Mechanical and Physical Properties of Glass Wool-Rigid Polyurethane Foam Composites

This research is devoted to the preparation of foam polymer matrix composite materials by forming in place method, where the composite foam material was prepared from the rigid polyurethane foam (PU) as a matrix reinforced by glass wool insulator with weight fractions (2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%) .Seve...
