Summary
Enzymatic polymerization of biobased BHMTHF with adipate, BHMF, and FDCA co-monomers yields a range of biodegradable copolyesters under mild, catalyst-free conditions. These bio-derived, compostable polyesters present an alternative to petroleum-based plastics, addressing the environmental persistence problem that drives microplastic accumulation.
Overview of the enzymatic synthesis of various biobased and biodegradable (co)polyesters derived from BHMTHF, dimethyl adipate, BHMF, and FDCA.
