Leucaena Oil Functionalized With Osmium Tetroxide as a Precursor for Polyol‐Based Polyurethane [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Leucaena leucocephala seed oil is converted into a hydroxyl‐functional biopolyol through OsO4‐mediated dihydroxylation. The resulting biopolyol shows a hydroxyl number of 160–175 mg KOH g−1 and is successfully used to produce flexible, open‐cell polyurethane foams, highlighting a renewable route for converting underutilized biomass into value‐added ...
