Abstract:Regioselective enzymatic polycondensation of the bio‐based cellulose derived polyol, Triol‐citro, and dimethyl adipate using Candida antarctica Lipase B (CaLB) was investigated. A Design of Experiment approach with MODDE® Pro 13 was used to determine important factors in the branching behavior of this polymer, and reactant ratio, temperature, reaction time and enzyme wt% were the studied factors. Multifunctional polyesters with pendant hydroxyl groups were synthesized and fully characterized using 2D NMR techn… Show more
