In pursuit of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) PEF materials with high molecular weight, satisfactory appearance and faster crystallization rate, its preparation from dimethyl furan-2,5- dicarboxylate (DMFD) with ethylene glycol (EG) in the trace presence of metal zinc was performed via transesterification method. Optimization of the main polymerization parameters enabled Zn-catalyzed PEF to gain high molecular weight (Mn, 5.40 x 104 g mol-1) and low content of diethylene glycol furandicarboxylate unit (DEGF, 2.91%). On the basis of experimental phenomena and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the actual catalytic active species of metal zinc in the polymerization was speculated to be a salt of 2, 5-furandicarboxylate derivative (Zn(II)). The in-stiu catalyst can efficaciously inhibit the influence of by-product FDCA on the color of PEF, which displayed quite better appearance (close to white). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed that the in-stiu catalytic system acted as nucleating agent (NA) and the crystallization half-time (t1/2) of PEFs-Zn was only 1/4 of that of PEF-tin. Additionally, series of high molecular weight furan-based polyesters from DMFD and diols with different methylene (3, 5, 6 and 8) were obtained by zinc powder as in-stiu catalyst, which further evidenced it to be efficiency and universality.
