TI - Candida antartica Lipase B Catalyzed Polycaprolactone Synthesis: Effects of Organic Media and Temperature N2 - Engineering of the reaction medium and study of an expanded range of reaction temperatures were carried out in an effort to positively influence the outcome of Novozyme-435 (immobilized Lipase B from Candida antarctica)catalyzed ¤-CL polymerizations. A series of solvents including acetonitrile, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, butyl ether, isopropyl ether, isooctane, and toluene (log P from -1.1 to 4.5)were evaluated at 70 ïC. Statistically (ANOVA), two significant regions were observed. Solvents having log P values from -1.1 to 0.49 showed low propagation rates (e30 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l0_H2QeFw3MY3f-xkNjO9tsIL7VKM6tZ/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
