Abstract
Sodium ligninosulfonate (LS)-based polyurethane (PU) foams were prepared using three kinds of ethylene glycols, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol. Two kinds of industrial NaLS, acid-based and alkaline-based NaLS, were mixed with various ratios, and foaming reactions were controlled. Mixing, cream, and rise time were used as an index of foaming reaction. Mixing time was defined as the time interval from adding isocyanate to detection of evolved heat under stirring, cream time as the time interval from termination of stirring to starting of foaming, and rise time as the time interval from starting to completion of foaming. The above reaction time increased with increasing amount of acid base NaLS content in polyols. Apparent density, compression strength and compression modulus of PU foams linearly increased with reaction time. Thermal decomposition temperature was measured by thermogravimetry and glass transition temperature by differential scanning calorimetry. Glass transition temperature can be controlled in a temperature range from 310 to 390 K by changing the mixing rate of two kinds of LS and molecular mass of ethylene glycols. It was found that mechanical and thermal properties of PU foams are controllable through the foaming reaction rate using two kinds of industrial lignin.
