Synthesis and characterization of biopolyurethane crosslinked with castor oil-based hyperbranched polyols as polymeric solid-solid phase change materials.

ABSTRACT: Novel crosslinking bio polyurethane based polymeric solid-solid phase change materials (SSPCM) were synthesized using castor oil (CO) based hyperbranched polyols as crosslinkers. CO-based hyperbranched polyols were synthesized by grafting 1-mercaptoethanol or α-thioglycerol via a thiol-ene click reaction method (coded as COM and COT, respectively). Subsequently, the three SSPCMs were synthesized by a two-step prepolymer method. Polyethylene glycol was used as the phase change material in the SSPCMs, while the CO-based hyperbranched polyols and two types of diisocyanate (hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate) served as the molecular frameworks. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the successful synthesis of the SSPCMs. The solid-solid transitio
