20.500.12556/DKUM-91995 Recent trends in the synthesis of monomers for furanoate polyesters and their nanocomposites’ fabrication as a sustainable packaging material Furanoate polyesters are an extremely promising new class of materials for packaging applications, particularly furanoate-based nanocomposites, which have gained a high interest level in research and development in both academia and industries. The monomers utilised for the synthesis of furanoate-based polyesters were derived from lignocellulosic biomass, which is essential for both eco-friendliness and sustainability. Also, these polyesters have a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil-based plastics, contributing to greenhouse gas reduction. The furanoate-based nanocomposites exhibit enhanced performance characteristics, such as high thermal stability, excellent mechanical strength, superior barrier resistance, and good bacteriostatic rate, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, especially for food-packaging applications. This paper reviews the recent trends in the synthesis routes of monomers, such as the various catalytic activities involved in the oxidation of 5(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and its ester, dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (DMFD). In addition, this review explores the fabrication of different furanoate-based nanocomposites prepared by in situ polymerization, by melt mixing or solvent evaporation methods, and by using different types of nanoparticles to enhance the overall material properties of the resulting nanocomposites. Emphasis was given to presenting the effect of these nanoparticles on the furanoate polyester’s properties. 2 5-furandicarboxylic acid dimethyl furan-2 5-dicarboxylat furanoate polyesters furanoate nanocomposites thermal properties mechanical properties antibacterial properties sustainable packaging 2 5-furandikarboksilna kislina dimetil furan-2 5-dikarboksilat furanoatni poliestri furanoatni nanokompoziti toplotne lastnosti mehanske lastnosti antibakterijske lastnosti trajnostna embalaža true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability © 2024 by the authors Članek v reviji 2025-03-10 15:30:54 2025-03-10 15:30:54 2025-08-27 13:41:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 22 str. iss. 19, [article no.] 8632 Vol. 16 Oct. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2024-09-10 2024-10-03 2024-10-05 543.2/.9:66 222853635 10.3390/su16198632 2071-1050 sustainability-16-08632.pdf sustainability-16-08632.pdf 1 07FA8724275332DF58CB7BF3A43DA0B3 0d482719460b5af369df52a5f53da7c71374fcf170aa82e3f305f859a8ab999f a6b59db6-fdbc-11ef-b09f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=189116 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/16/19/8632 0 c26ea1b9-fdbc-11ef-b09f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=189117 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
