Crystal Structure of Poly(trimethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) Redux – a new model supported by computational spectroscopy. Abstract Poly(trimethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PTF) is an emergent biobased polymer potentially able to outperform the fossil-based poly(ethylene terephthalate) counterpart. In this work, computational chemistry and vibrational spectroscopy tools are combined to elucidate the conformational preferences of PTF in both crystalline and amorphous…
