Green Polymer Chemistry: Enzyme Catalysis for Polymer Functionalization

Green Polymer Chemistry: Enzyme Catalysis for Polymer Functionalization

Enzyme catalyzed reactions are green alternative approaches to functionalize polymers compared to conventional methods. This technique is especially advantageous due to the high selectivity, high efficiency, milder reaction conditions, and recyclability of enzymes. Selected reactions can be conducte...
