Description

Description générale

5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA), a versatile building block in the polymer industry, is commonly used in polyester production and servs as an essential precursor to synthesize renewable terephthalic acid. Also, used as a monomer in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Application

• Photocatalytic applications in renewable energy: Research highlights the role of Zn(x)Cd(1-x)S nanoparticles, where 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid is used to enhance photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production. This process supports sustainable energy solutions (Pham et al., 2023).
• Biodegradable polymer synthesis: A study on the synthesis of biodegradable oligoesters from ε-caprolactone and 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid using immobilized lipases demonstrates its potential in creating environmentally friendly materials (Todea et al., 2019).
