Towards Circular Economy: Different Strategies for Polyurethane Waste Recycling and the Obtaining of New Products
(MDPI, 2018-11-22)
As a consequence of the high production and simultaneous consumption of polyurethanes
(PU) a great volume of PU waste is landfilled. In this scenario, suitable and efficient routes for PU
waste recycling have been searched ...
Lignocellulosic Biomass as a Source of Raw Materials for the Synthesis of Polyurethanes
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Precursors have been satisfactorily synthesized from lignocellulosic biomass for later use in the synthesis of polyurethanes resulting in competitive final properties with those of petroleum derived polyurethanes
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. ...
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, ...
