Lignin is one of the most abundant natural polymers. Produced as a by-product from the bio-
refinery industries, it remains largely underutilised in high-value industrial applications. The …

This work aims at enhancing the concrete performance using a new protective coating
named as asphaltic polyurethane (As/PU) coating, which prepared at different NCO/OH …

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) modified polyurethane foam (PUF) has great potential as a
structural insulated material in wood construction industry. In this study, PUF modified with …

Rigid polyurethane (PU) foam has been widely used for a multitude of applications, primarily
