Abstract Developing sustainable materials for next‐generation robotic protective layers demands a unique combination of excellent mechanical properties, dynamic adaptability, and multifunctionality. Here, class lignin‐derived polyurethane elastomers (LVPUs) is designed via “dynamic locking” strategy, incorporating robust silyl ether bonds structural stability reversible imine adaptability within lignin‐based crosslinked network. LVPUs exhibit outstanding tensile property, impact resistance, solvent resistance in the locked state, ensuring reliable protection. Through bond exchange mechanisms, these can be effectively reprocessed thermal treatment or room‐temperature hydrolysis, enabling versatile recycling. Additionally, photo‐thermal reaching surface temperature ≈80 °C under 1 sun irradiation (0.1 W cm⁻ 2 ), achieving efficient photo‐thermal‐electric energy conversion with an output voltage ≈0.5 V. This study proposes eco‐friendly strategy developing flexible robotics that integrate multi‐aspect protection, recyclability supply capabilities.

Abstract Utilizing biomass and CO 2 to synthesize biodegradable reusable polymeric materials is critical for addressing the dual challenges of petrochemical resource depletion environmental pollution. Among emerging alternatives, ‐based polyols (PPC) exhibit exceptional promise in replacing petroleum‐based polyols; while, lignin stands as most abundant aromatic resource. However, integrating these feedstocks produce high‐performance with combined biodegradability, recyclability, reusability remains technically demanding. In this work, a lignin‐based waterborne polyurethane adhesive (LWPU) developed using PPC low‐molecular‐weight (AOH), achieving high solid content (53.2%) outstanding overall properties. The incorporation strengthens hydrogen‐bonding networks increases crosslinking density, thereby enhancing cohesive energy density. optimized LWPU demonstrates robust adhesion on diverse substrates, lap shear strengths reaching 14.7 MPa (wood), 10.6 (steel), 9.0 (aluminum). Notably, it maintains structural integrity under extreme thermal variations (–30 °C 100 °C), high‐humidity (95% ± 5% RH), prolonged ultraviolet (UV) irradiation conditions. Further, lignin‐reinforced dynamic covalent hydrogen bonds impart recyclability adhesives. This methodology establishes sustainable pathway designing bio‐adhesives that synergistically utilize CO₂‐derived feedstocks.
