Abstract:

The use of chicken bone powder as filler in flexible polyether foam has been studied. Foam recipes were incorporated with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% chicken bone powder and the foam samples formed were analyzed; the results obtained were compared with 10% CaCO3 as used in foam industries. The physico-mechanical properties of the foam samples produced were enhanced, 10% of the chicken bone as filler is comparable with 10% CaCO3. Analysis of the bone gave the following cations in descending order of concentration Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, Zn2+, Mn2+ and Cu2+ while the concentration of CO32- was higher than PO43-.
