Deep Eutectic Solvent as Dual Solvent–Catalyst for Efficient Starch Esterification With Vinyl Laurate via Reactive Extrusion

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 19, 14 October 2026.
A green approach to esterify wheat starch by reactive extrusion using a novel deep eutectic solvent has been developed. The DES acted both as a starch solvent and as an activating agent to complete the esterification within 15–30 min. This novel approach opens new opportunities for the development and upscaling of biobased polymers with promising ...
