“…75 Among them, BHMF and FDCA symmetrically functionalized with hydroxyl or carboxylic acid groups are promising options to replace fossil-based bi-functional aromatic monomers, such as terephthalic acid and dihydroxybenzene, in step-growth polymerization for polyester or polyurethane because furan-based monomers can also introduce a rigid ring structure into the generated polymer backbone. [76][77][78] In summary, cellulose is a polymer derived from plants and fruits, making it a cost-effective alternative compared to other chemicals produced through biorefinery processes. However, its inherent nature limits the potential for designing diverse polymers because it is not a small molecule.…”

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are based on a combination of the properties of plastic and elastomers, such as elasticity and processability. Although TPEs are known to be recyclable and reprocessible, their environmental impact remains a concern. To address this issue, researchers have focused on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly TPEs, synthesized from renewable bio‐based sources and capable of decomposing at the end of their lifecycle. Various approaches have been introduced to substitute conventional fossil‐based elastomers; however, limitations still exist in terms of mechanical properties, elastic recovery, cost‐effectiveness and degradability. In this perspective, previous distinguished related studies are discussed to provide valuable insights and guidance for the development of a novel sustainable TPE in the future.

“…The properties could be modulated by modifying the soft and hard segment compositions. 117 Triblock copolymerization via the ROP of l -lactide in the presence of dihydroxyl-terminated PMy precursor was performed by Zhou et al to obtain a fully biobased TPE. The resultant structure of the copolymer was ABA, where A is the PLLA block, which is hard and provides mechanical strength, and B is the PMy soft segment.…”

“…Moreover, the direct influence of PPAF incorporation on the overall stiffness of PTF‐based copolymers has been evaluated. On the other hand, several interesting studies have been published on the preparation of PBF‐containing copolymers, for instance with PTMG, 5 poly(ethylene glycol), 37 diglycolic acid, 38 dimerized fatty acids, 39 synthetic low‐molecular‐weight biobased polyester (PBSS), 40 or just recently polycaprolactone (PCL) 41 . Depending on the type and amount of soft segments, some of the above‐mentioned PBF‐based copolymers exhibited the characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers.…”

Two series of biobased poly(ether‐ester)s comprised of poly(hexamethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PHF) as the rigid segments and biopolytetrahydrofuran (pTHF) with different molecular masses (1000 and 2000 g/mol) as the flexible segments were synthesized employing polycondensation in the molten state. The study mainly focuses on comparing these two series in terms of the length of the flexible segment. The content of pTHF segments in the copolymer chains varied from 25 to 75 wt.%. The molecular structure and composition, phase structure, and thermal and mechanical properties were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier‐transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). In addition, mechanical performance and thermo‐oxidative and thermal stability have been investigated. Moreover, cyclic tensile properties were studied to evaluate the elastic properties. 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopies demonstrate that the syntheses were correctly carried out, which made it possible to obtain the desired compositions of the block copolymers with high molecular masses. The decrease in Tm1, Tc1, and XcPHF values was visible, along with the increase in the flexible segment content. Moreover, the characteristic properties measured by PALS and the values of temperatures designated from TGA (inert and oxidizing atmosphere) did not vary between copolymer series PHF‐b‐F‐pTHF1000 and PHF‐b‐F‐pTHF2000. In turn, along with an increase in flexible segment content and the length of the pTHF, the values of tensile modulus, stress at break, and hardness decrease, while the value of elongation at break increases.
