The invention discloses recyclable and
biodegradable polyurethane foam as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
high polymer materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: initiating a cyclic ester
monomer to perform
ring opening polymerization through an initiator to obtain aliphatic polycyclic ester
polyol; the aliphatic polycyclic ester
polyol is directly used for preparing the
polyurethane foam through a chemical foaming process. The
polyurethane foam is prepared by the preparation method of the
polyurethane foam. The
recovery method of the polyurethane foam comprises the following steps: carrying out
pyrolysis recovery on the polyurethane foam; wherein the
pyrolysis recovery comprises the step of adding a
pyrolysis catalyst for
depolymerization to obtain a pure cyclic ester
monomer, and pyrolysis residues can be recovered by chemical
solvent decomposition or directly reused. According to the invention, the aliphatic polycyclic ester-based polyurethane foam which is easy to recover and degradable is prepared from the polycyclic ester
polyol, a repolymerizable
monomer with high yield and high purity can be recovered and obtained only through simple decompression pyrolysis, and in addition, the foam can be naturally degraded into a small molecular compound which is harmless to the environment in the environment.
