Abstract

Massive amounts of unmanaged agricultural waste have drawn attention to the utilization of biomass for the production of prospective chemicals and polymeric materials, as well as their frequent application for generating various forms of energy. Furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has come up as an important platform chemical derived from the lignocellulosic agricultural waste, which can be converted into various products. Polyethylene furan-2, 5-dicarboxylate (PEF), and aligned compounds obtained from FDCA are potential environmentally benign polyesters. These polyesters can efficiently substitute conventionally established polymers, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), for different applications. Efforts are required to optimize the properties of PEF, which can be helpful in its commercialization providing it a suitable place for daily life applications.
