Production and consumption of petro-based plastics which are essential in everyday life from disposable products to high-tech devices have been dramatically increasing every year. As a result, various environmental global issues inevitably appeared by excessive use of synthetic polymers produced from fossil resources. Biodegradable polymers, i.e., PLA, is still skeptical about the replacement of industrial products due to the limited physical properties. As an alternative, many researchers have been interested in synthetic biopolymer with good mechanical properties. Herein, we introduced and investigated some examples of high performance sustainable bioplastics polymerized from heterocyclic monomers derived from biomass resources, i.e., isosorbide and dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate, to verify their potentials for various plastic industries. |
