On Mechanical Behavior of Pine Nut Shell and Polyurethane Derived from Castor Oil Green Composite

Natural fibres reinforced polymeric composites are examples of green composites. Commodities polymers derived from fossil sources have volatile organic compounds in their compositions. Polyurethane derived from castor oil is produced from renewable sources, it has no volatile organic compounds in its composition and presents biodegradability. This study aims to evaluate physical-, mechanical- and thermal properties of composites of Araucaria...
