• Polyurethane foams based on modified tung oil and reinforced with rice husk ash I: Synthesis and physical chemical characterization (2013, background): “It is known that the first stage of degradation is related to urethane bond decomposition, which takes place through dissociation to isocyanate and alcohol, followed by the thermal decomposition leading to the formation of amines, small transition components and carbon dioxide [5,32,41,42].”
• Characterization of Nanocomposites by Thermal Analysis (2012, background): “between polymeric chains and the silicate surface [34].”
• Polyurethane Foams: Past, Present, and Future (2018, background): “Reactive-type flame retardants have the advantages of (i) increasing the compatibility between polymers, (ii) not degrading the mechanical properties of the PU, (iii) possessing better compatibility, as the flame-retardant group is a part of the binder, and (iv) using small amounts or low concentrat”
