Application

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a renewable, greener substitute for terephthalate in the production of polyesters.[1] It is widely used as a precursor for the synthesis of bio-based polyesters and various other polymers.[2][3][4][5]

Applications of FDCA in the synthesis of several metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have also been reported.[6][7]

Other Notes

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid has been included among Top 10 biorefinery carbohydrate derivatives for the production of biobased industrial products.[1]

Intending to expand the thermo-physical properties of bio-based polymers, furan-based thermoplastic polyesters were synthesized following the melt polycondensation method. The resulting polymers, namely, poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF), poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF), poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBF) and poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PCHDMF) are used in blends
