	This work reports a simple method to improve the properties of electrospun nanofibers. The procedure involves developing nanofibers using electrospinning followed by liquid infiltration to reinforce the fibers. Coating of polyurethane nanofibers (PUN) with resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) significantly improves the properties of PUN. Furthermore, the morphology of fiber interface and the properties of RF coated fibers indicate that RF resin reinforces the interface between the fibers. The method leads to improvement in mechanical properties of PUN. An improvement of about 94% and 281% in mechanical properties like tensile strength and modulus, respectively, compared to neat PUN fibers is achieved by coating with 20% wt/vol of RF solution.</p>

	Poly(hydroxy urethanes) (PHUs) have been considered attractive and safer variants of conventional polyurethanes (PUs). To improve the prerequisites of green and sustainable chemistry herein, we propose the synthesis and utilization of cyclic carbonate monomers majorly derived from vanillin, a lignin derivative, and CO2 for the development of PHUs. Kinetic evaluation on the polymerization temperature ascertained 80 degrees C as the optimum condition for PHU synthesis. The structural evaluation of PHUs was carried out by various spectroscopic techniques, such as FTIR, (HNMR)-H-1, and C-13-NMR, molar masses were determined by gel permeation chromatography (Mn varied between 2500 and 11,100 g/mol), and thermal properties evaluated by differential scanning calorimeter (Tg in the ranges of 28-42 degrees C), and thermogravimetric analysis (stable above 180 degrees C). Since the PHUs are enriched with pendant hydroxyl groups on their backbone which can promote adhesion, lap shear studies on the aluminum substrate exhibited a maximum shear strength of 1.65 +/- 0.37 MPa. This study demonstrates an attractive and environment-friendly pathway for developing novel PHUs network using renewable biobased resources and further explores its applicability as adhesives.</p>
