“…Renewable polymers and their precursors have recently attracted significant interest as alternatives to petroleum-based products, with the focus on efficiently converting abundant, low-cost renewable raw materials into innovative monomers. 1,2 Among these, furanic materials have gained prominence due to their renewable nature and accessibility from widely available bio-based feedstocks. 3–5 Notably, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), derived from dehydrating hexoses in biomass, is a key precursor capable of yielding various valuable derivatives.…”
