An eco-friendly approach towards furanic-aliphatic polyesters as sustainable alternatives to aromaticaliphatic polyesters is presented. In this approach, biobased dimethyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate (DMFDCA) is polymerized with various ( potentially) renewable aliphatic diols via Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB)-catalyzed polymerization using a two-stage method in diphenyl ether. A series of furanic-aliphatic polyesters and oligoesters is successfully produced via enzymatic polymerization. Some products reach very high M w (weight average molecular weight) values of around 100 000 g mol −1 . Studies on the effect of the diol structure on the enzymatic polymerization indicate that CALB prefers long-chain alkane-α,ω-aliphatic linear diols containing more than 3 carbons. We also found that the molecular weights of the obtained furanic-aliphatic polyesters increase steadily with the increase of reaction temperature from 80 to 140°C. MALDI-ToF MS analysis reveals that five polyester species may be present in the final products.They were terminated with the ester/-OH, ester/ester, -OH/-OH, no end groups (cyclic), and ester/aldehyde groups, respectively. Furthermore, the structure-property relationships were studied by comparing the crystalline/thermal properties of a series of relevant furanic-aliphatic polyesters.

“…Taking the polyesters for example, by varying the type of diols, different polyesters derived from FDCA, such as poly(octylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (POF) [12], poly (ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF) [15,21], poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF) [22], poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBF) [23][24][25][26] and poly(hexamethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PHF) [27], have been synthesized. Among them, PEF might be the most promising one due to its higher glass transition temperature and better mechanical properties.…”

“…Among these established polymers, Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is the dominant one for beverage packaging due to its appropriate physical properties such as thermal, mechanical, optical and barrier properties. A closely related family of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA)-based polyesters, such as Poly(Ethylene-2,5-Furanoate) (PEF) and Poly(butylene-2,5-furan-dicarboxylate [1] (PBF), have received much attention. Notably, PEF has been the topic of many studies, on the one hand because of its comparable thermal, yet improved barrier properties when compared to PET and PBT [2,3] and on the other hand owing to its better processing economics, greenhouse gas balance and carbon footprint [4].…”
