Rigid polyurethane foams with antibacterial properties modified with pine oil
Abstract
The effect of the amount of pine needle oil on the properties of rigid polyurethane (RPUF) foams was investigated. The influence of pine needle oil content on the cellular morphology, physical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of RPUF was evaluated. The addition of pine needle oil had decreased the dynamic viscosity and processing times of polyurethane (PUR) systems. It was found that the foams containing 5 wt % of pine needle oil had better mechanical properties, e.g. compressive strength, flexural strength, and impact strength. RPUF containing the highest concentration of pine needle oil, such as 15 wt %, possessed improved antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. This study confirmed that the use of pine needle oil is an effective approach to the production of RPUFs with antibacterial activity.
