摘要

Furan-based NIPUs have been synthesized starting from CO

and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

and further exploited as the second component for PPC blends

which allows for the preparation of high-performance CO2-based biodegradable polymeric materials with low carbon footprint

good sustainability

and ideal biocompatibility.

Abstract

Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) is gaining significant momentum as a biodegradable polymer using CO

as an abundant

low-cost and renewable feedstock. Yet

PPC suffers from unsatisfactory thermal and mechanical properties

and its blends with other synthetic polymers as the second component typically exhibit poor compatibility. Herein

novel furan-based non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) with high molecular weights and narrow distributions have been synthesized starting from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)

via

a four-step procedure including reduction

glycidylation

carbonation of CO

and step-growth polymerization with diamines. Owing to the structural similarity and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions

furan-based NIPUs display good compatibility with PPC. A sea-island morphology can be observed in SEM images of PPC/NIPU blends

where the NIPU phases are randomly dispersed in the PPC matrix. Moreover

the blends exhibit only one

(higher than both that of PPC and the corresponding NIPU) on the DSC curves

which first increase and then decrease when increasing the content of NIPUs from 0 wt% to 15 wt%. Notably

the physical crosslinking formed by hydrogen bonding interactions

coupled with the rigidity of furan rings

confer simultaneous improvements of elongation at the break and tensile strength

affording high-performance CO

-based biodegradable polymeric materials with low carbon footprint

good sustainability

and ideal biocompatibility.
