Popis: | Lipases from different sources were screened to determine their relative performance to catalyze ω-pentadecalactone (PDL) ring-opening polymerization from the hydroxyl group of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and ω-hydroxyl-ω‘-methacrylate−poly(ethylene glycol) [PEGMA (Mn 360)]. Novozym 435 was found to be the most active biocatalyst for 2-HEMA/PEGMA-initiated PDL ring-opening polymerizations at 70 °C for 48 h in toluene (1:2 w/v of monomers). Thus, 2-HEMA-terminated PPDL was synthesized in yields of ∼80% and with |
