A facile strategy towards heterogeneous preparation of thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane from amorphous regenerated cellulose paste

Cellulose is an abundant feedstock with renewability and biodegradability. However, it is still challenging to manufacture natural cellulose products by environmentally friendly thermoplastic processing methods. Herein, we proposed a green approach for the heterogeneous preparation of thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane (RCP-g-PU) from amorphous regenerated cellulose paste (RCP) via hydroxyl/isocyanate chemistry. First, amorphous RCP...
