The obtained polymer composite materials (PCM) are examined the technological parameters of the foaming (start time, rise time, and apparent density), the physical-mechanical properties (the compressive stress, compression set, resilience), and the cross-link density. The results present that the chitin-containing PCM with a filler ratio of 10% has no significant difference in the technological parameters of the foaming and the physical-mechanical properties. However, the physical-mechanical properties of elastic polyurethane foam (PUF)-chitin materials tend to change less than the semi-rigid PCMs. Furthermore, the cross-link density of obtained PCMs is increased compared with the blank PUFs due to an increase in the number of bonds between components in the polymer chain. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the PCM with the filling has a larger pore size and a number of closed cells, and the pore's surface is rougher than the blank PUF. Waste-containing PCMs are developed to reduce the amount of solid waste in the environment. As a result, these PCMs became denser and stronger while reducing their elasticity and becoming heavier. Thus, the process of synthesis of chitin-containing PCM, using and recycling waste PCM, is circular. Keywords. Polyurethane foam (PUF), chitin, cross-link density, compressive stress, compression set, resilience. 1. INTRODUCTION transportation industries, artificial hearts, pacemaker and hemodialysis tubes, coatings, adhesives, In recent years, polyurethane foam (PUF) has been sealants, binders, as an adsorbent in wastewater known for its many preeminent properties: low treatment, etc.[3-11] The high applicability of this density, high thermal and sound insulation material has led to an increasing demand for them. properties, high strength, good physical-mechanical According to Fortune Business Insights' statistical properties, highly recyclable and reusable, etc.[1,2] report on the global polyurethane market size, the These unique properties of PUF have led to a wide global polyurethane foam market reached 60.5 range of applications for this material. PUF is billion USD in 2017; 114.8 billion USD in 2019, and applied in many different fields, such as making is expected to reach 157.63 billion USD in 2026.[12] furniture in the aerospace industry, making home The rapid increase in demand for PUF requires the furniture, laptop screen protectors, outer cases for supply of many raw materials for synthesis. As is mobile electronic devices, wheelchairs, power tools, known, the two main components for PUF synthesis sporting goods, drive belts, shoes, inflatable rafts, are isocyanate and polyol, which are obtained from and various extruded films and sheets, cushioning petroleum.

In addition, the cost of polyol and In this work, to suggest other applications for isocyanate components derived from petroleum is chitin-grafted-PUF materials, in addition to relatively high. To solve the above problems, the investigating the technological parameters in the current trend of the PUF industry is to use natural foaming, the physical-mechanical properties such as fillers to reduce costs and limit the use of petroleum- compressive stress, compression set, and resilience based raw materials.[1,9] are also evaluated. Besides, the cross-link density of With this trend, chitin has been used as a composition also is studied. Furthermore, the naturally derived filler.

The material filled with 10 and physical-mechanical properties. Specifically, the 20% mass has a lower apparent density than the lower the cross-link density between the nodes, the blank PUF, while the PCM with 50% mass of the higher the physical-mechanical properties of the filling has a higher apparent density (Table 1). It is material.[29] related to the shrinkage of PCM after curing. It is Obviously, for semi-rigid and elastic PCM, the observed that the higher the filling ratio, the less swelling ratio of materials is lower than the blank shrinkage.[10] For the blank SPUF, the obtained PUF. Contrarily, the cross-linking density of the material shrinks after curing. Meanwhile, the PCM based on PUF and chitin increases (Table 2). It materials adding 10 and 20% by mass of chitin have has been shown that more bonds are formed in less shrinkage after curing and better foaming than obtained chitin-grafted-PUF compared to the blank the original sample. Therefore, the apparent PUF.[30] The results in Table 2 also present that the densities of the SPUF10 and SPUF20 are lower than greater the chitin filling ratio in the obtained that of the pure sample. Filling up to 50% by volume material for elastic PCM, the lower the swelling increases the hard component in the polymer matrix, ratio decreases and the higher the cross-link density. so the material becomes “dense”. Therefore, the Table 2 also shows that increasing the degree of sample SPUF50 has a much higher apparent density filling in the elastic PCM reduces the average than the samples of the same type.

Therefore, with a compressive load, between urethane and urea groups, there are also chitin flakes and some partitions in PCM are not hydrogen bonds between chitin and the above resistant to deformation and collapse.[29] functional groups. Consequently, there is a greater increase in hard segments in PCM. Furthermore, it increases the chemical cross-linking density of PCM materials compared with PUF without filler. As a result, the physical-mechanical properties of the formed PCM are changed. 3.3. The effect of the filler ratio on physical- mechanical properties To evaluate and select appropriate applications for (a) The compressive stress materials, it is necessary to investigate and study parameters such as compressive stress, compression set, and resilience. The results (figure 1) are presented that increasing the filler ratio increases the compressive stress and the compression set of the obtained PCM, but their resilience is still preserved. However, the compressive stress and compression set of the elastic chitin-grafted-PUF tends to increase less than semi-rigid PCMs. An (b) The compression set increase in the compression set is a negative factor because it reduces the ability of the material to recover size after applying a compressive load. At the same time, the resilience of obtained PCM is relatively high. When using PCM as an adsorbent, these values are consistent. Especially in the case of oil adsorption, the physical-mechanical properties of PCM EPUF10 are appropriate when the material is regenerated for reuse. Differences in the compressive stress of the obtained PCM and the original PUF are associated (c) The resilience with forming bonds between the hydroxyl group in Figure 1: The physical-mechanical properties of chitin and the isocyanate group in component B. The chitin-grafted-PUF materials increase in the cross-link density of the chemical network corresponds to the increase in the rigidity of Based on the above analysis of the properties of the polymer chain, leading to the decrease in the the obtained PCMs, it is found that the 10% chitin- resilience of the obtaining PCMs chitin-grafted- containing PCM has superior properties over the PUF. remaining filler ratios for both elastic and semi-rigid The results in Figure 1 also present for both materials. Furthermore, the data presented no types of PCM, values of the compression set of the significant difference in technological parameters formed PCM are higher than when compared to the and the physical-mechanical properties of the elastic material without filler. It can be explained due to the PCM with a 10% mass of chitin and the original interaction of hydroxyl and methylol groups with PUF.
