| Abstract |
Petrochemical plastics have showed very important roles in the chemical industry over the past decades and can be found everywhere because of their low cost, durability, lightweight, and so on. Production and consumption of plastics which are essential in everyday life from disposable products to high-tech devices have been dramatically increase. As a result, various environmental global issues inevitably appeared by massive use of synthetic polymers produced from fossil resources.
Biodegradable polymers, i.e., PBS, 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.
