Recycling Polyurethanes through Transcarbamoylation
In this paper, we describe a new strategy to recycle polyurethanes (PUs) using base-catalyzed transcarbamoylation. PUs were depolymerized qualitatively in the presence of MeOH (methanol)/tetrahydrofuran as a solvent and tert-butoxide as a base catalyst ...
