This method uses polymer modifications to tune enzyme activity for increased solubility in non-native solvents. Background Tuning the miscibility of enzymes in non-native solvent environments has ...

Expected Outcome and Results The Coordinated Research Project is expected to enhance capabilities of Member States in the application of radiation techniques (radiation-induced reactions for polymer ...

The team did run into some challenges; synthetic polymer modifications often fail because the reactions were originally developed for small-molecule analogs, not big-molecule analogs such as pure PVC.

“So this is the first step in controllably modifying PVC to give it properties you’re interested in, whether it’s hard, stretchy or soft.” The team did run into some challenges; synthetic polymer ...
