Synthesis of palm oil based polyol via glycerolysis and transamidation reactions for polyurethane foam production
Renewable sources like vegetable oil have been used to prepare many polymeric resins due to the awareness on environmental issue and depletion on petrochemical sources. In polyurethane (PU) production, petroleum-based polyols such as polypropylene glycol (PPG) have been replaced with plant-based pol...
