The Evaluation of Eutectic Solvents as Catalysts for Mediating the Greener Synthesis of Poly(alkylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate)s.

ABSTRACT: In a quest to develop more sustainable polymers, decoupling their production from fuel-based resources and searching for alternative greener synthetic pathways are important priorities. Among the numerous polymers that fall into this category are furan-based polyesters. Besides the origin of polymers, their synthesis is another critical topic to consider regarding the overall greenness of the final product. However, despite several studies focusing on bio-based alternatives, such as poly(alkylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate)s, their synthesis still relies on air- and water-sensitive metal-based catalysts and is typically carried out under harsh conditions. This study explores an alternative approach with the application of eutectic solvents (ES) as catalysts for a more sustainable approach for
