【 摘 要 】

Manufacturing of polymers and plastics derived from petroleum feedstocks are called synthetic products. The existing of synthetics throughout the plastic series of process is detrimental to the environment. Polyurethane is classified as a family of plastics. Vegetable oil is the potential of producing polyurethane in the presence of unsaturated chain in triglyceride, is being considered intermediates of polymers product. An effort of replacing petroleum with green resources is urgently required of its cheap price, and abundantly available. The vegetable now is not just a cooking oil but turned into various polymeric products. This research is aimed to identify the vegetable oil content in polyurethane's formula with comprehensive low production cost and potentially resulted in the best polyurethane product properties.
