Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of acid-degradable poly(β-thioether ester) and poly(β-thioether ester-co-lactone) copolymers

Renewable Isohexide‐Based, Hydrolytically Degradable Poly(silyl ether)s with High Thermal Stability

“…[37] Hydrolyticallys ensitive polymers are of special interest because of their potential applications in biomedical fields such as in the delivery of protein-based vaccines andn ucleic acids and in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Candida antarctica Lipase B as Catalyst for Cyclic Esters Synthesis, Their Polymerization and Degradation of Aliphatic Polyesters

“…its thermal properties and increase biodegradation rate [66,67]. Incorporating α,ω-(dihydroxy alkyl) terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) to the PCL structure, slightly increase the thermal stability of PCL [68].…”

“…It suggests, that there is no strong correlation between polymerization rate and ring size of lacton. Recently, PCL homopolymer and its copolymer with methyl 3-((2-hydroxyethyl)thio)propanoate were synthesized by solution polymerization in diphenyl ether obtaining products with M n = 70.2 kg mol −1 and M n = 51 kg mol −1 , respectively [66].…”

Lipase‐catalyzed synthesis of aliphatic poly(β‐thioether ester) with various methylene group contents: thermal properties, crystallization and degradation

“…The successful synthesis of aliphatic polyesters with functional groups including hydroxyl, mercapto, tertiary amine, vinyl, epoxy, oxetane, carboxyl, azide and so on through lipase‐catalyzed polymerization has been reported. However, there are only a few reports on the enzymatic synthesis of poly( β ‐thioether ester)s . Weber and co‐workers prepared linear copolymeric polyesters bearing β ‐thiopropionate groups by CALB‐catalyzed polycondensation from 3,3′‐thiodipropionic acid and α , ω ‐alkanediols.…”

“…Weber and co‐workers prepared linear copolymeric polyesters bearing β ‐thiopropionate groups by CALB‐catalyzed polycondensation from 3,3′‐thiodipropionic acid and α , ω ‐alkanediols. Yu and co‐workers reported high‐molecular‐weight poly( β ‐thioether ester) and poly[( β ‐thioether ester)‐ co ‐( ϵ ‐caprolactone)] copolymers through CALB‐catalyzed polymerization of methyl 3‐((2‐hydroxyethyl)thio)propanoate with ϵ ‐caprolactone. Recently, Cádiz and co‐workers reported the preparation of branched poly( β ‐thioether ester)s by lipase‐catalyzed polycondensation of diester and hydroxyester monomers from heptanal.…”
