Abstract

Enzymatic catalysis is finding a true home in the field of polymer science. Lipases are of particular interest and have been used to produce a wide range of polyesters and polyamides. We have been focused on using enzymes to mediate chemical transformations of organosilicon compounds, most notably siloxane polymers. This overview describes some of our work using N435 to modify disiloxanes and to polymerize siloxane-containing diols and diesters.
