Liquefaction of Bamboo Polyhydric Alcohols and its Application in Polyurethane Foam Materials
Liquefy bamboo powder with the liquefacient of polyethylene glycol 400 and glycerin, and use the obtained liquefied product for preparing polyurethane foam materials. Results indicate that: 1) liquefaction ratio will be the highest when the proportion of PEG400 and glycerin is 80/20; 2) when the bamboo is liquefied, liquefied effect will be better if the mass ratio of bamboo powder and polyhydric alcohols is above 1: 4; 3) liquefaction ratio will be the highest when it is liquefied for 120min with 3% mass fraction of the catalyst--sulfuric acid and 170°C liquefied temperature; 4) hydroxyl value of the liquefied product of bamboo powder is 333.8mgKOH/g; 5) through the adjustment of foaming formula and technology, compressive strength of polyurethane plate with the thickness of 10mm and with the density of polyurethane foam materials of 0.4g/cm3, which is obtained from bamboo powder liquefied product is 17MPa, and the elasticity modulus is 1000MPa.
