Abstract
From a green and sustainable chemistry standpoint, the current challenge in the polyurethane’s industry is to switch from petrobased polyurethanes (PUs) to biobased polyhydroxyurethanes (PHUs). This review describes the main alternative strategies being developed with a focus on PHUs from vegetable oils and derivatives. The substitution of petrobased polyols by natural oil based polyols was the first route to biobased PUs to be developed. The...
