To address the limitations of traditional waterborne two-component polyurethane (2k-WPU) in terms of water resistance, mechanical strength, and adhesion, this study developed an all-biobased composite material (WPU-VF) using a dual covalent cross-linking strategy. A lignin-derived benzoxazine monomer (VF) was synthesized from vanillic acid and furfurylamine and introduced into 2k -WPU to form a rigid aromatic network through ring-opening polymerization. This improved the material's mechanical properties (tensile strength: 28 MPa), hydrophobicity (contact angle: 101 degrees), and wet adhesion (only a 13% loss of shear strength after soaking). The material also exhibited rapid self-healing ability (10 min at 140 degrees C), triple shape memory performance, and recyclability (92.8% strength retention after two cycles). Notably, WPU-VF-0.3 completely degraded within 2 h under mild alkaline conditions, complying with the principles of the circular economy. The waterborne process minimized the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This sustainable design provides a high-performance, recyclable, and degradable polymer solution, which is expected to be applied in the fields of environmentally friendly coatings, food packaging materials, and smart adhesives, reducing dependence on petrochemical products and waste accumulation.
Ethyl levulinate (EL) is a key biomass-derived compounds due to its socio-economic benefits for the synthesis of commodity chemicals. Herein, we proposed an efficient one-step bamboo conversion to EL in ethanol, and a novel stepwise fractionation to purify EL and lignocellulose degradation products. A proton acid, due to its high catalytic efficiency, yielded 26.65% EL in 120 min at 200 °C. The productions of ethyl glucoside and 5-ethoxymethylfurfural were analyzed in terms of by-products formation. To the best of our knowledge, there is no single report on catalyst for one step synthesis of EL directly from bamboo, as well as a stepwise fractionation to purify EL. Due to similar physiochemical properties in each fraction, the platform molecules could broaden a new paradigm of bamboo biomass utilization for renewable energy and value-added biochemicals. In addition, glucose, ethyl glucoside, corn starch, and microcrystalline cellulose were also investigated as substrates, so that the reaction intermediates of this one-pot procedure were identified and a possible reaction mechanism was proposed.
Solvent liquefaction was an effective process which could utilize biomass raw materials efficiently and comprehensively. Compared with water as a single solvent, the mixed solvent system could reduce the reaction temperature and pressure, improve the conversion of biomass, reduce the oxygen content in bio-oil, and increase the yield of the target product. This paper reviewed the common water mixed solvent systems in recent years, including the role of alcohol-water cosolvent, polar aprotic solvent-water system and ionic liquid-water system in the degradation process of lignocellulosic biomass, especially the application characteristics of ethanol-water cosolvent, tetrahydrofuran (THF)-water cosolvent and γ-valerolactone (GVL)-water cosolvent in biomass liquefaction. This paper also gave the shortage and suggestions of these solvents in biomass liquefaction field. Finally, based on the consideration of the economic value, recovery and safety performance of the solvent itself, it is pointed out that the development of low-cost, environment-friendly and sustainable liquefying solvents would be the key development direction in the future.
The determination methods of bio-based content in bio-based solid material,including the selective dissolution method (SDM) and 14C method,were reviewed.The precision of SDM was relatively lower,and its sample preparation was more complex and time consuming.14C method contained liquid scintillation counting(LSC) method,which included CO2 absorption method, direct LSC method and benzene synthesis,and accelerator mass spectrometry(AMS) method.CO2 absorption method was simple, fast and low cost,but it was also low precision. This method was suitable for the sample requirement for not high precision. The sample preparation of direct LSC method was the simplest in all methods, but it had a high requirement on the samples. This method had a lot of interference factors which were difficult to be eliminated.Benzene synthesis method had high precision,but the sample pretreatment took time,and the measuring period was long. Accelerator mass spectrometry was a rapid detection method and also had high precision,but the equipment was extremely expensive.These all limited its application.Finally,the prospects for their future development were also presented.
The 14C content in the bio-based foam was determined by liquid scintillation based on ASTM D6866 method. Identification of the bio-based and petroleum based foam was based on the different biobased content. In this experiment, the sample quality is determined by the elemental analysis. The temperature of the ignition experiment is dependent on TG. After combustion,the sample was converted to carbon dioxide. Through a series of chemical reactions,it was synthesised to be liquid benzene. Through the determination of radioactive carbon isotope,content of 14C in benzene was used to identify biomass based foams and petroleum based foam. The background coal and standard substance sugar carbon were detected simultaneously. The results showed that the 14 C radioactivity values of sugar carbon were the standard value,and the results of biobased content result is in agreement with that of the American Beta laboratory by using accelerator mass spectrometry ( AMS) method. The bio-based content of four kinds of foam samples are 18. 77%,23. 51%,5. 39% and 11. 13%,respectively . They all are bio-based foam. It indicates that the bio-based foam and the petroleum based foam can be identified by this method.

Maleopimaric acid (MPA) can be used for polymer materials as a rosin derivative. In this study, rosin-based waterborne polyurethane (RWPU) was prepared with different content of maleopimaric acid polyester polyol (MAPP), which was synthesized from MPA.

The onset decomposition temperature of RWPU with 30 wt% MAPP is improved from 170°C to 237°C, compared to the pure WPU. The tensile strength of the derivative was increased from 7.24 MPa to 23.24 MPa as well relative to the default polyurethane. The water absorption decreased significantly from 78.6% to 14.7%.
