Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flexible or semi-flexible polyurethane foam comprising a polyester polyol which can be of biobased origin.
- PUs Polyurethanes
- Scheme 1 Polyurethanes
- PUs are polyvalent polymers obtained by the reaction between a polyol and a polyisocyanate (Scheme 1, a).
- Scheme 1 Polyisocyanate
- PUs are used in automobiles, furniture, construction, footwear, acoustic and thermal insulation. With global production of 18 Mt in 2016, PUs rank 6th in terms of annual global polymer production.
- Flexible foams represent the largest PU market with more than 1600 kt produced in Europe in 201 1.
- PU foams are made from polyols, polyisocyanates, blowing agents, surfactants, and various catalysts to obtain a chemically cellular material. reticle. Two types of blowing agents are used in the synthesis of PU foams: chemical blowing agents and physical blowing agents.
- Chemical blowing agents are compounds that react chemically in the foaming process to release gases.
- the water reacts with the isocyanate function to form urea and releases one mole of CO2 per mole of water (Scheme 1, b).
- Physical blowing agents are compounds having a low boiling point, there may be mentioned isopentane derivatives, which evaporate during the exothermic foaming process.
- flexible and semi-flexible PU foams are obtained from low hydroxyl polyol (OHV ⁇ 100 mg KOH / g) and high number average molecular weight (Mn) value (3000 g / mol). ⁇ Mn ⁇ 6,000 g / mol), in order to increase the flexibility and reduce the crosslinking of the material.
- Semi-flexible foams are a very important part of PU foams. They are a solution of interest to the problems of our modern societies such as noise pollution, moreover, their open-cell structure is permeable to moisture. Permeable materials are in high demand in the insulation industry to prevent moisture build-up and mold growth. These materials generally have low bulk density, low thermal conductivity and, therefore, are inexpensive materials. This means that semi-flexible sheet foams are versatile insulation materials: acoustic and thermal.
- the properties of flexible and semi-flexible PU foams come from the phase separation of the rigid and flexible domains.
- Flexible domains are extensible chains, mainly provided by the polyols, which confer the elasticity of the material.
- the hard segments are described as a rigid structure that is physically cross-linked by polyol or by using an excess of polyisocyanate.
- the excess of polyisocyanate leads to an increase in the biure bond (Scheme 1, d), allophanate bond (Scheme 1, c) or the isocyanurate bond (Scheme 1, e).
- the hard segment is also obtained from a chain extender and an isocyanate.
- Another way to improve the rigidity of the hard segments is to increase the low interchain forces in the rigid domain by introducing polar groups such as urea. The presence of urea leads to the increase of the amount of hydrogen bonds and the softening temperature.
- Sorbitol is one of those elements of interest that was cited as one of the top 12 value-added chemicals from biomass by the US Department of Energy in 2004 and more recently in a list updated by Bozell JJ et al. in 2010 (J. J. Bozell, G. R. Petersen, Technology Development for the Production of Biobased Products from Biorefinery Carbohydrates - US Department of Energy's "Top 10" revisited, Green Chem 12 (2010) 539).
- Sorbitol has a high functionality. It is a crystalline sugar alcohol bearing two primary hydroxyl groups and four secondary hydroxyl groups, which is convenient for chemical modification and its use in polyurethane chemistry. It is important to control the modification of sorbitol polyol.
- the polyol functionality, the OH number and the viscosity of the polyol have a strong impact on the formation of the PU network, the density and the morphology of the PU foam. Beyond the open or closed character of PU foam cells, the size, shape and spatial distribution of these cells also affect the physical properties of the foam. Thus, the thermal and mechanical properties of PU foams depend closely on the morphology of the foam.
- biosourced polyester polyol From a biosourced polyester polyol, the inventors have developed a novel biosourced polyurethane foam having good mechanical characteristics and in particular anisotropic mechanical characteristics according to the direction of solicitation of the foam compared to the polyether-derived PU foam obtained from a polyether polyol. petro-sourced classic.
- the inventors have established a comparative study and demonstrated correlations between the formulation of the foam, the characteristic foaming times (kinetics) and the mechanical properties of the bio-sourced PU foams.
- the invention relates to a flexible or semi-flexible foam or a composition for obtaining a flexible or semi-flexible foam comprising a polyester polyol or a polymer comprising a polyester polyol, said polyester polyol is obtained by a first polycondensation (a ) a C3 to C8 alcohol sugar Z and two identical or different C4 to C36 diacids Y and Y 'and a second polycondensation (b) of the product obtained in (a) with two identical X and X' diols or different in C2 to C12.

- flexible or semi-flexible or semi-rigid foam means a foam that returns to its initial shape (about 2-60 s) after a deformation in compression of 50%. Generally, such foams have a mixed structure composed of open and closed cells. Their properties are between those of flexible and rigid foams.
- closed cell foam is meant a foam whose honeycomb structure has walls between each cell forming a set of joined and separate cells for the imprisonment of an expansion gas.
- a foam is termed closed-cell foam when it has a maximum of 10% open cells.
- closed cell foams are mostly rigid foams.
- open cell foam is meant a foam whose honeycomb structure consists of a continuous open-cell foam matrix between the cells that does not allow the imprisonment of an expansion gas. Such a foam allows the creation of percolation paths within its alveolar matrix. Typically, open cell foams are predominantly soft or semi-rigid foams.

- the device consists of a heating element with two thermocouples to obtain the temperature on the front and rear faces.
- the device is also equipped with two sensors dedicated to the measurement of heating time and cycle time.
- the heating and cycle times are used to correct the maximum conduction heat flux, which is necessary for the calculation of the thermal conductivity coefficient, by the Fourier law, used in steady-state thermal conduction. Plates of different materials with dimensions of 300 * 400 * 3 mm 3 were used for the determination of the coefficient of thermal conductivity.
- the temperature of the foams, the heights and the rate of expansion, the density and the pressure of the foam were recorded using a FOAMAT FPM 150 (Messtechnik GmbH) equipped with cylindrical containers of 180 mm height and 150 diameter, an LR 2-40 PFT ultrasonic probe recording the height of the foam, a NiCr / Ni type K thermocouple and a FPM 150 pressure sensor.

- a petro-sourced foam (hereinafter REF) is used as a reference.
- Formulations B85-2, B85-4, B100-2 and B100-4 are biobased foams to be evaluated. The characteristics of the formulations as well as the kinetics of the foams obtained are presented in Table 2.
- the reference foam has the fastest kinetics with a cream time of 10 s, while all biosourced foams are up to 15 s.
- a 15 s cream time is an acceptable time for the formulation of such foams especially for foam panels continuously produced for the insulation of buildings.
- the out-of-the-box time is a surface indication of the formation of the PU network, but is not indicative of the end of the foaming process.
- the polymerization stage of REF ends at the surface in 66 s, the other biosourced foams have times greater than 100 s.
- the off-peak time offset indicates a lower end-of-foaming reactivity.
- the entire polyurethane network is reached at longer times than for petro-sourced foams.
- B100-2 foam is the biobased equivalent of REF and the FOAMAT measurement ( Figure 1) clearly indicates the effect of the polyol change from a petro-sourced polyether to a bio-based polyester on the foaming temperature, the speed of expansion as well as the evolution of the foam height.
- the expansion rate is five times lower than that of REF.
- a foam temperature is reached during the lower foaming step for B100-2 than for REF.
- the decrease in these two measures is indicative of a lower reactivity of the polyester (BASAB biosourced) compared with that of the polyether (petro-sourced). This lower reactivity is explained by the lower accessibility of the secondary hydroxyl groups and the lower reactivity of the terminal hydroxyl groups of the biosourced polyester compared to the reference polyether.
- the temperature curve B100-2 ( Figure 1, a) shows a delay of nearly 60 s compared to REF, corresponding to the time required for the system to reach the reaction temperature. This difference between B100-2 and REF is a direct consequence of the foaming speed. A similar profile is also observed on all the temperature curves of biosourced foams. This slower foaming rate does not represent a limit at the industrial level since it may vary depending on the catalyst used and may represent an advantage in molding processes to allow complete filling of the mold before polymerization of the foam.
- the B100-4 foam was formulated with a higher water content than the B100-2 and REF mixtures.
- B100-4 shows shorter wire and POF characteristic times of 10 s and 5 s respectively compared to B100-2 (Table 2).
- the formulation B100-4 is advantageous in that it has characteristics of foaming close to the petro-sourced reference formulation (REF). Nevertheless, the formulation B100-2 remains of interest in that it allows a sufficiently long working time and suitable for production in molding for example of foam blocks.
- compositions based on biosourced products and having a good reactivity and therefore a foam kinetics completely comparable to that of petro-hardened compositions in terms of temperature and rate of expansion can be obtained according to the invention.
- compositions comprising only BASAB (B100-2 and B100-4) as a polyol or comprising a BASAB mixture, glycerol and sorbitol in a BASAB / glycerol / sorbitol ratio of 85/10/5 (B85-2 and B85-4) have been prepared.
- compositions B85-2 and B100-2 are distinguished from each other solely by the presence or absence of these small polyols. It is the same for the compositions B85-4 and B100-4.
- the BASAB glycerol and sorbitol mixture in a 85/10/5 BASAB / glycerol / sorbitol ratio shows a clear effect on the profile of the foaming kinetics of the formula and therefore on the height. as well as the final density of the foam.
- Compositions B85-2 and B85-4 both contain a BASAB mixture, glycerol and sorbitol, the B85-4 composition being distinguished by a high water content.
- the B85-2 and B85-4 foams obtained reach a similar height with respect to the REF foam. Nevertheless, variations in expansion speed and temperature are observed.
- the reactivity of the biosourced polyester polyol differs greatly depending on the foaming temperature and can be adapted using the combined or non-combined effects of blowing agent such as water and short diols such as glycerol and / or sorbitol.
- Water is a chemical blowing agent and is the simplest way to increase the rate of expansion, but it also results in an increase in the urea bond content in the final foam. As these bonds induce a stiffness of the segments, the increase in their presence should affect the mechanical properties of the foam.
- NH groups also have a torsion signal at 1510 cm "The broad peak at 2950 cm -1 corresponds to the stretching of the CH bond present in the PU skeleton and the signal at 1595 cm -1 corresponding to stretching Ar- H phenyl groups polyisocyanate (M. Rogulska, AJ Therm Anal, Calorim 114 (2013) 903-916).
- C O stretch with hydrogen bonding at 1709 cm -1
- CO stretching at 1220 cm -1
- the two fused peaks at 1062 cm -1 and 1017 cm -1 associated with the symmetric stretching of the N-CO-O bonds and stretching of the CO bonds (BR Barrioni, Mater Sci Eng C. 52 (2015) 22-30).
- thermogravimetric analysis TGA was performed on each of the foams and made it possible to obtain ATG and DTG thermograms (see FIG. 3a). Weight loss following two-stage thermal degradation is observed for the reference composition. The first weight loss corresponds to the decomposition of the polyether urethanes and polyol, with a maximum of the DTG curve at 250 ° C. The second weight loss is attributed to cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond with a maximum on the DTG curve at 560 ° C.
- the thermal stability of the foams is influenced by several parameters depending on the raw material initially used for the formulation.
- the decomposition temperature of the urethane group is influenced by its neighborhood. It has been reported that the urethane function surrounded by two alkyls has an initial decomposition at 250 ° C, while surrounded by two aryl groups, start at 120 ° C (J. Simon, Chromatographia (1988) 99-106). This decomposition is mainly induced by the thermal reversibility of the urethane function, according to the main decomposition pathways, which are the reverse reaction, the dissociation, the formation of amines and the transcarbamoylation.
- Table 1 Morphology of PU foams Foam morphology analysis was performed by SEM analysis and coupled with an evaluation of the anisotropic ratio (R) of the foam cells.
- the SEM images presented in FIG. 4 show microstructures of foam samples in the longitudinal direction (L) and in the transverse direction (T) at the rise of the foam. Different and non-homogeneous structures with open-cell PU foams are obtained except with the reference, which has a homogeneous foam of closed cells.
- the SEM images provide the overall structure of the foams.
- B100-4 exhibits extensively elongated cells at the origin of small pipes in the material. While B100-2 corresponding to the formulation with BASAB and a lower water content, is closer to a conventional open cell structure. This difference can be easily explained by the high content of chemical swelling agent (water) in B100-4.
- a physical blowing agent has a softer expansion control by evaporation thereof in the air microbubbles incorporated during mechanical stirring of the polyol premix (NS Ramesh, et al., Polym., Eng Sci. 1994) 1685-1697), resulting in a more spongy structure.
- the foam samples from a formulation with a mixture of polyols show a cellular structure with a coefficient R less than B100-2 and B100-4.
- Their cellular structure is related to a higher crosslinking density during the formation of the PU network in the foaming process.
- the higher crosslinking density is induced by the addition of polyfunctional glycerol and sorbitol which limit gas expansion and increase the rigidity of the material.
- variable reactivity of BASAB as a function of the content of expansion agent or small polyols (C2 to C6) during the foaming process allows to adapt the alveolar structure of the foams obtained.
- the structure of the foam having an impact on its mechanical properties, the BASAB therefore allows the following formulation to obtain foams of various mechanical qualities.
- BASAB also makes it possible to obtain foams having different structural characteristics from foams comprising products that are petroleum-based in honeycombs.
- the thermal conductivity coefficients and the apparent density of all the foams studied (Table 4).
- the apparent densities of all the foams are between 23 and 41 kg / m 3 and the apparent density of the reference foam is measured at 30.7 kg / m 3 .
- B85-2 foam has an apparent density greater than 2 kg / m 3 compared to B85-4 foam samples and the B100-2 density is 16 kg / m 3 higher than B100-4 density. . This means that foams with a higher water content are more expanded, which is in good correlation with the previous observation.

- the REF foam shows the lowest value of thermal conductivity of 25 mW / m.K due to its high content of closed cells. Indeed, the level of closed cells is responsible for 60 to 65% of the thermal properties of low density foams (H. Fleurent, J. Cell Plast 31 (1995) 580-599). While surprisingly, biosourced PU foams have a thermal conductivity of between 35 and 51 mW / mK while they have a majority of open cells. Indeed, these values of thermal conductivity are equivalent to those observed for air (40mW / (m.K)) or glass wool (30 to 40 mW / (m.K)) which are very good thermal insulators.
- the polyurethanes and the polyurethane-urea have a heat capacity (Cp) within a range of 0.422 to 0.665 cal. 1 g and from 0.389 to 0.513 Jg ".K 1, respectively (Mark I, ed, Polymer data handbook, 2nd ed, Oxford University Press, Oxford. New York, 2009)" 1 ° C. "In general, low.
- the Cp values of the polymers constituting the foams are an explanation for the low thermal conductivity of the material compared with non-polymeric materials such as metal foams, and the B85-4 and B85-2 or B100-4 and B100-2 foams show thermal conductivity values closer to each other, probably because of their equivalent closed cell rate and similar cell sizes.
- the thermal conductivity of the B100-4 and B100-2 foam systems is lower than B85-4 and B85-2.
- Biosourced foams are generally open systems, so the main difference between B100-4 and B100-2 is their bulk density.
- the thermal conductivity coefficient of the B100-4 foam is lower due to its low bulk density compared to B100-2.
- B85-4 and B85-2 have the same apparent density of close closed cell levels, roughly the same cell sizes; it therefore seems natural that the two foam systems have the same coefficient of thermal conductivity.
- biosourced foams produced have characteristics of interest in terms of thermal conductivity and therefore insulating properties comparable to those of petosourced foams.
- the best results are obtained for biosourced foams with a formulation with high water content and in the absence of co-polyol.
- the biosourced foams have a small percentage of closed cells, especially compared to the petrosourced foam serving as a reference for the base of the formulations. Nevertheless, a large number of open-cell petro-hardened foams are available on the market and do not necessarily have as good thermal conductivity as BASAB-based biosourced foams.
- a Dynamic Mechanical Analysis was performed to characterize the viscoelastic properties of the foams as a function of temperature, in particular to define the typical relaxation temperatures of the polyurethane network constituting the foam.
- the evolution of the conservation module, the loss module and the loss factor (Tanô) as a function of the temperature for the reference (REF) is presented in FIG. 5-a).
- the conversion module remains higher in the glassy region, before a sudden drop in the glass transition region.
- the Tanô spectrum shows only a peak, which gives a relaxation temperature that can be associated with the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the soft segments of the foams. This temperature is about 200 ° C for the PU foam samples.
- FIG. 6 compares the mechanical properties in compression of the reference and the biosourced foam B100-2, at ambient temperature in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
- a stress exerted in the longitudinal direction it is observed that the stress increases linearly with the deformation (due to the elastic behavior of the two foams), before reaching the plastic pour point ( Figure 6a). After the plastic pour point, the stress remains almost constant due to the densification of the foam.
- Figure 6b the behavior of the foam is different ( Figure 6b). Indeed, after an elastic region to the point of plastic flow, the stress continues to increase, which corresponds to the densification of the foam. It has also been noted that the residual deformation after unloading is less than that in the longitudinal direction.
- the B100-2 biosourced foam has different mechanical properties, with a Young's modulus and a lower plastic pour point shown in Table 5.
- the Young's modulus and the plastic pour point in the longitudinal direction are respectively 8.5 and 0.31 MPa for the reference and 3 and 0.08 MPa for B100-2 (see Table 5).
- the same trends are measured in the cross direction for the B100-2 foam compared to the reference (Table 5).
- These drastic variations in properties come mainly from the morphology of the mosses.
- the closed cell content of these foams decreased from 90 to 10% between the reference and B100-2, respectively (Table 4).
- the pressurization of the gas contained in the closed cells of the reference contributes to increasing its mechanical properties with respect to the B100-2 foam (J. D'Souza, et al J. Sci Polym. 2014)).
- the B100-2 foam has a majority of open cells, small cells and a higher bulk density than other biosourced foams. In compression, the rapid densification and the good distribution of the load lead to improve the mechanical properties and more particularly the conservation modulus, the Young modulus and the plastic pour point.
- Formulation B100-4 has as swelling agent water and isopentane. After the foaming process, the high open cell content and the lower density explain the lower compression properties of the resulting B100-4 foam.
- the slight improvement in mechanical properties measured by the conservation modulus or the modulus in the transverse direction (Table 5) of B85-4 compared to the B85-2 sample is also due to the chemical structure of the two materials. Indeed, the B85-4 biosourced foam is produced with a higher water content than the B85-2 foam.
- the B85-4 foam has better mechanical properties than the B100-4 foam. This confirms that the effect of water on polymerization is more moderate between B85-4 and B85-2 foams compared to B100-4 and B100-2 foams. As a result, stress-strain curves of B85-4 formulations and B85-2 are between those of the formulations B100-4 and B100-2.
- B100-2 are shown in Figure 7, b.
- Figure 7, b shows that the stress-strain behavior is very different from that of the longitudinal direction, which shows a clear anisotropic mechanical behavior of biosourced foams.
- a careful examination of the slopes of stress-strain curves in the elastic region indicates that the Young's modulus measured in the transverse direction is 10 times lower than that in the longitudinal direction for B85-4 and B100-4. This ratio is about 14 and 6 for B85-2 and B100-2, respectively. This decrease is less pronounced for elastic stress.
- the yield stress in the transverse direction is only 3 times lower than that determined in the longitudinal direction.
- open cell PU foams have been successfully developed from sorbitol-based polyester polyol and have been studied.
- the blowing agent, polyol or mixture of polyols and co-polyol have been shown to be key parameters for the modulation of kinetics, foaming profile and properties of biosourced foams through the range of reactivity offered by BASAB.
- the use of water as a chemical blowing agent in the formulation of foams has effectively improved the characteristic times (kinetics), the expansion rate and the foaming temperature. It also significantly reduces the foam density from 41 to 25 kg / m 3 with respect to the same foams inflated with a physical expansion agent (isopentane) when only the biobased polyol is used.
- a range of PU foams with different mechanical properties was then obtained.
- the mechanical compression tests show that the mechanical properties are very different in the longitudinal and transverse direction.
- the prepared foams exhibit a significant anisotropy of their mechanical properties.
- all of the foams exhibit significant changes in Young's modulus, plastic flow point, and stress at the beginning of the densification region. These results are fully consistent with the viscoelastic properties obtained by DMA.
- the glass transition decreases when the biosourced polyol is used for the formulation, compared to the petro-sourced reference.
- the use of chemical and physical blowing agents allows variations in bulk density, closed cell count and foam microstructure.
- Biosourced PUR foams meet the requirements of a wide range of applications from furniture to acoustic and thermal insulation of buildings, as they have a low coefficient of thermal conductivity and a high rate of open cells.
- PU biosourced foams seem particularly suited to the new demand for thermal and acoustic insulation due to their high open cell content and their elastic behavior.
- the anisotropy of the mechanical properties of Such foams can also be used for filling applications of all kinds in the building in particular. Indeed foams also having a low thermal conductivity can be deformed in the longitudinal direction at the rise of the foam and then return to their original size to fill spaces present in a defective part of the initial insulation of a building.
