Abstract

Renewable polyesters with a good balance between impact strength and elastic modulus are rare, especially when combined with a high glass transition temperature (T_g). Meeting such performance would enable the substitution of polymers like acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate with chemically recyclable polyesters from bio-based, CO₂-based, or recycled sources. Recently, we showed that the low reactivity of isosorbide can be overcome. The synthesized copolyesters are very competitive regarding the goals of T_g, modulus, and impact strength. CO₂-based oxalate esters and isosorbide are an intriguing monomer combination. These polyesters offer a combination of outstanding mechanical-, thermal-, and barrier properties in combination with unique home compostability and marine degradability. In this minireview, we will highlight some recent polymer technology developments on high T_g (co)polyesters and we look at the recent behavior of consumers on their willingness to pay for sustainability, which can create a strong market pull that can help to accelerate the plastic materials transition.

2,5-呋喃二甲酸、异山梨酯和草酸合成可持续高Tg （co）聚酯的最新进展。表现和社会观点

在冲击强度和弹性模量之间有良好平衡的可再生聚酯是罕见的，特别是当与高玻璃化转变温度（Tg）结合时。达到这样的性能将使丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯（ABS）和聚碳酸酯等聚合物能够被生物基、二氧化碳基或可回收来源的化学可回收聚酯取代。最近，我们发现异山梨酯的低反应性是可以克服的。合成的共聚酯在Tg、模量和冲击强度方面具有很强的竞争力。以二氧化碳为基础的草酸酯和异山梨酯是一个有趣的单体组合。这些聚酯提供了杰出的机械、热、屏障性能，结合独特的家庭堆肥性和海洋降解性。在这篇小型综述中，我们将重点介绍高Tg （co）聚酯的一些最新聚合物技术发展，并研究最近消费者愿意为可持续性付费的行为，这可以创造一个强大的市场拉动，有助于加速塑料材料的转型。
