Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention is only defined by the scope of the following claims.

In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a moisture-resistant elastic board comprising a foamed resin foam including an open pore structure and a microporous ceramic particle supported on the inner surface of the open pore.

The elastic board for humidity control is a building material having a humidity control function and can be easily attached to an indoor wall surface of a building to control indoor humidity.

The elastic board for humidity control is formed of a foamed resin foam having an open pore structure and absorbs moisture when the humidity is high and emits moisture when the humidity is low while room air communicates with the inside of the open pores.

If the foamed resin foam has a high content of moisture, moisture may flow back to the surface of the foamed resin foam, thereby creating an environment capable of breeding microorganisms such as fungi. The elastic board for humidification may also have an inner surface It is possible to obtain an effect of double-absorbing moisture, so that moisture can be re-discharged to the surface of the elastic board for humidification, that is, condensation can be effectively suppressed.

The microporous ceramic particle contains micropores therein and has absorption capability of absorbing moisture when the humidity is high due to micropores and releasing moisture when the humidity is low.

The elastic board for humidity control can further improve the humidity control performance of the indoor air by supporting the microporous ceramic particles on the inner surface of the open pores of the foamed resin foam.

The above-described elastic board for humidity control exhibits the humidity control performance as described above, so that the indoor humidity can be kept constant, effectively preventing and suppressing indoor condensation, and effectively suppressing microbial propagation such as mold inside.

The difficulty in effectively solving the problem of condensation on the interior wall of a building using the heat insulating material is as described above. The elastic board for humidity control can be effectively applied as a building material for solving such a condensation problem. In addition, since the properties of the heat insulating material are mainly composed of various layers for completing the insulation and adhesion, many materials are used, and the manufacturing process is complicated and expensive. On the other hand, Can be easily carried out, and thus it is possible to solve the problem of condensation simply.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 shows a cross section of the elastic board (b) for humidity control.

The elastic board 20 for humidity control can be attached to the concrete wall surface 10 through the adhesive layer 30 as shown in FIG. The microporous ceramic particles (2) are supported in the open pores in a part of the opened pores (5) of the foamed resin foam (1) In the enlarged view of the ceramic particles 2, fine pores 6 are formed inside and the water 3 is absorbed and discharged in accordance with the ambient humidity by the fine pores 6.

By applying the elastic board for humidity control to an indoor wall of a building, condensation is generated on the indoor wall to effectively prevent the occurrence of mold. In addition, since the elastic board is used as a base material of a foamed resin foam, an adiabatic effect can also be obtained incidentally. Condensation has been a problem since insulation usually has a closed pore structure. Therefore, the elastic board for humidity control can also be used as a heat insulating material for preventing condensation.

The foamed resin foam may be produced by foaming using a known foamed resin material, wherein pores formed by foaming are connected to each other to form open pores. Since the foamed resin foam forms an open pore structure, it can communicate according to external humidity conditions and exhibit humidity control performance.

The pore structure of the foamed resin foam may include a closed cell formed by closing the wall surfaces of the pores and not connected to the other pores, a pore structure formed by partially or entirely opening at least one of the pore walls, And an open cell associated with the cell.

Pores are formed in the course of foaming or extrusion foaming of the resin composition for foaming to form the foamed resin foam, and as the pores are grown, the pore wall surface separating the adjacent two pores becomes thinner. As such, the thinned pore wall surface ruptures or tears and tears to form open pores. The degree and the rate at which the wall surface between adjacent bubbles become thinner due to the growth of the bubbles may vary depending on the melt strength and viscosity of the raw resin contained in the resin composition for blowing. For example, as the melt strength and viscosity of the raw material resin are increased in the course of foaming the resin composition for foaming, it is difficult for the wall surface between neighboring bubbles to be thin, so that the growth of bubbles may be difficult to occur. The lower the viscosity, the more easily these walls become thinner and the growth of bubbles can occur quickly. If the melt strength and viscosity of the raw material resin are too low, the bubble structure may not be stably maintained due to collapse or breakage of the foam structure during the foaming curing or extrusion foaming. As described above, the foamed resin foam may be prepared so as to include an open pore structure by appropriately adjusting the melt strength and viscosity of the resin composition for foam.

The porosity of the foamed resin foam may be about 10% to about 95% by volume. By having the porosity in the above numerical range, it is possible to impart a desired level of humidity control performance.

As described above, indoor air can be communicated through the open pores, and when room air of high humidity is introduced into the open pores, moisture is absorbed into the foamed resin foam through the wall surface of the open pores, The supported microporous ceramic particles also absorb moisture. When the room air having a low humidity is introduced into the open pores, water is released from the foamed resin foam through the wall surface of the open pores and the microporous ceramic particles carried in the open pores also release moisture.

Therefore, the open porosity can be a direct factor in imparting humidity control performance. The open porosity of the foamed resin foam may be from about 10% to about 95% by volume. As described above, the foamed resin foam has an open porosity in the above-mentioned numerical range, so that a desired level of humidity control performance can be imparted.

The open porosity can be measured according to a variety of known methods, and an exemplary measurement method can be measured based on a standard on the absorption rate of KS M ISO 7214: 2013. Specifically, the thermostatic chamber is filled with distilled water, and the foamed foam specimens 10 cm, 10 cm, and 1 cm in length, height, and height are immersed sufficiently so as not to come out of the distilled water, and then kept for 24 hours. The specimen taken from the water is immersed in ethanol (95% by weight or more) for about 5 minutes, and then the surface is dried and weighed (W _w ). After drying for 24 hours at 60 ° C for 24 hours, the mass of the specimen is again measured (W _i )

The open porosity (P _o ) as the porosity calculated using the water content is determined by the following equation.

[Equation 1]

Open porosity _{(P o) = 100 X [} (W w - W i) (g) X 1 / distilled water density ^{(g / cm 3)] /} [ test piece volume (cm ^3)]

The open pores formed in the foamed resin foam may have a structure in which pores with an average diameter of about 1500 mu m or less, specifically about 700 mu m to about 100 mu m, are connected to each other to communicate with each other. If the size of the unit cell of the open pore is excessively large, moisture may be condensed by gravity in a state of absorbing moisture in a high content, and may be discharged again as condensation water.

The foamed resin foam may be formed of a resin such as a urethane resin, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, an acrylic resin, a phenol resin, an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) resin, a polyethylene (PE) resin, PP) resin, polystyrene (PS) resin, and the like, and known resins capable of forming a foaming resin may be used without limitation, and may also include combinations thereof.

The elastic board for humidification absorbs and releases moisture into the micropores of the microporous ceramic particles to more effectively impart the humidity control performance.

The microporous ceramic particles contain fine pores and can exhibit humidity control performance more effectively by capillary phenomenon.

The microporous ceramic particles also have water absorbing ability, and when the foamed resin foam contains moisture in a high content, moisture is condensed by gravity and water is re-released again, and condensation water flowing to the surface of the moisture- It is possible to suppress the phenomenon that occurs.

The microporous ceramic particles may be carried in the open pores as particles having an average particle diameter of about 1 탆 to about 100 탆. If the size of the microporous ceramic particles is too small or less than the above range, the price rises. If the size is excessively larger than the above range, the pores of the formed foam may be blocked, have.

The microporous ceramic particles may include pores having an average diameter of about 1 nm to about 100 nm. By using the porous ceramic particles including fine micropores of the above-mentioned size, the humidity control performance can be further improved. If the size of the fine pores in the microporous ceramic particles is too small, the moisture absorption may occur, but the moisture permeation may not be smoothly performed, so that reuse after ventilation may be difficult. If the size of the micropores is larger than the above range, the number of the micropores and the surface area may decrease, and the moisture absorption and moisture absorption may be sharply reduced as a whole.

The microporous ceramic particles may include materials capable of exhibiting humidity control performance while including fine pores, such as zeolite, volcanic clay, diatomaceous earth, gamma alumina, silica gel, fumed silica, etc., May be used.

The elastic board for humidity control may include 100 parts by weight of the foamed resin foam and about 10 to about 80 parts by weight of the microporous ceramic particles. If the content of the microporous ceramic particles is less than the content range of the elastic board for humidity control, the moisture absorptive and desorptive property of the elastic board for humidity control is insignificant, and the performance of sucking and dewing moisture may be weak. Also, if the content of the microporous ceramic particles exceeds the above content range and the content of the microporous ceramic particles becomes too high, the softness of the board is lowered, and the elasticity may be lost and peeled off from the resin.

When the foamed resin foam is made of a foam formed of a soft resin, the elastic board for humidity control is formed as a film having ductility, which is advantageous in that the construction is more convenient.

For example, it is convenient to keep the elastic board for humidity control as a film and then to keep it in a roll shape, and it can be directly attached to the wall of the concrete after being cut to a proper size.

For example, the moisture-resistant elastic board can be manufactured as a flexible film having a thickness of about 1 mm to about 20 mm.

In another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing a foamed article, comprising: preparing a sol solution by mixing a foaming resin, microporous ceramic particles and a foaming agent; Injecting the sol solution into a molding mold, foaming and molding the solution; And a step of demolding and drying the foamed and molded foam formed body to produce an elastic board for humidity conditioning.

The above-described elastic board for humidity control can be manufactured by the above manufacturing method.

First, as a resin composition for foaming, a resin for foaming, microporous ceramic particles, a foaming agent, a dispersant, and an additive are mixed to prepare a sol solution.

Details of the foamable resin and the microporous ceramic particles are as described above. For example, the microporous ceramic particles include pores having an average diameter of about 1 nm to about 100 nm.

The foaming agent may be any known material capable of causing the foamed resin foam to have a predetermined degree of porosity. For example, a blowing agent of chlorofluorocarbon series, hydrogenated chlorofluorocarbon series, or hydrocarbon series may be used as the foaming agent, and an inert gas such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium, argon, neon or the like may be used. It is not.

And the foaming resin is foamed by forming the open pores by the foaming step.

The sol solution is prepared by adjusting the content and viscosity so as to form open pores.

A method of forming open pores will be exemplarily described. By blowing the foaming agent at a temperature higher than the temperature range at which the expansion ratio of the foaming agent is maximized, the foaming agent can be opened to form open pores.

The sol solution may further include at least one selected from the group consisting of a thickener, a plasticizer, a flame retardant, an antibacterial agent, an antifungal agent, a heat stabilizer, a lubricant, and the like.

The sol solution may further contain an additive suitably known in accordance with the purpose. For example, it is possible to add a pigment of a desired color to impart color to the elastic board for humidity control. In addition, a dispersant can be used to evenly disperse the microporous ceramic particles on the inner surface of the open pores of the foamed resin foam.

And the open porosity of the foamed and formed foam formed article is (10) to (95) volume%.
