Popis: Bio-based polyurethanes are promising for the controlled release of nutrients and fertilizers, but their toughness and plasticity need to be improved. We developed a smooth, dense, elastic, and indestructible bio-based polyurethane (BPU) coating with a nutrient controlled release ∼150% superior, a tensile strength ∼300% higher, and a toughness ∼1200% higher than those for the original BPU coating. Through a one-step reaction of soybean oil polyols (accounting for more than 60%), isocyanate, and benzil dioxime, the dynamic covalent network based on oxime-carbamate replaces part of irreversible covalent cross-linking. The dynamic fracture-bonding reaction in the modified coating BPU can effectively promote the hydrogen bond recombination and oxime-carbamate chain migration in the coating process, which avoids the structural defects caused by coating tear and fertilizer collision. This work provides a simple and versatile strategy for building controlled-release fertilizer coatings.
