Materials with multifunctionality or multiresponsiveness, especially polymers derived from green, renewable precursors, have recently attracted significant attention resulting from their technological impact. Nowadays, vegetable‐oil‐based waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) are widely used in various fi...
