Biodegradability of poly(ester-thioether)s containing chiral biomass via a Michael-type thiol-ene click reaction

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: -META) showed 16% to 28% biodegradation after 30 days, indicating diastereomeric effects on biodegradability. Since enzymatic hydrolysis using lipase showed a similar trend to the BOD tests, we concluded that biodegradability depends on the stereochemistry along the polymer backbone.
