Bach-Type Polycondensation with the Aid of Hemoglobin as an Oxygen Supplier, and Synthetic/Bio-Composite

Abstract

We developed a new Bach-type reaction in the presence of oxy-hemoglobin as an oxygen supplier to synthesize polyazobenzene by traditional Bach reaction. The resultant product is a form of polymeric dye/hemoglobin copolymer. The advantage of this research is that it involves a new reaction using the function of biomolecules, as well as the formation of plastics and biomaterials. The bio-based material may have good affinity with life forms, which may lead to applications in medical science.
