Basalt powder as reinforcement material in polyurethane foams with reduced flammability and self-extinguish properties

Composite polyurethane (PU) foams were effectively synthesized by the mass polymerization method with concentrations of natural basalt powder from 0 to 100 wt%. By increasing basalt's content, the foams had more considerable growth, suggesting a catalyst effect of its inherent metallic compound...
