PURPOSES : The objectives of this study are to develop the eco-friendly pavement material using polyurethane binder and evaluate mechanical properties of the developed binder and concrete. METHODS : The bending beam test was conducted to select the sample candidates of polyurethane binder based on the bending strength. The characteristics of viscosity, curing time, and temperature change of sample binder was examined on different temperature conditions. The mechanical properties of polyurethane binder was estimated using the dynamic modulus testing. The indirect tensile strength test was conducted on polyurethane binder concrete with different gradation and binder content for evaluating the mechanical properties of concretes. RESULTS : Based on the beading beam test, four different binder samples were prepared for estimate the mechanical properties. The viscosity of polyurethane binder tends to increase with increase of liquid temperature and the hardening phenomenon begins 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature after mixing the resin and hardener. It is observed that the dynamic modulus of binder increases as loading frequency increases and change of modulus is found to be the highest in the PU-2I binder type. The PU-2I binder concretes shows the largest value of indirect tensile strength and indirect tensile energy. CONCLUSIONS : The use of polyurethane binder as pavement materials is capable of increasing the pavement performance and reducing the detrimental environmental effect during the highway construction.

미세 조직은 SEM, FT-IR 스펙트라, 인장특성, 그리고 [NCO]/[OH]의 mole %, 입도분석에 의해 측정하였다. 친환경적인 NATM에 관한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 스테인레스같은 금속코팅에 더욱더 중요한 열경화 무용제 수지를 합성 하였다. 이 수지는 일반적 도료와 비교하여 매우 강도가 강하고 내구성이 매우 좋다. 폴리우레탄 수지는 폴리올, IPDI, 실리콘 계면활성제, 촉매, 충전제로 구성된다. 폴리우레탄 화합물은 가교제가 첨가된 수지가 가교제가 첨가되지 않은 수지보다 물성이 우수함을 나타냈다. 견고한 폴리우레탄 도료의 기계적 특성은 [NCO]/[OH]와 가교제가 증가함에 따라 강도가 증가하였다. 합성한 도료의 물성 향상은 스테인레스 산업뿐만 아니라 다양한 산업에서 폴리우레탄 고분자 수지가 강구조물의 보수보강에 많은 응용이 기대된다.
