In vitro enzyme-mediated polymerization of vinyl monomers is reviewed. Oxidoreductase enzymes have been used for the polymerization of styrene, derivatives of styrene, acrylates, and acrylamide in water and water-miscible co-solvents. Kinetic and mechanistic studies revealed that a ternary system (horseradish peroxidase, H2O2, initiator, or beta-diketone) is required for efficient polymerization and the initiator controls the polymer characteristics.
