Abstract

High molecular weight, amorphous poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) has been aged at 135 °C for different times. The crystal phase contributes to achieve exceptionally low oxygen transmission rates and also good impermeability to water vapors, making PPF one of the most interesting fully biobased polyesters for packaging applications.
