Highly efficient mechanochemical depolymerisation of bio-based polyethylene furanoate and polybutylene furanoate

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present a mechanochemical protocol for the efficient depolymerisation of bio-based poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF) and poly(butylene furanoate) (PBF) as alternatives to commodity plastics such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET).
