Polymers anchoring fungicidal biphenyl-2-ol (BPOL) were prepared by the polymerization and copolymerization of 2-biphenylyl methacrylate (BPMA) with various comonomers such as styrene, vinyl acetate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, N-methacryloylglycine, and N- methacryloyl-DL-alanine. The reactivity ratios of BPMA with the comonomers were evaluated. The α-chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of the polymers was also studied. The ...
