Article Abstract
Tannin-based foams are natural-origin porous materials that offer promising alternatives to flammable synthetic foams due to their fire resistance and thermal insulation properties; however, their brittleness and relatively low mechanical resistance present challenges, necessitating improvements to these properties. This work aimed to investigate four types of tannin-based foams (ST, TT, TB, and TTB) prepared without formaldehyde, by using Anadenanthera peregrina tannins (ST) and the incorporation of polysorbate Tween 80 as a surfactant (TT), bamboo fibers as filler reinforcement (TB), and the combination of both polysorbate Tween 80 and bamboo fibers (TTB). In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments on the foam properties, mechanical and chemical characterization was performed as well as SEM microscopy. Results indicated that the bamboo fibers and polysorbate Tween 80 addition to the formulations presented a minimal impact on the foam density maintaining values around 1383 ± 0,05 g·cm, and an average porosity of 87 %. Meanwhile, their incorporation led to a slightly improved compressive strength (0,12-0,19 MPa) and all the foams produced showed fireproofing and self-extinguishing behavior, demonstrating the potential of A. peregrina tannin-based foams for sustainable applications.

Tannin-furanic foams with excellent properties have attracted increasing interest due to their advantages such as easy preparation, light weight, and thermal insulation. However, unsatisfactory mechanical strength has limited the expansion of their applications. Herein, three different metal ions (Cu, Fe, and Zn) were chosen to enhance the properties of tannin-furanic foam prepared by mechanical stirring provoked a foaming approach.

Tannin-based foams have gained attention as a potential bio-based alternative to conventional synthetic foams. Traditionally, namely condensed tannins (CT) have been used, leaving the potential of hydrolysable tannins (HT) largely unexplored. This study compared the performance of chestnut (HT) and quebracho (CT) in tannin-protein-based foams at different tannin ratios.

A two-dimensional volume of fluid (VOF) model was developed to simulate the deformation of the bubble, the end speed of bubble rise, the distance of bubble rise and the movement trajectory in different initial conditions of tannin-based foaming precursor resin. In this study, bubble rising and coalescence characteristics are connected with parameters of the resin, especially viscosity, surface tension, the initial radius and location of the bubble also matter. The result shows that rising velocity of the bubble decreased as the viscosity increased, and at the same time, the flow rate of the bubble was lower.

Non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) as a new type of polyurethane material has become a hot research topic in the polyurethane industry due to its no utilization of toxic isocyanates during the synthesis process. And the developing on recyclable biomass materials has also much attention in the industrial sector, hence the preparation and application of bio-based NIPU has also become a very meaningful study work. So, in this paper, tannin as a biomass material was used to synthesize tannin based non-isocyanate polyurethanes (TNIPU) resin, and then successfully prepared a self-blowing TNIPU foam at room temperature by using formic acid as initiator and glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent.
