New copolyesters derived from terephthalic and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acids: A step forward in the development of biobased polyesters

A straightforward partial substitution of non-renewable poly(ethylene terephthalate) by renewable homologous poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate) was successfully done by random copolymerisation of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate and bis(hydroxyethyl)-2,5-furandicarboxylate. Different stoichiometric...
