Summary
The paper is concerned with the polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated with invertase and copper(II) ion in water. The effect of invertase amount, CuCl2·2H2O amount and temperature on conversion and molecular weight of the formed polymer are presented. The overall activation energy was estimated to be 63.91 kJ/mole.
