Enzymatic Polymerization towards Green Polymer Chemistry
Shiro Kobayashi, Hiroshi Uyama, Jun-ichi KadokawaThis book comprehensively covers researches on enzymatic polymerization and related enzymatic approaches to produce well-defined polymers, which is valuable and promising for conducting green polymer chemistry. It consists of twelve chapters, including the following topics:
- The three classes of enzymes, oxidoreductases, transferases and hydrolases, have been employed as catalysts for enzymatic polymerization and modification;
- Well-defined polysaccharides are produced by enzymatic polymerization catalyzed by hydrolases and transferases; Hydrolase-catalyzed polycondensation and ring-opening polymerization are disclosed to produce a variety of polyesters;
- Polyesters are synthesized by in-vivo acyltransferase catalysis produced by microorganisms;
- Enzymatic polymerization catalyzed by appropriate enzymes also produces polypeptides and other polymers;
- Poly(aromatic)s are obtained by enzymatic polymerization catalyzed by oxidoreductases and their model complexes;
- Such enzymes also induce oxidative polymerization of vinyl monomers;
- Enzymatic modification of polymers is achieved to produce functionalized polymeric materials;
- The enzymatic polymerization is a green process with non-toxic catalysts, high catalyst efficiency, green solvents and renewable starting materials, and minimal by-products;
- Moreover, renewable resources like biomass are potentially employed as a starting substrate, producing useful polymeric materials.
