Flexible polyurethane (PU) foams were prepared by replacing commercial petroleum-based polyether polyol with palm oil-based polyol up to 50 wt%. Palm oil was converted to polyol by transesterification reaction with glycerol using calcium oxide as a catalyst. PU foams were then prepared from reaction between mixtures of palm oil-based polyol and petrochemical polyols with toluene diisocyanate (TDI) using water as blowing agent. The morphology and physical-mechanical properties including apparent density, indentation hardness, compressive deflection coefficient or support factor, tensile strength, and tear strength of the prepared foams were characterized and compared to those of reference foam prepared using only conventional petrochemical polyols. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the cellular structures of all the prepared foams were semi-open and the cell size decreased with higher amount of palm oil-based polyol. The apparent densities and the compressive deflection coefficient of the PU foams increased with the increasing amount of palm oil-based polyol, while the indentation hardness showed the opposite tendency. Furthermore, the obtained foam modified with palm oil-based polyol of 20 wt% were found to have the highest tensile and tear strengths.

Flexible Polyurethane

Flexible polymeric foams are used in many industrial applications, including cushioning, shock absorption, and noise suppression. There have not been many systematic studies on the characterization of their elastic response that can be used in developing their constitutive behavior. This paper presents the uniaxial tensile data of two different flexible polyurethane foams and determines the relationships between their elastic properties and the major stretch ratio. These relationships will be useful in formulating constitutive models for flexible compressible materials.

A phosphaphenanthrene groups containing soybean oil based polyol (DSBP) was synthesized by epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and 9,10-dihydro-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO). Soybean oil based polyol (HSBP) was synthesized by ESO and H2O. The chemical structure of DSBP and HSBP were characterized with FT-IR and 1H NMR. The corresponding rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) were prepared by mixing DSBP with HSBP. The results revealed apparent density and compression strength of RPUFs decreased with increasing the DSBP content. The cell structure of RPUFs was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) which displayed the cells as spherical or polyhedral. The thermal degradation and flame retardancy of RPUFs were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, limiting oxygen index (LOI), and UL 94 vertical burning test. The degradation activation energy (Ea) of first degradation stage reduced from 80.05 kJ/mol to 37.84 kJ/mol with 80 wt% DSBP. The RUPF with 80 wt% DSBP achieved UL94 V-0 rating and LOI 28.3. The results showed that the flame retardant effect was mainly in both gas phase and condensed phase.
