A Green Polymerization of Aspartic Acid for the Undergraduate Organic Laboratory
Bennett, George D.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n9 p1380-1381 Sep 2005
The green polymerization of aspartic acid carried out during an organic-inorganic synthesis laboratory course for undergraduate students is described. The procedure is based on work by Donlar Corporation, a Peru, Illinois-based company that won a Green Chemistry Challenge Award in 1996 in the Small Business category for preparing thermal poly(aspartate) without organic solvents.
