5-Acetoxymethyl-2-furfural (AMF) was prepared from D-fructose via 1,6-diacetylfructose (DAF) through a simple two-step reaction pathway. Immobilized enzyme (Novozym 435) was found to be the best enzymatic catalyst for the trans-esterification step (yielding 94.6% DAF). In the dehydration step, while soluble

Recent studies have shown the relevance of growing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in three-dimensional environments with respect to the monolayer cell culture on an adherent substrate. In this sense, macroporous scaffolds and hydrogels have been used as three-dimensional (3D) supports.
Lipases efficiently stearate and cutinases acetylate the surface of arabinoxylan films.
Hyperbranched polycaprolactone with controlled structure was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer radical ring-opening polymerization along with self-condensed vinyl polymerization (SCVP) of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane (MDO). Vinyl 2-[(ethoxycarbonothioyl) sulfanyl] propanoate (ECTVP) was used as polymerizable chain transfer agent. Living polymerization behavior was
