This project aims to develop a new class of advanced multifunctional polymer materials with the potential to underpin significant breakthrough capabilities for soft materials in general. The proposed work will relocate biological catalysts from their native, wet environment to solid organic engineering bio-sourced resins. Suitably selected enzymes will allow creation of polymer-based products that can be fully recyclable, with built-in properties such as self-healing, shape morphing, which are mechanically tunable, and have the ability to be reprocessed/recycled multiple times. This research will initiate a disruptive change in the application of biocatalysts for bio-based polymers.

该项目旨在开发一类新的高级多功能聚合物材料，并有可能为软材料提供重要的突破性。拟议的工作将将生物催化剂从其本土潮湿的环境转移到固体有机工程生物产生的树脂。适当选择的酶将允许创建基于聚合物的产品，这些产品可以完全回收，具有内置特性，例如自我修复，形状变形，它们在机械上可以调整，并且具有多次重新加工/回收的能力。这项研究将在生物催化剂在基于生物的聚合物中的应用中引发破坏性变化。
