A series of poly(GMA ‐co‐ EGDMA) resins with identical composition but varying particle sizes, pore radii, specific surface areas and specific volumes are studied to assess how Candida antarctica lipase B immobilization affects the porosity of the copolymer particles. Mercury porosimetry reveals a significant change in the average pore size (up to 6.1‐fold), the specific surface area (up to 3.2‐fold) and the specific volume (up to 2.1‐fold) of the epoxy resin. A similar behaviour is observed for glutaraldehyde‐modified epoxy resins. The influences of the resin porosity properties on the loading of Candida antarctica lipase B during immobilization and on the hydrolytic activity (hydrolysis of p ‐nitrophenyl acetate) of the immobilized lipase are studied.
