Upcycling Recycled PET into High-Performance Polyurethane Coating and Engineering Materials: Effect of NCO Index on Mechanical, Stability, and Surface Properties
Upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste into high-value polymeric materials offers a promising pathway toward circular and sustainable polymer engineering. In this work, polyurethane (PU) films were synthesized from recycled PET (rPET)-based polyols, and the influence of the isocyanate index (NCO index: 1...
