SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OF BIODEGRADABLE RAPESEED OIL-BASED POLYURETHANE & POLYURETHANE/SIO? NANOCOMPOSITE FOR BIODIESEL PURIFICATION Authors: Desai SK* And Prajapati SK
ABSTRACT
This project describes the creation of rapeseed oil-based polyurethane and its nanocomposites
utilising rapeseed oil and several isocyanates, particularly metaxylene di-isocyanate (MXD)
and isophorone di-isocyanate (IPDI). This synthesis was performed in large amounts without
the need of a catalyst by a singular reactive step. For polyurethane nanocomposites based on
Metaxylene diisocyanate, Silicon dioxide nanoparticles were used and PU-SiO2
Nanocomposites was Synthesized.The purification of the bio-diesel by Polyurethane and
polyurethane Nanocomposites also performed in the research.
