Polyethylene-2,5-furandicarboxylate
Polycondensation of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic-acid (FDCA) and ethyleneglycol gives polyethylene furanoate poly(ethylene furanoate) generally abbreviated as PEF potential bio-based replacement for polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It shows good mechanical and thermal properties and also improved barrier properties. Howerver it has a brittle behavior at room temperature, and together with the elevated price of FDCA) limited its use in different industrial applications.
