title: One-Pot Synthesis of Multifunctional Polymers by Light-Controlled Radical Polymerization and Enzymatic Catalysis with Candida antarctica Lipase B.
abstract: The preparation of multifunctional polymers and block copolymers by a straightforward one-pot reaction process that combines enzymatic transacylation with light-controlled polymerization is described. Functional methacrylate monomers are synthesized by enzymatic transacylation and used in situ for light-controlled polymerization, leading to multifunctional methacrylate-based polymers with well-defined microstructure.
