Depolymerized Poly(ethylene-2,5-furanoate) as a Sustainable Feedstock for Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resins
This study describes the chemical upcycling of poly(ethylene-2,5-furanoate) (PEF) waste into biobased thermosetting materials. High molar-mass PEF of intrinsic viscosity of 1.04 dL/g, serving as a model of postconsumer PEF, was synthesized by melt polymerization followed by solid-state polymerization. After characterization, PEF was depolymerized by glycolysis to give a mixture of hydroxy-terminated oligomers suitable as a raw material for the production of styrene-free unsaturated polyester resins. It was exemplified in a series of formulations that use biobased itaconic acid as a source of polyester unsaturation and biobased dimethyl itaconate as a reactive diluent. Mechanical and thermoanalytic testing of the cured formulations indicates that biobased materials produced in this way can serve as an equal substitute for fossil-based polyester resins currently used in the industry.
期刊介绍:
Macromolecules publishes original, fundamental, and impactful research on all aspects of polymer science. Topics of interest include synthesis (e.g., controlled polymerizations, polymerization catalysis, post polymerization modification, new monomer structures and polymer architectures, and polymerization mechanisms/kinetics analysis); phase behavior, thermodynamics, dynamic, and ordering/disordering phenomena (e.g., self-assembly, gelation, crystallization, solution/melt/solid-state characteristics); structure and properties (e.g., mechanical and rheological properties, surface/interfacial characteristics, electronic and transport properties); new state of the art characterization (e.g., spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, rheology), simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, multi-scale/coarse-grained modeling), and theoretical methods. Renewable/sustainable polymers, polymer networks, responsive polymers, electro-, magneto- and opto-active macromolecules, inorganic polymers, charge-transporting polymers (ion-containing, semiconducting, and conducting), nanostructured polymers, and polymer composites are also of interest. Typical papers published in Macromolecules showcase important and innovative concepts, experimental methods/observations, and theoretical/computational approaches that demonstrate a fundamental advance in the understanding of polymers.
