Sendo assim, verifica-se a necessidade de estudos relativos ao desempenho termof?sico/mec?nico de comp?sitos desta espuma com rejeitos do beneficiamento da scheelita e do polimento do gr?s porcelanato para fins de isola??o t?rmica. Esta pesquisa objetivou desenvolver comp?sitos de poliuretano de mamona (PURM) com cargas de rejeitos de porcelanato (PRP) e scheelita (PRS) que possam ser utilizados como isolantes t?rmicos alternativos, visando ? redu??o de custos e consumo de mat?ria-prima, al?m de contribuir com o desenvolvimento sustent?vel dessas ind?strias. No estudo utilizou-se micropart?culas PRS e PRP para o desenvolvimento e caracteriza??o de comp?sitos de PURM. Estes comp?sitos foram caracterizados termofisicamente a partir de ensaios de condutividade t?rmica, calor espec?fico, difusividade t?rmica e termogravimetria. Propriedades como massa espec?fica, resist?ncia ? compress?o e dureza tamb?m foram analisadas nos comp?sitos PURM+PRS e PURM+ PRP. As estruturas celulares destes comp?sitos de PURM foram analisadas pelas t?cnicas de MEV (Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura) com microan?lise qu?mica EDS (Espectroscopia por Energia Dispersiva de Raios X). Verificou-se que os melhores comp?sitos com propriedades isolantes foram PURM+5PRP125 e PURM+5PRP300-600 por possu?rem menor condutividade t?rmica. O mesmo ocorreu para os comp?sitos de PURM+5PRS, tamb?m para ambos os tamanhos de part?culas (125 ?m e entre 300 a 600 ?m). Entretanto, comparando a efici?ncia de isola??o t?rmica baseada nos menores valores de condutividade t?rmica e maior calor espec?fico, tem-se o comp?sito PURM+5PRP125 como o que apresentou um comportamento t?rmico mais pr?ximo ao do PURM-Puro e cuja isola??o t?rmica foi maior que a dos demais comp?sitos de PURM e tamb?m dos isolantes t?rmicos comerciais (l? de rocha, l? de vidro, EPS, etc.). / The use of a polyurethane foam from a renewable source, as the case of the foam from the castor oil and addition of waste (scheelite and porcelain stoneware) plentiful in the northeast region of Brazil, would represent a reduction of consume in limited source foam. Due to this, it is verified the necessity of studies concerning to the thermophysical/mechanical performance of this foam composites with both the scheelite processing and polishing porcelain stoneware wastes for thermal insulation purposes. This research aimed to develop composites of rigid polyurethane foam from ricin oil (PURM) with stoneware porcelain (PRP) and scheelite (PRS) waste which could be used as thermal insulation, aiming the reduction of costs and raw material consume; furthermore, to contribute with the sustainable development of these industries. In this study were used PRS and PRP microparticles for confection and characterization of PURM composites. These composites were thermophysical characterized with tests of thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity and thermogravimetry. Material properties such as density, compressive strength and hardness were also analyzed in the PURM+PRS and PURM+PRP composites. The cellular structures of these PURM composites were analyzed by MEV (Scanning Electron Microscopy) with chemical microanalysis EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy). It was verified that the best composites with insulating properties were PURM+5PRP125 and PURM+5PRP300-600 because they had a lower thermal conductivity than other PURM composites. The same occurred for the PURM+5PRS composites, also for both particle sizes (125 ?m and between 300 and 600 ?m). However, comparing the thermal insulation efficiency based on the lower values of thermal conductivity and higher specific heat, the PURM+5PRP125 composite was the one which presented the closest thermal behavior value to PURM-Pure, likewise exhibited higher thermal insulation than the other PURM composites and the commercially available thermal insulators (rock wool, glass wool, EPS, and others).
