Valorization of Banana Peel Waste Used as Filler in Castor Oil Polyurethane Foam for Vegetal Oil Sorption

This research describes the influence of fiber content from the banana peel waste used as a filler in castor oil polyurethane foam (PU), obtaining eco-sorbent for vegetal oil sorption. Biocomposites were prepared with banana peel waste (BP) in different content: 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.%, to improve...
