The preparation of polyether polyols from waste rigid polyurethane foam has been achieved by chemical degradation of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol as the degradation agent. Then, the modified rigid polyurethane foam was prepared by polyether polyols and glass fiber. To detect the characteristic of rigid polyurethane foam, the density, water absorption, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, infrared spectrum, morphology structure had been tested. Finally, the best degradation formula was explored, and the modified rigid polyurethane foam had been prepared from the recycled polyol.
The waste polyurethane rigid foam was degraded by two-component decrosslinking agent, and a qualified glass fiber reinforced waste polyurethane rigid foam is prepared by compounding the obtained oligomer polyol with a certain percent of glass fibers. The regenerated oligomer polyols were measured for infrared spectroscopy. The foam samples were analyzed for density, water absorption, and compressive strength. The results show that when the mass ratio of DEG/ETA is 1/3, the prepared composite material has the best performance.
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.
