Biocatalytic Materials and Coatings
The incorporation of enzymes into polymeric materials has led to the development of biocatalytic gels, foams, and coatings. The preparation of these materials involves the covalent crosslinking of enzyme functional groups with monomers leading to the formation of a bioplastic material...
