Abstract
Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) was synthesized by $KMnO_4$ oxidation of 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran(DHMF) derived from biomass. Polyesters were synthesized by esterification and polycondensation of FDCA with various diols(ethane-1,2-diol, propane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol, hexane-1,6-diol, decane-1,10-diol). The composition of polyesters was characterized by using $^1H$ NMR. Thermal properties of the polyesters were characterized by DSC and TGA. Intrinsic viscosities(IV) of the polyesters were measured to be 0.78~1.2 dL/g comparable with IV of commercial poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET). As the chain lengths of diols increased, Young's modulus and strength decreased and elongation-to-break generally increased. Young's modulus and strength of the polyesters were measured to be 3551 MPa and 103 MPa, respectively, comparable with commercial PET.
