Abstract

We use amide synthetases to regioselectively synthesize nylon-relevant diads from unprotected substrates, enabling conversion of renewable feedstocks to high-molecular-weight nylons.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Synthesis and properties of polymers Polymer composites and self-healing Polymer crystallization and properties
