Developing high-performance, sustainable adhesives for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications remains a major challenge due to the inherent trade-off between mechanical strength thermal stability in bio-based materials. While previous studies have explored polyurethane (PU) adhesives, achieving superior adhesion durability challenging when compared petroleum-based counterparts. This study presents novel adhesive system utilizing polypropylene glycol (PPG2000), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), renewable polyols (isosorbide-derived polyols, diglycerol, glycerol). The were synthesized via controlled one-shot polymerization process with 4-tert-butylphenol as an end-capping agent, enabling precise modulation of crosslink density molecular architecture. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed complete urethane bond formation, isocyanate group (NCO%) titration validated stoichiometric conversion. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) revealed distinct weight distributions, which influence performance by affecting density, elasticity, depending on polyol structure.
