Enzymatic polymerization

Its capacity to manufacture polymers with exact structures in mild circumstances opens up new possibilities for material design and application, helping to progress both research and industry.

It works under mild circumstances, usually at room temperature and pressure as well as in aqueous environments, in contrast to conventional chemical polymerization techniques that frequently need for harsh conditions and harmful reagents.

The potential applications of polymers produced via enzymatic polymerization are vast, spanning the fields of biomedicine, materials science, and environmental engineering.

Furthermore, enzymatic polymerization opens up fascinating possibilities for the production of innovative biomaterials with tailored characteristics for specific industrial applications.
