Mechanical Behaviour and Induced Microstructural Development upon Simultaneous and Balanced Biaxial Stretching of Poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate), PEF. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15030661. [PMID: 36771961 PMCID: PMC9919262 DOI: 10.3390/polym15030661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The biaxial behavior of PEF has been analyzed for equilibrated and simultaneous biaxial stretching. The ability of PEF to develop an organized microstructure through strain induced crystallization (SIC) has been described. Upon biaxial stretching, SIC can be difficult to perform because the stretching is performed in two perpendicular directions. However, thanks to the time/temperature superposition principle and an accurate heating protocol, relevant stretching settings have been chosen to stretch the material in its rubbery-like state and to reach high levels of deformation. By the protocol applied, the mechanical behavior is easily transposable to the industry. This work has shown that PEF can, as in uniaxial stretching, develop well-organized crystals and a defined microstructure upon biaxial stretching. This microstructure allows the obtention of improved mechanical properties and thermal stability of the biaxially stretched samples. The crystals induced upon biaxial stretching are similar to the one that has been developed and observed after uniaxial stretching and upon static crystallization. Moreover, the furan cycles seem to appear in a state similar to the one of a sample crystallized upon quiescent condition. The rigidity is increased, and the α-relaxation temperature is increased by 15 °C.

Abstract
Poly (hexamethylene succinate) (PHS) is a biobased and biodegradable polyester. In this research, two fully biobased high-molecular-weight poly (hexamethylene succinate-co-2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PHSF) copolyesters with low hexamethylene furandicarboxylate (HF) unit contents (about 5 and 10 mol%) were successfully synthesized through a two-step transesterification/esterification and polycondensation method. The basic thermal behavior, crystal structure, isothermal crystallization kinetics, melting behavior, thermal stability, and tensile mechanical property of PHSF copolyesters were studied in detail and compared with those of PHS. PHSF showed a decrease in the melt crystallization temperature, melting temperature, and equilibrium melting temperature while showing a slight increase in the glass transition temperature and thermal decomposition temperature. PHSF copolyesters displayed the same crystal structure as PHS. Compared with PHS, PHSF copolyesters showed the improved mechanical property. The presence of about 10 mol% of HF unit increased the tensile strength from 12.9 ± 0.9 MPa for PHS to 39.2 ± 0.8 MPa; meanwhile, the elongation at break also increased from 498.5 ± 4.78% to 1757.6 ± 6.1%.

Abstract
The mechanical behaviour of polycarbonate and polydimethylsiloxane (Sylgard184) is studied in this work under laser shock conditions that induce high pressure and strain rates. Laser shock, usually used to reinforce metals, is chosen here because of its capacity to produce strain rates in the 106 s1 range and pressures of GPa order. The pressure and strain rates produced are extracted from the backface velocity profiles and reproduced with the FEM simulation on Abaqus for each laser shot. These two parameters lead to a glass transition shift in the polymers that can induce significant behaviour modifications. We show that Sylgard184, an elastomer with a glass transition temperature of 147 K, exhibits glassy behaviour under such laser shock conditions. By contrast, polycarbonate is already a glassy polymer in its normal state with a glass transition temperature of 415 K; no drastic change in behaviour under shock is evidenced. To discuss these findings in relation to the different mobility domains of the polymer chains under extreme conditions, dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) measurements are performed to characterize the limits of the rubbery and glassy behaviour for both polymers. As a result, the coupling of the two techniques provides a deeper understanding of the contribution of both the strain rate and pressure to the dynamic glass transition in polymers and thus expands the experimental study range of the two polymers to a strain rate that had not previously been reached.

Abstract
![]()
With the goal of
achieving high barrier with bio-based materials,
for example, for packaging applications, a series of novel furfural-based
polyesters bearing sulfide-bridged difuran dicarboxylic acid units
with high oxygen barrier properties were synthesized and characterized.
For the novel poly(alkylene sulfanediyldifuranoate)s, a 11.2–1.9×
higher barrier improvement factor compared to amorphous poly(ethylene
terephthalate) was observed which places the novel polyesters in the
top class among previously reported 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA)
and 2,2′-bifuran-based polyesters. Titanium-catalyzed polycondensation
reactions between the novel synthesized monomer, dimethyl 5,5′-sulfanediyldi(furan-2-carboxylate),
and four different diols, ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol,
and 1,5-pentanediol, afforded difuran polyesters with high intrinsic
viscosities (0.76–0.90 dL/g). These polyesters had good thermal
stability, decomposing at 342–363 and 328–570 °C
under nitrogen and air, respectively, which allowed processing them
into free-standing films via melt-pressing. In tensile testing of
the film specimens, tensile moduli in the range of 0.4–2.6
GPa were recorded, with higher values observed for the polyesters
with shorter diol units. Interestingly, besides the low oxygen permeability,
the renewable sulfide-bridged furan monomer also endowed the polyesters
with slight UV shielding effect, with cutoff wavelengths of ca. 350
nm, in contrast to FDCA-based polyesters, which lack significant UV
light absorption at over 300 nm.

Abstract
In the present work, the effect of ether oxygen atom introduction in a furan ring-containing polymer has been evaluated. Solvent-free polycondensation process permitted the preparation of high molecular weight poly(diethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PDEF), by reacting the dimethyl ester of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid with diethylene glycol. After molecular and thermal characterization, PDEF mechanical response and gas barrier properties to O2 and CO2, measured at different temperatures and humidity, were studied and compared with those of poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBF) and poly(pentamethylene 2,5-furanoate) (PPeF) previously determined. Both PDEF and PPeF films were amorphous, differently from PBF one. Glass transition temperature of PDEF (24 °C) is between those of PBF (39 °C) and PPeF (13 °C). As concerns mechanical response, PDEF is more flexible (elastic modulus [E] = 673 MPa) than PBF (E = 1290 MPa) but stiffer than PPeF (E = 9 MPa). Moreover, PDEF is the most thermally stable (temperature of maximum degradation rate being 418 for PDEF, 407 for PBF and 414 °C for PPeF) and hydrophilic (water contact angle being 74° for PDEF, 90° for PBF and 93° for PPeF), with gas barrier performances very similar to those of PPeF (O2 and CO2 transmission rate being 0.0022 and 0.0018 for PDEF and, 0.0016 and 0.0014 cm3 cm/m2 d atm for PPeF). Lab scale composting experiments indicated that PDEF and PPeF were compostable, the former degrading faster, in just one day. The results obtained are explained on the basis of the high electronegativity of ether oxygen atom with respect to the carbon one, and the consequent increase of dipoles along the macromolecule.

Abstract
High-molecular-weight poly(butylene 2,4-furanoate) (2,4-PBF), an isomer of well-known poly(butylene 2,5-furanoate) (2,5-PBF), was synthesized through an eco-friendly solvent-free polycondensation process and processed in the form of an amorphous film by compression molding. Molecular characterization was carried out by NMR spectroscopy and GPC analysis, confirming the chemical structure and high polymerization degree. Thermal analyses evidenced a reduction of both glass-to-rubber transition and melting temperatures, as well as a detriment of crystallization capability, for 2,4-PBF with respect to 2,5-PBF. Nevertheless, it was possible to induce crystal phase formation by annealing treatment. Wide-angle X-ray scattering revealed that the crystal lattices developed in the two isomers are distinct from each other. The different isomerism affects also the thermal stability, being 2,4-PBF more thermally inert than 2,5-PBF. Functional properties, such as wettability, mechanical response, and gas barrier capability, were tested on both amorphous and semicrystalline 2,4-PBF films and compared with those of 2,5-PBF. Reduced hydrophilicity was determined for 2,4-isomer, in line with its lower average dipole moment, suggesting better chemical resistance to hydrolysis. Stress-strain tests have evidenced the higher flexibility and toughness of 2,4-PBF with respect to those of 2,5-PBF and the possibility of improving its mechanical resistance by annealing. Finally, the different isomerism deeply affects the gas barrier performance, being the O2- and CO2-transmission rates of 2,4-PBF 50 and 110 times lower, respectively, than those of 2,5-PBF. The gas barrier properties turned out to be outstanding under a dry atmosphere as well as in humid conditions, suggesting the presence of interchain hydrogen bonds. The gas blocking capability decreases after annealing because of the presence of disclination associated with the formation of crystals.

Abstract
This critical review considers the extensive research and development dedicated, in the last years, to a single polymer, the poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate), usually simply referred to as PEF. PEF importance stems from the fact that it is based on renewable resources, typically prepared from C6 sugars present in biomass feedstocks, for its resemblance to the high-performance poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and in terms of barrier properties even outperforming PET. For the first time synthesis, properties, and end-life targeting—a more sustainable PEF—are critically reviewed. The emphasis is placed on how synthetic roots to PEF evolved toward the development of greener processes based on ring open polymerization, enzymatic synthesis, or the use of ionic liquids; together with a broader perspective on PEF end-life, highlighting recycling and (bio)degradation solutions.

Abstract
Poly(2,5-alkylene furanoate)s are bio-based, smart, and innovative polymers that are considered the most promising materials to replace oil-based plastics. These polymers can be synthesized using ecofriendly approaches, starting from renewable sources, and result into final products with properties comparable and even better than those presented by their terephthalic counterparts. In this work, we present the molecular dynamics of four 100% bio-based poly(alkylene 2,5-furanoate)s, using broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements that covered a wide temperature and frequency range. We unveiled complex local relaxations, characterized by the simultaneous presence of two components, which were dependent on thermal treatment. The segmental relaxation showed relaxation times and strengths depending on the glycolic subunit length, which were furthermore confirmed by high-frequency experiments in the molten region of the polymers. Our results allowed determining structure-property relations that are able to provide further understanding about the excellent barrier properties of poly(alkylene 2,5-furanoate)s. In addition, we provide results of high industrial interest during polymer processing for possible industrial applications of poly(alkylene furanoate)s.

Tuning the Properties of Furandicarboxylic Acid-Based Polyesters with Copolymerization: A Review. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12061209. [PMID: 32466455 PMCID: PMC7361963 DOI: 10.3390/polym12061209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Polyesters based on 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) are a new class of biobased polymers with enormous interest, both from a scientific and industrial perspective. The commercialization of these polymers is imminent as the pressure for a sustainable economy grows, and extensive worldwide research currently takes place on developing cost-competitive, renewable plastics. The most prevalent method for imparting these polymers with new properties is copolymerization, as many studies have been published over the last few years. This present review aims to summarize the trends in the synthesis of FDCA-based copolymers and to investigate the effectiveness of this approach in transforming them to a more versatile class of materials that could potentially be appropriate for a number of high-end and conventional applications.
