Shear Behavior of Flexible Polyurethane Foams Under Uniaxial Compression

Andersson, Anna LU ; Lundmark, Stefan LU ; Magnusson, Anders and Maurer, Frans LU (2009) In Journal of Applied Polymer Science 111(5). p.2290-2298
Abstract
The mechanisms behind the load building capabilities of a hyperbranched polymer (HBP) in polyurethane (PU) foams have been investigated, using microscopy techniques and mechanical analyses. By broadening the traditional uniaxial compression characterization of PU foams to include combined shear deformations and compression behavior, an apparent Poisson ratio of the foam could be obtained in situ. The Poisson ratio as function of uniaxial compression ratio of the foam was thus studied for foams filled with Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) and foams containing HBP. Generally a window of deformation ratios could be defined in which the Poisson ratio was negative. The width of this window varied systematically with the SAN loading, where an... (More)
