A polyurethane is described which is a reaction product of at least one isocyanate containing material having at least two isocyanate groups and at least one compound having at least two hydrogen atoms capable of reacting with the isocyanate. The compound having the at least two hydrogen atoms contains a hydroxyalkanoate, which is preferably a thermally decomposable or a biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoate. The polyurethane of the present invention can be used in a number of applications and preferably has improved properties such as, but not limited to, improved flexibility and/or improved hydrophobicity. The polyurethanes of the present invention are preferably biodegradable and easily recycled.

1. A polyurethane obtained by the reaction of at least one product containing at least two isocyanate groups per molecule and at least one compound having at least two hydroxyl groups having different reactivity to the at least two isocyanate groups, wherein the at least one compound includes a thermally decomposable or biodegradable hydroxyalkanoate component. 2. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein said hydroxyalkanoate is 3 hydroxybutyric acid combined with ethylene glycol 1, 3 propane diol, 1,2 propane diol, 1,3 butane diol, 1,4 butane diol, diethanolamine, or combinations thereof. 3. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein said hydroxyalkanoate is 3 hydroxybutyric acid combined with polyethylene glycol having from about 1 to about 100 ethylene glycol repeat units. 4. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein said hydroxyalkanoate is a mixture of 3 hydroxybutyric acid and 3 hydroxyvaleric acid combined with ethylene glycol, 1, 3 propane diol, 1,2 propane diol, 1,3 butane diol, 1, 4 butane diol, or combinations thereof. 5. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein said hydroxyalkanoate is a mixture of 3 hydroxybutyric acid and 3 hydroxyvaleric acid combined with polyethylene glycol having from about 1 to about 100 ethylene glycol repeat units. 6. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein said isocyanate containing material is toluene diisocyanate, methylene 4, 4′ diphenyl diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, a combinations thereof. 7. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of isocyanate groups to hydroxy groups is from 0.5:1 to 2:1. 8. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein the polyurethane is biodegradable. 9. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein the polyurethane is hydrophilic. 10. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein the polyurethane is hydrophobic. 11. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein the polyurethane is a coating. 12. The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein the polyurethane is a flexible foam. 13.

The polyurethane of claim 1, wherein said hydroxyalkanoate is a polymer. 18. The polyurethane of claim 17, wherein said polymer is a homopolymer or copolymer. 19. The polyurethane of claim 17, wherein said polymer is a copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 4-hydroxybutyric acid. 20. The polyurethane of claim 17, wherein said hydroxyalkanoate is a polymer of 3 hydroxybutyric acid and 3 hydroxyhexanoic acid, or a polymer of 3 hydroxybutyric acid and 3 hydroxyoctanoic acid. 21. The polyurethane of claim 17, wherein said hydroxyalkanoate is a polymer of 1,3 hydroxy butyric acid; 1,4 hydroxy butyric acid, or both. 22. A method of making the polyurethane of claim 1, comprising reacting at least one product containing at least two isocyanate groups per molecule and at least one compound having at least two hydroxyl groups having different reactivity to the at least two isocyanate groups, wherein said at least one compound contains, as part of the compound, a thermally decomposable or a biodegradable hydroxyalkanoate component. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein said compound having at least two hydrogen atoms is primarily a mono ester.
