Polymer Science, Series D Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The domestic and foreign studies of the possibility of using “green” technologies for the synthesis of polyurethanes to produce paints, varnishes, and coatings based on them are reviewed. The physical, mechanical, and protective properties of bio-based polyurethane coatings are given. The possibility of practical application of paint and varnish coatings based on bio-based polyurethanes is analyzed. Issues of theoretical concepts on the synthesis of polyurethanes from plant raw materials are considered, and the most possible ways to produce paints and varnishes based on biopolyurethanes on an industrial scale are highlighted.
