Abstract In this study, steam exploded peanut shell fibers (SE-PSFs) were utilized to fabricate with rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) in order to improve sound absorption performance and hydrothermal weather resistance. Optimized method of SE treatment, RPUF preparation and flame retardant treatment were selected to prepare SE-PSF/RPUF composites in this experiment. Physical and mechanical properties including density, water absorption capacity, thickness swelling rate, compressive strength, thermal conductivity and average sound absorption coefficient of SE-PSF/RPUF were investigated and compared with the control (PRUF). The results showed that the density, water absorption capacity, thickness swelling rate and thermal conductivity More >
