Well-defined fluoropolymers exhibit unique properties such as excellent oil and water repellency, satisfactory thermal stability, a low refractive index, surface energy. The origin of these is attributed to the presence strong electronegative polarizable fluorine atom in backbone polymers, which leads C–F bond (with high dissociation energy 485 kJ mol–1). Because features, polymers have found a...

In this review article, the precise synthesis of functional polysaccharide materials using phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic reactions is presented. This particular enzymatic approach has been identified as a powerful tool in preparing well-defined polysaccharide materials. Phosphorylase is an enzyme that has been employed in the synthesis of pure amylose with a precisely controlled structure. ...
