Inclusion complexes composed of
amylose and strongly hydrophobic polyesters
Figure 8.8
Preparation of inclusion complexes composed of amylose
and strongly hydrophobic polyesters in parallel enzymatic
polymerization system.
To investigate the effect of the methylene chain length of the
dicarboxylic acids and the diols on the formation of inclusion
complexes, the dicarboxylic acids and the diols having methylene
units of 10 and 12, hereafter denoted as Diacid-10, Diacid-12, Diol-
10, and Diol-12, were employed for this polymerization system. The
