCO index에서 물 함량이 증가함에 따라 우레아 결합의 증가로 경도가 증가하고, 가교밀도가 증가하는 경향을 swelling ratio 측정으로 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 복원력은 감소하는 경향을 확인하였다. 또한 표면 경도의 증가로 인해 Sag factor가 감소하는 경향을 확인하였다. 동일한 물 함량에서 NCO index가 증가함에 따라 우레탄과 우레아 결합이 이소시아네이트와 추가 반응하여 가교도와 경도가 증가하고 이에 따라 복원력이 감소함을 확인하였다.
In this study, we identified how the water content change in various NCO index affects the static comfort of polyurethane seat foam pad for automobiles. In order to identify factors that affect the static comfort, a static load test was performed using UTM to plot a hysteresis curve. The hardness of the foam when it was modified by 25, 65%, hysteresis loop area, hysteresis loss (%), and Sag factor were also obtained. By measuring the swelling ratio, it was confirmed that, as the water content increased in a fixed NCO index, the hardness and crosslinking density increased while the restoring force decreased due to the increase of urea bond. Also the Sag factor decreased due to the increase of surface hardness. As the NCO index increased in a fixed water content, the urethane and urea bond reacted more with isocyanate, leading to an increase in hardness and decrease in restoring force.
