Abstract

Adding nano fillers is an effective way to enhance the mechanical behaviour of polymer materials. Polyurethane (PU) foams are used widely in various applications due to their low density, however, they have poor mechanical properties. In this study, modified hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in combination with Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were added to PU matrix both singly and binary to study their effect on mechanical properties. We demonstrated that even with small amount of fillers (%0.25 wt) there is an increase in tensile strength by 28% with annealed hBN.
