“…The 1 H NMR spectrum of PEF in C 2 F 6 CDOD was entirely similar to that taken previously in TFA, 10 with two singlets with an integration ratio of 2, at 4.80 and 7.31 ppm, attributed respectively to the methylene and furan H3 + H4 protons. The 13 C NMR spectrum given in Fig.…”

“…These pristine PEFs displayed a high degree of crystallinity, as indicated by their X-ray diffraction pattern 10 and DSC thermograms (Fig. 3), the latter giving a melting temperature around 210 C and a Tg, after quenching, close to 80 C. A second scan, run after cooling PEFs slowly from the melt, only showed a melting endotherm at 212 C, corroborating their high aptitude to crystallise.…”

The polymerisation of furan monomers and the exploitation of some of the chemical peculiarities of the furan heterocycle have generated a wide diversity of macromolecular materials based on renewable resources. We present here recent contributions to this field, including ongoing studies on the synthesis and characterisation of novel furan polyesters and on the application of the Diels-Alder reaction to the preparation of linear and branched thermally reversible polyadducts.

“…[5] Moreover, due to its similar structure to terephthalic acid (PTA)-a monomer for the production of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET plastic)-renewable FDCA obtained from biomass has a great potential to replace PTA. [6][7][8][9][10] Therefore, the exploration of the efficient oxidation of HMF and production of FDCA is a significant and commercially viable alternative process to the petroleum approach.…”

Au nanoclusters with an average size of approximately 1 nm size supported on HY zeolite exhibit a superior catalytic performance for the selective oxidation of 5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐furfural (HMF) into 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). It achieved >99 % yield of 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid in water under mild conditions (60 °C, 0.3 MPa oxygen), which is much higher than that of Au supported on metal oxides/hydroxide (TiO2, CeO2, and Mg(OH)2) and channel‐type zeolites (ZSM‐5 and H‐MOR). Detailed characterizations, such as X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N2‐physisorption, and H2‐temperature‐programmed reduction (TPR), revealed that the Au nanoclusters are well encapsulated in the HY zeolite supercage, which is considered to restrict and avoid further growing of the Au nanoclusters into large particles. The acidic hydroxyl groups of the supercage were proven to be responsible for the formation and stabilization of the gold nanoclusters. Moreover, the interaction between the hydroxyl groups in the supercage and the Au nanoclusters leads to electronic modification of the Au nanoparticles, which is supposed to contribute to the high efficiency in the catalytic oxidation of HMF to FDCA.

“…2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been recognized as a useful monomer for furanbased polyesters [24e29]. For example, poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF) has been synthesized by Gandini and his co-workers [27], as a furan counterpart of PET. Studies on the copolymerization of FDCA with different diols have also been reported recently [26,30].…”
