“…The absence of peak at 2220 cm −1 clearly confirms that there is no free -NCO groups in PU. [27][28][29] The characteristic absorption peak is observed at 1455-1459 cm −1 for C=C aromatic ring. All PU/MSC exhibits strong and narrow band at 1732-1710 cm −1 corresponding to the stretching vibration of C=O region.…”

ABSTRACT:To know the possibility of using Indian butter tree seed waste (mahua seed cake [MSC]) as a filler in the production of value-added product such as polyurethane (PU) green composites, a series of PU composites have been fabricated with varying amounts, namely, 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10 wt%, of MSC, and their effects on the physicomechanical properties such as density, surface hardness, tensile strength, tensile modulus, and percentage elongation at break have been studied. It was found that the tensile strength of the green composites increased from 5.61 to 9.5 MPa and tensile modulus increased from 4.75 to 6.07 MPa with an increase in filler content from 2.5 to 7.5 wt%. The fabricated PU/MSC composites were characterized for structural behavior by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and for morphological behaviors by scanning electron microscopy. The chemical resistance of the green composites in different chemical environments has been investigated. The thermal stability and thermal degradation behaviors of composites were performed using thermogravimetric analysis. The microcrystalline parameters such as crystallite size () and lattice strain (g, %) have been computed using wide-angle X-ray scattering data. Based on these parameters, the structure-property relationship of the PU/MSC green composites has been established. C 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The effect of incorporating 1–7% microsphere and nanoclay fillers on the physical properties of PU foams containing 15% soybean oil‐based polyol was investigated by Fan et al . Bionanocomposite hybrid PU (BHPU) foams that exploit the tribute of natural fibers and nanoclay in green PU foam from palm oil has also been developed . A novel nanocomposite of rigid PU foam was prepared by the polymerization of a sucrose‐based polyol, a glycerol‐based polyol, and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate in the presence of cellulose whiskers .…”

The present work deals with the development of polyurethane–clay nanocomposite foams by replacing part of the synthetic polyol with castor oil derivative. Hydroxylated castor oil was converted into diethanol amide by transamidation and the resulting polyol was formulated into water‐blown foams. Modified montmorillonite clay was used as nanofiller in different amounts viz. 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 5.0% by total weight of the foam formulation. Rheological measurements on the polyol–clay mixtures indicated that up to 1% clay loading there is no significant change in the viscosity with shear rate and beyond 2%, shear thinning occurred. X‐ray diffraction studies further substantiated these results. The effect of the modified clay on the density, mechanical properties such as compression strength, compression modulus, and microstructure of the foams were investigated. The filler thus added had a reinforcing effect on the foam as observed in the density and compression strength measurements. Differential scanning calorimetric studies on Tg and dynamic mechanical analyses on the modulus clearly indicated that 1% clay loading and above led to exfoliation and plasticizing effect. Exfoliated nanocomposites in compositions containing 1% clay and more yielded a much higher nucleation rate than intercalated ones leading to reduced cell size as observed by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Thus, castor oil, which is readily available, relatively inexpensive, and environmentally benign nonedible oil, has been successfully used to prepare filled semirigid foams which can find application in insulation and packing.

“…The utilization of lignocellulosic materials in making composites has received considerable attention, in recent times particularly in thermoplastic composites [5,7,8]. This has been attributed to several advantages offered by lignocelluloses fillers, such as lower density, greater deformability, less abrasiveness to equipment, biodegradability and lower cost [9,10].…”

Abstract. This paper described the effect of empty fruit bunch (EFB) loading in the medium density rigid foam, which was prepared from the palm kernel oil based polyol. The grounded 300Pm EFB fiber was used as filler and its composition were varied from 3, 6, 9 and 12 weight percent. EFB filled PU shown good dimensional stability at 70 0 C and -15 0 C due expending and shrinking percentage are less than 0.8% and 0.4% respectively. The mechanical properties were increased linearly with the EFB loading until it reached an optimum percentage of the EFB. SEM images shows the usage of big size cylindrical particle suggested that the fiber pull out will responsible for the synergistic effect of flexibility and strength of the biofoam produced.
