Summary: | Enzymatic polymer functionalisation has entered its most fascinating period with development in this field largely at the basic research level and pilot scale applications. Development of enzymatic processes for the development of lignocellulose-based functional polymers has not been spared, ranging from textile fibres with novel properties (antimicrobials properties, hydrophobic properties, attractive shed colours, etc.) to fibreboards. Enzymatic processes are also being actively pursued aimed at developing functional polymers from lignin (a major by product of the pulp and process). |
