A Detailed Study Of Novel High-Performance Bromine And Phosphorus Based Reactive Flame Retardants In High-Quality Bio-Polyol Based Rigid Polyurethane Foams, Sanket Bhoyate
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Structural fire is one of the most catastrophic issues related to human safety observed from reports of National Fire Protection Association of United States in past years. Polyurethanes are one of the important structural material used as thermal insulation in housing. They are also used in automotive, construction, medical, packaging, furniture, thermal, electrical, and vibration insulation. Considering this, we have synthesized bio-based polyurethane foams using limonene-based polyol, isocyanates, and other compounds. Flame retardancy was imparted using reactive flame retardant polyols. Firstly, flame retardancy test was performed on the foams using two novel aliphatic and two novel aromatic bromine-based synthesized reactive …
