Lipases were successfully immobilized via interfacial activation on poly-methacrylate.
TLL–PMA was the most active biocatalyst in hydrolysis and esterification reactions.
TLL–PMA was effectively used in the synthesis of n-octyl oleate (biolubricant).
Maximum ester conversion around 95% was observed after 60 min of reaction.
The biocatalyst fully retained its original activity after 12 cycles of reaction.
