The development of viable alternatives to petroleum-based polymeric materials is a
compelling contemporary challenge attributable to environmental concerns and the effects …

Polyurethanes (PUs) are multipurpose polymers that are increasingly used in many
industrial fields. The main compounds used to synthesize PUs are still derived from …

Polyurethanes, a major class of polymers conventionally derived from petroleum products,
find applications in numerous sectors. Limited fossil resources, their extensive usage, large …

This work presents the fabrication of bio-based porous material for highly efficient removing
of oil from oil/water system. The sunflower oil-based polyol was synthesized and then used …

Three types of rapeseed oil-based polyols were used for synthesis of rigid polyurethane–
polyisocyanurate (PUR–PIR) foams with three different isocyanate indices (150, 200 and …

Rice straw serves as an alternative feedstock for yeast oil (YO) production and bio-
polyurethane (BPU) foam formation. This study optimized yeast growth and YO production …

Biobased hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) was successfully synthesized in a one-
pot reaction via metathesis degradation of industrial rubbers. Thus, polybutadiene (PB) and …

Water-based polyurethane coatings give a soft feeling for surface engineering for advanced
wear-and friction-resisted purposes. In this work, we synthesized three types of polyols from …

Topical administration can enable a more efficient therapy based on the improved
bioavailability and patient compliance. Wounds and infections can lead to modifications of …

This Review highlights the principal crops of Brazil and how their harvest waste can be used
in the chemicals and materials industries. The Review covers various plants; with grains …
