Polyurethane Foam(PUF), a outstanding thermal insulation material, is used for various structures as being composed with other materials. These days, PUF composed with glass fiber, Reinforced PUF(R-PUF), is used for a insulation system of LNG Carrier and performs function of not only the thermal insulation but also a structural member for compressive loads like a sloshing load. As PUF is a porous material made by mixing and foaming, mechanical properties depend on volume fraction of voids which is a dominant parameter on density. Thus, In this study, density is considered as the effect parameter on mechanical properties of Polyurethane Foam, and mechanical behavior for compression of the material is described by using modified Gurson damage model.

본 연구는 폴리우레탄 콘크리트 패널의 바닥재로서의 이용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 수행되었다. 따라서 각종 요구되는 성능에 부합되는 배합을 달리한 폴리우레탄 콘크리트를 제작하여 각종 물성 실험을 실시하였다. 또한 폴리우레탄 콘크리트 패널을 제작하여 직접 현장에서의 시공한 수 바닥충격음 실험을 실시, 그 효과를 평가하였다. 실험결과, 폴리우레탄 콘크리트의 성능과 코스트의 밸런스가 적절하게 확보된 최적배합비를 도출할 수 있었으며, 특히 기존 바닥구조에 비해 공동주택의 층간소음을 어느 정도 줄일 수 있고 동시에 시공공정의 단축과 단열효과로 보다 더 우수한 바닥난방구조를 제안할 수 있다.

The aim of this study is to understand the effect of structure on the dispersion of both CNT and GNF in the phase of synthesized polyurethanes matrix. Various CNT/PU and GNF/PU composite films were prepared. Polyurethane having a different hard segment was blended with both CNT and GNF. PU having HDI as hard segment showed good dispersion with both CNT and GNF because of their linear structural character and molecular kinesis while PU having aromatic ring showed poor dispersion with those due to their structural complexity. Structural effect also induced the increase of its electro conductivity. The PU/CNT composite showed a bad dispersion (because of phase separation between PU matrix and CNT) but good electro conductivity at its surface (because CNT was collected on the surface of composite film due to low density of CNT). PU/CNT and PU/GNF composite films have quite low normalized sheet resistance value compared with silver/PU nanocomposite film because the fiber type filler could have much more contact points than that of sphere shaped silver particles have.

Polyurethane multi-layer and foam multi-layer were prepared with PU1000 and PU2000 made by poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) having the molecular weight of 1000 and 2000 g/mol, respectively. The damping and transmission loss of these materials were compared with PU1000 used as a reference. The damping peak of polyurethane multi-layer was shifted to the lower temperature compared with PU1000, while the damping peak of polyurethane foam multi-layer was shifted to the higher temperature and broaden. In terms of noise reduction, the transmission loss of polyurethane multi-layer was effective at the specific frequency range such as less than 100 Hz and around 600 Hz compared with PU1000. The transmission loss of polyurethane foam multi-layer was most effective in the whole experimental frequency range.

Recently, polyurethane foam has been used in various industry fields to preserve temperature environment of structures, and a wide range of loads from the static to the dynamic are imposed on the material during a life period. The biggest characteristic of polyurethane foam is porosity as being polymeric material, and it is generally known that insulation performance of the material strongly depends on internal void size. In addition, polyurethane foam's mechanical behavior has high dependence on strain rate and temperature as well as being highly non-linear ductile for compression. In the non-linear compressive behavior, volume fraction of voids and elastic modulus decrease as strain increases. Therefore, in this study, temperature-dependent viscoplastic-damage constitutive model was developed to describe the non-linear compressive behavior with the aforementioned features of polyurethane foam.

In order to assess its capability as biofilter bed material under variable conditions of two parameters (inlet gas concentration and inlet gas flow rate), reticulated polyurethan was applied to remove hydrogen sulfide via a biological process. We detected a maximal elimination capacity (critical loading rate) of $488.3(330.1)g-H_2S/m^3{\cdot}hr$, when reticulated polyurethane was employed as supporting material of biofilter. This study show that the application of reticulated polyurethane carrier might be a favorable choice as a packing material in biofilter for the biological removal of hydrogen sulfide.

Eco-friendly polyurethane can be defined as a highly utilized material used in various fields. The various structural properties of the synthesis of isocyanates and polyols provide versatility and customization for use in the manufacturing field. The characteristics of polyurethane vary widely from soft touch coatings to hard building materials like rocks. These mechanical, chemical and biological properties and ease of alignment are drawing tremendous attention not only in the field of research but also in related industries. In order to improve the performance of water-dispersible polyurethane materials, it can be derived through processes such as adjusting the blending of raw materials and adding additives and nanomaterials. This study highlights the basic chemical structure of eco-friendly water-dispersible polyurethane in the fields of medical science, automobiles, coatings, adhesives, paints, textiles, marine industries, wood composite materials, and clothing.

Among the seismic structures for reducing earthquake damage, the seismic control structure is a technology that can efficiently improve seismic performance and secure economic feasibility by simply applying a damper. However, existing dampers have limitations in terms of durability due to required seismic performance and material plasticity. In this study, we proposed a polyurethane damper with enhanced recovery characteristics by applying precompression to polyurethane, which basically shows elastic characteristics, and applying superelastic shape memory alloy (SSMA). To verify the characteristics of the polyurethane damper, the concept was first established, and the design details were completed by selecting SSMA and steel, and selecting the precompression size as design variables. In addition, structural tests were conducted to derive response behavior and analyze force resistance performance, residual displacement, recovery rate, and energy dissipation capacity. As a result of the analysis, the polyurethane damper showed that various performances improved when the SSMA wire was applied and the precompression increased.
