ABSTRACT
Toxic dyes from industries pollute the environment and are harmful to living things. A novel
were synthesized by sol gel combustion method and then Polyurethane nanocomposite of Mg-
Ferrite was synthesized via polymerization method. XRD pattern of nanoparticles reveal the
formation of spinel cubic ferrites with improved crystallinity at high temperature. No extra peaks
for impurities were observed in XRD pattern. Particle size of MgFe 2O4 determined from XRD
data is smaller than the SEM analysis. Novel polyurethane nanocomposite is characterized by
SEM and FTIR. SEM analysis showed that PU-nanocomposite has a polymer cross linkage and
porous structure. The FTIR spectrum of polyurethane nanocomposite is divided into three
synthesized product is capable of hydrogen bonding and have multiple functional groups
polyurethane nanocomposite was evaluated by degrading Methylene blue dye and it was found
Methylene blue dye just in 6 minutes. Due to its high catalytic efficiency it can be used in
