Polymer Clay Nanocomposites
TL;DR: The development of polymer-clay nanocomposite materials, in which nanometer-thick layers of clay are dispersed in polymers, was first achieved about 15 years ago as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel method for polysaccharide synthesis using an enzyme: the first in vitro synthesis of cellulose via a nonbiosynthetic path utilizing cellulase as catalyst
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative polymerization of phenols revisited
TL;DR: An overview on recent developments of oxidative polymerizations of phenols, particularly focusing on the coupling selectivity, can be found in this article, where three reaction mechanisms are discussed: coupling of free phenoxy radicals, coupling of the phenoxonium cation coordinated to catalyst complexes, and coupling through the phenoxide cation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic polymerization: A new method of polymer synthesis
TL;DR: This article describes the recent progress of enzymatic polymerization technique, developed mainly during this decade, which utilizes enzymes of hydrolases and oxidoreductases as catalysts.
