Abstract: Novel cross linked Biopolyurethane were synthesized from naturally occurring soyabean oil. Polyurethane was prepared by Epoxidation followed by the formation of Polyol by thermal hydrolysis at high temperature for five hours. The formed polyol was converted into polyurethane by the addition of hexamethylene diisocyanate at different concentration. The cross linked novel biopolyurethane were evaluated by FTIR and NMR studies. The biodegradation of the formed polymer were evaluated by soil biurial test. The Chemical resistance of the crosslinked polyurethane were analysed by different solvents. As a result of these studies it shows that the newly synthesised Polyurethane was potentially biodegradable and used for the manufacture of leather and automobile parts.
