“…Renewable resources can constitute an attractive alternative to conventional petrochemical resources [1][2][3]. Thus, recent work on resins derived from natural products has led to the development of rigid foams based on polyflavonoid tannins-furfuryl alcohol copolymerization, giving foams of excellent performance and characteristics [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Recently, increasing interest has been shown for these tannin-derived materials by foam manufacturing polyurethane companies because of their fire resistance and environmental-friendliness [6][7][8]11,12]. However, the tannin-furanic foams described cannot be manufactured in their usual continuous lines, simply because the plants available are exclusively designed for polyurethane rather than phenolic foam production.…”

Mixed phenolic-polyurethane-type rigid foams were developed using tannin-furfuryl alcohol natural materials co-reacted with polymeric isocyanate in the proportions imposed by the limitations inherent to continuous industrial plants for polyurethane foams. A variety of different copolymerization oligomers formed. Urethanes appeared to have been formed with two flavonoid tannin sites, mainly at the flavonoid hydroxyl group at C3, but also, although less, on the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the flavonoid oligomers. Urethanes are also formed with (i) glyoxal in the formulation, be it pre-reacted or not with the tannin; (ii) with phenolsulfonic acid and (iii) with furfural. This latter one, however, greatly favors reaction with the A-ring of the flavonoids through OPEN ACCESSPolymers 2014, 6 2986 a methylene bridge rather than reaction with the isocyanate groups to form urethanes. All of the materials appeared to have co-reacted in a manner to form urethane and methylene bridges between all of the main components used. Thus, the tannin, the furfuryl alcohol, the isocyanate, the glyoxal and even the phenol sulfonic acid hardener formed a number of mixed species linked by the two bridge types. Several mixed species comprised of 2, 3 and even 4 co-reacted different components have been observed.

“…Afterwards, major advances were achieved first with tannin-furanic foams without formaldehyde (Basso et al 2011) or modification with small amounts of polyisocyanate (Li et al 2012a), second with foams using a safer blowing agent, namely pentane, and even with no blowing agent at all (Basso et al 2013a;Li et al 2013b), third with foams using alternative non-toxic, nonvolatile aldehydes , and finally using the much more reactive and difficult to handle procyanidin-type tannins such as for example pine and spruce bark tannins (Cop et al 2014;Lacoste et al 2013Lacoste et al , 2014. Even simplified foams in which the tannin was substituted with fine wood powder were tried (Srivastava and Pizzi 2014).…”

& Key message Green chemistry for and from wood has developed numerous industrial products, namely biosourced, green wood adhesives and preservatives, foams, composite matrices, laminates, hard and flexible plastics, flexible films, and abrasive grinding discs, and their number is still growing. & Introduction This review addresses (1) the elimination of toxic aldehydes from the most common wood panel adhesive, the one based on urea, itself a natural product, (2) biosourced adhesives derived from wood or other vegetable matter and used for wood products, and (3) wood and bark tannin-based foams, natural fiber composites using tannin matrices, paper surface laminates and continuous high-pressure paper laminates using tannin-furanics, hard plastics based on tanninfuranic materials and some of their applications, flexible biosourced tannin-furanic films, and biosourced wood preservatives.

“…Polyflavonoid tannin-furanic rigid foams have been developed and tested for a number of different applications (Basso et al 2013a;Tondi et al 2008Tondi et al , 2009a.

Dynamic Monitoring of Tannin-based Foam Preparation: Effects of Surfactant

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Three tannin-based foam formulations differing in the type of surfactant added were tested during foaming via simultaneous monitoring of the variation in temperature, foam rising rate, internal foam pressure, and dielectric polarization, the latter being a direct measure of the setting and curing of a thermosetting foam. This monitoring is an effective descriptor of the process and possible characteristics of the foam being prepared and constitutes an invaluable tool for foam formulation. The addition of a surfactant was shown to have a major effect on foam dynamics by retarding the onset of cross-linking to a lesser or greater extent in relation to the peak of maximum temperature in self-blowing foams. Cationic surfactants, or non-ionic surfactants capable of transforming into cationic species under the acidic environmental conditions used for tannin-based foams, were found to retard cross-linking more markedly than did non-ionic surfactants.
