Abstract
ABSTRACTSubbituminous coal from the powder river basin was extracted with N,N‐dimethylformamide at atmospheric pressure to yield a solid extract that provided phenolic and carboxylic acid groups. The coal extract was employed as polyol in polyurethane (PU) synthesis. A solvent‐free synthesis using 2,4‐toluene diisocyanate (TDI) resulted in a porous PU solid. Reaction with TDI in solution resulted in a soluble PU that could be applied as adhesive or coating. Coatings were also prepared from coal extract solutions and commercial, polymeric isocyanates, providing excellent adhesion to aluminum. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
