“…This work confirms that the FDCA‐based polyesters indeed occupy antibacterial properties which is suitable for used as artificial skin and have never been reported before. Also, the better antibacterial rate for PEAFs can be obtain by blending with antibacterial fillers, such as antibacterial chitosan nanoparticles and silver chloride 50–52 …”

“…Also, the better antibacterial rate for PEAFs can be obtain by blending with antibacterial fillers, such as antibacterial chitosan nanoparticles and silver chloride. [50][51][52] 4 | CONCLUSION In summary, a series of fully bio-based copolyesters named PEAFs were synthesized by polymerizing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, dimethyl adipate, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol in this work. Experimental results confirm that the introduction of adipic acid and diethylene glycol will lead to PEAFs with lower glass transition temperature and tensile modulus but higher elongation at break.…”

The new self‐healing and biodegradable copolyesters, poly(ethylene‐co‐diethylene glycol adipate‐co‐furanoate) (PEAF), were synthesized from 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid, dimethyl adipate, diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol by transesterification and polycondensation. Their number average molecular weight (Mn) varied from 49,400 g/mol to 71,500 g/mol while the polydispersity index ranged from 1.47 to 1.97. The study showed that by adjusting the proportion of adipate segments from 25 mol% to 65 mol%, the tensile modulus was found to be ranging from 4.95 to 0.29 MPa at room temperature, which was close to or even lower than the modulus of human skin. The excellent biodegradability of PEAFs was certified by the weight loss of 34.5% to 80.9% during enzymatic degradation. Finally, self‐healing properties were also discovered in PEAFs and the fastest self‐healing rate observed was 23.1 μm/h for PEAF‐65 at 37 °C. Due to these outstanding properties, PEAFs absolutely possess the potential to be used as human soft tissues, electronic skin, human‐machine interface and so on.
