Enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of malonate polyesters and their use as metal chelating materials
Following the environmental problems caused by non-degradable plastics there is a need to synthesise greener and more sustainable polymers. In this work we describe, for the first time, the facile enzyme-catalysed synthesis of linear polyesters using dimethyl malonate as the diester. These polymers,...

Following the environmental problems caused by non-degradable plastics there is a need to synthesise greener and more sustainable polymers.
