Sunflower Oil as a Renewable Resource for Polyurethane Foams: Effects of Flame-Retardants

Sunflower Oil as a Renewable Resource for Polyurethane Foams: Effects of Flame-Retardants

Currently, polyurethane (PU) manufacturers seek green alternatives for sustainable production. In this work, sunflower oil is studied as a replacement and converted to a reactive form through epoxidation and oxirane opening to produce rigid PU foams. Confirmatory tests such as Fourier-transform infr...
