Vegetable oils (VO) constitute the single, largest, easily available, low cost, non-toxic, non-
depletable, biodegradable family yielding materials that are capable of competing with fossil …

Polyurethanes are among the most versatile polymers because of the wide range of
monomers, particularly diols or polyols, that can be utilized in their synthesis. This Review …

Vegetable oils offer a reliable chemical platform to synthesize polyols for polyurethane
production to replace fully or partially polyurethane precursors that are derived from …

Novel biobased NonIsocyanate PolyUrethanes (NIPUs) were synthesized from dimer-based
diamines and sebacic biscyclocarbonate in bulk, and without catalyst. All synthesized NIPUs …

This paper presents a study on the effect of NCO/OH ratio and an increase in hydroxyl
content of acrylic polyols on the properties of polyurethane (PU) coatings. Coating properties …

The asphalt industry has been increasingly concerned with solutions to develop new binder
materials from sustainable resources that meet environmental and technical criteria. In this …

Undoubtedly the applications of polymers are rapidly evolving. Technology is continually
changing and quickly advancing as polymers are needed to solve a variety of day-to-day …

This review describes the preparation of nonedible vegetable oil (NEVO)-based polyols and
their application in anticorrosive and antimicrobial polyurethane (PU) coatings. PUs are a …

Castor oil (CO) and dehydrated castor oil (DCO) were used for the synthesis of new alkyd-
urethane resins via a two-stage process: synthesis of the alkyd resin flowed by …

Rapeseed oil based water blown rigid polyurethane foam was prepared by two shot method.
Water was used as a blowing agent on purpose to increase the green nature of the foams. In …
