Bio-polyol fractionation and formulation strategies for bio-based polyurethane materials
This technology uses a room-temperature solvent process to separate and blend lignin and other bio-polyols, enabling the production of customizable, high-performance, bio-based polyurethane foams, coatings, and adhesives as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based materials.
Background:
The field of polyurethane production has traditionally relied...
