Ferulic Acid as Building Block for the Lipase-Catalyzed Synthesis of Biobased Aromatic Polyesters
Enzymatic synthesis of aromatic biobased polyesters is a recent and rapidly expanding research field. However, the direct lipase-catalyzed synthesis of polyesters from ferulic acid has not yet been reported. In this work, various ferulic-based monomers were considered for their capability to undergo...

Enzymatic synthesis of aromatic biobased polyesters is a recent and rapidly expanding research field.
