Lipase-mediated degradation of poly-ε-caprolactone in toluene: Behavior and its action mechanism

Lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) in toulene was investigated. PCL with number-average molecular weight (Mn) 10,000 g mol−1 was hydrolyzed using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB). The increase in PCL concentration led to a decrease in degradation rate. Enhanced r...
