Pulverized polyurethane foam particles reinforced rigid polyurethane foam and phenolic foam

Polyurethane consumption has been increasing in recent years, raising concerns about how to deal with the polymer waste. Post‐consumer rigid polyurethane foams or polyurethane foam scraps (PPU) ground into particles were utilized to strengthen mechanical properties of rigid polyurethane foam (PUF) and phenolic foam (PF). Viscosity of prepolymer with PUF was measured and PPU was well dispersed in prepolymer, as observed by optical microscope. Microstructures and morphologies of the reinforced foam were examined with scanning electron microscope (SEM) while cell diameter and density were measured by Scion Image software. Universal testing machine was employed to optimize compressive properties at various weight ratios of PPU. Both PUF and PF with 5 wt % PPU, respectively, exhibited considerable improvement in mechanical properties especially compressive property. The compressive modulus of PUF with 5 wt % PPU was 12.07 MPa, almost 20% higher than pure PUF while compressive strength of PF with 5 wt % PPU reached 0.48 MPa. The thermal stability of the reinforced foam was tested by thermal gravity analysis (TGA) and the result shows no obvious impact with PPU. The decomposition temperatures of PUF with PPU and PF with PPU were 280°C, because PPU has relatively weak thermal stability. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Design and formulation of polyurethane foam used for porous alumina ceramics

The present work studied a simple direct foaming method for preparation of porous alumina ceramics by expansion of a ceramic suspension based on polyurethane (PU) foam system. The effects of polyurethane formulas including catalyst composition, blowing agent content, NCO index and solid content on the samples properties were investigated. The results showed that the homogeneity, porosity and mechanical properties are various for different formulas. The dried green bodies showed diametrical compressive strength in the range of 0.39–1.25 MPa and were amenable to machining operations such as milling, drilling and lathing. Meanwhile, PU formulas play an important role in the microstructures and mechanical properties of green bodies and sintered ceramic foams. Pyrolytic removal of polyurethane skeleton followed by sintering at 1550 °C produced alumina bodies with open cell porosity 54–75% and diametrical compressive strength 1.39–28.47 MPa. Microstructure showed both large (200–300 μm) and small (50–100 μm) pores all with various sizes of windows. Based on the optimization of polyurethane formulation, the porous alumina foam with porosity of 64% and compressive strength of 25.26 MPa was prepared. This polyurethane foam system is easily available and low-cost, which could be widely applied in preparation of other porous ceramics, such as ZrO₂, SiO₂, etc.

A flame‐retardant composite foam: foaming polyurethane in melamine formaldehyde foam skeleton

A composite foam, polyurethane–melamine formaldehyde (PU/MF) foam, was prepared through foaming PU resins in the three‐dimensional netlike skeleton of MF foam. The chemical structure, morphology, cell size and distribution, flame retardancy, thermal properties and mechanical properties of such composite foam were systematically investigated. It was found that the PU/MF foam possessed better fire retardancy than pristine PU foam and achieved self‐extinguishment. Moreover, no melt dripping occurred due to the contribution of the carbonized MF skeleton network. In order to further improve the flame retardancy of the composite foam, a small amount of a phosphorus flame retardant (ammonium polyphosphate) and a char‐forming agent (pentaerythritol) were incorporated into the foam, together with the nitrogen‐rich MF, thus constituting an intumescent flame‐retardant (IFR) system. Owing to the IFR system, the flame‐retardant PU/MF foam can generate a large bulk of expanded char acting as an efficient shielding layer to hold back the diffusion of heat and oxygen. As a result, the flame‐retardant PU/MF foam achieved a higher limiting oxygen index of 31.2% and exhibited immediate self‐extinguishment. It exhibited significantly reduced peak heat release rate and total heat release, as well as higher char residual ratio compared to PU foam. Furthermore, the composite foam also showed obviously improved mechanical performance in comparison with PU foam. Overall, the present investigation provided a new approach for fabricating a polymer composite foam with satisfactory flame retardancy and good comprehensive properties. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

Liquefaction of wheat straw and preparation of rigid polyurethane foam from the liquefaction products

Wheat straw was liquefied in the mixture of polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) and glycerin in the presence of acid at the temperature 130–160°C. The final liquefaction products having the hydroxyl number of 250–430 mg KOH/g and the of about 1050 can be used as the polyol component to manufacture polyurethane. A kind of polyurethane foam was prepared from liquefied wheat straw, commercial polyol, and diisocyanates in the presence of organotin catalysts and foaming agents. The polyurethane foam presented better compressive strength and thermal stability than that manufactured from diisocyanate and polyol alone. The thermal stability of PU foam was improved with the increase of [NCO]/[OH] ratio and the addition of liquefied wheat straw. The polyurethane foam presented faster biodegradation at ambient temperature than normal polyurethane foam did. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009

Physical properties of water‐blown rigid polyurethane foams containing epoxidized soybean oil in different isocyanate indices

To explore the potential of isocyanate usage reduction, water‐blown rigid polyurethane foams were made by replacing 0, 20, and 50% of Voranoll® 490 in the B‐side of the foam formulation by epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) with an isocyanate index ranging from 50 to 110. The compressive strength, density, and thermal conductivity of foams were measured. The foam surface temperature was monitored before and throughout the foaming reaction as an indirect indication of the foaming temperature. Increasing ESBO replacement and/or decreasing isocyanate index decreased the foam's compressive strength. The density of the foam decreased while decreasing the isocyanate index to 60. Further decrease in isocyanate index resulted in foam shrinkage causing a sharp increase in the foam density. The thermal conductivity of foams increased while decreasing the isocyanate index and increasing the ESBO replacement. Mathematical models for predicting rigid polyurethane foam density, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity were established and validated. Similar to compressive strength, the foaming temperature decreased while decreasing the isocyanate index and increasing the ESBO replacement. Because of the lower reactivity of ESBO with isocyanate, the rate of foaming temperature decrease with decreasing isocyanate index was in the order of 0% > 20% > 50% ESBO replacement. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of flame-retardant melamine and dispersants on the mechanical,thermal, and foaming properties of flexible polyurethane foam

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of adding flame-retardant melamine and five different dispersants on the precipitation, foaming, mechanical, and thermal properties of flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF). Precipitation experiments were conducted to analyze the effect of dispersant on the separation of flame retardant and polyol, and the foaming characteristics of polyurethane (PU) foam after adding dispersant were analyzed. The effect of adding a dispersant on mechanical strength was characterized by measuring tensile strength, tearing strength, and hardness, and scanning electron microscopy analysis was performed to analyze morphological characteristics. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed to analyze the thermal properties of PU foam. A horizontal flame test, limiting oxygen index test, and cone calorimeter tests were conducted to examine the flame retardancy of PU foam with flame retardant melamine and dispersant added. The dispersant ANTI-TERRA-U is a solution of a salt of unsaturated polyamine amides and low-molecular acidic polyesters. And, the dispersant BYK-220S is a solution of a low molecular weight, unsaturated acidic polycarboxylic acid polyester with a polysiloxane copolymer. The dispersants ANTI-TERRA-U and BYK-220S improved the density, tensile strength, tear strength, and hardness of FPUF. TGA of the top and bottom portions of the foam showed less weight difference for samples containing dispersants, indicating better homogeneity due to improved dispersibility. Therefore, we conclude that dispersants are beneficial additives to improve the mechanical properties and dispersibility of PU foam.     

Nanoclay filled soy‐based polyurethane foam

Polyurethane foam was fabricated from polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) and soy‐based polyol. Nanoclay Cloisite 30B was incorporated into the foam systems to improve their thermal stabilities and mechanical properties. Neat polyurethane was used as a control. Soy‐based polyurethane foams with 0.5–3 parts per hundred of polyols by weight (php) of nanoclay were prepared. The distribution of nanoclay in the composites was analyzed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and the morphology of the composites was analyzed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal properties were evaluated through dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Compression and three‐point bending tests were conducted on the composites. The densities of nanoclay soy‐based polyurethane foams were higher than that of the neat soy‐based polyurethane foam. At a loading of 0.5 php nanoclay, the compressive, flexural strength, and modulus of the soy‐based polyurethane foam were increased by 98%, 26%, 22%, and 65%, respectively, as compared to those of the neat soy‐based polyurethane foam. The storage modulus of the soy‐based polyurethane foam was improved by the incorporation of nanoclay. The glass transition temperature of the foam was increased as the nanoclay loading was increased. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011     

Mechanical and thermal properties of phenolic/glass fiber foam modified with phosphorus‐containing polyurethane prepolymer

Phenolic foam exhibits outstanding flame, smoke and toxicity properties, good insulation properties and low production costs. However, the brittleness and pulverization of phenolic foam have severely limited its application in many fields. In this study, a novel phosphorus‐containing polyurethane prepolymer (DOPU) modifier was firstly synthesized, and then the foaming formula and processing of toughening phenolic foam modified with DOPU and glass fiber were explored. The structure and reactive behavior of prepolymer and phenolic resin were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effects of DOPU and glass fiber on the apparent density, compressive strength, bending strength and water absorption were investigated. The results suggested that the apparent density, compressive strength and bending strength of modified phenolic foam tended to increase irregularly with increasing content of DOPU. The addition of DOPU led to lower water absorption of glass fiber‐filled foam. Thermal stability and flame retardancy were examined using thermogravimetric analysis and limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests. It was found that foam with 3% DOPU and 0.5% glass fiber added exhibited good thermal stability and high char yields. The LOI value of modified phenolic foams decreased with increasing DOPU content, but it still remained at 41.0% even if the amount of modifier loaded was 10 wt%. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry

Carbon foam derived from various precursors

A series of carbon foams was developed by using low-cost precursors, such as coal, coal tar pitch and petroleum pitch. The properties of the resultant carbon foams cover a wide range, e.g., bulk density, 0.32-0.67 g/cm³, compressive strength, 2.5-18.7 MPa, isotropic and anisotropic microstructure, etc. The investigation of foaming mechanism and the relationship between properties and structure indicate that the fluidity and dilatation of the foaming precursors significantly affect the foaming performance and foam structure. Raw coal samples were foamed directly without pretreatment in this work. However, for the pitch based foaming precursor, a thermal pretreatment is necessary to adjust its thermoplastic properties to meet the foaming requirement. The mechanical strength of carbon foam is found to be related to not only the foam cell structure, but also the fluidity and anisotropic domain size of the foaming precursors. In addition, the micro and mesopore structure in carbon foam matrix was investigated by gas adsorption and it was found that it also affects the strength of carbon foam and is related to the fluidity of foaming precursor.

Reaction injection molding of polyurethane foam for improved thermal insulation

A study on the apparent thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam was carried out. A HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon) gas and carbon dioxide were used as the physical blowing agent and ultrasonic excitation was applied to increase the rate of bubble nucleation. The thermal conductivity of the binary gas mixture was predicted theoretically to estimate the apparent thermal conductivity of the polymer foam. Effects of conduction and radiation on the apparent thermal conductivity of the cellular polyurethane were considered with respect to the cell size and the effect of convection was neglected because of the small cell size. A laboratory RIM machine was designed and built for foaming experiments. The foaming experiments were performed at various processing conditions, and density, apparent thermal conductivity, number of cells, and cell sizes were measured. Best results such as low thermal conductivity and small bubbles were obtained when the polyol was mixed with the HCFC gas and saturated with carbon dioxide at 0.3 MPa, and foamed with ultrasonic nucleation.
