Dog Wool Microparticles/Polyurethane Composite for Thermal Insulation

Dog Wool Microparticles/Polyurethane Composite for Thermal Insulation

A polyurethane (PU)-based eco-composite foam was prepared using dog wool fibers as a filler. Fibers were acquired from pet shops and alkaline treated prior to use. The influence of their incorporation on the PU foams’ morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties was investigated. The random and...
