Enzymatic synthesis of an electrospinnable poly(butylene succinate-co-dilinoleic succinate) thermoplastic elastomer

Abstract

<italic>Candida antarctica</italic>lipase B was successfully employed for the first time as a biocatalyst to obtain high molecular weight PBS : DLS copolyester<italic>via</italic>a two-stage method in diphenyl ether from diethyl succinate, 1,4-butanediol, and dimer linoleic diol.
