| Abstract |
The need for sustainability and a circular economy leads to the development of innovative greener materials and technologies. This paper is focused on a novel class of bio-based polyurethanes (PUs) synthesized with the use of bio-monomers including bio-based isocyanates. The novelty of this work is related to the usage of bio-based modified isocyanate via a two-step solvent-free synthesis of novel cast bio-based poly(ester-urethanes) and poly(ether-urethanes). The designed and prepared bio-based PUs were analysed in terms of their chemical structure, thermal stability, mechanical and thermomechanical properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the formation of urethane groups and allowed the calculation of the carbonyl index and the degree of phase separation. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction indicated the amorphous behavior of the obtained bio-based materials. It was established that not only the thermal stability but also the degradation steps depended on the structure of the hard segments and the phase separation between hard and soft segments. The modification of hard segments was also revealed in the results of thermomechanical and mechanical behavior of bio-PU which indicated a mixed phase structure. |
