Chemical Upcycling of PET into a Morpholine Amide as a Versatile Synthetic Building Block
, 2023 A catalytic chemical upcycling methodology for polyesters has been developed. Commodity polyesters, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), are depolymerized with morpholine by using a Cp*TiCl3 catalyst under ambient pressure without any additives ...

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their
