The duration is also dependent on the particular material being treated. The resulting material is then used as a starter for reconstructing a new polymer network, which is accomplished via precuring and then post-curing. This converts the material into a double-network material that can be used as a 3D printing resin. It can also be fragmented chemically in the same way as the original foam.The research team claims that their process could be used to reduce the environmental impact of polyurethane foams and also to bring down the cost of the original materials, in addition to serving as base material for printing 3D objects. They also suggest that their method could be adapted for use with other materials, such as polyesters and epoxies.Journal reference: Zenghe Liu et al, Chemical upcycling of commodity thermoset polyurethane foams towards high-performance 3D photo-printing resins, Nature Chemistry (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01308-9Polyurethane (PUR) is an indispensable plastic material used in mattresses, insulation in refrigerators and buildings, shoes, cars, airplanes, wind turbine blades, cables, and much more. It could be called a wonder material if it weren't also an environmental and climate burden. Most of the PUR products discarded worldwide end up being incinerated or dumped in landfills.This is problematic because the main components of the material are primarily extracted from fossil oil. And we're talking about significant quantities. In 2022, the global market for PUR reached almost 26 million tons, and a forecast for 2030 predicts nearly 31.3 million tons, with about 60% being foam in various forms.However, there is a small but growing industry that chemically breaks down (depolymerizes) PUR into its original main components, polyol and isocyanate, with the aim of reusing them as raw materials in new PUR products.Bilimsel / ScientificPoli%u00fcretan%u0131 geri d%u00f6n%u00fc%u015ft%u00fcrmenin yeni bir yoluA new way to recycle polyurethaneKaynak / Source: https://phys.org/news/2023-09-polyurethane-foams-3d-resins.html
