Abstract

In the past few decades, governments and international agencies have been placing more emphasis on the improvement of production technique, working conditions and reduction of the toxic emission to the atmosphere. In this context aqueous polyurethane dispersion was synthesized from depolymerised polyethylene terphthalate (PET) waste. 1,4-Butanediol was used in PET depolymerisation. Polyurethane dispersion films were characterized using differential scanning calorimeter, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeable chromatography, etc. Incorporation of PET waste in polyurethane dispersion was an added advantage in waste management and produced better quality polyurethane dispersion.
