“…Since molecular weight significantly impacts the properties of polymers, including thermal stability, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and low shrinkage, higher molecular weights are generally associated with enhanced performance due to larger molecular sizes, reduced chain diffusion, increased chain parking, and entanglements, and stronger intermolecular interactions 124,128 . Moreover, the molecular weight of a polymer ultimately influences the properties of carbon materials derived from it, such as strength, porosity, surface area, dielectric features, and heterogeneity 129–134 .

This review dives into the intricate chemistry of furfuryl alcohol (FA) polymerization, a critical process for producing FA‐based resins (oligomers and polymers). Despite over a century of studies, the complexity of FA resinification continues to intrigue scientists, engendering extensive discourses. The inherent complexity and heterogeneity of FA resins have thwarted attempts to propose a universally applicable structural elucidation, prompting the investigation of numerous proposed mechanisms. Drawing upon an extensive corpus of literature, we survey various proposed mechanisms and representative structural attributes of a range of FA polymeric systems. The insights from a rich tapestry of experimental evidence collectively illuminate the manifold intermediates and pathways that characterize various FA polymerization techniques. A critical appraisal of prevailing debates and counterarguments offers a nuanced perspective on the diverse facets of FA polymerization chemistry. Moreover, this work underscores the latent potential of biobased chemistry, from the perspective of furan chemistry, as a potent catalyst for driving the essential objectives of de‐fossilization and sustainability within the chemical and materials industries. Subsequently, it provides valuable insights into the present state of knowledge on FA polymerization, thereby serving as a vanguard for delineating future research trajectories in this captivating field.

“…FA can polymerise to PFA resin, which can be brought about by prolonged exposure to open air, oxygen, elevated temperatures, acidic substances, sufficient UV radiation or ultrasonic vibrations, or combinations thereof [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Notwithstanding, the conventional preparation techniques for PFA resins are the use of catalytic systems (e.g., transition metal catalysts, halogenated and nitrated compounds, etc.)…”

This study represents a significant stride in advancing furan chemistry, presenting the synthesis of high-molecular-weight polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA) resin (Mw = 118,959 g/mol) from furfuryl alcohol (FA) using a co-catalytic system as against the conventional single-catalytic methods. The resulting PFA resin is fully characterised, and we conclude that it exhibits good shelf life and potential in diverse applications, serving as a standalone moulded material or contributing to composites, coatings, adhesives, and nanostructured carbons.
