Abstract
The enzymatic degradation and polymerization using an enzyme were carried out with respect to the establishment of a sustainable chemical recycling system for poly(trimethylene carbonate) [P(TMC)] which is a potentially biodegradable synthetic plastic. The enzymatic transformation of P(TMC)s having an M n of 3000-48000 using Candida antarctica hpase (lipase CA) in acetonitrile at 70 °C afforded the corresponding cyclic monomet, trimethylene carbonate (TMC: 1,3-dioxan-2-one), in a yield of up to 80%. Thus obtained TMC readily polymerized again using both fresh lipase CA and reco ered lipase CA.
