Synthesis and properties of a bio-based epoxy resin from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA)

“…12 Due to its structure similarity to that of terephthalic acid (TPA) and rapid progress on large scale production technology, FDCA might be one of the most promising bio-based compounds for TPA substitute. In fact, more and more explorations on the synthesis of polyester, [13][14][15][16][17] polyamide [18][19][20] and polyurethane [21][22][23][24] containing FDCA units have been reported. FDCA has shown a huge potential in the synthesis of bio-based plastics with enhanced properties.…”
