The objectives
1. To assess the impact of tannin-based foam
formulation on its cure kinetics using AMFK
2. To study the influence of the content of the
catalyst, glycerol, and tannin in the foam
formulations on the kinetics

Tannin-based foams are networked structures that are obtained by polycondensation of polyflavonoid
tannins and furfuryl alcohol

Conclusions
1. It was demonstrated for the first time that the cure kinetics of tannin foams can be monitored by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and modelled using the Vyazovkin advanced isoconversional method.
2. The results show that the curing process is delayed when the proportion of glycerol or tannin in the mixture is increased. However, for the catalyst, it was observed that an optimum amount exists.
3. The optimal proportion of the components used depends on the temperature conditions.
