Hemicelluloses are considered as the most abundant family of plant-based polysaccharides after cellulose. This family has recently stood out as a highly promising source for the production of biobased chemicals. Wide range of downstream processes, including catalysis, chemoenzymatic processes, etc are being used to break down this attractive source into reactive building blocks. Polyols as well as diacids all are among the relevant examples of hemicelluloses-derived monomers that are prepared. These building blocks are mostly used for the synthesis of polymers such as polyesters, polyurethanes, polycarbonates etc.<br/>The present work deals with successful synthesis of new fully biobased polyesters and non-isocyanates polyurethanes using building blocks derived from hemicellulose sugars. The structural features were confirmed by <sup>1</sup>H NMR and FTIR spectroscopies and Tof-MS and their thermal properties were investigated by DSC and TGA. This oral presentation will spotlight our findings.
