Abstract

This work was focused on the production and characterization of microcellular polyurethane (PU) composites reinforced with pine wood‐fibers or with hemp, which can be applied to the manufacture of car interior panels, or acoustic insulation panels for the construction industry. The polymers selected for the study were crosslinked PUs, synthesized from a castor oil‐based polyol, with the formulations adjusted to obtain different foaming levels. Microfoamed composites with preferential orientation were prepared from long hemp fibers. Also, samples with random arrangement of short hemp and wood fibers were obtained. The morphology of the composites was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical performance of the reinforced foams was studied through three point bending and dynamic mechanical tests. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007

Instrumented impact testing has been used to study castor-oil-based polyurethanes. The energy-absorbed capacity of these materials in impact is dependent on several factors, such as the type of isocyanate, NCO/OH ratio, and testing temperature. An approximate but simple method for the low-temperatur
