Polyurethane (PU), as a polymer material with versatile product forms and excellent
performance, is used in coatings, elastomers, adhesives, and foams widely. However, the …

The increasing use of bio-based fuels and fuel additives, among them biodiesel, causes
significant surplus of crude glycerol on the market which creates new challenges in terms of …

Liquefaction, a useful method of turning whole biomass into liquids, provides advantages for
energy and polymers and finds applications in many sectors. This paper reviews the …

In this work, wheat bran was used as cellulosic filler in biocomposites based on natural
rubber. The impact of wheat bran content [ranging from 10 to 50 parts per hundred rubber …

An advanced hydrophobic lignin-based polyurethane coated urea (HLPCU) was
successfully developed by synergy of carbon black (CB) and polysiloxane. In this work, CB …

The present study focused on synthesizing polyurethane foams with different contents of
liquefied lignin. To fulfill that, the weight ratios of liquefied lignin to polypropylene glycol triol …

This paper presents that carrageenan (CG) extracted with ultrasonic assisted alkali
treatment has good physicochemical properties like uniform porosity and high gel-strength …

Polyalcohol liquefaction can be performed by acid or base catalysis, producing polyols with
different properties. This study compared the mechanical properties of foams produced …

Cork is the bark of Quercus suber L., the cork oak tree. It is currently explored for different
industrial applications, of which stoppers for the wine industry is the most representative and …

In this work lignocellulose biomass liquefaction was used to produce biopolyols suitable for
the manufacturing of rigid polyurethane foams. In order to better evaluate the mechanism of …
