In our study, we focused on obtaining bio-polyurethane composites using bio-components such as bio glycol, modified natural oil-based polyol, and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The pre-polymer method was used to prepare the bio polyurethane matrix. Prepolymer was synthesized using 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and a polyol mixture containing 50 wt.% of commercial polyether and 50 wt.% of hydroxylated soybean oil (H3). Bio based 1,3-propanediol (1,3bioPDO) was used as the prepolymer chain extender. The composites were produced by dispersing 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt.% of MCC in the bio polyurethane matrix. The polymerization was catalyzed with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). The influence of the added microcrystalline cellulose powder on the structure and thermal properties of the obtained composites was investigated. The FTIR analysis demonstrated that the MCC admixture affected the absorbance of C-O-C and C=O groups and the phase separation index of the obtained bio-polyurethanes composites. The results of mechanical tests and scanning microscopy images indicated good interfacial adhesion between the partially bio-based matrix of the composite and bio-filler. The results of thermomechanical analysis showed that the application of MCC as a filler has a positive effect on the storage and loss moduli of the composites.
