Biobased Polyurethane Coatings for Corrosion Protection of Carbon Steel

Highly transparent polyurethane thermosets with tunable properties and enzymatic degradability derived from polyols originating from hemicellulosic sugars

“…In this vein, and with the aim of improving the long-term sustainability of the PU industry, extensive efforts have been recently made in the academia and chemical industry to exploit biomass-derived feedstocks as precursors for different polyols. [6][7][8][18][19][20][21][22] Various renewable resources such as vegetable oils, polysaccharides (starch, agro-wastes, etc. ), microalgae and lignocellulose have been explored for the production of biobased polyols, the main constituent of PUs.…”
