“…T d, 5% of PBFCL increases with arising furanic moieties, suggesting that the existence of aromatic furanic units (BF) in the copolyester chain promotes thermal stability. All in all, PBFCL demonstrates excellent thermal stability, which is comparable or even better than those of aliphatic polyesters [26,27]. DMA analysis, a normally used technique in the detection of polymer relaxation, confirms the presence of one clear relaxation of all PBFCL on tanδ graphs (Figure 4d).…”

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%.

“…In 2009, Gandini et al 7 published a detailed description of synthesis and properties of PEF, showing that this homopolyester is semicrystalline, displaying accordingly in its differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogram a glass transition (T g ) around 75-80 o C (second heating after quenching) and a melting endotherm (T m ) at 210-215 o C. 7,9,10 PEF also showed to be thermally stable up to approximately 300 o C, 7,9 and decomposing mainly via β-hydrogen bond scission. 99 Several other studies enlarged PEF's properties panorama, describing its mechanical behaviour, deeply investigating its thermal properties or describing the kinetics of crystallisation, etc. In 2012 Zhou et al 11 and in 2013 van Es et al 12 studied its mechanical profile by tensile testing and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA).…”

Biobased polyesters and other polymers from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid: a tribute to furan excellency

et al. 2015

Motivated by a general concern on sustainability and environmental issues, a sparkling search for renewable-based polymers has grown exponentially in recent years. This search definitely spotlighted polyesters derived from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, among other polymers, as some of the most promising, especially due to the resemblance of this renewable monomer to the well-known petroleum-based terephthalic acid, as well as for the possibility of preparing innovative materials. The huge number of recent papers and patents about this family of polymers explore aspects such diverse as synthesis with other renewable-based monomers, leading to the preparation of materials with enhanced thermo-mechanical, biodegradability and liquid crystalline properties, among other features. Additional aspects pursued in such studies are innovation in the synthetic approaches or its optimisation; and also the development of applications for everyday-life objects like for example packaging materials, especially bottles, textiles, coating, toners, among many other uses. Despite this intense activity little has been reviewed recently about this unique family of polyesters, or derived polymers, as the only reviews on the subject date-back from the last century. In this perspective, the present appraisal aims at contributing to fulfil this literature gap, covering recent aspects related with challenges of developing polyesters, polyamides, or other polymers from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and their precursors. Emphasis is placed on monomer synthesis, polymerisation reactions, catalysts and applications.A tribute to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid excellency and the myriad of novel polyesters, but also polyamides, among other polycondensates, is comprehensively done.

Fully biobased poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) for packaging applications: excellent barrier properties as a function of crystallinity

High molecular weight, amorphous poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) has been aged at 135°C for different times. The crystal phase contributes to achieve exceptionally low oxygen transmission rates and also good impermeability to water vapors, making PPF one of the most interesting fully biobased polyesters for packaging applications. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Synthesis of PPF, film preparation and ageing experiments are provided. 1 H NMR, DSC, WAXD and DMTA characterization, density and permeability measurements are described.
