Poly(1,20-eicosanediyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate), a biodegradable polyester from renewable resources
2017
Abstract Furanic-very-long-aliphatic polyester based on 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and 1,20-eicosanediol was introduced as a new polymer from renewable resources that is biodegradable. This poly(1,20-eicosanediyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate) ( PE20F ) was extensively characterised by means of FTIR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, SEC, DSC, TGA, sorption experiments, water contact angles and biodegradation tests. PE20F has a melting temperature of 107 °C, a glass transition around 7 °C and moreover has a water contact angle of 96°, but nevertheless PE20F biodegraded.
