Abstract

An artistic depiction comparing structure-property relationships in lignin-derivable and petroleum-derived non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) with conventional polyurethanes (PUs), highlighting how methoxy substituents from lignin and hydroxyl-rich NIPU chemistry modulate performance to approach or exceed traditional PU benchmarks. More details can be found in the Research Article by LaShanda T. J. Korley and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/macp.202500433).
