Development of a series of biobased poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate-co-(5,5′-((phenethylazanediyl)bis(methylene))bis(furan-5,2-diyl))dimethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) copolymers via a sustainable and mild route: promising “breathing” food packaging materials

The monomer PhDM with a particular structure was introduced into PEF to regulate the properties of the copolymer, especially the gas barrier and UV shielding properties, which is promising for food packaging applications.
