Isosorbide (ISB), a nontoxic bio-based bicyclic diol composed from two fuzed furans, was incorporated into the preparation of flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs) for use as a cell opener and to impart antioxidant properties to the resulting foam.

FPUFs containing various amounts of ISB (up to 5 wt%) were successfully prepared without any noticeable deteriora ...[more]
