Abstract
Hollow fiber was prepared from the blend of a high density polyethylene (HDPE)/ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The changes in the morphology and mechanical property of the hollow fiber were investigated. The commercial product (Sterapore), having a high water permeability, was analyzed with viscosity measurement and FT-IR. The molecular weight of Sterapore was very high and its surface was coated with a vinyl alcohol/vinyl acetate copolymer. the content of UHMWPE in the HDPE/UHMWPE blend was limited below 10 wt%. In order to improve the dispersion of UHMWPE, a mineral oil should be introduced in the blend. The morphology and mechanical property of the hollow fiber of HDPE/UHMWPE blend were similar to those of the commercial product.

고밀도 폴리에틸렌 (HDPE)과 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌 (UHMWPE)을 혼합하여 중공사막을 제조하고, 이의 형태구조와 물성 변화를 조사하였다. 분자량 측정과 FT-IR을 이용한 분석 결과, 상품화된 중공사막(Sterapore)은 고분자량의 HDPE로 제조되었으며, 표면은 친수성 고분자인 비닐 알코올/비닐 아세테이트 공중합체로 코팅되어 높은 수투과도를 갖는 이유를 규명하였다. HDPE/UHMWPE 블렌드에서 UHMWPE의 혼합 한계 조성비는 10 wt% 이하이며, UHMWPE의 분산성을 높이기 위하여 혼합과정에서 광유를 도입하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 제조된 HDPE/UHMWPE 블렌드 중공사의 기계적 물성과 막 구조는 Sterapore와 유사하였다.
