An Arthrobacter citreus strain suitable for degrading ε-caprolactam in polyamide waste and accumulation of glutamic acid [PDF]
AMB Express, 2019 ε-Caprolactam-a toxic xenobiotic compound present in industrial polyamide waste was found to be degraded by caprolactam-degrading bacteria. Arthrobacter citreus was able to utilize up to 20 g ε-caprolactam/l as the sole source of carbon more efficiently ...

A Circular and Tacticity-Independent Crystalline Mono-Substituted Nylon-6 Platform: Unexpected Large Positional Effects on Crystallizability and Performance. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglMethyl substitution positions on the nylon‐6 backbone markedly affect crystallizability, thermomechanical properties, and recyclability of the resulting atactic nylon‐6 variants. While γ‐methyl substitution gives an amorphous nylon, all other four methyl‐substitution positions (α, β, δ, and ε) afford, unexpectedly, crystalline nylons, showing tacticity‐

Defined Nylon Oligomers Enable Mechanistic Insight Into Enzymatic Polyamide Depolymerization. [PDF]
ChemSusChemThe remarkable progress in enzymatic polyester depolymerization has demonstrated the potential of biocatalysis for sustainable polymer recycling. In contrast, enzymatic polyamide (PA) degradation remains poorly understood, largely due to the lack of defined and accessible model substrates.
