Fatty epoxides are produced from the corresponding alkenes by oxidation in the presence of
peracids or other oxidants. The classic method is the Prilezhaev epoxidation in which …

Due to the specific physiological pH throughout the human body, pH-responsive polymers
have been considered for aiding drug delivery systems. Depending on the surrounding pH …

For 80 years, polyisocyanates and polyols were central building blocks for the industrial
fabrication of polyurethane (PU) foams. By their partial hydrolysis, isocyanates release CO2 …

Non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) from renewable resources have attracted much
attention owing to their significant benefits towards sustainable development and green …

Polyurethane foams currently dominate the global foam market. Nevertheless, the main
drawback of these foams remains the use of toxic isocyanate reagents. To overcome this …

Currently, the pulp and paper industry generates around 50–70 million tons of lignin
annually, which is mainly burned for energy recovery. Lignin, being a natural aromatic …

In this study, a green and sustainable strategy was opted for the synthesis of a novel
biobased non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) or polyhydroxyurethane (PHU). NIPU or PHU …

The increasing demand for using less toxic and dangerous products has fostered the
development of nonisocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs). Despite several years of progress …

Green resources for lithium‐based batteries excite many researchers due to their eco‐
friendly nature. In this work, a sustainable bio‐based solid‐state electrolyte was developed …

Polyurethane (PU) foams are very common materials that have found many applications
over the years. Their use is constantly improving due to their unique physical properties and …
