Abstract

The development of polyurethane (PU) using natural materials is attracting much attention. Therefore, in this study, soybean oil polyol (SOP) was synthesized using epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), and the formation of OH groups in SOP was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) was used in an equivalent ratio, and polyurethane sheets were prepared at various weight ratios of SOP and castor oil (CO). The tensile test data for the PU sheets measured by universal testing machine showed that the tensile modulus did not change significantly but the tensile strength and elongation at break increased with increasing the SOP content. The thermogravimetry data showed that as the SOP content increased, the thermal decomposition onset temperature of the PU sheet decreased due to the increase in urethane bonds per unit volume. The synthesized SOP can be used for manufacturing eco-friendly PU products.


천연소재를 활용한 폴리우레탄(PU)에 대한 연구가 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 에폭시화 대두유(ESO)를 사용하여 대두유 기반 폴리올(SOP)을 합성하였고, SOP에 OH 그룹이 생성되었음을 Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)로 확인하였다. Hexamethylene diisocyanate(HMDI)는 당량비로 사용하였고, SOP와 피마자유(CO)의 다양한 중량비에서 폴리우레탄 시트를 제조하였다. 만능재료시험기로 얻은 PU 시트의 인장시험 데이터는 SOP 함량이 증가함에 따라 인장 탄성률은 큰 변화가 없으나 인장 강도와 파단신율은 증가함을 보였다. 열중량분석기 데이터는 SOP 함량이 증가할수록 단위 부피당 우레탄 결합이 증가함으로 인해 PU 시트의 열분해 시작 온도가 낮아짐을 보였다. 합성된 SOP는 친환경적인 PU 제품의 제조에 활용이 가능하다.
