This review focuses on the use of levoglucosan (LGA) and levoglucosenone (LGO) obtained from cellulose pyrolysis in materials synthesis. It presents various types of polymers, including polyesters, polysaccharides, metathesis-based polymers, and photopolymerized thermosets. The sustainability and environmental impact of these syntheses are also discussed.
Levoglucosan (LGA) and levoglucosenone (LGO) are compounds readily obtained from biomass via pyrolysis of cellulose and represent a renewable pathway to prepare monomeric building blocks to synthesise polymeric materials. LGO is available on industry scale through the production of Cyrene (TM) via the Furacell (TM) process. This review examines the literature in this field while providing a future outlook on the use of these compounds in materials synthesis. A variety of LGA and LGO-based polymers are presented, including condensation polymers such as polyesters, polysaccharides via ring opening polymerization, metathesis based polymers and photopolymerized thermosets. The materials properties as well as the sustainability and environmental impact of these syntheses is discussed. Levoglucosan (LGA) and levoglucosenone (LGO); derived from pyrolysis of cellulose. Presented herein is; renewable pathways to prepare novel polymers. Examining reported modification and polymerisation, presenting pathways to sustainable polymers.
