Monitoring biotransformations in polyesters

This paper describes two methods to monitor esterase hydrolysis at the surface of polyester fibres (PET-Polyethylene terephthalate). The hydroxyl groups were determined on the fibre surface by alkaline reaction with a reactive dye (CI Reactive Black 5) and colour intensity was determined using a ref...
