본 연구에서는 연질 폴리우레탄 발포제 제조에서 여러 발포제와 내부온도, 기계적 물성과의 관계에 대해서 연구, 조사하였다. 발포제로는 물을 주발포제로 하여 보조발포제는 CFC-11(trichlorofluoromethane), HCFC-114b(dichlorofluoroethane), dichloromethane, n-pentane, iso-pentane, cyclopentane을 사용하였다. 기계적 물성을 측정하기 위하여 연질 폴리우레탄 발포제의 밀도가 $0.015{pm}0.002g/cm^3$와 $0.024{pm}0.002g/cm^3$인 두 종류의 발포제를 제조하였다. 연질 폴리우레탄의 발포제의 제조시 발포제별로 내부온도를 측정하였으며, 48시간 경과 후 밀도, 인장강도, 신장율, 인열강도, 압축강도, 압축영구변형률을 측정하였다. 연구 결과 dichloromethane과 cyclopentane이 보조발포제로 가장 적합하였다.
The effect of blowing agents and inner temperature on the machanical properties of the flexible polyurethane foams were investigated. In the study used that chemical blowing agents is $H_2O$ and support blowing agents. CFC-11, HCFC-114b, dichloromethane, n-penthane, iso-pentane, cyclopentane. The flexible polyurethane foams were foamed by the density of $0.015{pm}0.002g/cm^3$ and $0.024{pm}0.002g/cm^3$ which were used in mechanical properties measurements. Inner temperature was measure as long as the preparation of the flexible polyurethane foams of each blowing agents. The density, tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, compression strength and compression set were measured after 48 hours hardening. The result of the study was optimized dichloromethane and cyclopentane at the support blowing agents.
