Abstract
A set of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) were prepared with the bio-polyol synthesized from the liquefaction of banana peel. The effect of the bio-polyol amount on water adsorption ability, tensile strength and elongation at break of WPU films was evaluated. The WPU prepared using 12g bio-polyol exhibited a low water adsorption ability of 5.37%, high tensile strength of 32.5 MPa, and appropriate elongation at break of 259.5%.
