Abstract
Free or immobilized lipases and cutinases are the predominant biocatalysts in the relevant polymer families, being used in polycondensation as well as in ring-opening reaction schemes. The efficiency of the different biocatalytic processes is herein correlated to important process parameters, such as the enzyme and monomer type, the reaction temperature and time, the polymerization technique (solution or solvent-free), as well as the by-product removal method, e.g., application of vacuum, water absorption by molecular sieves, azeotropic distillation.
