Abstract
The physical properties of functionalized graphene sheet (FGS)/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) was examined with various kinds of EVA, having vinyl acetate (VA) contents in the range of 0 to 40 wt%. The compatibility between FGS and EVA was enhanced as the polar VA content of EVA increased. Thus, the dispersion of FGS in EVA became finer, and the decrease of surface resistivity and the increase of tensile modulus by the added FGS became more effective when the VA content of EVA was high. When the VA content was low, the elongation at break was reduced drastically by added FGS due to the poor adhesion of FGS/EVA interface. The crystallization of EVA was generally retarded by the interaction with dispersed FGS. However, when both the VA content of EVA and the added amount of FGS were low, the crystallization of EVA was enhanced, probably due to the predominant nucleating effect by FGS.

Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) 중에 포함된 비닐아세테이트의 함량을 0~40 wt% 범위에서 변화시키면서, 관능화 그래핀 쉬트(functionalized graphene sheet, FGS)/EVA 복합재료의 물성 변화를 조사하였다. EVA 중 극성을 가진 비닐아세테이트의 함량이 증가할수록 FGS와의 혼화성이 증가하여, FGS의 분산이 좋아지면서 EVA의 표면 저항 감소, 모듈러스 증가가 효과적으로 발현되었다. EVA 중 비닐아세테이트의 함량이 적어 FGS와의 상호작용이 작은 경우는 계면에서의 접착력이 낮아 인장력을 부가한 경우 파괴가 급격히 진행되어 파괴점에서의 신도가 크게 감소하였다. 복합재료에서 EVA의 결정화는 FGS와의 상호작용으로 대체적으로 감소하였다. 하지만, 비닐아세테이트 함량이 작은 EVA에 소량의 FGS를 첨가한 경우는 기핵효과에 의한 결정화 촉진이 관찰되었다.
