Lignocellulosic Biomass as a Source of Raw Materials for the Synthesis of Polyurethanes

Abstract

Precursors have been satisfactorily synthesized from lignocellulosic biomass for later use in the synthesis of polyurethanes resulting in competitive final properties with those of petroleum derived polyurethanes.
