In modern society, the multifarious polymeric material polyurethane (PU) is used in
household appliances and commercial sectors. Statistics shows the usage of PU as rigid …

Nitrogen‐containing polymers are widely applied materials, including polyamides,
polyurethanes, and polyureas as well as epoxy thermosets. Their indispensability and the …

Currently, polyurethane (PU) manufacturers seek green alternatives for sustainable
production. In this work, sunflower oil is studied as a replacement and converted to a …

Sunflower oil was used for the synthesis of a polyol via an epoxidation reaction followed by
a ring-opening reaction. The successful synthesis of the sunflower oil-based polyol (SFO …

Waste cooking oil (WCO) is generated after frying or cooking food with vegetable oils. It can
be obtained from domestic sources, fast-food places, and industries. The continuous reuse …

This introductory chapter summarizes the main concepts related to polyurethane (PU)
chemistry. It gives proper insight into the vast number of materials incorporated into the …

In this study, gutter oil biodiesel-based polyols (GOBP) and a reactive-type flame retardant
named diethyl bis (2-hydroxyethyl)-aminomethylphosphonate (BHAPE) were both …

To address the increasing demand for sustainable biomaterials because of the excessive
usage of fossil fuel and growing concerns with the environment, a novel biodegradable and …

Graphite (stacked graphene layers) has been modified in several ways to enhance its
potential properties/utilities. One approach is to convert graphite into a unique 'nano …
