Effect of different organosolv treatments on the structure and properties of olive tree pruning lignin
(Elsevier, 2014-05-25)
Different organosolv processes (acetosolv, formosolv and acetosolv/formosolv) were applied to extract lignin from olive tree pruning. Obtained lignins were characterized by several methods to determine their composition, ...
Flexible polyurethane foams based on 100% renewably sourced polyols
(Elsevier, 2014-10-5)
Since polyol is one of the major components in polyurethane foam synthesis, introducing renewably
sourced polyols in the foam formulation leads to materials with high renewable carbon content. A series of
flexible ...
Properties of flexible polyurethane foams with isocyanate functionalized lignin
(Elsevier, 2017-02-20)
A commercial kraft lignin (k-lignin) was successfully functionalized by means of the reaction of an isocyanate group from isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) with hydroxyl groups present in lignin (k-IPDI), for their further ...
Thermally-responsive biopolyurethanes from a biobased diisocyanate
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
In this work, segmented biopolyurethanes with thermally-activated shape-memory properties were synthesized and characterized. All the employed starting materials were derived from renewable sources. The macrodiol, which ...
Thermoplastic polyurethanes with glycolysate intermediates from polyurethane waste recycling.
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
The polyol is a major component in polyurethane formulations and therefore introducing to the formulation recycled polyol (obtained during decomposition process) allows decreasing the usage of pure petrochemical components. ...
Two different incorporation routes of cellulose nanocrystals in waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The renewability, availability and low-cost of eco-friendly cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), have gaining attention for nanocomposites preparation due to their unique properties in the nanoscale and their water dispersibility, ...
Shape-memory properties of crosslinked biobased polyurethanes
(2016-03-25)
Biobased crosslinked polyurethanes were synthesized and characterized as shape-memory polymers. Both the macrodiol and the diisocyanate were derived from renewable sources; the first one from castor oil, and the second one ...
Properties of flexible polyurethane foams containing isocyanate functionalized kraft lignin
(Elsevier, 2017-02-20)
A commercial kraft lignin (k-lignin) was successfully functionalized by means of the reaction of an isocyanate group from isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) with hydroxyl groups present in lignin (k-IPDI), for their further ...
Synthesis and characterization of polyurethanes with high renewable carbon content and tailored properties.
(2016-08-31)
Thermoplastic and cross-linked biobased polyurethanes with a renewable carbon content ranging from 78 to 98% were synthesized and characterized. The macrodiol and the diisocyanate used were derived from renewable source, ...
Synthesis of waterborne polyurethane-urea dispersions with chain extension step in homogeneous and heterogeneous media
(Elsevier, 2016-05-13)
[EN Hypothesis: The possibility of tailoring the final properties of environmentally friendly waterborne
polyurethane and polyurethane-urea dispersions and the films they produce makes them attractive for
a wide range ...
