a

Acidolysis in bulk was performed with two preheating steps.

b

In calculation of the contents of nonhydroxyl end groups (carboxyl and amine) and TDA, the molecular weight of 3.5 kg mol–1 and the chemical composition of the copolymeric polyol Alcupol F-4811 were taken into account.

c

Calculated according to eq S1.

d

Calculated according to eq S2.

e

Calculated according to eq S3.

f

Calculated according to eq S4.
