Abstract:There is a great interest in replacing conventional fossil-based polymers and composites with inorganic or organic waste-based materials and filler-type additives, to promote environmental sustainability and circularity. The main objective of this study was the design of water-blown polyurethane rigid foams integrating two by-products derived from the Amyris fermentation process of production of β-farnesene. The distillation residue (FDR) was used as main polyol component in the neat formulation of the foams (… Show more
