Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate an anti-icing type anti-skid pavement material based on methyl methacrylate (MMA) resin to prevent traffic accidents caused by road surface icing during winter. To minimize performance variation due to the incorporation of anti-icing agents, an optimized MMA–BA–2-HEMA ternary resin system was designed as the base binder. Encapsulated organic salt-based anti-icing materials (potassium acetate, sodium formate, and a potassium acetate/sodium formate blend) were incorporated into the pavement mixture to fabricate the anti-icing type anti-skid pavement. Mechanical performance tests revealed that the addition of encapsulated anti-icing agents did not reduce adhesion strength, compressive strength, or abrasion resistance, showing comparable results to the plain specimens. This indicates that the encapsulated organic salts do not negatively affect the mechanical properties of the pavement. In the anti-icing performance tests, potassium acetate exhibited the fastest melting rate, while the potassium acetate/sodium formate blend demonstrated enhanced ion diffusion and melting persistence, indicating improved long-term anti-icing performance. The ice adhesion strength decreased in all specimens containing encapsulated anti-icing materials compared to the plain specimens. Furthermore, after 30 freeze–thaw cycles, all specimens exhibited approximately 7% reduction in compressive strength, regardless of the type or dosage of anti-icing material, confirming that the encapsulated agents did not induce structural degradation. Overall, the anti-icing type anti-skid pavement material developed in this study demonstrates both mechanical stability and durable anti-icing performance, suggesting its potential to improve road safety and maintenance efficiency during winter conditions.

본 연구는 겨울철 노면의 결빙으로 인한 교통사고를 예방하기 위해 MMA(Methyl methacrylate)계 수지를 기반으로 한 결빙방지형 미끄럼방지포장재를 개발하고 성능을 평가하였다. 결빙방지 소재의 혼입에 따른 미끄럼방지포장재의 성능변화를 최소화하기 위해 MMA·BA·2-HEMA 3성분계의 최적 비율 MMA계 수지를 기반으로 미끄럼방지포장재의 배합을 설계하였으며, 캡슐화 공정을 통해 제조된 유기염계 결빙방지 소재(초산칼륨, 포름산나트륨, 초산칼륨+포름산나트륨 혼합)를 미끄럼방지포장재에 혼입하여 결빙방지형 미끄럼방지포장재를 제조하였다. 기계적 성능 평가 결과 캡슐화된 유기염계 결빙방지 소재의 혼입에 따른 접착강도, 압축강도 및 내마모성의 저하는 없었으며 표준규격을 상회하는 수준을 보여 캡슐화된 유기염계 결빙방지 소재의 혼입은 기계적 성능 특성에 부정적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 결빙방지 성능 시험에서는 초산칼륨이 가장 빠른 융빙속도를 보였고, 초산칼륨+포름산나트륨 혼합형은 융빙 지속성 및 이온 확산성이 향상되어 장기적인 결빙방지 성능을 확보할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 빙착 접착력은 모든 캡슐화된 유기염계 결빙방지 소재의 혼입군에서 PLAIN 대비 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 동결 노화 가속 시험 후 모든 시험편에서 약 7%의 압축강도 감소가 관찰되었으며 결빙방지 소재의 유무나 혼입률과 관계 없는 경향을 보여 캡슐화된 결빙방지 소재가 구조적 손상을 유발하지 않음을 의미한다. 종합적으로 본 연구에서 평가된 결빙방지형 미끄럼방지포장재는 기계적 안정성과 장기적 결빙방지 성능을 동시에 확보할 수 있는 복합 기능성 포장재로서, 겨울철 도로의 교통안전성 향상과 유지관리 효율성 제고에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
