[PMID: 38966239 PMCID: PMC11220794 DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.4c02266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Oxalate esters and isosorbide serve as intriguing polymer building blocks, as they can be sourced from renewable resources, such as CO2 and glucose, and the resulting polyesters offer outstanding material properties. However, the low reactivity of the secondary hydroxyl groups makes it difficult to generate high-molecular-weight polymers from isosorbide. Combining diaryl oxalates with isosorbide appears to be a promising approach to produce high-molecular-weight isosorbide-based polyoxalates (PISOX). This strategy seems to be scalable, has a short polymerization time (<5 h), and uniquely, there is no need for a catalyst. PISOX demonstrates outstanding thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties; its barrier to oxygen is 35 times better than PLA, it possesses mechanical properties comparable to high-performance thermoplastics, and the glass transition temperature of 167 °C can be modified by comonomer incorporation. What makes this high-performance material truly exceptional is that it decomposes into CO2 and biomass in just a few months in soil under home-composting conditions and it hydrolyzes without enzymes present in less than a year in 20 °C water. This unique combination of properties has the potential to be utilized in a range of applications, such as biomedical uses, water-resistant coatings, compostable plastic bags for gardening and agriculture, and packaging plastics with diminished environmental impact.

Abstract
To reduce the global CO2 footprint of plastics, bio- and CO2-based feedstock are considered the most important design features for plastics. Oxalic acid from CO2 and isosorbide from biomass are interesting rigid building blocks for high Tg polyesters. The biodegradability of a family of novel fully renewable (bio- and CO2-based) poly(isosorbide-co-diol) oxalate (PISOX-diol) copolyesters was studied. We systematically investigated the effects of the composition on biodegradation at ambient temperature in soil for PISOX (co)polyesters. Results show that the lag phase of PISOX (co)polyester biodegradation varies from 0 to 7 weeks. All (co)polyesters undergo over 80% mineralization within 180 days (faster than the cellulose reference) except one composition with the cyclic codiol 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM). Their relatively fast degradability is independent of the type of noncyclic codiol and results from facile nonenzymatic hydrolysis of oxalate ester bonds (especially oxalate isosorbide bonds), which mostly hydrolyzed completely within 180 days. On the other hand, partially replacing oxalate with terephthalate units enhances the polymer's resistance to hydrolysis and its biodegradability in soil. Our study demonstrates the potential for tuning PISOX copolyester structures to design biodegradable plastics with improved thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties.

Abstract
High boiling point phenolic reactive solvents like p-cresol could play a key role in improving the synthesis of aromatic polyesters with a high content of secondary diols such as isosorbide. Previously, our group showed that this method significantly improves the synthesis of poly(isosorbide succinate). In this work, terephthalic acid and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid were used as building blocks for the synthesis of high Tg polyesters with high isosorbide content (>30 mol% of diols) and high molecular weight (Mn > 24 kg mol-1). A number of reactive and non-reactive solvents were tested in this work, and the results clearly point to a significant improvement when using reactive solvents, in terms of molecular weight and polycondensation time, especially for the case of p-cresol. The synthesis method was successfully scaled to 1 kg, showing promise for production at industrial scale. A method to remove these solvents (including end groups) from the polymers, which uses small excesses of isosorbide (1.5-3.0%) in the feed, is also presented.

Abstract
Sustainable development greatly benefits from the effective synthesis of bio-based copolymers that are environmentally friendly. To enhance the polymerization reactivity for the production of poly(ethylene-co-isosorbide terephthalate) (PEIT), five highly active Ti-M (M = Mg, Zn, Al, Fe, and Cu) bimetallic coordination catalysts were designed. The catalytic activity of Ti-M bimetallic coordination catalysts and single Sb- or Ti-based catalysts was compared, and the effects of catalysts with a different type of coordination metal (Mg, Zn, Al, Fe, and Cu) on the thermodynamic and crystallization properties of copolyesters were explored. In polymerization, it was found that Ti-M bimetallic catalysts with 5 ppm (Ti) had higher catalytic activity than traditional antimony-based catalysts or Ti-based catalysts with 200 ppm (Sb) or 5 ppm (Ti). The Ti-Al coordination catalyst showed the best-improved reaction rate of isosorbide among the five transition metals used. Utilizing Ti-M bimetallic catalysts, a high-quality PEIT was successfully synthesized with the highest number-average molecular weight of 2.82 × 104 g/mol and the narrowest molecular weight distribution index of 1.43. The glass-transition temperature of PEIT reached 88.3 °C, allowing the copolyesters to be used in applications requiring a higher Tg, like hot filling. The crystallization kinetics of copolyesters prepared by some Ti-M catalysts was faster than that of copolyesters prepared by conventional titanium catalysts.

Abstract
Stereochemistry in polymers can be used as an effective tool to control the mechanical and physical properties of the resulting materials. Typically, though, in synthetic polymers, differences among polymer stereoisomers leads to incremental property variation, i.e., no changes to the baseline plastic or elastic behavior. Here we show that stereochemical differences in sugar-based monomers yield a family of nonsegmented, alternating polyurethanes that can be either strong amorphous thermoplastic elastomers with properties that exceed most cross-linked rubbers or robust, semicrystalline thermoplastics with properties comparable to commercial plastics. The stereochemical differences in the monomers direct distinct intra- and interchain supramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions in the bulk materials to define their behavior. The chemical similarity among these isohexide-based polymers enables both statistical copolymerization and blending, which each afford independent control over degradability and mechanical properties. The modular molecular design of the polymers provides an opportunity to create a family of materials with divergent properties that possess inherently built degradability and outstanding mechanical performance.

Abstract
Recently, bio-based electrospun nanofiber mats (ENMs) have gained substantial attention for preparing polymer-based biomaterials intended for use in cell culture. Herein, we prepared poly(ethylene-glycol 1,4-Cyclohexane dimethylene-isosorbide-terephthalate) (PEICT) ENMs using the electrospinning technique. Cell adhesion and cell viability of PEICT ENMs were checked by fibroblast cell culture. Field emission electron microscope (FE-SEM) image showed a randomly interconnected fiber network, smooth morphology, and cell adhesion on PEICT ENM. Fibroblasts were cultured in an adopted cell culturing environment on the surface of PEICT ENMs to confirm their biocompatibility and cell viability. Additionally, the chemical structure of PEICT ENM was checked under Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and the results were supported by -ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy. The water contact angle (WCA) test showed the hydrophobic behavior of PEICT ENMs in parallel to good fibroblast cell adhesion. Hence, the results confirmed that PEICT ENMs can be potentially utilized as a biomaterial.

Abstract
To improve the dimensional thermal stability of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a poly(ethylene glycol 1,4-cyclohexane dimethylene (CHDM) isosorbide (ISB) terephthalate) (PEICT) known as ECOZEN®T110 (EZT) was introduced into PET using a melt blending technique. The miscibility, morphology, and thermal properties of the PET/EZT samples were investigated. The introduction of amorphous EZT into semi-crystalline PET increased the glass transition temperature (Tg) but decreased the crystallinity, which could be related to the transesterification reaction. By adding EZT contents up to 20%, the PET/EZT samples showed a single Tg, which indicated the miscibility between PET and EZT. However, two Tg values were observed in the PET/EZT samples with higher EZT contents (30–70%), indicating partial miscibility. This may have been due to the slightly different rheological and thermodynamic parameters that were affected by a higher ratio of bulky (rigid ISB and ductile CHDM) groups in EZT. However, the heat distortion temperature of the PET/EZT samples remarkably increased, which indicated that the dimensional stability was truly enhanced. Although the crystallinity of the PET/EZT samples decreased with increasing EZT content, the tensile strength and Young’s modulus decreased slightly. Based on these results, the as-prepared PET/EZT samples with high dimensional stability can be used as a high-temperature polymeric material in various applications.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene-co-isosorbide terephthalate) (PEIT) copolyesters could be used in various applications depending on their ability to crystallize. Moreover, the possibility to carry out solid-state post-condensation (SSP) is conditioned by its ability to sufficiently crystallize. The present study, thus, gives a systematic investigation of isothermal crystallization of these statistical copolyesters with isosorbide contents ranging from 4.8 to 20.8 mol.%. For each copolyester composition, the lowest isothermal half crystallization times and the highest Avrami constant (K) were obtained around 170 °C. Over the range of composition that was studied, both melting points and melting enthalpies decreased with increasing amounts of isosorbide (from 250 to 207 °C and from 55 to 28 J/g, respectively). On the contrary, half crystallization time displayed an exponential increase when increasing isosorbide contents in the studied range. Finally, structural and thermal analysis of PIT homopolyester are reported for the first time, showing that only ET moieties crystallized when PEIT was subjected to isothermal crystallization at 170 °C.

Abstract
Exo-OH on ISB has long been asserted as a highly reactive moiety compared with endo-OH. Herein, we report that the nucleophilic attack surmounts steric hindrance in rendering endo-OH more reactive than exo-OH in case of transesterification with DPC.

Abstract
Bio-based polyesters are a new class of materials that are expected to replace their fossil-based homologues in the near future. In this work, poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF) nanocomposites with graphene nanoplatelets were prepared via the in-situ melt polycondensation method. The chemical structure of the resulting polymers was confirmed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Thermal stability, decomposition kinetics and the decomposition mechanism of the PPF nanocomposites were studied in detail. According to thermogravimetric analysis results, graphene nanoplatelets did nοt affect the thermal stability of PPF at levels of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 wt.%, but caused a slight increase in the activation energy values. Pyrolysis combined with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy revealed that the decomposition mechanism of the polymer was not altered by the presence of graphene nanoplatelets but the extent of secondary homolytic degradation reactions was increased.
