Crystallization of furan-based polyesters — •Andreas Wurm¹, Vasilios Tsanaktis², Dimitrios Bikiaris², and Christoph Schick¹ — ¹University of Rostock, Inst. of Physics, Germany — ²Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Dept. of Chemistry, Greece

Isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization behavior of polymers can be investigated with traditional calorimeters often in a limited temperature region only. This results from the fast crystallization processes on optimal conditions, which appears in most polymers in a few seconds or less. The chip-based fast scanning DSCs allow applying heating and cooling rates of several 1000 K/s, which enables for many polymers to follow crystallization in the whole temperature range between glass transition and melting temperature.

We applied the Mettler Toledo Flash DSC 1 chip calorimeter for investigation of the non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization behavior of different furan-based polyesters from renewable resources (poly(ethylene furanoate) to poly(dodecylene furanoate)). For poly (butylene furanoate) the influence of different nanofillers on the crystallization process is discussed.
