Boron nitride (BN) is very promising particulate fillers for production of polyurethane (PUR) composites dedicated to thermally conductive materials in electronic devices. Composites containing polyurethane-based matrices filled with BN were prepared. The effect of the filler content on the mechanical (the compressive strength), physical (process parameters, the density) and thermal properties (thermal conductivity) of the final composite material were determined. Foams obtained were characterized in terms of their process parameters such as: cream time, gel time and tack-free time. The mechanical properties of the composites were improved (compressive strength increased about 40% reached at very low filler content 3 wt % of BN), and the relative increase of thermal conductivity, as compared to the matrix, was about 8%. It was concluded that BN can be used as a filler to obtain rigid PUR foams having the characteristics of thermal conductive material.

Określono wpływ zawartości cząstek azotku boru (BN) w kompozytach poliuretanowych (PUR) na ich wytrzymałość na ściskanie, gęstość oraz właściwości termiczne. Wyznaczono parametry procesowe uzyskanych pianek PUR, takie jak: czas kremowania, czas żelowania i czas suchego lica. Właściwości mechaniczne kompozytów były o ok. 40% lepsze niż osnowy PUR, przy bardzo małej zawartości napełniacza – 3% mas., a względny wzrost przewodności cieplnej wynosił około 8%. Stwierdzono, że cząstki BN można stosować jako napełniacz w celu uzyskania termoprzewodzących sztywnych pianek PUR.
The particle size distribution of woodworking residues influences the quality of the biofuels made of these materials. Hence, it is essential to investigate the fractional composition of raw materials for pellet production. Tested materials originated from ten parquet manufacturing facilities located in western Poland. The research material consisted of uncontaminated oak (Quercus spp.) wood particles. The tested material had a moisture content ranging from 8.8% to 11.4% and a density of 210.7 ± 1.79 kg/m3. A sieve analysis method segregated the tested material into four distinct size fractions (<1.0 mm, 1.0-2.5 mm, 2.5-5.0 mm, and >5 mm). The average mass shares in these fractions were 53.72 ±0.51%, 35.14 ±0.27%, 9.59 ±0.36%, and 1.55% ±0.11%, respectively. The particle size distributions of wood particles generated in all the facilities demonstrate remarkable similarity. No substantial differences were observed in terms of tilt angle and calorific value. Factors such as variations in raw material species, geographical origins, density, humidity, and technological processes appear to have minimal influence on the sieve-size distributions of the generated sawdust. All these solid wood processing residues can undergo processing into high-quality solid biofuel production.
