Crystallization-Controlled Structure and Thermal Properties of Biobased Poly(Ethylene2,5-Furandicarboxylate).

ABSTRACT: Crystallization-controlled structure and thermal properties of biobased poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF) were studied. The cold-crystallization temperature controlled the structure and thermal properties of the biobased PEF. The melting was complex and evidenced the presence of a significant fraction of less-stable crystals with a low melting temperature that linearly increased with T_c, which formed already during the early stages of crystallization, together with those melting at a higher temperature. Low T_c resulted in the α'-phase formation, less crystallinity, and greater content of the rigid amorphous phase. At high T_c, the α-phase formed, higher crystallinity developed, the rigid amorphous phase content was lower, and t
