Abstract The increasing pressure from consumers and policy makers to reduce
the use of synthetic polymers, whose production contributes to the depletion of
non-renewable resources and are usually non- biodegradable, has prompted the
efforts to find suitable bio-based sources for the production of polymers. Vegetable oils have been a frequently spotted in this search because they are versatile,
highly available and a low cost liquid biosource, which can be used in the synthesis of a wide plethora of different polymers and reactive monomers. Following
the same idea of reducing the environmental stress, the traditional polyurethanes
