The most well-known and significant bio-based polymers are those from vegetable oil (VO) resources since they are readily available, ecofriendly, non-toxic, and low price. In this report, we have investigated the production of VOs derived materials such as epoxides, polyols, polyamines, polycarbonates, polyisocyanate, polyurethanes, along with their physical and chemical properties. The preparation of VOs-based polymers with various functionalities such as ring-opening epoxidized vegetable oil (EVOs) and carbonated with CO2. The ring-opening of EVOs was performed with different types of nucleophilic reagents (alcohols, amines, and water). The obtained polyols were used as an initiator for ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide and were used for the synthesis of polyurethane. In addition, the EVOs were also carbonated with CO2 to form a cyclic carbonate. The obtained cyclic carbonate materials were subjected to ring- opening by using amines to make non-isocyanate polyurethane. The yielded polymeric materials with outstanding properties are enable to replace petro-based merchandise. |
