Unlocking the potential of furan-based poly(ester amide)s: an investigation of crystallization, molecular dynamics and degradation kinetics of novel poly(ester amide)s based on renewable poly(propylene furanoate)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers synthesised novel furan-based poly(ester amide)s by incorporating a preformed amido diol into poly(propylene furanoate) via melt polycondensation, investigating the chemical structure, thermal properties, and material behaviour of these renewable bioplastic candidates.
In this work, novel polyester amides (PEAs) based on renewable poly(propylene furanoate) (PPF) were prepared via traditional melt polycondensation utilizing a preformed symmetric amido diol (AD) containing two internal amide bonds.
