Polymeric triglyceride analogs prepared by enzyme-catalyzed condensation polymerization

► Bulk lipase-catalyzed polymerizations, non-fractionated products. ► Comonomer feed ratio (oleic diacid:glycerol:linoleic acid) 1:1:0.67, Mn reached 9500 in 8 h. ► Glycerol units along chain reached nearly quantitative conversion to trisubstituted units. ► Branched chains that mimic triglyceride repeat units. ► Calculations performed to determine relative proportion of different substitution patterns of glycerol units.
