Principal component analysis of hygrothermal ageing in a castor oil-based polyurethane foam using engineered degradation descriptors

Eddie Gazo Hanna, Ahmed Saber, Khaled Younes, Pascal Casari

Short summary

A new two-parameter framework using engineered descriptors (general degradation-severity index and maximum energy-absorption efficiency) captures the main hygrothermal ageing modes in castor oil-based polyurethane foam, with temperature identified as the primary driver.
