Enzymatic synthesis of lignin derivable pyridine based polyesters for the substitution of petroleum derived plastics

The increasing concern of global plastic pollution has led to an increase in the production and characterization of bio-based and biodegradable alternatives. Here the authors show the synthesis of a series of fully bio-based alternatives based on 2,4-, 2,5-, and 2,6- pyridinedicarboxylic acids, via...
