Meltable fatty acid esters of α-1,3-glucan as potential thermoplastics

Biosynthetically produced α-1,3-glucan dissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide/LiCl was allowed to react with lauric-, palmitic-, and stearic acid in presence of the activation agents p-toluenesulfonic acid chloride (TsCl), N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), or the iminium chloride (ImCl) obtained from N,N...
