Bio-based difuranic polyol monomers and their derived linear and cross-linked polyurethanes

Zehuai Mou, Shuo Feng, Eugene Y.‐X. Chen

Abstract

Starting from the biomass platform chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), diol, triol and tetraol difuranic monomers were synthesized, which were utilized in the polyaddition step-growth polymerization with various diisocyanates to produce bio-based linear or cross-linked polyurethanes.
