Polymers and oligomers containing furan rings
1990
Gandini, A.
Recent work on the synthesis, structure and some properties of macromolecules bearing furan rings is discussed. Two basic sources of monomers are considered, viz. furfural for monomers apt to undergo chain polymerization and hydroxymethylfurfural for monomers suitable for step polymerization. Within the first context, free radical, cationic and anionic systems are reviewed and the peculiarities arising from the presence of furan moieties in the monomer and/or the polymer examined in detail. As for the second context, the polymers considered are polyesters, polyethers, polyamides and polyurethanes. Finally, the chemical modification of all these oligomers, polymers and copolymers is envisaged on the basis of the unique reactivity of the furan heterocycle.
