Abstract

Furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a renewable compound that acts as a rigid monomer, which is used as a promising sustainable platform chemical for the production of biorenewable polymers. By using monofuran and multifuran derivatives, a series of high-value polyamides with high thermal and mechanical performance are developed via catalytic polycondensation. This review highlights the recent progress in the synthesis of biorenewable polyamides from monofuran and multifuran monomers. The structure-property relationship of furan-containing polyamides is discussed. The challenges and opportunities are proposed for the further development of biorenewable furan-containing polyamides.
