Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a polymer/biological entities alloy, comprising a step of mixing a polymer and biological entities that degrade it, during a heat treatment, said heat treatment being performed at a temperature T above room temperature and said biological entities being resistant to said temperature T, characterized in that said biological entities are chosen from enzymes that degrade said polymer and microorganisms that degrade said polymer.
Claims10
A process for preparing a polymer/biological entities alloy, comprising a step of mixing a polymer and biological entities, said biological entities degrade said polymer, wherein said alloy is prepared during a heat treatment performed at a temperature T above room temperature, at which the polymer is in a partially or totally molten state, said biological entities being able to degrade said polymer in said alloy, and wherein said polymer is polycaprolactone and said biological entity comprises a lipase.
