Abstract
Polyesters from furandicarboxylic acid derivatives, i.e., dimethyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate (2,5-DMFDCA) and 2,4-DMFDCA, show interesting properties among bio-based polymers. Another potential heteroaromatic monomer, 3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (3,4-BHMF), is often overlooked but holds promise for biopolymer synthesis. Cleaning and greening synthetic procedures, i.e., enzymatic polymerization, offer sustainable pathways. This study explores the Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB)-catalyzed copolymerization of 3,4-BHMF with furan dicarboxylate isomers and aliphatic diols. The furanic copolyesters (co-FPEs) with higher polymerization degrees are obtained using 2,4-isomer, indicating CALB's preference. Material analysis revealed semicrystalline properties in all synthesized 2,5-FDCA-based co-FPEs, with multiple melting temperatures (Tm) from 53 to 124 °C and a glass-transition temperature (Tg) of 9-10 °C. 2,4-FDCA-based co-FPEs showed multiple Tm from 43 to 61 °C and Tg of -14 to 12 °C; one of them was amorphous. In addition, all co-FPEs showed a two-step decomposition profile, indicating aliphatic and semiaromatic segments in the polymer chains.

Abstract
Furanic polymers, currently mainly represented by polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate (PEF), also known as polyethylene furanoate, have a fantastic potential to replace fossil-based polymers: for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). While 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a precursor of PEF, and its derived polymers have been studied extensively, 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) has received relatively little attention so far. Similarly to FDCA, BHMF is a biobased platform chemical derived from renewable sources such as sugars. This review highlights different polymerization techniques for BHMF-based polyesters and addresses BHMF's relative instability during the synthesis of BHMF-derived polymers, including polycarbonates and polyurethanes. Furthermore, the degradability of furanic polyesters is discussed and BHMF's toxicity is briefly elaborated.

Abstract
The vapor phase infiltration (VPI) process of trimethyl aluminum (TMA) into poly(4-acetoxystyrene) (POAcSt), poly(nonyl methacrylate) (PNMA) and poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PtBMA) is reported. Depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements are used for the first time for VPI based hybrid materials to determine the aluminum content over the polymer film thickness. An understanding of the reaction mechanism on the interaction of TMA infiltrating into the different polymers was obtained through infrared (IR) spectroscopy supported by density functional theory (DFT) studies. It is shown that the loading with aluminum is highly dependent on the respective ester side group of the used polymer, which is observed to be the reactive site for TMA during the infiltration. IR spectroscopy hints that the infiltration is incomplete for POAcSt and PNMA, as indicated by the characteristic vibration bands of the aluminum coordination to the carbonyl groups within the polymers. In this context, two different reaction pathways are discussed. One deals with the formation of an acetal, the other is characterized by the release of a leaving group. Both were found to be in direct concurrence dependent on the polymer side group as revealed by DFT calculations of the IR spectra, as well as the reaction energies of two possible reaction paths. From this study, one can infer that the degree of infiltration in a VPI process strongly depends on the polymer side groups, which facilitates the choice of the polymer for targeted applications.

Abstract
AbstractHere we demonstrate the feasibility and successful application of enzymes in polyurethane network synthesis as well as occurring hurdles that have to be addressed when using urethanes synthesis substrates. The enzymatic transesterification of an urethane-bond containing monofunctional ester and a model alcohol carbitol using lipases is discussed. The reaction is optimized in terms of transesterification time and temperature, the reaction solvent, the possibility of a cosolvent and the alcohol amount, the used transesterification environment, and the biocatalyst. Enzymatic cross-linking of polyurethanes can open up a pool of new possibilities for cross-linking and related polyurethane network properties due to the enzymes high enantio-, stereo-, and regioselectivity and broad substrate spectrum.

Abstract
This critical review considers the extensive research and development dedicated, in the last years, to a single polymer, the poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate), usually simply referred to as PEF. PEF importance stems from the fact that it is based on renewable resources, typically prepared from C6 sugars present in biomass feedstocks, for its resemblance to the high-performance poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and in terms of barrier properties even outperforming PET. For the first time synthesis, properties, and end-life targeting—a more sustainable PEF—are critically reviewed. The emphasis is placed on how synthetic roots to PEF evolved toward the development of greener processes based on ring open polymerization, enzymatic synthesis, or the use of ionic liquids; together with a broader perspective on PEF end-life, highlighting recycling and (bio)degradation solutions.

Abstract
Significant improvement in mechanical properties and shape recovery in polyurethanes can be obtained by cross-linking, usually performed in a traditional chemical fashion. Here, we report model studies of enzymatic transamidations of urethane-bond-containing esters to study the principles of an enzymatic build-up of covalent cross-linked polyurethane networks via amide bond formation. The Lipase-catalyzed transamidation reaction of a urethane-bond-containing model ester ethyl 2-(hexylcarbamoyloxy)propanoate with various amines is discussed. A side product was formed, that could be successfully identified, and its synthesis reduced to a minimum (<1%). Furthermore, a noncatalyzed transamidation that is performed without CalB as the catalyst could be observed. Both observations are due to the known high reactivity of amines with urethane bonds.

Abstract
A series of poly(tetrahydrofuran)s with molecular weights above entanglement molecular weight M e were synthesized, and one of their end-groups was functionalized with a supramolecular entity so that the corresponding polymers form a brushlike structure suitable for comparison with conventional irreversible bottlebrush polymers. To compare their relaxation mechanisms, linear rheology was employed and showed that a hierarchical relaxation, which is usually observed in bottlebrush polymers, occurs in these materials, too. The polymer chain segments close to the supramolecular backbone are highly immobilized due to strong association in the center of polymer brush and cannot relax via reptation mechanism, which is mainly responsible for linear entangled polymer relaxations. Therefore, disentanglement can take much longer through contour length fluctuations and arm retraction processes similar to covalent bottlebrush polymers and combs. The relaxed ends of polymers then act as solvent to let the remaining segments of the polymeric brush undergo Rouse-like motions (constraint release Rouse). At longer times, additional plateau appears, which can be attributed to the relaxation of the entire supramolecular bottlebrush polymer via hopping or reptative motions. With an increase of temperature, viscoelastic solid behavior turns into viscoelastic liquid due to reversible depolymerization of the supramolecular backbone of the bottlebrush polymer. The elastic modulus (G' in the order of kPa) was much less than the values found for the entanglement plateau modulus of linear poly(tetrahydrofuran) (in order of MPa). This low modulus value, which exists up to very low frequencies (high temperatures), makes them a good candidate for supersoft elastomers.

Abstract
Enzymatic polymerization provides an excellent opportunity for the conversion of renewable resources into polymeric materials in an effective and sustainable manner. A series of furan-based copolyesters was synthesized withM w ‾ up to 35 kg mol-1 , by using Novozyme 435 as a biocatalyst and dimethyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate (DMFDCA), 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF), aliphatic linear diols, and diacid ethyl esters as monomers. The synthetic mechanism was evaluated by the variation of aliphatic linear monomers and their feed compositions. Interestingly, there was a significant decrease in the molecular weight if the aliphatic monomers were changed from diols to diacid ethyl esters. The obtained copolyesters were thoroughly characterized and compared with their polyester analogs. These findings provide a closer insight into the application of enzymatic polymerization techniques in designing sustainable high-performance polymers.

Abstract
Previously, we have synthesized a diverse range of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA)-based semiaromatic polyamides via enzymatic polymerization. This novel class of polymers are biobased alternatives to polyphthalamides, which are petrol-based semiaromatic polyamides. From a commercial perspective, they have interesting properties as high-performance materials and engineering thermoplastics. It is even more appealing to explore novel FDCA-based polyamides with added functionality, for the development of sustainable functional materials. Here, a set of FDCA-based heteroatom polyamides have been successfully produced via Novozyme 435 (N435)-catalyzed polymerization of biobased dimethyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate with (potentially)heteroatom diamines, namely, 4,9-dioxa-1,12-dodecanediamine (DODA), diethylenetriamine, and 3,3-ethylenediiminopropylamine. We performed the enzymatic polymerization in solution and bulk. The latter approach is more sustainable and results in higher molecular weight products. Among the tested heteroatom diamines, N435 shows the highest catalytic activity toward DODA. Furthermore, we find that all obtained FDCA-based heteroatom polyamides are amorphous materials with a relatively high thermal stability. These heteroatom polyamides display a glass-transition temperature ranging from 41 to 107 °C.

Abstract
Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a distinct C-cell tumor of the thyroid. We review the oncogenesis and management of both sporadic tumors and those tumors arising as part of specific inherited syndromes. The RET proto-oncogene plays a role in the development of inherited forms of MTC and has become important in the clinical management of patients and their families. The recognition of the high rate of regional nodal involvement has led to lymphadenectomy being strongly considered for patients undergoing thyroidectomy for MTC.

Abstract
Thirty-seven patients presenting with massive or recurrent haemoptysis secondary to tuberculous aetiology were subjected to bronchial artery angiography. Of these, failure, to catheterize the bleeding vessel occurred in two patients while embolization was withheld in two patients due to the presence of anterior spinal artery arising from a common intercosto-bronchial trunk. Immediate arrest of bleeding was performed in the remaining 33 patients by selective embolization of the abnormal bronchial arteries with a resorbable material (Gelfoam). Regular follow up for a duration of 6 months after the procedure revealed relapse of haemoptysis in four patients; three were treated by re-embolization of the abnormal bleeding vessels while one patient died due to aspiration immediately on admission. No recurrence of bleeding was seen in the remaining 29 patients. It is concluded that bronchial artery embolization is an effective treatment for immediate control of life-threatening haemoptysis.
