Abstract

Novel feasibility of fuctionalized poly(3-hydroxybutanoic acid), PHB, and its copolymers synthesis via ring-opening of beta-butyrolactone (ROP) mediated by activated anionic initiators or enzymes in vitro is presented. Using these new synthetic approaches, PHB with defined chemical structure of the end groups as well as block, graft and random copolymers have been obtained and characterized by IR, NMR, ESI-MS and GPC techniques. The relationship between the structure and properties of the novel polymeric materials prepared is discussed.
