Recently, renewable bio‐based materials have received more and more attention due to environmental issues such as global warming and ecosystem destruction. In the present work, a series of isosorbide‐based bioelastomers poly(isosorbide carbonate‐co‐butanediol aliphatic esters)s (PICBAs) are synthesized by a facile and economical two‐step melt polycondensation. Due to the slightly self‐crosslinking reaction of isosorbide, PICBAs exhibit excellent tensile strength and self‐healing ability, the mechanical properties of PICBAs can recover over 95% after 48 h under room temperature. In addition, PICBAs can stick different substances, such as glass, rubber, plastic, and stones, and show better adhesive performance than 3M commercially available double‐sided tape. Consequently, isosorbide‐based bioelastomers PICBAs are of great potential to be used as environmentally friendly pressure‐sensitive adhesives (PSA) in the future.
