Ultrasound assisted lipase catalyzed synthesis of poly-6-hydroxyhexanoate 

 -  Ultrasonics SonoChemistry, 19, p.659-667, 2012 .
<br/><br/> Ultrasonic irradiation greatly improved the Candida antarctica lipase B mediated ring opening polymerization of e-caprolactone to poly-6-hydroxyhexanoate in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetraflouroborate. Compared to the conventional nonsonicated reaction, sonication improved the monomer conversion by 63
