Poly-(ethylene furanoate) (PEF), a fully biobased polyester derived from renewable feedstocks, has emerged as one of the most promising candidates. With superior gas-barrier performance, strong mechanical properties, and the potential for lower carbon emissions, PEF has attracted significant attention as a viable material to replace PET in several applications. This perspective presents an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of scientific and technological developments in PEF, tracing progress from its early discovery to its current industrial relevance. Particular emphasis is placed on the chemistry of PEF synthesis, including recent advances in greener pathways, as well as the structure-property relationships that refer to its superior thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties compared to PET. Performance characteristics arising from chemical structure and molecular modifications are also discussed. The review further examines the present landscape of PEF recycling, covering mechanical, chemical, and emerging enzymatic methods and integrates findings from recent life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis studies to evaluate its environmental and economic viability. Industrial applications and associated challenges are explored, with a focus on packaging, where PEF's barrier and mechanical advantages offer clear benefits over PET and multilayer systems. The paper concludes by outlining key research gaps that must be addressed to enable scalable, circular, and industrial deployment of the PEF.</p>","PeriodicalId":72049,"journal":{"name":"ACS polymers Au","volume":"6 2","pages":"535-564"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13067175/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147679243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical copolymers with variable butylene oxide (BO) and glycidol (G) content provide precise modulation of amphiphilicity while maintaining water solubility and stability under in situ polymerization conditions. Across the BO:G gradient, multimodal analyses (TEM, cryo-TEM, DLS, AFM, SAXS, SLS, and ITC) reveal a continuous transition from hydrated, deformable G-rich NSs to compact, lamellar BO-rich structures with reduced hydration and enhanced rigidity. SAXS and AFM jointly establish that BO-induced hydrophobic interactions drive internal densification and structural ordering. Mechanical stretching of embedded NSs yielded NEs with modest aspect ratios (1.6-1.9), compared with previous reports on PIBCA/chitosan NEs. ITC experiments showed a correlation between the aspect ratio and the strength of interaction between PVA and the copolymers. The combined results demonstrate that copolymer architecture alone can encode interfacial structure and mechanical response without altering size or charge.

Their broad glass transition temperature range, self-assembly potential, and amphiphilic behavior, if they consist of hydrophilic and hydrophobic comonomer units, enable applications in damping materials, drug delivery, and cosmetics. Moreover, they are interesting potential substitutes for block copolymers based on their much simpler and cheaper production process. However, gradient copolymers are not as simple as often presumed because they emerge from less trivial monomer inclusion probability profiles that are determined by monomer reactivity ratios and/or feeding profiles. As a result, gradient copolymers exhibit significant compositional heterogeneity, even under idealized conditions (fast chain initiation; no side reactions; and no diffusional limitations). This perspective highlights the critical importance of compositional control and structural evaluation in gradient (tapered) copolymer synthesis, highlighting the relevance of calculating a set of structural deviation (SD) metrics using coupled matrix-based Monte Carlo (CMMC) simulations to assess structural quality. In parallel to experimental protocol development and design, SD metrics such as the average SD (⟨SD⟩), SD standard deviation (σ<sub>SD</sub>), SD skewness ( <math><msub><mi>μ̃</mi> <mrow><mn>3</mn> <mo>,</mo> <mrow><mi>S</mi> <mi>D</mi></mrow> </mrow> </msub> </math> ), and coefficient of variation (CV<sub>SD</sub>) can be used to assess whether improved synthesis protocols are worthwhile or not.

To advance the sustainable development of functionalized PI with additional new features while promoting the elasticity and mechanical properties, our group proposes a straightforward one-step free radical-mediated thiol-ene reaction using l-cysteine (LC) as a biodegradable compound that bears three main functional groups consisting of thiol, carboxylic acid, and amine. The thiol group is covalently attached to the PI double bonds via free radical thiol-ene chemistry, while the carboxylic acid and amine groups facilitate noncovalent cross-linking through dynamic hydrogen bonds. As the LC content increases, the functionalized PI-LC-X (with <i>X</i> = 10, 30, and 50 denoting the percentage of LC units attached to the PI double bonds) exhibits a synergistic enhancement in the mechanical strength and elasticity. Among them, PI-LC-30 represents the optimal performance in self-healing ability, achieving 100% recovery of toughness at room temperature along with excellent recyclability through acid hydrolysis. This outstanding behavior is attributed to the well-controlled ideal radical thiol-ene reaction (anti-Markovnikov addition), which prevents unwanted chain extension or interchain cross-linking and preserves the linear structure of PI. Maintaining this structural integrity is vital for recyclability, as acid hydrolysis selectively disrupts the reversible hydrogen bonds while keeping the covalent thioether linkages intact, enabling the regeneration of PI-LC-X films with properties closely matching the original material. This strategy effectively addresses polarity mismatch and recyclability challenges, offering a sustainable pathway for functionalizing diene rubbers.</p>","PeriodicalId":72049,"journal":{"name":"ACS polymers Au","volume":"6 2","pages":"645-658"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13067166/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147679159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citric acid, for example, is a biobased, nontoxic, cheap, and easily available resource. Its multifunctionality enables the synthesis of polyesters with free carboxy groups, thus providing possibilities for further functionalization and cross-linking. Citric acid and dimethylolpropionic acid were used to synthesize water-soluble polyesters via melt polycondensation at 150 °C without the need for potentially hazardous catalysts. The resulting polyesters displayed a significant amount of free carboxylic acid groups (8 mmol g<sub>polyester</sub> <sup>-1</sup>), and reasonable number-average molar masses up to 5200 g mol<sup>-1</sup>. Via postsynthetical (partial) neutralization procedures using KOH, charged moieties could be successfully incorporated to further increase hydrophilicity. The degree of neutralization proved to be well controllable. This enables tunability of the final properties, as remaining free carboxy groups can be used for further modifications. Alternative to carboxylate moieties, the introduction of sulfonate groups promotes hydrophilicity. For this purpose, unsaturated polyesters were synthesized that contained varying amounts of maleic anhydride as a third monomer. Postsynthetical sulfonation was performed via the Michael addition of sodium sulfite, introducing a significant number of sulfonate groups. Neutralization and sulfonation were performed in aqueous solution, leading to slight decreases in molar mass due to hydrolysis. The extent of the reduction was successfully reduced by optimizing both procedures. The synthesized water-soluble polyesters carry a substantial number of functional groups.
