Laccase-mediated functionalization of chitosan with 4-hexyloxyphenol enhances antioxidant and hydrophobic properties of copolymer.

TLDR
An effective method to functionalize chitosan with 4-hexyloxyphenol (HP) under homogeneous reaction conditions was developed using laccase as the catalyst, resulting in a new type of composite with double functionalities that could potentially be used as food packaging materials or coating agents.
