Abstract:Novel fillers from sago starch and esterified sago starch were employed as natural fillers for rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs). Sago starch was esterified by maleic anhydride, resulting in the presence of ester groups on the starch structure. Filled RPUFs were prepared with 0.5-7.0 wt% of starch fillers in the polyol component. The influence of filler type and content on the cell morphology and properties of the RPUFs was analyzed. The results revealed that the esterified sago starch showed better compatibili… Show more
