To enhance the crystallization of poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBF) thus substitute its petroleum-based analogue poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), a series of high molecular weight poly(butylene-co-1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBCF) copolyesters with low contents (0–19 mol%) of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) are synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene (CHDM) and BDO. Their chemical structures and compositions are confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR). Their number average molecular weights are from 20,500 to 36,100 g/mol with the polydispersity index ( Ð ) of 1.67–1.99. The thermal stability and crystallization behaviors are investigated by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Results show that PBCFs demonstrate comparable crystallization rate to PBT as the crystallization half time is from 18 to 29 s and the melting enthalpy is 34.1–41.4 J/g as well as the higher melting temperature of 238–263°C than 225°C for PBT. In addition, PBCFs exhibit excellent mechanical properties of tensile modulus between 1220 and 1510 MPa. These investigations suggest that a moderate amount CF unit can improve the melting temperature and enhance the originally weak crystallizability of furan-based polyesters. Generally, PBCFs can be the engineering plastic with satisfied thermal and mechanical performance.

A series of poly(ethylene- co -1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate)s (PECFs) with different compositions were synthesized from 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene (CHDM) and ethylene glycol (EG). Their chemical structures , composition and sequence distribution were determined by FT-IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR. The composition of the resulted polyesters could be controlled by the feed mole ratio of CHDM to dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (DMFD). And for all the copolyesters, the degree of randomness (R) was close to 1, indicating their randomness. Their thermal and mechanical properties were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and tensile testing , results showed that the crystallizability, tensile modulus and strength of PECFs were decreased with the increasing content of CHDM at first (0–59%), and with the introduction of more CHDM (76–100%) units, they were increased accordingly. However the elongation at break was changed contrarily. The barrier properties study demonstrated that although the O 2 and CO 2 permeability of PEF was increased by the introduction of CHDM, PECF-32 and PECF-76 still showed excellent barrier properties, which were better or comparable to those of PEN and PEI.

3-Ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (EVP), derived from the telomerization of carbon dioxide (CO2) with 1,3-butadiene, emerges as a promising intermediate for the production of high-value added materials from CO2. However, the current impediment lies in the challenge of accessing selective ring-opening (co)polymerization of EVP because of unfavorable thermodynamics under mild conditions and the competitive polymerization of highly reactive C═C double bonds. In this study, we report the chemoselective ring-opening copolymerization of EVP (selective ring-opening rather than vinyl polymerization) with ε-caprolactone (CL), even at room temperature, by using a phosphazene/urea binary catalyst. This process exclusively yields the ring-opening product of copolyester poly(CL-co-EVP). The resultant poly(CL-co-EVP)s exhibit predictable molar masses (Mns), narrow distributions (D̵ < 1.2 for most cases), wide range of EVP-contents (0–60 mol %), and thus tunable thermal properties. The kinetic and reactivity ratio (rCL = 3.67 and rEVP = 0.17) studies indicate a gradient structure for poly(CL-co-EVP). Moreover, these poly(CL-co-EVP)s possess two distinct pendant alkene groups, an internal one and a terminal one, which are ready to undergo sequential functionalization to prepare bifunctional polyesters or form cross-linked polyesters. Poly(CL-co-EVP) copolyester with only a 2 mol % EVP incorporation shows a significant improvement in both tensile strength (σb) and elongation at break (εb) in comparison to PCL homopolymer with a similar Mn, while cross-linking further facilitates the transformation of PCL from thermoplastics to elastomers. This study opens avenues to utilize EVP and synthesize sustainable and functional polyesters.

To understand the role of molecular structure on the crystallization behavior of copolyester in thermoplastic poly(ether ester) elastomers (TPEEs), series of poly(butylene-co-1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate) (P(BT-co-CT))-b-poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG) are synthesized through molten polycondensation process. The effects of poly(cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate) (PCT) content on the copolymer are investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),1H and13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatographs (GPC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), mechanical, and visible light transmittance tests. FT-IR and NMR results confirm the incorporation of PCT onto the copolymer. WAXD and DSC indicate that the crystalline structure of the copolymers changed from α-PBT lattice to trans-PCT lattice when the molar fraction of PCT (MPCT) is above 30%, while both crystallization and melting temperatures reach the minima. An increase inMPCTled to an increase in the number sequence length of PCT, the thermal stability and the visible light transmittance of the copolymer, but to a slight decrease in tensile strength and elastic modulus.Keywords:poly(ester ether);copolymerization;microstructures;crystallization behavior

Poly(ethylene glycol-co-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) (PCTG) is a high-performance engineering copolyester prepared using terephthalic acid (TPA), ethylene glycol (EG), and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM). In this work, a complex reaction network of PCTG copolyesters involving homopolymerization and cross-polymerization was presented and the corresponding reaction mechanism was proposed. The reaction kinetics and mass transfer behavior were investigated using static thin film experiments, wherein the variation of the hydroxyl end-group concentrations of EG and CHDM with reaction time was separately determined. The results showed that the apparent reaction rate benefited from the high temperature, thin film thickness, and high vacuum conditions. Based on the pseudosteady-state assumption, the apparent reaction rate model coupled with mass transfer was evaluated and the model parameters including the reaction rate coefficient, equilibrium constant, and mass transfer coefficient were obtained, which were further used to simulate the polycondensation process. The concentration variation of EG and CHDM, and the rate variation of each reaction during polycondensation are discussed by combining the effects of homopolymerization, cross-polycondensation, and mass transfer. The concentration of EG was more sensitive to pressure than that of CHDM, which promoted the production of CHDM at high pressures. The proposed model is expected to provide guidance for the optimization of industrial production of PCTG/PETG and generalize to other copolyester systems.

Waterborne saturated polyester (WSP) with high hydroxyl content was prepared through solution polymerization by using stepwise feeding and stage heating methods. The stability of polyester dispersion was enhanced in terms of molecular structure and polymerization process. The conditions of polymerization process, monomer types, and catalyst type were determined. The effects of the ratio of alcohol-to-acid, trimethylolpropane (TMP) content and the feeding method, the content of terminal monomer and branched monomer on the dispersion were investigated. The stability of the self-emulsifying polyester and the water resistance of the film were proved to be excellent. Through transesterification, waterborne unsaturated polyester (WUP) was synthesized by WSP. Polyester-acrylate composite emulsion can be obtained by physical blending or chemical copolymerization of synthetic waterborne polyester. The viscosity of the composite emulsion was improved, and the hardness and water resistance were improved. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137 , 48278.

Bio-based copolyesters have garnered significant attention in the domains of packaging and agriculture due to their exceptional degradability and mechanical properties. Building upon existing research, this study further modifies bio-based copolyesters with the objective of enhancing their comprehensive mechanical properties and broadening their application scope. High-performance aromatic copolyesters were synthesized through a two-step esterification and polycondensation process, utilizing terephthalic acid, adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, and erythritol as raw materials. The structures of the synthesized copolyesters were characterized using FTIR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR. Compared to PBAT, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the copolyesters demonstrated improvements of 22.14 % and 80.14 %, respectively. Moreover, the tear strength and puncture resistance of the copolyesters were enhanced by 25.10 % and 54.13 %, respectively. TG indicated that the copolyesters exhibit high thermal stability. Notably, these copolyesters maintained good degradability after 35 days at ambient temperature. In conclusion, the enhancement of both mechanical and degradation properties of copolyesters was imperative for the advancement and promotion of degradable foams, films, and elastomers.

We report a method of reinforcing and toughening unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) with a kind of hyperbranched polyester (HBP-1). Polyethylene glycol with different molecular weight was used as the core molecule of the preparation reaction, and the reaction product of phthalic anhydride and glycerol was used as the branching unit. The esterification reaction of polycondensation occurred, and then the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester was prepared. The reaction product of maleic anhydride and isooctanol was added to the prepared hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester for esterification reaction. Both ends of the hyperbranched polyester had unsaturated double bond to obtain the hyperbranched polyester (HBP-1). The effects of this treatment on the morphology, mechanical properties and thermal properties of the composites were studied in detail. The HBP-1 was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The HBP-1/UPR composites were investigated by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), mechanical properties analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results showed that HBP-1 enhanced the thermostability and mechanical properties of UPR. However, DMA indicated that the addition of HBP-1 cannot effectively improve the thermodynamic properties of UPR due to the flexible chain in HBP-1 structure. The HBP-1 improves tensile strength, bending strength and impact strength compared to neat UPR.Keywords:hyperbranched polyester;unsaturated polyester resin;thermostability;mechanical properties;reinforcement

A novel full bio-based ketone-containing aliphatic polyester was prepared by enzyme-catalyzed polycondensation of diethyl γ-ketopimelate (DEK) with 1,6-hexanediol (HDO) using immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB). The influences of polymerization conditions such as temperature, time, enzyme amount, and solvent amount on the molecular weight of poly(hexamethylene γ-ketopimelate) (PHK) were investigated. New fully bio-based poly(hexamethylene γ-ketopimelate- co -hexamethylene adipate) (poly(HK- co -HA)) copolymers with narrow polydispersity and well-defined composition were synthesized by copolymerization of DEK, HDO, and diethyl adipate. The structures of PHK and poly(HK- co -HA) copolymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, and their thermal characterization was examined by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The degradation of PHK and poly(HK- co -HA) copolymers was studied. The post-polymerization modification of these polyketoesters via oxime click chemistry was further demonstrated. Graphical

A serials of fully bio-based poly(ethylene dodecanedioate-2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEDF) were synthesized from Dodecanedioic acid (DDCA), 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA), and ethylene glycol through a two-step procedure consisted of transesterification and polycondensation. After their chemical structures were confirmed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, their thermal, mechanical, and biodegradation properties were investigated in detail. Results showed that the chemical composition of PEDFs could be easily controlled by the feeding mole ratio of DDCA to FDCA and they possessed the characteristic of random copolyester with the intrinsic viscosity ranged from 0.82 to 1.2 dL/g. With the varied mole ratio of DDCA to FDCA, PEDFs could be changed from semicrystalline thermoplastic to the completely amorphous elastomer, indicated by the elongation at break ranged from 4 for poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) to 1500% for amorphous PEDF-40. The amorphous PEDF-30 and PEDF-40 showed satisfactory shape recovery after cyclic tensile test, which was the typical behavior for elastomer. Enzymatic degradation test indicated that all the PEDFs were biodegradable and the degradation rate was heavily affected by their chemical compositions. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Nonconventional fluorescent polymers without π-aromatic structure have attracted extensive interest in recent years. Hyperbranched polyesters are generally known because of their industrial applications; however, the luminescent properties of the polyester has not been reported. Herein, we synthesized a series of fully biobased aliphatic hyperbranched polyesters via a one-pot A2 + B3 esterification reaction. Intriguingly, the resultant hyperbranched polyesters carrying no conventional fluorescent units exhibited unexpected bright blue fluorescence under 365 nm UV light. It was found that the fluorescence intensity was enhanced with increasing solution concentrations and molecular weights of the polyesters. Moreover, the results suggested that the luminescence of polyesters could be controlled by solvents and metal ions. In particular, the fluorescence of the polyesters was extremely sensitive to Fe3+. More interesting is that the fluorescence of the polyesters showed an aggregation-induced enhanced emission in the mixture system. Notably, the resulting polyesters displayed a remarkably enhanced quantum yield (16.75%) as compared with that of other types of these polymers. Preliminary results demonstrate that clustering of the carbonyl groups is responsible for the unusual fluorescence in the aliphatic hyperbranched polyesters, namely, clustering-induced emission (CIE). This study provides a novel perspective for the design of biobased luminescent materials to new application areas.

In order to prepare white fluorescent emitting materials, poly(ethylene glycol succinate- co -2,5-furandicarboxylic acid ethylene glycol ester) (PESF) blue fluorescent copolyester was prepared by melt polycondensation, and an orange fluorescent copolyester was prepared by introducing 1,6,7,12-tetrachloro-3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, as one of the fluorescent units, into the molecular chain of poly(butylene glycol isophthalate- co -butylene glycol terephthalate)(PBIT). 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (HMDI) was used as a chain extender for linking PESF and PBIT to obtain the white fluorescent copolyester. The results showed that introducing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) into the molecular chain of aliphatic polyesters can significantly enhance the blue fluorescence intensity of the PESF copolyesters, and white-light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.31, 0.35) and (0.30, 0.34) was achieved for the copolyester by varying the content of in the PESF and the copolymerization ratio of PESF and PBIT. In addition, by adjusting the magnitude of the excitation wavelength, it is possible to achieve the fine-tuning of the light color of the white copolyester in a certain region, e.g., the CIE coordinates at 350 nm excitation are (0.32, 0.35). The white copolyester displayed high thermal decomposition temperature about 350 o C, remarkably increased elongation at break above 300%, relatively high tensile strength up to 33.2 MPa; therefore, these performance advantages make enhance their potential for applications.
