초록

변형된 플라즈마 반응기에서 아르곤 플라즈마를 사용하여 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)의 표면을 가교하였다. bead와 필름 형태의 시료 표면을 개질하기 위해 플라즈마 반응기를 제작하였고, 가교 정도에 대한 플라즈마 처리 시간, 가스압력, RF power의 영향을 조사하였다. 개질 장치는 반응기, 가스 공급부분, 진공 시스템 부분, 플라즈마 시스템 부분의 4부분으로 이루어져 있다. HDPE의 가교 정도는 용매 추출법으로 조사하였다. 플라즈마 처리된 HDPE의 표면 가교 정도(%)는 플라즈마 처리 시간이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 더 긴 시간 후에는 일정함을 알 수 있었다. FT-IR, DSC, SEM을 사용하여 플라즈마 처리 전과 후의 화학적, 물리적인 HDPE의 표면 특성을 조사하였다. 표면 가교된 HDPE bead를 열 에너지 저장 물질로 개발하기 위해 조사하였다.

The high density polyethylene (HDPE) was surface-crosslinked in a modified plasma reactor using argon plasma. A modified plasma reactor was developed to treat the surface of both bead and film, and the effects of the plasma treatment time, gas pressure and RF power on the degree of crosslinking were examined. The reactor for plasma modification consists of four main sections: reaction column, gas input system, vacuum system, and RF plasma matching system. The degree of crosslinkng was estimated by solvent extraction method. Gel content(%) for plasma treated HDPE was increased with increasing treatment time, but it leveled-off with further treatment. The chemical and physical properties of plasma treated and untreated HDPEs were compared by using FT-IR, SEM and DSC. The crosslinked HDPE bead was investigated for the purpose of developing thermal energy storage (TES) material.
