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 conducted under solventless conditions without the application of metal catalysts. Hence this process is ...
متن کاملThe reality of dreams.
Sigmund Freud (1856 –1939) was a Viennese physician and the founder of psychoanalysis (1, 2 ). His seminal The Interpretation of Dreams was published in 1899 (3 ). Psychoanalysis dominated psychology and psychiatry for much of the 20th century. What is relevant to this Science in the Arts series is that Freud’s thinking also had a major influence on the arts. In the 1920s, his concepts stimulat...
متن کاملLipase-catalyzed polyester synthesis – A green polymer chemistry
This article is a short comprehensive review describing in vitro polyester synthesis catalyzed by a hydrolysis enzyme of lipase, most of which has been developed for these two decades. Polyesters are prepared by repeated ester bond-formation reactions; they include two major modes, ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic monomers such as cyclic esters (lactones) and condensation polymerizat...
متن کاملThe second green revolution? Production of plant-based biodegradable plastics.
Biodegradable plastics are those that can be completely degraded in landfills, composters or sewage treatment plants by the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms. Truly biodegradable plastics leave no toxic, visible or distinguishable residues following degradation. Their biodegradability contrasts sharply with most petroleum-based plastics, which are essentially indestructible in a bio...
متن کاملBiotechnology and Green Chemistry
White biotechnology can be regarded as applied biocatalysis, with enzymes and microorganisms, aiming at industrial production of bulk and fine chemicals to food and animal feed additives. In its turn biocatalysis has many attractive features in the context of greenchemistry: mild reaction conditions (physiological pH and temperature); environmentally compatible catalysts and solvent (often wate...
