Moisture Absorption and Shock Cushioning Behavior of Flexible Polyurethane Foam Filled with Saw Dust

Abstract:

This paper presents the moisture absorption and shock cushioning properties of flexible polyurethane foams (PU) filled with saw dust fibers at 10, 15 and 20wt%. The compositeswere fabricated using open molded method from a two-part liquid foamsystem consisting of part-A (Isocyanate) and part-B (Polyol).The diffusion rates from the moisture absorption test is calculated using Ficks second law equation. Thesample with 10 wt% filler shows the highest diffusion ratewhile the lowest rateis sample with15wt% filler. The shock cushioning properties was determined via drop test where an 11.48-kg weight is dropped, from a height of 610 cm on the composites. The average Gvalue that represents product fragility was found to be 55.45.
