Lipase-Catalyzed Copolymerization of ω-Pentadecalactone with p-Dioxanone and Characterization of Copolymer Thermal and Crystalline Properties
Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB), a metal-free enzyme, was successfully employed as catalyst for ring-opening copolymerization of ω–pentadecalactone (PDL) with p-dioxanone (DO) under mild reaction conditions (< 80oC, atmospheric pressure). Poly(PDL-co-DO) with high molecular weight (Mw > 30...

Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB), a metal-free enzyme, was successfully employed as catalyst for ring-opening copolymerization of ω–pentadecalactone (PDL) with p-dioxanone (DO) under mild reaction conditions (< 80oC, atmospheric pressure). Poly(PDL-co-DO) with high molecular weight (Mw > 30 000) and a wide range of comonomer contents were synthesized using various PDL/DO feed ratios. During the copolymerization reaction, large ring PDL was found to be more reactive than its smaller counterpart DO, resulting in higher PDL/DO unit ratios in polymer chains than the corresponding PDL/DO monomer ratios in the feed. The copolymers were typically isolated in 50-90 wt% yields as the monomer conversion was limited by the equilibrium between monomers and copolymer. 1H- and 13C-NMR analysis on poly(PDL-co-DO) formed by CALB showed that the copolymers contain nearly random sequences of PDL and DO units with a slight tendency towards alternating arrangements.
