Enzyme catalyzed synthesis of renewable polyamides was investigated using <i>Candida antarctica</i> lipase B. A fatty acid-derived AB-type functional monomer, having one amine and one methyl ester functionality, was homopolymerized at 80 and 140 °C. Additionally, the organobase 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) was used as a catalyst. The results from the two catalysts were comparable. However, the amount of lipase added was 1.2 × 10<sup>3</sup> times lower, showing that the lipase was a ...[more]
