폴리메틸메타크릴레이트(PMMA, polymethyl methacrylate) 판재의 기존 물성에 영향을 주지 않는 범위에서 비할로겐계 난연제인 인계 난연제를 단량체인 메틸메타아크릴레이트를 괴상중합 하여 셀 주형 성형 법에 의하여 PMMA판재를 제조하였으며 난연제 함량에 따른 난연성, 가교제의 함량과 경화시간이 PMMA판재에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 고찰하였다. 난연제 함량이 증가할 수록 탄화길이는 감소, 차르양은 많아지며 난연 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 난연제의 함량이 증가할수록 난연성은 우수하였으나 경도가 낮아지는 경향이 있어 가교제를 3 wt.% 사용하여 경도를 증가 시켰으며, 가교제 첨가에 의해서 경화시간을 3시간에서 2시간으로 단축시킬 수 있었다.

In this paper, flame-resisting PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate) sheet was manufactured and its characteristics were tested. PMMA was synthesized by bulk polymerization of a monomer methyl methacrylate with addition of phosphorous flame retardant, triethyl phosphate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross linking agent. PMMA sheet was manufactured by using the cell molding method, which does not alter or affect the existing property of PMMA. Then the characteristics of PMMA sheet were tested for the TEP content, the content and curing time of EGDMA. As TEP content increases, the length of carbonization lessens and the amount of char production increases. As a result, it strengthened the effect of flame retardants. But the hardness of the sheet decreased as TEP content increased. However, hardness increased when EGDMA was added up to 3 wt% while curing time was decreased from 3 hours to 2 hours. There was no change of hardness when more than 3 wt% of EGDMA was used.
