And the article contained the following:
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 mol. weight poly(diethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PDEF), by reacting the di-Me ester of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid with diethylene glycol. After mol. and thermal characterization, PDEF mech. 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. As concerns mech. response, PDEF is more flexible than PBF but stiffer than PPeF. 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 macromol. The experimental process involved the reaction of Pentane-1,5-diol(cas: 111-29-5).Recommanded Product: Pentane-1,5-diol
