This brief outlines the most recent advances in the production of polyols and polyurethanes from renewable resources, mainly vegetable oils, lignocellulosic biomass, starch, and protein. The typical processes for the production of polyols from each of the above mentioned feedstocks are introduced and the properties of the resultant polyols and polyurethanes are also discussed.
This brief meets the extensive research interest in developing bio-based polyols and polyurethanes from renewable resources Production processes of biopolyols from different biomass feedstocks are discussed in this brief. Properties of bio-based polyols and polyurethanes and their comparison with commercial analogs are included Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
