In this study, bifurfural, an inedible biobased chemical and a second-generation biomass, was polymerized with several diamines using an environmentally benign process, and the chemical structures of the resulting poly(Schiff base)s were analyzed. Because furan rings, which are only produced from biomass and not from fossil resources, endow polymers with unique properties that include high rigidity and expanded π-conjugation, bifurfural, which contains two furan rings, is of significant interest ...[more]
