Produção sustentável de poliuretano à base de óleo de mamona e potenciais aplicações na colagem e impermeabilização de madeiras de reflorestamento versão revisada de acordo com a resolução CoPGr 6018 de 2011
Enhancement of castor oil-based polyurethane for manufacture of glued laminated timber (glulam) of Cupressus lusitanica, Corymbia maculata and Hevea brasiliensis The aim of this study was to indentify new species for the segment of glued laminated timber (glulam) and replace traditional adhesives that emit volatile compounds, reported in literature taken as unfriendly to the environment. We characterized species Hevea brasiliensis (Rubberwood), C. maculata (Maculata) and C. lusitanica (Cupressus). We synthesized castor oil-based polyurethane without additives and solvents, used in shear strength tests. The shear strength parallel to grain was the worked variable to characterize and validate the polyurethane species. The manufacturing process of polyurethane started with the production of castor oil seeds, followed by cold extraction of oil, which was compared with commercial oil, and the process culminated with the polyurethane synthesis. The commercial oil provided better polyurethane due to its purity. There were no differences in the polyurethane application in one or two of the contact faces to be joined in the manufacture process for wood test specimens of the three species, one advantage of polyurethane is cost reduction of the glulam. The castor oil-based polyurethane produced in the laboratory outperformed the commercial resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesive in terms of wood shear strength tests for Cupressus and was similar when in Rubberwood. Rubberwood and Cupressus proved suitable for the production of glulam, surpassing Maculata in terms of mechanical quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
