The thermal degradation of short polyester fiber reinforced polyurethane composites
with and without different bonding agents has been studied by thermogravimetric
analysis . It was found that degradation of the polyurethane takes
place in two steps and that of the composites takes place in three steps. With
the incorporation of 30 phr of fiber in the matrix , the onset of degradation was
shifted from 230 to 238 ° C. The presence of bonding agents in the virgin elastomer
and the composite gave an improved thermal stability . Results of kinetic studies
showed that the degradation of polyurethane and the reinforced composites with
and without bonding agents follows first -order reaction kinetics |
