“…As shown in Table 1, the actual composition of the resultant copolyester could be controlled by the feed ratio of FDCA to CL mono mers. The PDI is among 2.11 to 3.49 and the broad polymer diversity is ascribed to the existence of impurities in bio-based FDCA and decarboxylation of 2,5-FDCA under reaction conditions [13]. The weigh-average molecular weights of obtained PBFCL samples are among 8.05 to 40.7 kg/mol.…”

“…They were random copolymers whose composition was well controlled by the feed ratio of the diacid monomers. The ability of the copolymer to crystallize was drastically reduced with the addition of the comonomer and consequently increase of the elongation at break of the polymer [13]. These FDCA based polyesters have shown great prospective to replace their petroleumbased counterparts applied as plastic products [3,8].…”

Abstract.A new bio-based elastomer, poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate-ε-caprolactone) (PBFCL), has been synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, 1,4-butanediol, and ε-caprolactone successfully for the first time. The obtained copolyester was characterized in terms of chemical structure, thermal and mechanical properties, and enzymatic degradability. In PBFCL elastomer, butylene-2,5-furandiacrboxylate units (hard segments) crystallize to serve as physical crosslinks while ε-caprolactone polyester diol (soft segments) provide flexibility. PBFCL is a multi-blocked copolyester with randomly distributed rigid and soft segments. It possesses original feature of high strength and biodegradability stemming from the uses of aromatic and aliphatic monomers respectively. An important aspect of this new furanic-aliphatic polyester is its tailor-made properties simply achieved by changing the content of hard or soft segments. Typically, PBFCL-40 of optimal composition has Young's modulus as low as 15.4 MPa, tensile strength as high 24.8 MPa, and elongation as long as 885%.

“…These include, among others, 2,5-furanedicarboxylic acid (FDCA) synthesized from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) [7]. It was identified as one of the twelve most promising compounds of vegetal origin for the synthesis of polymeric materials including polyurethanes, polyamides and polyesters [2,4,5,8,9] as well as their copolymers with elastomeric properties.…”

“…It was identified as one of the twelve most promising compounds of vegetal origin for the synthesis of polymeric materials including polyurethanes, polyamides and polyesters [2,4,5,8,9] as well as their copolymers with elastomeric properties. Polyesters that contain furan moieties in their structures, have been widely investigated for decades, starting with Moore and Kelly's pioneering research about thirty years ago [10] and continuing with some recent studies [7,[11][12][13]. Nevertheless, the synthesis of the furan homologue of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET), i.e.…”

“…It is produced industrially via dehydration of sorbitol, the latter being obtained by hydrogenation of glucose. Isosorbide is also a good candidate for the replacement of bisphenol A, which is toxic, and has also gained high importance in recent years for the production of novel materials for food packaging applications, like furanoate polyesters [7][8][9][10]. An important drawback must however be tackled when considering its insertion into PET.…”

Bimetallic Catalytic Systems Based on Sb, Ge and Ti for the Synthesis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isosorbide terephthalate)

Abstract:The insertion of rigid monomers such as isosorbide into poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) allows for the access of polymers with improved properties, notably in terms of thermal stability. This biobased monomer is however poorly reactive, and harsh reaction conditions lead to color concerns regarding the resulting polymer. This has motivated the development of catalytic systems enabling an increase of the reaction rate and a good coloration. In this study, we have assessed bimetallic catalytic systems based on the main metals used for PET catalysis, i.e., antimony, germanium and titanium, for the synthesis of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isosorbide terephthalate) (PEIT). The Sb 2 O 3 /Ti(OiPr) 4 combination leads to a high reaction rate while maintaining an acceptable coloration. On the other hand, combining Sb 2 O 3 with GeO 2 affords the formation of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isosorbide terephthalate) without coloration concerns and a reaction rate higher than that observed using the single metal catalysts. Molecular weights and microstructure including diethyleneglycol (DEG) and isosorbide contents are also discussed, together with the thermal properties of the resulting PEIT. The GeO 2 /Ti(OiPr) 4 is also assessed, and leads to average performances.
