Search for novel biobased materials within the OLIVPOL project. In International Conference on Bio-based Polymers and Composites. Siófok, Lake Balaton, Hungary.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/7412Within the context of the project OLIVPOL, olive stone (OS) residue was successfully converted into viscous polyols, as such, or containing reinforcing stone cores, by total or partial oxypropylation, respectively. Moreover, the synthesis of new macromolecular materials using the oxypropylated products, such as polyesters and polyurethanes, demonstrated a promising approach to the production of original value-added products based on renewable resources.engOlive sotneOxypropylationPolyurethanesPolyestersBiopolyolsOLIVPOLconference object
