Surface tension parameters and surface morphology of biopolyurethanes based on cellulose derivatives thin films, before and after HF cold plasma treatment has been investigated. Calculations are based on the geometric mean approach of Owens and Wendt, Rabel and Kälble, on the Lifshitz-van der Waals acid/base approach of van Oss and co-workers and on the theoretical methods involving quantitative structure-property relationship. For all the investigated samples the polar component contributes significantly to the total surface tensions, as due to the large electron donor interactions. HF cold plasma treatment modifies the surface energy of biopolyurethanes by changing their surface polarity and hydrophilicity. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance was studied by means of the free energy of hydration between the biomaterial film and water. The protein adsorption tests of fibrinogen were effected to evaluate the applicability of these biopolyurethanes as biomedical thromboresistant devices.

Nonwoven Mats Based on Segmented Biopolyurethanes Filled with MWCNT Prepared by Solution Blow Spinning.
Polymers (Basel)
October 2022
Dept. Materials Science and Engineering, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, IQMAAB, Av. Universidad 30, 28911 Madrid, Spain.
To prepare nonwoven mats constituted by submicrometric fibers of thermally responsive biopolyurethanes (TPU) modified with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), solution blow spinning (SBS) was used. The TPU was the product of synthesis using poly(butylene sebacate)diol, PBSD, ethyl ester L-lysine diisocyanate (LDI), and 1,3-propanediol (PD) (PBSe:LDI:PD) as reactants. TPU was modified by adding different amounts of MWCNT (0, 0.

The present review is devoted to the description of the state-of-the-art techniques and procedures concerning treatments and modifications of lignocellulosic materials in order to use them as precursors for biomaterials, biochemicals and biofuels, with particular focus on lignin and lignin-based products. Four different main pretreatment types are outlined, i.e.

To develop a durable, biodegradable polymer, this study successfully synthesized a castor-oil-based prepolymer by using methylene diphenyl diisocyanate as a hard segment, polycaprolactone as a soft segment, and castor oil as a functional monomer. We added perfluorinated alkyl segments with varying chain lengths into the castor-oil-based polymer to synthesize castor-oil-based fluoridated biopolyurethanes (FCOPUs) with different fluorinated segment lengths. The castor-oil-based polyurethanes with different fluorinated segment lengths had similar molecular weights, which enabled accurate analysis of the effect of the lengths of fluorinated segments on FCOPUs.

Department of Chemical Engineering, Kyung Hee University, Gyeonggi-do 446-701, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:
Saccharification residue from empty fruit bunch (EFB) was liquefied with bio-butanediol to produce lignin biopolyols for the preparation of biopolyurethane. To substitute petroleum-derived polyhydric alcohols, butanediol isomers (1,4-butanediol, levo-2,3-bio-butanediol, and meso-2,3-bio-butanediol) or PEG#400-blended butanediol isomers were used as liquefaction solvents in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst.
