Bio-Based Polyurethane Foams for Heat-Insulating Applications
Abstract In this chapter, the sustainable development of rigid polyurethane foams for heat-insulating applications is described. Firstly, the most important aspects as the use of bio-based and environmentally friendly components in the formulations of polyurethane systems as well as requirements for heat insulating of buildings are presented. Next, the complex mechanism of heat transport in porous materials is discussed including the influence of cell structure on the thermal conductivity of final rigid polyurethane foams. In the two last parts of this chapter, the most important components used in various methods of polyurethane foam synthesis are described. Moreover, the effects of bio-components and foaming conditions on the cell structure and physical mechanical properties of rigid polyurethane foams are discussed.
