Synthesis and characterization of biosynthetic polymers based on (2E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy)-2-phenylpropenoic acid

Resumo

The polymers obtained by the dehydrogenization enzymatic polymerization of (2E)-3-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxy)-2-phenylpropenoic acid (ferulic acid) in the peroxidase–hydrogen peroxide system were studied by ¹³С NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, sedimentation diff usion analysis, and viscometry. The amount of the main structure fragments of the macromolecules was established, and comparative analysis of the chemical structures of the polymers was carried out. Differences in the topological structures of macromolecules of the biosynthetic polymers based on ferulic acid were revealed.
