Synthesis of the bio-based polyester poly(propylene 2,5-furan dicarboxylate). Comparison of thermal behavior and solid state structure with its terephthalate and naphthalate homologues

New functional nanocomposites based on poly(trimethylene 2,5-furanoate) and few layer graphene prepared by in situ polymerization

“…In contrast to its terephthalate homologue (PTT), which exhibits semicrystalline behavior with melting temperature (T m ) at ~228°C and crystallization temperature (T c ) at ~183°C (heating and cooling rates of 10°C/min) [56], PTF at the same conditions found to be an amorphous thermoplastic polyester with no crystallization and melting temperatures ( Figure 3). The glass transition temperature (T g ) for neat PTF is equal to 58°C, which is slightly higher than that observed for melt quenched PTF by Papageorgiou et al [20]. Notwithstanding, the incorporation of FLG into PTF matrix didn't cause any changes in the glass transition temperature.…”

“…The molecular characterization and transition temperatures have been reported by Jiang et al [19]. Still, the in-depth comparative study of a thermal behavior and solid state structure of PTF, in comparison to its terephthalate and naphthalate homologues, has been performed by Papageorgiou et al [20]. However, there is no study on how the addition of carbon nanofillers, like graphene nanoplatelets, affect structural, thermal, mechanical etc.…”

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

“…10 Afterwards, Gandini prepared several poly(2,5-furandicarboxylate)s, mainly by solution or interfacial polycondensation. To this purpose, some papers reported the preparation of such polyesters by melt polycondensation starting from the FDCA-dimethyl ester 5,11,12 and, recently, from FDCA, thus avoiding the methyl-esterification step and the production of methanol.

Modification of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) with 1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene: Influence of composition on mechanical and barrier properties

“…Taking the polyesters for example, by varying the type of diols, different polyesters derived from FDCA, such as poly(octylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (POF) [12], poly (ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF) [15,21], poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF) [22], poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBF) [23][24][25][26] and poly(hexamethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PHF) [27], have been synthesized. Among them, PEF might be the most promising one due to its higher glass transition temperature and better mechanical properties.…”
