일반적으로, 방석은 바닥이나 의자에 깔고 앉기 위한 것으로서, 대부분 내부가 솜으로 되어 있는 솜방석을 지칭한다.In general, the cushion is for sitting on the floor or chair, and refers to a cotton cushion that is mostly made of cotton inside.
솜방석은 충격을 흡수하여 앉는 사람으로 하여금 푹신푹신한 착석감을 제공한다. 이러한 착석감은 솜방석 내부의 섬유들이 그물처럼 형성되어 있고, 공기가 계속해서 공급되므로써 복원력을 주기 때문이다. 그러나, 좋은 착석감을 주기 위하여는 많은 양의 솜이 소요되어야 하고, 솜방석을 계속 이용하다 보면 방석의 두께가 얇아져서 착석감 및 통기성이 쉽게 저하된다.The cotton cushion absorbs the shock and provides the seating person with a soft and comfortable seat. This seating feeling is because the fibers inside the cotton cushion are formed like a net and give restoring force by continuously supplying air. However, in order to give a good seating feeling, a large amount of cotton is required, and if the cotton cushion continues to be used, the thickness of the cushion becomes thin and the seating comfort and breathability are easily degraded.

These examples are only provided by way of example only to more specifically describe the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is not limited by these examples. .
달리 정의되지 않는 한, 본 명세서에서 사용되는 모든 기술적 및 과학적 용어는 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야의 숙련자에 의해 통상적으로 이해되는 바와 동일한 의미를 갖는다. 상충되는 경우, 정의를 포함하는 본 명세서가 우선할 것이다.Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. In case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control.
본 발명의 일 양상에 따른 아로마테라피 및 항균 기능을 갖는 젤쿠션은 젤쿠션 조성물; 항균제; 및 식물에서 유래하는 방향유;를 포함하되, 젤쿠션 조성물은 폴리스티렌계 폴리머 및 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 5~8 중량부의 첨가제를 포함한다.Gel cushion having an aromatherapy and antibacterial function according to an aspect of the present invention gel cushion composition; Antibacterial agents; And aromatic oils derived from plants; wherein the gel cushion composition comprises 5 to 8 parts by weight of an additive based on 100 parts by weight of the mixture consisting of a polystyrene-based polymer and a copolymer of polypropylene and an oil.
일 실시예에 있어서, 젤쿠션 조성물은 폴리스티렌계 폴리머 및 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 5~8 중량부의 첨가제를 포함한 것으로서, 폴리스티렌계 폴리머는 삼블럭(triblock) 구조로서 SEBS(styrene-(ethylene/buthylene)-styrene Block Copolymer) 또는 SEEPS(Polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ethylene/propylene)-block polystyrene)일 수 있고, 폴리스티렌계 폴리머 및 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체는 PP-SEBS일 수 있다.In one embodiment, the gel cushion composition comprises an additive of 5 to 8 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of a mixture of a polystyrene-based polymer, a copolymer copolymerized with polypropylene and an oil, and the polystyrene-based polymer has a triblock structure. It may be SEBS (styrene- (ethylene / buthylene) -styrene Block Copolymer) or SEEPS (Polystyrene-block-poly (ethylene-ethylene / propylene) -block polystyrene), the copolymer copolymerized polystyrene-based polymer and polypropylene is PP May be SEBS.
폴리스티렌계 폴리머 및 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물은 폴리스티렌계 폴리머 및 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체 30 ~ 40중량%와 오일 60 ~ 70중량%를 포함하는 것이 바람직하다. 이 때 오일의 함량이 60중량% 미만이면 경도(Shoer A)가 상승함으로써 제압분산의 효과가 떨어지고 수축률이 매우 커져 사출 시 이젝팅(ejecting)이 매우 어렵고, 70중량%를 초과하면 오일과 공중합체의 혼합이 용이하지 않아 사출이 불가능하며, 혹시 사출이 된다 하더라도 사용 시 오일 블루밍이 발생하기 때문에 오일의 함량을 위 범위로 하는 것이 바람직하다.It is preferable that the mixture consisting of the copolymer copolymerized with the polystyrene polymer and the polypropylene and the oil contains 30 to 40 wt% of the copolymer copolymerized with the polystyrene polymer and the polypropylene and 60 to 70 wt% of the oil. At this time, if the oil content is less than 60% by weight, the hardness (Shoer A) is increased, so that the effect of suppression dispersion is reduced and the shrinkage rate is very large, so that ejecting is very difficult during injection, and when it exceeds 70% by weight, the oil and copolymer Injection is not possible because it is not easy to mix, and even if it is injection, it is preferable to set the oil content in the above range because oil blooming occurs during use.
또한 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 5 ~ 8 중량부의 첨가제를 포함하는 것이 바람직한데, 첨가제의 함량이 5중량 미만으로 사용되면 오일과 공중합체가 혼합되지 않아 물성이 저하될 수 있고, 8중량을 초과하면 경도가 증가하기 때문에 위 함량 범위로 첨가제를 넣는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, it is preferable to include an additive of 5 to 8 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the mixture of the copolymer and the oil. When the content of the additive is used less than 5 parts by weight, the oil and the copolymer may not be mixed, thereby deteriorating physical properties. It is preferable to add the additive in the above content range because the hardness increases when the weight is exceeded.
일 실시예에 있어서, 첨가제는 오일 블루밍을 제거하고 젤쿠션의 내열성을 향상시키기 위한 것으로 건식 실리카 또는 습식 실리카를 사용할 수 있다. 건식 실리카로서 흄드실리카(Fumed Silica)를 사용하는 것이 가장 바람직하다.In one embodiment, the additive is to remove oil blooming and to improve the heat resistance of the gel cushion may use dry silica or wet silica. Most preferably, fumed silica is used as dry silica.
일 실시예에 있어서, 젤쿠션 조성물은 성형시 가열에 의한 열화를 방지하기 위해 필요에 따라 열안정제를 더 포함할 수 있는데 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 0.3 ~ 0.7 중량부의 열 안정제를 포함하는 것이 바람직하다. 이러한 열안정제는 당업계에서 사용하는 일반적인 열안정제를 사용할 수 있으며, 특별히 한정하지는 않으나, 트리 페닐 포스파이트, 트리스-(2,6-디메틸페닐)포스파이트, 트리스-(모노- 및 디-노닐페닐의 혼합)포스파이트와 같은 유기 포스파이트; 디메틸벤젠 포스포네이트와 같은 포스포네이트류, 트리메틸 포스페이트와 같은 포스페이트류, 또는 상기한 열안정화제 중 적어도 1종을 포함하는 조합을 포함한다. 또한, 젤쿠션 조성물은 젤쿠션의 성능을 만족시키기 위해 경도(shore A)가 10 이하인 것이 바람직하다.In one embodiment, the gel cushion composition may further include a heat stabilizer as necessary to prevent deterioration due to heating during molding, including 0.3 to 0.7 parts by weight of the heat stabilizer relative to 100 weight of the mixture of the copolymer and oil It is desirable to. Such thermal stabilizers can be used general thermal stabilizers used in the art, and are not particularly limited, triphenyl phosphite, tris- (2,6-dimethylphenyl) phosphite, tris- (mono- and di-nonylphenyl Mixture of organic phosphites such as phosphites; Phosphonates such as dimethylbenzene phosphonate, phosphates such as trimethyl phosphate, or combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing thermal stabilizers. In addition, the gel cushion composition preferably has a hardness (shore A) of 10 or less to satisfy the performance of the gel cushion.
일 실시예에 있어서, 항균제는 미생물에 의해 생산되거나 합성에 의해 개발된 물질로 미생물의 성장을 억제하거나 죽이는 물질을 말한다. 항균제를 사용시에는 내열성, 화학적 반응성, 지속성, 인체 안전성 등을 고려하여 적절한 항균제를 선택하는 것이 중요하다. 항균제는 유기 항균제 또는 무기 항균제를 사용할 수 있다.In one embodiment, the antimicrobial agent is a substance produced or synthesized by the microorganism and refers to a substance that inhibits or kills the growth of the microorganism. When using an antimicrobial agent, it is important to select an appropriate antimicrobial agent in consideration of heat resistance, chemical reactivity, durability, and human safety. The antimicrobial agent may use an organic antimicrobial agent or an inorganic antimicrobial agent.
유기 항균제는 세균이나 바이러스의 먹이가 되어 사멸시키는 관기능을 이용하는 것으로서, 천연제품과 합성품이 있으며, 천연제품은 차, 대나무, 고추냉이 등에서 채취한 액기스로 구성되어 가장 안정하다. 유기 항균제는 일반적으로 액상 상태로 되어 있고, 단시간 내에 항균력을 필요로 하는 제품에 주로 사용된다. 일시적인 항균력은 무기 항균제에 비해 높다. 유기 항균제로 10,10'-oxybisphenoxarsine(OBPA), Zinc bis(2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide) 등이 있고, 안정성의 측면에서 Zinc bis(2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide)가 바람직하나, 이에 국한되지 않고 다른 공지의 유기 항균제도 사용이 가능하다. Organic antimicrobial agents use the function of the tube to kill bacteria and viruses, and there are natural products and synthetic products. Natural products are composed of extracts from tea, bamboo, wasabi, etc., which are the most stable. Organic antibacterial agents are generally in a liquid state and are mainly used for products requiring antimicrobial activity in a short time. Transient antimicrobial activity is high compared to inorganic antimicrobials. Organic antibacterial agents include 10,10'-oxybisphenoxarsine (OBPA) and Zinc bis (2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide), and zinc bis (2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide) is preferable in terms of stability, but is not limited thereto. And other known organic antibacterial agents can be used.
무기 항균제는 세균이 살 수 없는 환경을 만들어 신진대사가 원활치 않아 고사시키는 항균 메커니즘을 이용하는 것으로, 제올라이트, 실리카 알루미나 등의 무기담체에 은, 구리, 아연 등과 같이 항균성이 뛰어난 금속이온을 치환시킨 것이다. 무기 항균제는 미세한 기공을 가진 3차원의 골격구조를 지니기 때문에 비표면적이 크고 내열성이 우수하다. 특히, 은, 구리, 아연은 항균력이 강하고 안정성이 높은 금속으로 인체에 무해한 것으로 판명되어 있다. 최근에는 나노 산화아연을 응용한 다양한 항균 제품들이 개발되고 있다. 무기 항균제의 항균효과는 약제의 용출에 의한 즉효성은 없지만 지속성이 길고 내성균을 발생시키지 않는다는 장점을 가지나, 비싸다는 단점이 있다. 다양한 공지의 무기 항균제를 사용할 수 있다.Inorganic antimicrobial agents use an antimicrobial mechanism that creates an environment in which bacteria cannot live and causes metabolism to die off. The inorganic antimicrobial agents, such as silver, copper, and zinc, are replaced with inorganic carriers such as zeolite and silica alumina. Inorganic antimicrobial agents have a three-dimensional skeleton structure with fine pores, and thus have a large specific surface area and excellent heat resistance. In particular, silver, copper, and zinc are metals having strong antibacterial activity and high stability, and have been found to be harmless to the human body. Recently, various antibacterial products using nano zinc oxide have been developed. Although the antimicrobial effect of the inorganic antimicrobial agent is not immediate due to the dissolution of the drug, it has the advantages of long-lasting and resistant bacteria, but has the disadvantage of being expensive. Various known inorganic antibacterial agents can be used.
일 실시예에 있어서, 항균제는 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 0.05~10.0 중량부인 것이 바람직하다. 항균제의 성능은 항균 활성치를 통해서 알 수 있는데, 항균 활성치란 일정시간 동안 배양된 균주의 수를 비교하여 항균정도를 평가한 값으로서, 그 값이 2 이상이면 99% 이상의 균주가 사멸되고, 3 이상이면 99.9% 이상의 균주가 사멸되어 항균 효과가 있는 것으로 본다. 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 항균제의 함량이 0.05 중량부 미만이면, 항균 활성치 값이 2에 미치지 못하여 항균 효과를 발휘하기 힘들고, 10.0 중량부 초과할 경우 젤쿠션의 제조공정(배합, 사출 등의 각 공정)에서 기포 발생, 물성 저하, 미성형 또는 계량 불가 등의 트러블이 발생할 수 있다.In one embodiment, the antimicrobial agent is preferably 0.05 to 10.0 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the mixture of the copolymer and the oil. The performance of the antimicrobial agent can be seen through the antimicrobial activity value. The antimicrobial activity value is a value for evaluating the antimicrobial degree by comparing the number of strains cultured for a certain time. If it is 99.9% or more of the strain is considered to have an antimicrobial effect. When the content of the antimicrobial agent is less than 0.05 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the mixture of the copolymer and the oil, the antimicrobial activity value is less than 2, and thus the antimicrobial effect is hardly exerted. In each step), troubles such as bubble generation, property deterioration, unmolding or non-measurement may occur.
일 실시예에 있어서, 방향유('정유'라고도 함)는 식물에서 유래하는 것으로, 식물로부터 추출한 휘발성이 있는 방향성 화합물을 포함하고 있는 소수 농축액이다. 휘발성 기름, 이센셜 오일(essential oil), 에센스(essence)라고도 한다. 일반적으로 꽃, 잎, 열매, 가지, 줄기, 뿌리 따위에서 채취하여 정제한 방향유나 휘발유를 가리키고, 음식 및 음료의 향미와 더불어 향수, 화장품, 비누 등에 사용되고 있다. 방향유는 라벤더, 그레이프 프루트, 유칼립투스, 로즈메리, 페퍼민트 및 일랑일랑으로 이루어진 군에서 선택된 적어도 어느 하나로부터 추출된 것을 사용할 수 있다.In one embodiment, the fragrance oil (also referred to as 'essential oil') is a minority concentrate derived from a plant and containing a volatile aromatic compound extracted from the plant.

일 실시예에 있어서, 제1단계(S10)는 폴리스티렌계 폴리머 및 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체와 첨가제를 혼합하는 단계로서, 젤쿠션의 오일 블루밍(oil blooming)을 제거하기 위해 첨가제를 혼합하는 단계이다.In one embodiment, the first step (S10) is a step of mixing a polystyrene-based copolymer and a copolymer copolymerized with polypropylene and an additive, mixing the additive to remove oil blooming of the gel cushion to be.
폴리스티렌계 폴리머는 삼블럭(triblock) 구조로서 SEBS(styrene-(ethylene/buthylene)-styrene Block Copolymer) 또는 SEEPS(Polystyrene-blockpoly(ethylene-ethylene/propylene)-block polystyrene)일 수 있다. 본 명세서에서는 폴리스티렌계 폴리머로서 SEBS와 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체인 PP-SEBS를 일 예로 설명하나, 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다.The polystyrene-based polymer may be a styrene- (ethylene / buthylene) -styrene block copolymer (SEBS) or polystyrene-blockpoly (ethylene-ethylene / propylene) -block polystyrene (SEBS) as a triblock structure. In the present specification, as a polystyrene-based polymer, PP-SEBS, which is a copolymer of SEBS and polypropylene, is described as an example, but is not limited thereto.
첨가제는 오일 블루밍을 제거하고 젤쿠션의 내열성을 향상시키기 위한 것으로 건식 실리카 또는 습식 실리카를 사용할 수 있다. 건식 실리카로서 흄드 실리카(Fumed Silica)를 사용하는 것이 가장 바람직하다. The additive is to remove oil blooming and to improve heat resistance of the gel cushion, and dry silica or wet silica may be used. Most preferably, fumed silica is used as dry silica.
일 실시예에 있어서, 제2단계(S20)는 제1단계의 혼합된 혼합물을 교반하면서 오일을 조금씩 첨가하기 위하여 적하하는(dropping) 단계이다. 오일의 적하단계가 필요한 것은 혼합물에 오일이 잘 섞이도록 하기 위한 것이다.In one embodiment, the second step S20 is a dropping step for adding oil little by little while stirring the mixed mixture of the first step. The oil dropping step is necessary to ensure that the oil is well mixed in the mixture.
일 실시예에 있어서, 제3단계(S30)는 제2단계의 혼합물에 식물에서 유래하는 방향유 및 항균제를 첨가하는 단계로서, 첨가하는 방향유 및 항균제는 상술한 방향유 및 항균제를 의미하는 것이고, 중복되는 기재는 생략하도록 한다.In one embodiment, the third step (S30) is a step of adding the fragrance oil and the antimicrobial agent derived from the plant to the mixture of the second step, the fragrance oil and the antimicrobial agent to add means the above-mentioned fragrance oil and antimicrobial agent, overlapping The description is omitted.
일 실시예에 있어서, 제4단계(S40)는 제3단계에서 오일이 적하된 혼합물을 슈퍼 고속믹서를 이용하여 10분 내지 20분간 교반하여 젤쿠션 조성물, 즉 젤 상태의 원재료를 제조하는 단계이다.In an embodiment, the fourth step (S40) is a step of preparing a gel cushion composition, that is, a raw material in a gel state by stirring the mixture in which the oil is dropped in the third step using a super high speed mixer for 10 to 20 minutes. .
제4단계의 젤쿠션 조성물은 폴리스티렌계 폴리머 및 폴리프로필렌을 공중합한 공중합체 30 ~ 40 중량%와 오일60 ~ 70중량%로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 5 ~ 8 중량부의 첨가제를 포함하는 구성으로 하는 것이 바람직하다. 이때 오일의 함량이 60중량% 미만이면 경도(Shoer A)가 상승함으로써 제압 분산의 효과가 떨어지고 수축률이 매우 커져 사출시 이젝팅(ejecting)이 매우 어렵고, 70중량%를 초과하면 오일과 공중합체의 혼합이 용이하지 않아 사출이 불가능하며, 혹시 사출이 된다 하더라도 사용시 오일 블루밍이 발생하기 때문에 오일의 함량을 위 범위로 하는 것이 바람직하다.The gel cushion composition of the fourth step is composed of 5 to 8 parts by weight of an additive based on 100 to 40% by weight of the mixture consisting of 30 to 40% by weight of the copolymer of polystyrene-based polymer and polypropylene and 60 to 70% by weight of oil. desirable. At this time, if the oil content is less than 60% by weight, the hardness (Shoer A) is increased, so that the effect of suppression dispersion is reduced and the shrinkage rate is very large, so that ejecting during injection is very difficult. Injection is not easy because it is not easy to mix, and even if it is injection, it is preferable to set the oil content in the above range because oil blooming occurs during use.
또한 젤쿠션 조성물은 성형시 가열에 의한 열화를 방지하기 위해 필요에 따라 열안정제를 더 포함할 수 있는데 공중합체와 오일로 이루어진 혼합물 100 중량 대비 0.3 ~ 0.7 중량부의 열안정제를 포함하는 것이 바람직하다. 이러한 열안정제는 당업계에서 사용하는 일반적인 열안정제를 사용할 수 있으며, 특별히 한정하지는 않으나, 트리페닐 포스파이트, 트리스-(2,6-디메틸페닐)포스파이트, 트리스-(모노- 및 디-노닐페닐의 혼합)포스파이트와 같은 유기포스파이트; 디메틸벤젠 포스포네이트와 같은 포스포네이트류, 트리메틸 포스페이트와 같은 포스페이트류, 또는 상기한 열안정화제 중 적어도 1종을 포함하는 조합을 포함한다.In addition, the gel cushion composition may further include a heat stabilizer as necessary to prevent deterioration due to heating during molding, it is preferable to include a heat stabilizer of 0.3 to 0.7 parts by weight relative to 100 weight of the mixture consisting of a copolymer and an oil. Such thermal stabilizers can be used general thermal stabilizers used in the art, and are not particularly limited, triphenyl phosphite, tris- (2,6-dimethylphenyl) phosphite, tris- (mono- and di-nonylphenyl Organic phosphites such as phosphites; Phosphonates such as dimethylbenzene phosphonate, phosphates such as trimethyl phosphate, or combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing thermal stabilizers.
또한 제4단계의 교반은 40~50℃의 온도의 배스(Bath)에서 5000~6000rpm의 속도로 교반하는 것이 바람직하다. 이때 배스의 온도가 40℃미만이면 오일과 공중합체가 고르게 섞이지 않고 50℃를 초과하면 제조 후 열화에 의하여 물성이 저하되기 때문에 위 온도 범위로 하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 교반속도가 5000rpm 미만이면 교반하는데 소요되는 시간이 증가하며 교반시간이 충분하지 않으면 공중합체의 분산도가 떨어져 오일 블루밍이 발생할 수 있고 6000rpm을 초과하면 공중합체 분자상의 열화(degradation)로 물성이 저하될 수 있기 때문에 위 온도 범위로 하는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, the stirring of the fourth step is preferably stirred at a speed of 5000 ~ 6000rpm in a bath (Bath) of the temperature of 40 ~ 50 ℃. At this time, if the temperature of the bath is less than 40 ° C oil and copolymer is not evenly mixed, if it exceeds 50 ° C it is preferable to set the above temperature range because the physical properties are degraded by deterioration after manufacture. In addition, if the stirring speed is less than 5000rpm, the time required for stirring is increased.If the stirring time is not sufficient, the dispersion of the copolymer may be deteriorated and oil blooming may occur.If the stirring speed exceeds 6000rpm, physical properties are degraded due to degradation of the copolymer molecules. It is preferable to set the above temperature range as it can be.
일 실시예에 있어서, 제5단계(S50)는 제4단계에서 제조된 젤쿠션 조성물을 사출하여 최종 제품인 젤쿠션을 제조하는 단계이다. 이때 사출압력은 15kg/cm2 이하, 바람직하게는 15kg/cm2이고, 노즐온도는 250℃인 것이 바람직하다. 사출압력이 15kg/cm2를 초과하는 경우 버(burr) 발생 및 이젝팅(ejecting)이 매우 어렵기 때문에 15kg/cm2 이하로 하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 각 셀의 구조는 정삼각형, 정사각형, 정육각형 및 정사각형과 정육각형이 혼합된 구조 중 어느 하나의 형태를 가지는 것이 바람직하다.In one embodiment, the fifth step (S50) is a step of preparing a gel cushion as a final product by injecting the gel cushion composition prepared in the fourth step. At this time, the injection pressure is 15kg / cm 2 or less, preferably 15kg / cm 2 , the nozzle temperature is preferably 250 ℃. When the injection pressure exceeds 15 kg / cm 2 , burr generation and ejecting are very difficult, so it is preferable to set it to 15 kg / cm 2 or less. In addition, it is preferable that the structure of each cell has any one of a regular triangle, a square, a regular hexagon, and a structure in which a square and a regular hexagon are mixed.
본 발명인 아로마테라피 및 항균 기능을 갖는 젤쿠션을 제조하는 방법을 통해 종래의 압출 및 펠렛타이징 공정을 없애고 방향유 및 항균제를 첨가하며, 젤 상태의 원재료를 바로 사출함으로써 아로마테라피 효과를 얻을 수 있고, 위생성을 강화하면서도 제조공정의 비용을 현저히 줄일 수 있는 효과를 가진다.Through the method of manufacturing the gel cushion having the aromatherapy and antibacterial function of the present invention, the conventional extrusion and pelletizing process is eliminated, fragrance oil and antimicrobial agent are added, and the aromatherapy effect can be obtained by directly injecting raw materials in a gel state. It has the effect of significantly reducing the cost of the manufacturing process while enhancing hygiene.
