At the beginning of this month,
I discussed the rich number of monomers that can be used to create polyurethanes. I just ran across a
new research article ($, a free review is
is available) describing one such monomer that I surprisingly hadn't run across before: sugar. It makes perfect sense - sugars (after ring opening) have hydroxyl groups exposed, making them a polyol, and a partially green polymer.
