Polyurethane foam (PUF) is highly valued in various industrial applications due to its excellent specific strength and thermal insulation properties. As we pivot toward sustainable development, bio-based PUF has emerged as a promising alternative. Central to this transformation is the synthesis of biopolyols, which facilitate the preparation of biodegradable PUF. In this study, we successfully synthesized lignin-based polyols (LP) by introducing hydroxyl groups into Kraft lignin. The resulting LP remained in liquid form at room temperature and exhibited high reactivity, as evidenced by a hydroxyl content of 6.38 mmol/g. We further developed lignin-based polyurethane foam (LPUF) by substituting conventional petroleum-based polyols with LP, in proportions ranging from 20 to 100%. The presence of a rigid benzene ring in LP imparted enhanced mechanical and thermal properties to the LPUF. Remarkably, the stress at 70% strain of LPUF reached 86.80 kPa when 60% of LP was used as a substitute, approximately nearly four times better than that of conventional petroleum-based PUF. Additionally, biodegradation experiments revealed that LPUF with 100% LP substitution degraded by 17.36% over 180 days, a rate significantly higher than the 4.36% observed in petroleum-based PUF.
