TL;DR: Relevant catalyst screening experiments for polycondensation reactions can be performed in very efficient small scale parallel equipment and next to polymer synthesis, polymer characterization also needs to be accelerated without making concessions to quality in order to draw relevant conclusions.

TL;DR: In this article, a process for preparing a polymer having a 2,5-furandicarboxylate moiety within the polymer backbone, and having a number average molecular weight of at least 25,000, comprising a transesterification step, a polycondensation step, drying and/or crystallizing step, and a step wherein the polymer is subjected to post condensation conditions, and to a polyester-containing bottle or film or fibre-containing woven or non-woven object made from melt-processing poly(ethylene-2,5)-furand

TL;DR: A polyester including at least one furandicarboxylate unit, a saturated, linear or branched, diol unit including from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and a bicyclic unit, the said bicyclic diol being chosen from: isosorbide, isoidide, and isomannide, 2,3:4,5-di-O-methylene-galactitol as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A polyester-containing object, such as an injection stretch blow molded bottle, a biaxially oriented film or a drawn fibre, is made from melt-processing poly(ethylene-2,5-furandicarboxylate) as mentioned in this paper.
