Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polycarbonate (PC) reacted with glycerol produce polyol precursors for polyurethanes. Polyurethanes were synthesized from PET and PC depolymerized in glycerol reacted with 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) in ratios of 0.8 and 1.0 using water as a blowing agent at 0%, 1% and 2%. The hydroxyl content was 287 ± 10 mgKOH/g for the polyol from PET (PET-OL) and 520.99 ± 11.62 mgKOH/g for the polyol from PC (PC-OL). The FTIR spectra of the synthesized PUs showed the typical PU bands (1730 cm-1) and those synthesized from PC-OL showed remnant MDI seen by the band at 2270 cm-1. They had apparent densities of less than 0.6 g/cm3, typical of thermal insulators. The density decreased as the water content increased, as did the NCO/OH ratio. In addition, the materials synthesized with PET-OL are denser than those synthesized with PC-OL. The optical microscopy images of the PU topographies indicate homogeneous materials containing more closed cells than open ones. PU’s made with PC-OL absorb more water than those made with PET-OL.
