The new technology developed by Dots.nt Xo Yen Chong and his team uses natural polymer lignin derived from plants and carbon dioxide. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This method allows the process to be environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. Traditional polyurethane production uses isocyanate compounds, which can be hazardous and toxic.
The new technology maintains the material's strength, heat resistance, and elasticity without toxic substances. Additionally, the new bioplastics dissolve in organic solvents, making them easier to recycle and offering advantages over many other ecological polymers.
This creates good opportunities for producing new materials in the industry. Furthermore, this development enables the recycling of cellulose and paper industry waste and obtaining new resources from them.
This serves to protect the environment and reduce the use of natural resources. As a result of the development, synthesis processes are shortened, and energy consumption decreases, making the new polyurethane materials affordable and environmentally efficient.
This innovative approach offers great potential for widespread application in the industry.
