Abstract
Nylons are important polyamide (PA) materials that can be polymerized from different monomers. Bio-based nylon monomers are traditionally obtained through chemical conversion from vegetable oils, but they can be more sustainably obtained through multienzymatic catalysis. For large-scale application of this process, enzyme engineering and process innovation must be combined.
