The progressive dwindling of fossil resources, coupled with the drastic increase in oil prices, have sparked a feverish activity in search of alternatives based on renewable resources for the production of energy. Given the predominance of petroleum- and carbon-based chemistry for the manufacture

## Abstract **Summary:** 1‐(2′,2′,3′,3′‐Tetracyanocyclopropyl)‐3,4‐di‐2′‐hydroxyethoxybenzene (4) was prepared by the reaction of bromomalononitrile with 3,4‐di‐(2′‐hydroxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile (3). The dipole moment of diol 4, calculated by the ASED‐MO method, was 4.01 D. Diol 4 was cond
A number of polyurethanes were synthesized by reacting castor oil with hexamethylene diisocyanate, varying the NCO/OH ratio. The polyurethanes were reacted with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) to prepare the interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) using benzoyl peroxide as the initiator and ethy
A large number of improved high-temperature stable semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) were synthesized by condensing copolymerized resins with castor oil-based polyurethane using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) as a crosslinker. The structures of these semi-IPNs were studied us
