A considerable number of research works focus on the positive influence of cellulose on the properties of polymer-based composites and their wide range of application possibilities. The present work is focused on the synthesis of novel bio-based polyurethane (bio-PU) composites filled with powdered cellulose (microcellulose, MC) in an amount of 5 wt.%. Bio-PU composites were synthesized via a non-solvent prepolymer method. First, the prepolymer was synthesized from diisocyanate mixture based on hexamethylene diisocyanate and bio-based polyisocyanate Tolonate™ X Flo 100 and α,ω-oligo(ethylene-butylene adipate)diol which contained cellulose. Then, resulted prepolymer was extended by bio-based 1,4 butanediol (bio-BDO). Bio-PU composites were obtained with the different [NCO]/[OH] molar ratios: 0.95, 1.0, 105 and 1.1. Special attention was paid to the influence of MC on the phase separation between soft and hard segments of bio-PU by studying the chemical structure, morphology and thermal and mechanical properties of the prepared cellulose-based composites.
