Thermal insulation and mechanical properties of foamed polyurethane and hemp fibre composites
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2011, Vol 65, Issue 10
Abstract
The porous polyurethane composites with different content of hemp fibers were prepared. Rapeseed oil-based derivative with hydroxyl groups was used as a one of polyol components. Hemp fibers of different sizes were incorporated into the polyol premix. The aim of the work was to introduce renewable raw materials into the polyurethane matrix and the evaluation of their influence on selected properties of prepared composites.
