(TU Delft BT/Biocatalysis) Hollmann, F. (TU Delft BT/Biocatalysis) Contributor Kobayashi, S. (editor) Uyama, H. (editor) Kadokawa, J.-I. (editor) Date 2019 Abstract Enzymatic methods for the polymerisation of vinyl monomers are presented and critically discussed. Vinyl monomers can be polymerised initiated by enzyme-catalysed radical formation. The most widely used initiators for this purpose are β-diketo compounds, which can be transformed into the corresponding radicals via peroxidase- or laccase-catalysed oxidation. For this, peroxidases use hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, while laccases rely on molecular oxygen. Both enzyme classes comprise specific advantages and disadvantages that are discussed in this chapter. Also, parameters to control the polymer properties are introduced and discussed Subject Polymerisation of vinyl monomersLaccasePeroxidaseBiocatalysis To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:a5cc0787-c7c8-48e4-87ca-0eaf12e838fe DOI https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-3813-7_11 Publisher Springer ISBN 978-981-13-3812-0 Source Enzymatic polymerization towards green polymer chemistry Series Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology Bibliographical note Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.
