Polyurethane foams, are highly demanded in many applications and their use is increasing
incessantly. Besides these traditional applications, recently polyurethane foams with …

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using polymers with antibacterial and
antifungal properties; therefore, the present review is focused on the effect of natural …

In the study walnut shells (WS) and silanized walnut shells (S_WS) were used as cellulosic
fillers for novel polyurethane (PU) composite foams. The impact of 1, 2 and 5 wt% of WS and …

Among different organic fillers, the chemical composition of Syzygium aromaticum,
commonly known as cloves, has great potential as a sustainable reinforcement for polymeric …

The importance of this work is the use of waste seashells WSS (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30
wt.%) as a bio-filler to enhance the mechanical and acoustical characteristics of flexible …

In this work, rigid polyurethane (PUR) foams were prepared by incorporating 2 wt% of
eucalyptus fibers. The eucalyptus fibers were surface-modified by maleic anhydride, alkali …

Polyurethane (PUR) foams reinforced with 2 wt.% hemp shives (HS) fillers were successfully
synthesized. Three different types of HS fillers were evaluated—non-treated HS, HS …

Polyurethane (PUR) composites were modified with 2 wt.% of lavender fillers functionalized
with kaolinite (K) and hydroxyapatite (HA). The impact of lavender fillers on selected …

Rigid polyurethane (PUR) foams reinforced with 1, 2, and 5 wt.% of salvia filler (SO filler)
and montmorillonite-modified salvia filler (MMT-modified SO filler) were produced in the …

Alternatives to polymer reinforcement, adding value to agro-industrial byproducts, are
emerging to develop sustainable materials and cost-effective industrial applications. The …
