In this study, surface form of damaged soft TPU skin were analyzed to expect the mechanism and the test method which reproduce the form was researched. First, samples were characterized into several groups depending on its surface form and analyzed. Then, the principle of perception in surface change was studied. Specimens were tested by major scratch and wear resistance test methods to develop test method, which replicates surface form of damaged sample. The effects of environmental aging – thermal and UV light aging – was also studied by testing chemical change of specimens and perception of scratch depending on the aging time.
자동차 내장재에 적용되는 thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU) 소프트 스킨의 긁힘 손상 형태를 분석하여 메커니즘을 예측하고 이를 모사할 평가방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 우선 손상 샘플을 대표적인 형태별로 분류하였고, 손상 부위의 변화를 정밀분석하여 어떠한 원리로 외관 변화가 발생하였는지 원인을 고찰하였다. 그리고 소프트 스킨 외관 품질을 관리하는 주요 방법들로 평가하였을 때의 손상 형태를 비교분석하여 샘플의 손상 형태를 모사할 수 있는 재현평가법을 도출하였다. 또한 내열 및 내광 환경 노화 시 조건 별로 시료의 화학적 변화, 긁힘 시인성을 평가하여 영향 인자를 분석하였다.
