The Mechanical Properties of Medium Density Rigid Polyurethane Biofoam

The Mechanical Properties of Medium Density Rigid Polyurethane Biofoam

This paper described the effect of empty fruit bunch (EFB) loading in the medium density rigid foam, which was prepared from the palm kernel oil based polyol. The grounded 300μm EFB fiber was used as filler and its composition were varied from 3, 6, 9 and 12 weight percent. EFB filled PU shown good...
