Resumo
Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidas espumas flexíveis de poliuretano com a adição de celulose de Pinus nas concentrações de 0,5; 1 e 2% (m/m). A celulose foi submetida ao processo de fibrilação mecânica e posterior secagem por aspersão (spray dry) sendo caracterizada quanto a sua morfologia por MEV e MET. As espumas foram produzidas pelo método de batelada (one-shot) com a adição e mistura da fibra junto ao poliol. As espumas foram caracterizadas por MEV, densidade aparente e resistência à compressão. Os principais resultados indicam que a fibrilação mecânica promove a obtenção de fibras em escala nanométrica, porém durante a secagem, ocorre aglomeração ocasionando aumento para escala micrométrica. As propriedades mecânicas da espuma obtiveram acréscimos de 40 e 50% na resistência à compressão com a adição de 0,5 e 1% de celulose, respectivamente, evidenciando seu potencial como aditivo alternativo para o desenvolvimento de espumas de poliuretano.

Abstract
In this work, flexible polyurethane foams were developed with the addition of Pinus cellulose at concentrations of 0.5; 1 and 2 wt%. The cellulose was subjected to mechanical fibrillation process and subsequent dried by spray dry process. It was characterized morphologically by SEM and TEM. The foams were produced by one-shot method by adding and mixing the fiber with the polyol. The foams were characterized by SEM, apparent density and compression strength. The main results indicate that the mechanical fibrillation promotes the obtainment of nanoscale fibers, but during the drying process, agglomeration occurs causing an increase reaching the micrometer scale. The mechanical properties of the foam increased by 40 and 50% in compressive strength with the addition of 0.5% and 1% of cellulose, respectively, showing its potential as an alternative additive for the development of polyurethane foams.
