Novel Diols from Sustainable Raw Materials
Scientists at NDSU have developed bio-based diols that are produced from compounds that can be extracted from cellulosic biomass. These diols may be used to produce epoxy resins without using bisphenol-A, as well as polyesters and polyurethanes. The epoxy resins can be used to produce a range of coatings, composites, and adhesives, including food and...

Novel Bio-based Non-isocyanate Polyurethane Based on Carbamate-aldehyde Crosslinking
This technology offers a biobased, non-isocyanate two-component (2 K) polyurethane coating system, designed for high-performance surface protection. It features a polycarbamate resin derived from vegetable oils such as a soybean-oil alkyd or epoxidized sucrose soyate, which is cross-linked with a dialdehyde, either petro-derived (e.g., 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxaldehyde)...

Bio-based Monomers for Polymers and Plastics
-name: TableNormal;border-collapse: collapse; }
This technology introduces novel monomers synthesized from biomass, particularly lignin and cellulose. The disclosed monomers include functionalized derivatives of lignin-based phenolic compounds such as vanillin, eugenol, and syringaldehyde, as well as furan-based monomers derived from cellulose. These...
