Abstract


This work studied the effects of fillers on the density, compression set, Elongation at break, Tensile strength, porosity, indentation force deflection (IFD) and sag factor of flexible polyether foam samples filled with chicken bone, palm kernel shell, foam dust, calcium carbonate and Barium sulphate. The results showed that all the filled foams have higher density than the unfilled foam. The fillers also modified other properties more than the unfilled foam. The results of the physico mechanical properties of the barium sulphate were better than the results of other fillers tested.

Keywords: Physico-mechanical, flexible, polyether foam Comparative Effects, fillers
