Biobased Polyurethane Foams Based on New Polyol Architectures from Microalgae Oil

Environmental concerns continuously drive research to find alternatives to fossil-based constituents in a greener way. Industrial polyurethane (PU) foams are usually obtained from the polyaddition reaction between fossil-based polyols and polymeric 4,4′-methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate). The very recent development at the industrial scale of microalgae production provides accessibility to original building blocks and new macromolecular...
