In this study, a series of biobased polyols were prepared from olive, canola, grape seed, linseed, and castor oil using novel, solvent/catalyst-free synthetic method. The triglyceride oils first oxidized into epoxidized vegetable with formic acid hydrogen peroxide, followed by ring-opening reaction fatty acid. molecular structures the resulting polyurethane characterized. effects cross-linking density on thermal, mechanical, shape memory properties polyurethanes also investigated.

Abstract Materials with multifunctionality or multiresponsiveness, especially polymers derived from green, renewable precursors, have recently attracted significant attention resulting their technological impact. Nowadays, vegetable‐oil‐based waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) are widely used in various fields, while strategies for simultaneous realization of self‐healing, reprocessing, shape memory as well high mechanical properties still highly anticipated. We report development a...

Biopolymer/silica nanocomposite aerogels are highly attractive as thermally insulating materials for prevailing energy-saving engineering but usually plagued by their lack of mechanical strength and environmental stability. Lignin is an appealing plant phenolic biopolymer due to its natural abundance, high stiffness, water repellency, thermostability. However, integrating lignin silica into high-performance 3D hybrid remains a substantial challenge the unstable co-sol process. In diatoms,...

Bio-based polyols from epoxidized soybean oil and castor fatty acid were developed using an environmentally friendly, solvent-free/catalyst-free method. The effects of the molar ratios carboxyl to epoxy groups, reaction time, temperature on polyols’ structures systematically studied. Subsequently, polyurethane films prepared these green polyols. Properties new, soy-castor based compared with two other methoxylated polyol, respectively. Thermal mechanical tests showed that new exhibited...

The Hansen solubility parameters of a soy-castor oil-based polyol and petroleum-based are investigated to evaluate their miscibility for polyurethane blends. two polyols were found be miscible at different ratios over temperature range from 25 90 °C. Blends with these used prepare foams. With increasing levels bio-based content, the density open cell foams increased. thermal stability improved, conductivity increased, bio-content, while foam's compression strength decreased. This study...
