Poly(dihydroferulic acid) a biorenewable polyethylene terephthalate mimic derived from lignin and acetic acid and copolymers thereof

摘要

An embodiment of the invention is directed to a biorenewable thermoplastic, poly(dihydroferulic acid) (PHFA), which is an effective polyethylene terephthalate (PET) mimic. In another embodiment of the invention, a biorenewable thermoplastic copolymer, poly(dihydroferulic acid-
