Cellulose has attracted considerable attention as the strongest potential candidate feedstock for bio-based polymeric material production.

Menthane diamine promotes the strength and toughness of H-bonding and disulfide bonding-based self-healing polyurethane elastomers and simultaneously improves the elasticity and self-healing performance.

A tung oil-based acrylated-alkyd resin was modified by IBOA, exhibiting improved performance including mechanical strength, hardness, heat resistance, etc.

Polyurethane materials will come into contact with different solvents in daily life, and at the same time, they will be subject to different degrees of collision, wear and tear. Failure to take corresponding preventative or reparative measures will result in a waste of resources and an increase in costs. To this end, we prepared a novel polysiloxane with isobornyl acrylate and thiol groups as side groups, which was further used in the preparation of poly­(thiourethane-urethane) materials. Thiourethane bonds generated by the click reaction of thiol groups with isocyanates endow poly­(thiourethane-urethane) materials with the ability to heal and reprocess. Isobornyl acrylate with a large sterically hindered rigid ring promotes segment migration, accelerating the exchange of thiourethane bonds, which is beneficial to the recycling of materials. These results not only promote the development of terpene derivative-based polysiloxanes but also show the great potential of thiourethane as a dynamic covalent bond in the field of polymer reprocessing and healing.

Non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) from renewable resources have attracted wide attention because of their remarkable benefits to sustainable development and green production. In this work, a strong, self-healing, and catalyst-free NIPU (ECMP) was prepared based on the hyperbranched biobased cyclic carbonate (Ec-MTDA) synthesized through catalytic carbonization of 1,8-menthane diamine (MTDA) and CO 2 . The hyperbranched and rigid structures of ECMP enable improved mechanical properties that a high tensile strength of up to 34.9 MPa can be achieved. Benefiting from the dynamic transesterification reaction between the carbamate and hydroxyl groups, ECMP presents favorable self-healing, reprocessing properties, and shape memory. Notably, 91% of the original tensile strength can be recovered after self-healing behavior. In addition, abundant polar groups provide excellent adhesion properties for ECMP with a high shear strength of 7.09 MPa. This study provides a promising strategy for the design of bio-based NIPUs, which broadens their applications in printing, furniture, packaging, and other industries.
