초록
기존의 상용 플라스틱으로 인한 환경 오염에 대한 우려가 높아지면서 대체 재료로서 생분해성 고분자에 대한 연구가 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 생분해성 열가소성 수지인 폴리 젖산에 유기 핵제의 도입으로 물성 강화 및 100% 생분해 가능한 나노복합재 개발을 목표로 한다. 그에 따라 무기 핵제의 대체재로 친환경 소재인 셀룰로오스 나노섬유를 채택하였다. 폴리 젖산 내 셀룰로오스 나노섬유의 균일한 분산을 위해 동결 건조 방식으로 나노화된 섬유 형상을 유지시켰으며, 이축압출기로 1차 교반을 진행하고, 사출 성형을 통해 이중 교반된 물성 시험용 시편을 제작하였다. 보강된 결정성을 확인하기 위해 시차주사 열량분석법을 사용하였고 1 wt%의 셀룰로오스 나노섬유가 보강재 및 핵제로서 작용하여 냉결정화온도가 약 14 ℃가량 감소하며, 결정화되는 정도 또한 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 기존 생분해성 고분자의 무기 핵제를 유기 나노소재로 대체함으로써 100% 생분해 가능한 친환경 나노복합재 개발하여 강화된 물성의 플라스틱 소재 개발을 위한 친환경적 대안을 제시한다.
Abstract
Growing environmental concerns regarding pollution caused by conventional plastics have increased interest in biodegradable polymers as alternative materials. The purpose of this study is to develop a 100% biodegradable nanocomposite material by introducing organic nucleating agents into the biodegradable and thermoplastic resin, poly(lactic acid), to improve its properties. Accordingly, cellulose nanofibers, an eco-friendly material, were adopted as a substitute for inorganic nucleating agents. To achieve a uniform dispersion of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) within PLA, the aqueous solution of nanofibers was lyophilized to maintain their fibrous shape. Then, they were subjected to primary mixing using a twin-screw extruder. Test specimens with double mixing were then produced by injection molding. Differential scanning calorimetry was employed to confirm the reinforced physical properties, and it was found that the addition of 1 wt% CNFs acted as a reinforcing material and nucleating agent, reducing the cold crystallization temperature by approximately 14 ℃ and increasing the degree of crystallization. This study provides an environmentally friendly alternative for developing plastic materials with enhanced properties, which can contribute to a sustainable future without consuming inorganic nucleating agents. It serves as a basis for developing 100% biodegradable green nanocomposites.
