Enzymatic synthesis of polymer acrylates and their evaluation as wood coatings
UV-curable acrylates are the base for a large and growing product group within the coatings industry. Traditional chemical catalysis is poorly suited for acrylation reactions since these require low temperatures to avoid polymerization. In this study, immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B has been used to efficiently acrylate four polymers through transesterification of ethyl acrylate, via a sol
