Polyurethane/natural fiber composites: a review

This paper reviews polyurethane/natural fiber composites. Polyurethane PUR is one of most versatile and useful polymers. It can be a thermoplastic (TP) and a thermoset (TS). PUR is different from other polymers. The urethane represents a small percentage in the polyurethane. The main components of P...
