1038079 POLYURETHANES
2008. Proceedings of a technical conference held San Antonio, Tx.,
29th Sept.-1st Oct., 2008 Around 80 technical papers were
presented at Polyurethanes 2008, organised within the following
sessions: automotive emanations and testing; automotive IPs and
processing; automotive renewables; PU based adhesives, sealants and
coatings; chemistry and fundamentals; construction applications;
environ ... (English)

1038175 WHAT
HAPPENS TO YOUR MATTRESS WHEN YOU'VE FINISHED WITH IT? The
chances are that, even in today's increasingly waste-conscious
times, a used mattress will end up in a landfill site. There its
bulk and density may well lead to the mattress floating to the top
again and again, despite being buried daily under the next influx of
rubbish. In the US and Canada, a ... (English)

1038176 DEVELOPING
RENUVA-BASED POLYOLS FOR MOULDED FOAM A Dow Chemical
presentation at the 2007 conference of the Center for the
Polyurethanes Industry discussed use of natural oil polyols (NOPs)
made using Renuva technology in moulded foam applications. This
first generation of NOPs was not designed specifically for flexible
moulded uses; it was used to ... (English)

1038198 ECO
TPU: NEW THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES A
new family of bio thermoplastic polyurethanes is presented,
providing TPU grades for injection moulding, extrusion and
adhesives. A full range of bio TPU from plant-based sources derived
from bifunctional polyols has been developed. The reaction of these
polyols in the TPU formulation results in n ... (English)

1038271 FAURECIA
BACKS TPU DESIGN AS SHOO-IN FOR NEXT-GEN SEATING French auto
supplier Faurecia thinks that the next generation of automotive
seating could eliminate PU foam. With its concept “Sustainable
Comfort Seat”, the company replaces foam inside the seat with two
sheets of injection moulded thermoplastic PU. The twin-sheet
structure is part of a seat system ... (English)

1038318 CARBON
NANOFIBRES CUT UPHOLSTERY FLAMMABILITY Researchers at NIST
have found that the addition of a small quantity of carbon
nanofibres to the PU foams used in some upholstered furniture can
reduce flammability by about 35% when compared to foam treated with
conventional fire retardant chemicals. The carbon nanofibres help
prevent the foam from ... (English)

SHOW FOR PUS Utech Europe takes place for the second time in
MECC Maastricht, the Netherlands, from 31 March to 2 April. This
article provides a preview of the show. Under its BaySystems PU
system operation, Bayer MaterialScience will showcase lightweight
components and technologies for the automotive and refrig ...

1038769 LOW-EMISSION
PU OFFERS ADDITIONAL PROCESSING BENEFITS (SHORT
ITEM) It is reported here that Dow Automotive in
Germany has introduced a new low-emissions PU which provides better
air quality in automotive passenger compartments, as well as
offering several further key advantages to car manufacturers. This
short article presents brief information about the new PU, wh ...

1038800 STUDY
ON FAILURE MODE OF ALUMINUM/PU FOAM SANDWICH PLATE UNDER BENDING
LOADS The competing collapse mechanisms for a
simply-supported sandwich beam with LY12 (hard aluminium alloy)
faces and a PU foam core subjected to three point bending were
studied. Simple analytical models were modified based on published
papers in order to predict the collapse load of the sandwich beams
... (English)

1038845 NEGATIVE
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF RESISTIVITY IN LIGHTWEIGHT CONDUCTIVE
CARBON NANOTUBE/POLYMER COMPOSITES The difficulty of
preparing a foam conductive polymer composite(CPC) material is shown
to be the result of the porous structure making it hard to form a
conductive network. Acetone-assisted dispersion was used to disperse
carbon nanotubes(CNTs) into PU foam and a lightweight conductive
CNT/assembled ... (English)
