Application	2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) serves as a pivotal renewable building block with a wide array of applications, particularly as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petrochemical-based materials. As an organic compound consisting of carboxylic acid groups on a furan ring, FDCA is predominantly used as a monomer in producing bio-based polyesters, replacing petro-derived terephthalic acid. Its utilization spans the creation of corrosion-resistant plastics and various other polymers, contributing significantly to green chemistry. FDCA's versatility extends to its involvement in synthesizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), further showcasing its role in advancing sustainable materials. While exhibiting some irritation hazards to eyes and skin, FDCA remains a cornerstone for developing renewable resources, solubilizing under alkaline conditions, and being recognized by entities like the US Department of Energy as integral to the future of sustainable chemical industry innovation.
