Thus, various processes and raw materials have been developed to prepare WPU. This review gives an overview on the de- velopments of WPU mainly derived from novel polyols, analyzes the potential application in water-based inks and presents the probable future research area about water-based inks. Notably, the poly（e-cap- rolactone） and poly（lactic acid） are the versatile materials used in WPU synthesis and supply the po- tential special performance for preparing WPU. Meanwhile, addition-fragmentation chain transfer （RAFT） polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization （ATRP） processes provide an opportu- nity to control the chain sequence of WPU and obtain products with the desired performance.展开更多
