Modification of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) with 1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene: Influence of composition on mechanical and barrier properties

A serials of bio-based polyesters (PECFs) in full composition range were synthesized from CHDM, EG and FDCA. Considering the crystallization ability and toughness as well as O2/CO2 permeability of PECFs, the copolyesters PECF-76 might be the promising substitute for PET in packaging industry.190
