Waste Minimization Strategy: Flexible Polyurethane Foam Manufacture
Methylene chloride and CFCs are used as auxiliary blowing agents in the manufacture of flexible polyurethanefoams and are promptly emitted during the manufacturing processes.The concentrationof the auxiliary blowing agent are quite low due to the accepted practice of using large volumes of air to lower the ambient concentration of toxic isocyanates (a key chemical in the urethane reaction seque...
متن کاملAnisotropic polyurethane foam
Anisotropic polymer foams have been prepared, which exhibit a Poisson's ratio exceeding 1, and ratios of longitudinal to transverse stiffness exceeding 50. The foams are as much as 20 times stiffer in the longitudinal direction than the foams from which they were derived. The transformation process involved applying a uniaxial stress sufficient to produce 25% to 45% axial strain to open-cell po...
متن کاملRelease of CFC-11 from disposal of polyurethane foam waste.
The halocarbon CFC-11 has extensively been used as a blowing agent for polyurethane (PUR) insulation foams in home appliances and for residential and industrial construction. Release of CFCs is an important factor in the depletion of the ozone layer. For CFC-11 the future atmospheric concentrations will mainly depend on the continued release from PUR foams. Little is known about rates and time ...
متن کاملPolyurethane Coatings Reinforced by Halloysite Nanotubes
The pencil hardness of a two-component polyurethane coating was improved by adding halloysite nanotubes to the recipe at a weight fraction of less than 10%. The pencil hardness was around F for the unfilled coating and increased to around 2H upon filling. It was important to silanize the surface of the filler in order to achieve good coupling to the matrix. Sonicating the sample during drying a...
متن کاملPolyurethane Organosilicate Nanocomposites as Blood Compatible Coatings
Polymer clay nanocomposites (NCs) show remarkable potential in the field of drug delivery due to their enhanced barrier properties. It is hypothesised that well dispersed clay particles within the polymer matrix create a tortuous pathway for diffusing therapeutic molecules, thereby resulting in more sustained release of the drug. As coatings for medical devices, these materials can simultaneous...
