Sorbitol as a Chain Extender of Polyurethane Prepolymers to Prepare Self-Healable and Robust Polyhydroxyurethane Elastomers

A self-healable polyhydroxyurethane (S-PU) was synthesized from sorbitol, a biomass of polyhydric alcohol, by a simple process that is suitable for practical applications. In the synthesis, only two primary hydroxyl groups of sorbitol were considered for the chain extension of the polyurethane (PU)...
