Objective Based on the concept of integrating science and education, this study aims to incorporate research achievements into experimental teaching projects for light industry, materials science, biomass energy, and materials-related disciplines, fostering interdisciplinary talents with green development concepts, innovative thinking, and comprehensive practical capabilities.

Methods An innovative experimental project was designed, integrating the research team’s achievements. A high-efficiency dissolution system using renewable lignin/ethylene glycol to synthesize phosphate polyols with controllable viscosity, solvent-free elimination, and high lignin content. These polyols were used to replace traditional petroleum-based polyols in preparing bio-based polyurethane rigid foams. Characterization techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and Gel permeation chromatography, were employed to analyze the composition and performance of the materials.

Conclusion Through the implementation of this innovative experiment, students are effectively assisted in understanding and exploring the cutting-edge research progress of advanced biomass materials, grasping the basic characteristics, synthesis principles, and applications of biomass, familiarizing themselves with the operation methods of characterization instruments, establishing a green and low-carbon development concept, cultivating team collaboration skills, and comprehensively enhancing their scientific research innovative thinking and overall quality.
