The unique organic coꢀpolymer grafted chains contain
randomly placed Brønsted acid sites, which can swell in water.
Since most of the hydrophilic acid groups have a close
interaction with aqueous phase, the acid groups entail a
maximum contact with fructose in water, catalyzing the

20 dehydration of fructose to form HMF. The increased catalytic
activity observed in the environment of the coꢀpolymer grafted
PE fiber catalysts can be paralleled to the addition of organic
solvents, specifically DMSO,19 which has been shown to improve
the conversion of fructose to HMF. Many other instances have
25 also indicated that enhancing the hydrophobicity of reaction
media can be a valid method in activating catalysts for other
organic reactions in water. For example, Uozumi’s group and
Li’s group prepared amphiphilic polymer catalysts that exhibited
high activities in waterꢀmedium organic reactions.30ꢀ31

Adsorption experiments, analyzed by HPLC, were carried out
to study the affinity of the catalyst’s branchꢀenvironment to both
the substrate and the product (Table 1). It’s expected that the
presence of diverse organic acid groups on fiber catalysts can
enhance the adsorption of fructose.

In summary, radiation induced coꢀgrafting of sulfonic and
phosphonic groups on high surfaceꢀarea polyethylene fibers is a
viable method to generate a regenerable, highly active and
selective heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydration of fructose
40 into HMF using water as a sole solvent. It is likely that the
sulfonic and phosphonic acid groups on the polymer surface have
a strong interaction with water, creating a branched environment
easily accessible to fructose. Furthermore, no expensive or toxic
organic solvents are required, which can dramatically reduce
45 cost.
