In this review article, polyurethane (PU) foam materials are presented in various industrial applications. PU foams have started to replace metals and plastics in various engineering applications by combining the hardness and durability of metal with the flexibility of rubber. PU foams can be synthesized with various isocyanates, polyols, chain extenders and crosslinkers to serve many specific applications, such as bio-based composite foam, flexible hard/soft PU foam, polymer foam etc. There are different factors to change of hard and soft segments of PUs. These changes form different products, such as urethane, biurets, allophanates and isocyamurates, etc. This review article mostly concentrates on the basic chemistry of the building blocks of PUs and recent developments in industrial applications of PU foams, such as insulator material, sound insulators, refrigerator and freezing insulators, furniture, shoes, automotive materials, coatings and adhesives and other applications.

“…Flexible PU foam is available in an extremely wide range of stiffness, hardness, densities and thermo-physical and mechanical properties and has many applications such as upholstery, bedding, automobiles, footwear, apparel and medical and healthcare appliances (Kim, Yoon, Park, Kim, & Park, 2013;Luo, Wu, Lu, Yang, & Shi, 2017;Sakurai, Hashikawa, Yokoo, Terashi, & Tahara, 2007). PU foam has the unique properties of being lightweight, insulates heat and gently absorbs energy (Gnanasundaram, Durairaj, Gopalakrishna, & Das, 2013).…”

Traditional breast displacement studies included human subjects and maintaining result consistency is restricted by biomechanical limitations. This study proposes an objective approach that investigates the effects of various bra features on breast support during movement by conducting a wear trial with the VICON motion capture system. The vertical breast displacement in five different bra conditions is assessed and compared. Results indicate that the effectiveness of bras depends on the cup material used and design. The foam cups which are low in density and fabricated from soft polyurethane induces less overall breast displacement during movement. Bras of full-cup style also offer better breast movement control with significant vertical breast displacement reduction as compared with the half-cup style. These findings enhance current breast displacement analysis and understanding of bra features associated with changes in the biomechanics of breasts, thereby providing objective methods for bra evaluation and a design basis for breast protection.

“…Obviously, due to its porous structure, PUF can be used as an effective sorbent (e.g., at oil spill sites, sewage treatment, and CO 2 capture [ 19 , 24 , 25 ]). Moreover, owing to high PU biocompatibility [ 26 ], its foams have been used for certain applications in biomedicine [ 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Viscoelastic PUFs exhibit “shape memory” properties and are widely applied in bedding, furniture, shoe production, as well as aerospace and automotive industries [ 16 , 30 ].…”

Fireproof Nanocomposite Polyurethane Foams: A Review

et al. 2023

First introduced in 1954, polyurethane foams rapidly became popular because of light weight, high chemical stability, and outstanding sound and thermal insulation properties. Currently, polyurethane foam is widely applied in industrial and household products. Despite tremendous progress in the development of various formulations of versatile foams, their use is hindered due to high flammability. Fire retardant additives can be introduced into polyurethane foams to enhance their fireproof properties. Nanoscale materials employed as fire-retardant components of polyurethane foams have the potential to overcome this problem. Here, we review the recent (last 5 years) progress that has been made in polyurethane foam modification using nanomaterials to enhance its flame retardance. Different groups of nanomaterials and approaches for incorporating them into foam structures are covered. Special attention is given to the synergetic effects of nanomaterials with other flame-retardant additives.
