Synthesis of Polyols for Expanded Rigid Polyurethanes by Microwave Liquefaction of Kraft Lignin With Bio‐Based Solvents

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study produced bio‐based polyols from lignin using microwave liquefaction with bio‐derived solvents. The process was optimized by adjusting solvent composition and catalyst type to obtain high yields and a suitable hydroxyl number. Foams made from lignin‐based polyols showed comparable properties to commercial products.
