Abstract
AbstractThe purpose of this study was the identification of qualitative and quantitative changes in the visual appearance, chemical structure, morphology and selected physicochemical and mechanical properties of the closed cell rigid PU foam while heated in air and seawater for predicting its performance and durability. Specimens were aged at constant temperatures of 40 and 80 °C for a period of 10 weeks. Aging caused a yellowing of the samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that foam pores lost their regularity. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) increased on average by 15 and 80%, respectively for samples heated at 40 and 80 °C. Water absorption (WS) also increased over time, respectively, by a maximum of 15 and 25%. The flexural strength (σflex) and compressive (σcomp) strength showed a decreasing tendency, whereas for tensile strength (σtens), an increase was observed. The starting material was characterized by the σflex, σtens and σcomp of: 436, 413 and 284 kPa, respectively. The lowest determined σflex value was of 345 kPa, and σcomp value was of 158 kPa. The highest determined σtens equaled to 608 kPa, respectively. The changes in flexural modulus were statistically insignificant and its average value was of 4.0 MPa.
