Abstract

AbstractThe preparation of rigid polyurethane foam with uniform pore size is extremely challenging. In this work, double‐effect baking powder was used as foaming agent, and rigid polyurethane foam with regular morphology was successfully prepared through semi‐prepolymerization. The rigid polyurethane foam apertures with regular morphology were controlled by the secondary release of CO2 when the content of baking powder is 0.30 part. Combined with theoretical calculation and experimental test, it is found that the particle size distribution, wall thickness, and hole shape are uniform, regular, thin, polygonal, and few broken holes. The compression strength, contact angle, and surface energy of the rigid polyurethane foam are 33.36 kPa, 109.6°, and 21.8 mJ/m2 after adding 0.20 part of double‐effect baking powder, respectively. By adjusting the amount of double‐acting baking powder, the porosity, mechanical properties and foam rate of the polyurethane foams could be significantly improved. Due to the molecular solvation effect, rigid polyurethane foams will deform in the water and oil due phase, but it can remain stable for a long time at room temperature without solvent. It provides a new method for the preparation of rigid polyurethane foam, which is expected to be widely used in transportation and other fields.Highlights Baking powder was firstly used as a foaming modifier for rigid polyurethane. Baking powder releases CO2 twice to ensure uniform structure of polyurethane cell. Rigid polyurethane foam has long‐term stability and regular, uniform cell holes. The porosity and mechanical properties of foams could be significantly improved. Foaming mechanism of rigid polyurethane using baking powder was firstly revealed.
