| Summary: | The research is focused to study the properties of polyurethane foam reinforced with different types and content of waste paper. The comparison of the effects of three types of waste paper, such as paper sludge (PS), old newspaper (ONP) and office white paper (OWP) on physical, mechanical, thermal, biodegradable properties and morphology of PU foam was studied. The result show ONP foam significantly highest value of compressive strength,compressive modulus and hardness compared than PS and OWP foam composites. The increasing filler loading improved the mechanical properties but reduced the density of foam. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study indicated that the addition of waste paper in polyurethane foam reduced the open cell structure of foam. |
